Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 571

Imogen commanded coldly, "See him out!"

The nearby guards immediately stepped forward, and Kerry was promptly thrown out.

Once he was gone, silence returned to the surroundings.

At that moment, Johanna approached. From a distance, she saw someone being escorted out. Her gaze flickered, and she pushed open Imogen's door.

"Imogen, who was that just now? Looks like he got kicked out. What was he here for?"

Since the rainforest incident, Johanna had changed. She was no longer as close to Imogen. While her demeanor seemed as warm as ever, there was a faint, indescribable sense of distance between them.

Imogen snapped out of her thoughts and replied casually, "Nothing. It's just someone trying to curry favor, so I sent him away."

"Oh…" Johanna didn't dwell on it. Imogen had always trusted her completely, sharing everything without reservation. It was unlikely she'd lie to her.

Relieved, Johanna smiled. "Imogen, you should rest early. I'll come by tomorrow to help look after the baby."

Just as she turned to leave, Imogen suddenly remarked, "Johanna, you've been in quite a good mood since we returned from the rainforest."

Johanna froze for a moment, her expression turning stiff for a moment. But since Imogen couldn't see her, she quickly changed to a smile and replied, "I guess I am. It's all because you safely delivered the baby."

She then quickly added, "Why do you ask, Imogen?"

"No reason. Seeing you happy makes me happy too." Imogen chuckled and teased, "Johanna, could it be that you're seeing someone?"

Since returning from the rainforest, Imogen had noticed Johanna spending less and less time with her. Most days, she went out without saying where, but she always returned in high spirits. That behavior was typical of someone going on dates.
