Chapter 474
“Stanley, what did you call her?
Johanna’s face was stiff, her smile completely wiped away. Her gaze sharpened, radiating with malice as she demanded, “What did you just call her?”
Stanley grinned, completely unfazed “Mrs. Russell. Is there a problem?”
“ Who gave you the permission to call her that? She doesn’t have the proper title or status. There are countless women vying to marry into the Russell family. Some people should stop being delusional!”
Johanna glared daggers at Felicia, making it crystal clear who she was referring to.
Stanley shook his head , maintaining a polite demeanor, but his tone grew more serious as he replied, “Ms. Rosario, you seem to be overstepping. Mr. Russell’s intentions are not for you to speculate on”
“ You
The remark was a sharp reminder for Johanna to know her place. In the Russell family, she was merely a guest. Acting, so presumptuously and trying to interfere in the Russell family’s matters was far beyond her standing.
Seething in anger but
Hmph! She would endure this for now. One day, she’d make sure Felicia realized that the position of Mrs. Russell belonged to her, Johanna!

Felicia strolled in leisurely, accepting the courtesy as if it were her due.
Her poised and regal demeanor exuded an air of unshakable confidence, as if others were naturally obligated to bow before her.
Johanna secretly clenched her teeth. How dare this woman demand respect from her?
And yet Felicia did. She had received countless requests from all walks of life–nobles, tycoons, and elites. Private jets and extravagant welcomes were hardly new

Otherwise, how did Union Clinic eam their reputation? How had the title of miracle healer come to be?
As Johanna led the way, Felicia followed at a relaxed pace. Stanley, responsible for her safety, didn’t think there was much danger in the Russell estate and had instead taken on the task of carrying Felicia’s medical kit.
Even so , Stanley’s chatter filled the air. At almost every turn, he eagerly pointed things out to Felicia.
“Mrs. Russell, look at that pond over there. It’s full of glowing fish. Mr. Russell always feeds them when he’s home.
– Mrs. Hussell, up ahead is a garden i think you’ll like it. It’s full of flowers, and this time of the year, they should all be in bloom.
His enthusiasm and the repeated use of “Mrs. Russell grated on Johanna’s nerves. Felicia seemed indifferent, paying no mind to it, but Johanna was bolling with tage and could barely keep her composite
They passed iluough an opulent reception hall, took a turn down a lung corridor, and finally stopped.
“We’re fuere,” Joleanna announced,
