Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 525

"Oh, my dear lady! Please don't do this to me!" Andy exclaimed internally as he was on the verge of dropping to his knees in exasperation.

Even if Imogen wanted to be willful, couldn't she at least find a better time and place? Did she not realize the situation they were in right now? The place was infested with snakes, insects, and rodents—not to mention the countless unseen dangers lurking in the shadows!

Delaying and staying here could lead to all sorts of unexpected disasters!

But to be fair, Imogen was blind and couldn't see any of those threats.

That ignorance was precisely why she had no idea about the immense pressure and sacrifices her guards had to endure to ensure her safety.

Her relaxed mindset remained unshaken as she enjoyed the comforts of a military-grade tent, with all her needs taken care of. There were even several medical personnel on standby. She was enjoying the absolute best treatment right there!

This gave her the illusion that this was nothing more than a carefree camping trip.

Andy attempted to persuade her again but was interrupted by Johanna's laugh. She then cut him off, "Andy, why don't you step outside for a bit? Let me talk to Imogen."

Andy nodded, ignoring the grudge he held against Johanna for all the trouble she had caused earlier. If she could talk some sense into Imogen, everything would be worth it.

After Andy left the tent, Imogen turned her head and snorted coldly. "Johanna, are you siding with them now?"

Johanna chuckled. "How could I, Imogen? I'm not here to persuade you. I just wanted to tell you something, but you must promise me you won't get mad after hearing it."

When someone prefaced a statement like that, it would almost always be something infuriating.

Still, Imogen's attention was successfully diverted. She asked, "What is it? Out with it!"

With exaggerated indignation and embellishment, Johanna recounted what she had seen in the rainforest—Felicia's appearance, her inexplicable presence, and how Stephan had fiercely protected her.

"She showed up at just the right time, didn't she? She left Khogend just to stir up trouble here. It's hard to believe it wasn't to badmouth us to Stephan! Why else would he send us away?
