“<b>Oh</b><b>, </b>my deardy! Please don’t do this to me!” Andy eximed internally as he was on the verge of dropping to his knees in exasperation. novelbin
Even if Imogen wanted to be willful, couldn’t she at least find a better time and ce? Did she not realize the situation they were in right now? The ce was infested with snakes, Insects, and rodents—not to mention the countless unseen dangers lurking in the shadows!
Dying 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 rxed mindset remained <b>unshaken </b>as she enjoyed theforts of a military–grade tent, with all her needs taken care of. There were even several medical personnel on standby. She <b>was </b>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 <b>again </b>but was interrupted by Johanna’sugh. 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.
<b>Still</b>, Imogen’s attention was sessfully 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 <b>hard </b>to believe it wasn’t to badmouth us to Stephan! Why else would be send us away?
“And the way he treated her was like she was somend of princess! He carried her the entire time, and when I spoke too loudly, he even snapped at me! With Felicia around, Stephan will never take our side. His heart has already been stolen by her!”
Imogen’s expression darkened visibly as she listened, her teeth clenched tightly. Her hatred for Felicia reached new heights.
But what stung her more was her own brother’s tant favoritism. To prioritize an outsider so openly was just downright infuriating!
Seeing that her n had taken <b>root</b><b>, </b>Johanna feigned concem. “Imogen<b>, </b>should we head back, then?”
“Of course not!” Imogen said, gripping the chair as she sat down. Her expression was <b>as </b>cold as ice, her resolve even firmer than before. “I want to see for myself who actually calls the <b>shots </b>in the Russell family!”
Hearing this, Johanna’s lips curled into <b>a </b>satisfied smile. She <b>was </b>about to watch a <b>good </b>show y out before her.
She could only hope that Stephan and Felicia would emerge from the rainforest soon. Once they did, Imogen would undoubtedly cause a scene. Then, they’d see who Stephan chose–his sister or his lover.
Meanwhile, outside the tent, Andy was busy instructing the team to pack up and prepare for departure. Yet Johanna emerged to inform them that Imogen was refusing to leave, intending to stay put,
Andy was dumbfounded. “Ms. Rosario, why didn’t you try harder to convince her? She’s pregnant! This isn’t a joke!”
“I did my best, but she won’t budge. There’s no point in you wasting your efforts either,” she replied, wearing an expression that suggested she had done her best.
Andy couldn’t formte a response.
Taking this opportunity, Johanna made <b>a </b>new request. “By the way, I’d like to wash my face. Could someone fetch me a bucket of water?”
Andy and his men were speechless.
Fetching a bucket of water? It was easier said than done!
The water supply they had brought by helicopter was dwindling fast. All the food, drinks, and necessities provided to Imogen and Johanna had <be </b>from the limited tanks of purified water.
