Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 586

As he spoke, Archie patted Johanna's head gently. "Go to the dining room and eat first."

Johanna blurted, "I'll go with you…"

"Be good." Archie's gaze darkened slightly, carrying a hint of warning.

Reluctantly, she closed her mouth and obediently headed to the dining room.

Archie navigated the house with ease, heading straight to the third floor where Stephan's bedroom was located. His path was unhindered, and no one noticed as his right hand occasionally brushed against his pocket, where a toxic syringe lay hidden.

The corridor was deserted and eerily quiet.

Standing at the door to Stephan's bedroom, Archie noted the black, specially designed door. It was explosion-proof, soundproof, and highly secure. Under normal circumstances, it was nearly impossible to breach.

Fortunately, the door was ajar and unlocked.

As he reached out to push the door open, a sudden weight landed on his shoulder. Startled, he turned around sharply, only to see Stanley standing behind him, grinning mischievously.

"Well, well. What brings you here, Mr. Rosario?" Stanley asked, the title more of a tease than a show of respect.

Archie calmly withdrew his hand and replied, "I heard Mr. Russell is still unconscious, so I came to check on him."

Before becoming linked to Imogen, the eldest daughter of the Russell family, Archie had just been one of many subordinates in the Russell family. In a family brimming with skilled and capable individuals, he had been an unremarkable and overlooked figure. He was nothing more than a fringe character.
