Johanna decided to deal with the Fuller family and Felicia.
She pulled out her phone and searched her contacts. It was from a group of friends she and Archie had met during their rough days in society.
At first, Archie was a small-time lackey in this group. However, after he got involved with the young lady from the Russell family, the group turned into his subordinates.
His death hadn't been announced, and even if it had, these low-level thugs wouldn't have been able to touch anything related to the Russell family.
Now, this group of people could come in handy.
She dialed the number, and it was quickly answered.
The noise on the other end suggested they were in a loud place, likely a bar. They seemed quite surprised to receive a call from her.
"Ms. Rosario! Hey, long time no see! How have you been? Where's Mr. Rosario? When are we going out for a drink?"
They had such wishful thinking.
Her face showed clear disdain.
This group had once bullied her and Archie, treating them like dogs. Only after his rise in status did these people start fawning over him, eager to become his lackeys and calling her "Ms. Rosario" and Archie "Mr. Rosario".
She had long stopped contacting these losers. She had once considered deleting their numbers, but Archie had insisted that there were some dirty jobs these people would have to handle.
He treated it as keeping a few lackeys—give them some money, and that would suffice.
Now, they could come in handy.
Johanna spoke with a condescending tone. "Archie's busy. Unlike you lot, who have nothing better to do than run around doing small-time, petty thefts in alleyways."
"You're right, Ms. Rosario. We're just a bunch of small fry. How can we compare to Mr. Rosario? He's the one who managed to win the heart of the young lady from the Russell family!"
"Enough. Stop talking nonsense. I called you because I need something done, and if you do it well, you won't have to worry about Archie taking care of you."
