Johanna finally felt a sense of triumph!

She had endured being treated as a lowly figure, keeping a low profile, hiding, and suppressing her feelings while having to watch Archie and Imogen act all lovey dovey in front of her for the longest time.

There were countless times when jealousy had driven her to dig her nails into her palms, to the point that they bled.

But now, she no longer had to hide anything. Johanna felt an immense sense of satisfaction, and her face no longer carried the meek and gentle facade she once wore. Instead, it was filled with unabashed arrogance!

Imogen, if it weren’t for your status, do you really think a blind, aging woman like you could have made Archie treat you so well?

“Let me tell you the truth–Archie is mine! Long before he met you, he and I were already in love! If it weren’t for gaining the Russell family’s trust and getting this seal, he wouldn’t have stomached the disgust of pretending to care for you!

“I never asked for your gratitude, but you still feel it wasn’t enough? What would be enough? Handing the entire Russell family over to you? Bowing and scraping at your feet? Is that what it takes to satisfy you?

Imogen let out a long, heartfelt rant, but she had still underestimated just b

how shameless Johanna and Archie could be. Not only did they fail to reflect on their wrongdoings, but they also brazenly accused and criticized her!

In fact, they even retorted firmly, “If we don’t look out for ourselves, who will? is it wrong for us to seek a better life?”

Imogen was rendered speechless, to the point that she burst out laughing suddenly.
