Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 485

There was only one Fuller in the room, and that was Felicia.

Not long ago, Imogen had been warm and caring toward her, treating her like a beloved younger sister. Her kindness and attentiveness were evident to all the maids and subordinates of the Russell family.

Yet now, she turned against Felicia in an instant.

Stanley instinctively glanced at Felicia, expecting her to show some reaction, perhaps sadness or indignation. But there was nothing. Felicia's expression remained calm. There was not even a frown on her face. It was as though the matter had nothing to do with her, or it was as if she had grown used to such situations.

Stanley braced himself and said, "Ms. Russell, the Fuller family's matter has nothing to do with Mrs. Russell. Even if you're upset, you shouldn't vent your anger on her…"

What a choice of words—venting anger!

Mrs. Russell? What a bold claim!

Imogen's eyes suddenly gleamed with sharpness. In that instant, all the warmth she showed previously disappeared, replaced by an imperious air. "Without my approval, how could there even be a Mrs. Russell in the Russell family?"

"Ms. Russell, please calm down—"

"I'm calm enough! Get her out of here! I never want to see her again!"

"Ms. Russell, things aren't what you think. Besides, you still need to have Mrs. Russell treat your eyes. Can you please calm down first?" Stanley was sweating with anxiety, unsure of how to persuade her. He resorted to saying whatever came to mind.

However, those words only made Imogen's eyebrows arch even higher and her sneer grow colder.

"Treat my eyes? Hah! I wouldn't dare accept such kindness!"

Once prejudice and hatred took root, they would only keep growing, distorting every action of the other party into something malicious and insincere.

The affection Imogen had previously shown Felicia had now twisted into intense hatred!

The thought of having let her guard down completely, treating the daughter of her enemy with such sincerity and trust, filled Imogen with regret and self-loathing. She blamed herself for being blind in more ways than one, unable to discern the true nature of those around her.
