Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 619

Imogen paved a smooth road to success for Archie and even turned him into the esteemed son-in-law of the Russell family!

The more she thought about it, the more terrified she felt.

If it weren't for the fact that her eyes had already recovered, allowing her to see for herself the ambition hidden beneath Archie's hypocritical facade and his sordid relationship with Johanna, she might still be kept in the dark, played like a fool!

Thankfully, she met Felicia.

Imogen blinked lightly, concealing the hatred and murderous intent in her eyes. Instead, she put on a docile and frightened expression, anxiously saying, "Archie, no, I've always trusted you!"

"Then why won't you give me the seal? Are you afraid I'll take it all for myself?"

Archie sighed theatrically, feigning disappointment. "Forget it. Since it belongs to the Russell family, I won't touch it, then."

Hearing this, Imogen panicked and hurriedly grabbed his hand, raising her voice. "Don't say that! We're husband and wife. What's yours is mine, and what's mine is yours! If you want the seal, I'll give it to you!"

With that, she pointed toward her vanity table and instructed, "In the third drawer, there's a small button-shaped decoration. Turn it once, and a hidden compartment will pop out. The seal is inside."

Finally!

Archie's heart raced, his breathing becoming heavier.

After enduring and keeping up the act for so long, he had finally extracted the seal's location from her. His patience had paid off!

At that thought, he couldn't help but feel smug. He knew this foolish old woman loved him to death.

Sure enough, with a little sulking and some emotional manipulation, she spilled everything.

Eagerly, Archie rushed to the vanity table, following Imogen's instructions precisely. He soon found the button-shaped decoration.

Although Pete was slightly surprised that he had succeeded so quickly, he simply replied with a single word, "Okay."

Seeing the response, Archie's last bit of anxiety melted away completely. He couldn't help but laugh aloud, already envisioning himself standing at the pinnacle of power and wealth.

With no more reservations, he confidently took Johanna's hand and kissed the back of it affectionately, his love on full display. "Johanna, I'll make you the happiest woman in the world!"

Johanna felt touched and excited.

She nodded vigorously, but then something just occurred to her. She glanced at Imogen, who was standing there dumbfounded. With a sneer, she asked, "Archie, now that we have what we need, what should we do with this old woman?"

No longer needing to pretend, the two dropped all pretense, speaking openly and brazenly.

Imogen appeared stunned, her face full of shock and confusion. Her vacant eyes looked lost and helpless. "Archie… Johanna… What are you talking about? I don't understand…"
