Felicia felt chills go down her spine. Her dream seemed like a warning. "What's the news? Did something happen to Stephan?"
Stanley nodded but quickly regained his composure. He immediately began organizing his team, instructing them to prepare their gear and arrange for helicopters.
After completing the preparations, Stanley turned to Felicia. "Mrs. Russell, I'll leave a team here to protect you. Something happened to Mr. Russell, and I need to take a team to him!"
As he was about to leave, Felicia grabbed him by the shoulder. "I'm coming too."
Ten minutes later, nine helicopters took off in the same direction.
…
Back at the Russell residence in Seldvale, Imogen was growing increasingly irritated. Being pregnant was exhausting enough. But her pregnancy hormones, coupled with Johanna's constant instigation, only made things worse.
She was heartbroken over Archie's death and angry that Stephan had kept the truth from her.
What made things worse was Stephan's silence despite demanding an explanation from him. It had been two days, yet Stephan never even called her!
"That bastard! Did he abandon me for the sake of that Fuller girl?" Imogen slammed her hand on the table.
Johanna smirked to herself. It seemed her instigation was working.
Johanna cleared her throat and feigned concern. "Imogen, it seems Stephan is choosing Felicia over you. If she marries into the Russell family, we won't be able to bring my brother to justice."
Imogen was enraged. "Don't even think about it! Over my dead body! I'll never allow that to happen!"
