Chapter 657
Johannanodded, her race expressionless and her eyes blank. Although her gaze looked mostly numb, there was a desperate resignation hidden underneath
Johanna had been like this smce Archie’s death.
Pele didn’t care and didn’t take her condition to heart. After all, all he needed was a useful pawn.
In fact, he liked the hopeless look on Johanna’s face. People like her, with nothing left to lose, were the ones who could throw everything into their mission–even their own lives. Anger and hatred were emotions that were essential for cultivating the will to kill.
As Pyte turned around, his phone buzzed. He glanced at the screen, and the grin on his face widened with delight.
“Ms. Rosario,” “Pete called, his lips curling into a smirk as his gaze swept over her tightly dramam expression. “Your opportunity is here. Let’s go. I’ll have someone escort you out “Oh, one more thing” He leaned closer and slipped a knife into Johanna’s hand. “Go on, and don’t disappoint me
Johanna didn’t react and merely tightened her grip on the knife, she gave a cold, empty smile before walking away. Once out of Pete’s line of sight, her tightly clenched jaw twitched, revealing a chilling, venomous short.
The morning traffic on the road was heavy with congestion.
Scarlet was driving, occasionally glancing at Felicia in the back seat “Boss, are you okay?”
Felicia hummed softly, leaning against the seat with her eyes closed.
She looked much better now after getting some rest. At the very least, her complexion had improved, and she no longer appeared as terrifyingly pale as before.
As the car neared the Russell residence, the iron gates opened automatically
Scarlet stepped on the gas and drove in. When the car was about to stop, Felicia instructed quietly, “Don’t mention what happened last night”
“Understood.” Scarlet parked the car and opened the door. As Felicia gotour, she swayed, and Scarlet quickly steadied her.
Just then, Stanley came out to greet them. He rushed over stopping only a few steps away. “Mrs Russell, you’re back? You don’t look too well. Are you hurt?”
“No. But I’m hungry. Please ask the kitchen to prepare something for me. Thank you” Her voice remained as languid as ever, and her posture straightened as if nothing were
Stanley quickly nodded and hurried off
The Russell residence had seen a chaotic skirmish the night before, but the efficiency of the staff was astonishing. There was no sign of the previous turmoil as Felicia walked past The trampled grass had been restored, the broken items repaired, and the bloodstains washed away. The air smelled only of the freshness of rain.
As Felicia stepped through the entrance, she saw Stephan. He was standing with his back to her, speaking into his phone. From her angle, she couldn’t see his face and could only hear his commanding tone as he gave orders.
A muschievous idea crossed Felicia’s mind. She crept up behind him and reached out to cover his eyes
Before she could say anything, Stephan caught her hand and pressed a kiss to her palm without furning around.
Tellcla pouted.
The touch was gentle yet intimate, and it sent a spark through her-
Flustered, Felicia tried to pull her hand back, only for Stephan to tighten his grip, holding her even closer.
