“Then wine won’t you give me the seal? Are you afraid I’ll take it all for myself?=
<b>Archie </b>sighed theatrically, feigning disappointment. “Forget it. Since it belongs to the Russell family, I won’t touch it, then ”
Hearing this, Imogen panicked and hurriedly grabbed his hand, raising her voice. “Don’t say that! We’re husband and wife. <b>What’s </b>yours is mine, and what’s mine Is yours! 11 you want the seal, I’ll give it to you!”
With that, she <b>pointed </b>toward her vanity table and instructed. “In the third drawer, there’s a small button–shaped decoration. Turn it <b>once</b><b>, </b>and a hiddenpartment will <b>pop </b>out. The seal is inside ”

Forhim to purge the subordinates of the Russell family to assume control, he needed Pete’s assistance.

No longer needing <b>to </b>pretend, the two dropped all portense, speaking openly and brazenly<b>. </b>
