Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 368

In an instant, a look of hatred flashed in Johanna's eyes. Thinking of Archie's body being lost to the sea and torn apart, she could barely contain her fury, wishing she could capture the mastermind and make them pay with their life!

She trembled with anger, her eyes bloodshot, and tears instantly welled up and fell.

"Archie..."

Archie wasn't actually her biological brother.

The two had met in an orphanage. Both had no parents and shared the same misery, suffering together in that orphanage.

When they were 13, he had planned his escape from the orphanage, and she had clung to his sleeve, asking if she could come along.

He agreed.

From then on, they became siblings by choice, relying on each other for survival.

Archie gave her the name Johanna Rosario.

He had said, "Your name is Johanna Rosario. You don't know your last name, so I'll give you mine. From now on, I'll be your brother, and you can rely on me."

At that time, they had endured many hardships. They slept on the streets and rummaged through trash bins, and to survive, she would create distractions while he stole.

However, not every time did luck favor them. Sometimes, they got caught and were beaten badly.

Back then, Archie would drag her away and, with a bruised face, pull a croissant from his pocket, proudly saying, "Look, I still have one hidden!"

Later, Archie joined the Russell family and became a subordinate to Stephan.

But Stephan had too many subordinates, and Archie was always just an ordinary member, never standing out.

Archie saved Imogen from drowning by chance, and he caught her eye from that moment.

With her help, he gradually gained more recognition, becoming one of Stephan's trusted subordinates.
