Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 621

Johanna watched coldly, a wicked smile curling at the corners of her lips. Suddenly, a thought crossed her mind, and she turned to Imogen to add, "Don't worry, Ms. Russell. Once you're dead, I'll make sure your son joins you in the afterlife!"

That one sentence struck at Imogen's deepest, most sensitive nerve!

Archie gave Johanna a helpless glance, his eyes filled with affectionate indulgence. "Didn't we agree to wait a little longer before dealing with the child? He still has his use. Just hold out a bit longer. Once we've firmly taken control of the Russell family, then—"

He never had the chance to finish his sentence as a knife suddenly pierced through his chest, impaling him!

In the midst of excruciating pain, Archie regained his senses. Looking down, he met Imogen's icy gaze.

Her eyes… She could see again?

Archie was shocked. In that brief moment, he quickly recalled Imogen's unusual behavior recently, and now…

"You can see? When did you regain your sight? You knew all along, didn't you?" His words came out with great difficulty, but he had already lost all strength. Slowly, his body began to slide down until he collapsed to his knees with a soft thud.

"Yes, I've known for a while," Imogen replied as she twisted the knife deeper into his body, her eyes never leaving his. Blood splattered across her face, giving her an almost eerie look, but she was smiling.

"Archie, you deceived me for so long, so it's only fair that I deceive you once, don't you think? Oh, and by the way, you shouldn't blame me. After all, this is the result of your own stupidity, isn't it?" she repeated his words back to him.

The blow was fatal, and blood continued to flow from his body. Archie's body slid further down, losing all strength.

Imogen removed the belt from her neck and discarded it. Her voice, though slightly raspy from being choked, still held an unmistakable tone of satisfaction.

"Archie! Archie!"

Imogen stood quietly, watching this scene.

It was truly a touching sight.

Archie's final words were not filled with anger or curses but concern for Johanna. He was more worried about her falling into Imogen's hands than about his own death.

Even as his breath left him, he couldn't let go of his thoughts for Johanna. His final glance at Johanna was full of affection, reluctance, and love.

If Archie had spent all his lies, schemes, and manipulations on Imogen, then all his genuine feelings, his true heart, and his love were reserved for Johanna alone.
