Chapter 1113 Back Up
Lucy's POV:
Sure enough, it was Adela.
I could see the imprint of my hand on her face as she sat enraged at the table, ready with another cup in her hand to throw across the room. "Adela, do you want to end our alliance?”
I glared at her until she placed the cup back on the tray. She was so furious that she clenched her jaw and her face flushed, making her look a little malevolent.
"You humiliated me today!"
I rolled my eyes and ignored her.
I put down Firman and said, "Baby, go to your room and read a book. I need to talk to Adela.” Chviously, Firman was terrified. His face had no color and he didn't want to let go of my hand. I was fuming. This was all Adela's fault. She frightened my baby!
Firman was still in the room, so I had to restrain my temper. Swallowing my anger for the moment, I gathered my child in my arms again. "Then let me carry you to your room and prepare some cake for you, okay?"
Firman wrapped his arms around my neck tightly and nodded. "Okay."
After comforting him, I returned to the living rcom and glowered at Adela with a sullen expression.
"What do you want?"
This idiot almost injured my son just now. If it weren't for the fact that she was still useful, I would have killed her already by now.
Adela shed her weak fagade and sprung to her feet angrily. She shouted, "Don't pretend to be unaware! How could you help Crystal humiliate me in front of so many people? Have you forgotten which side you are on?"
As Adela complained, she turned her battered face in my direction. She was so close to me.
I almost laughed in anger. Damn it! What a fool!
I pushed her away from me in disgust and curled my lips up in disdain; “Do you have any idea who you re-messing with? I saved you. Not.only were you not gratefal, but youre still creating trouble here.”
Adela gritted her teeth and said with a ferocious look, "She's just an Alpha. As the future queen, why would I be afraid of her?"
I was at a loss for words. I deeply regretted asking her to participate in my plan. What had this fool grown up on? Why was she such a moron?This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
I inhaled deeply and tried my best to push my-anger away. "You are nat the queen. You're only the daughter of the:A pha of a small pack. Anyone heres more powerful than you. Yat re nothing." -
Adela's expression told me that I had hit a nerve. She immediately burst into tears. "I will become the queen! Soaner or later, I will get that position!"
"Let's wait until you actually become the queen,” I scoffed, not taking her tantrum seriously.
Her face darkeped. She took several rapid breaths-to calm herself down. After a while, she continued, "I just ~ made sce inquiries. Beryl isn't oo Rufus-child. He had just saved-er and she lost her memory. And Crystal is only a widow with two children.”
"What do you mean? Crystal has another child?" I quickly caught the most important point of Adela's rant and I was astonished
Adela didn't catch on to my surprise. She pouted and said, "Yes. She also has a son. It is said that they're boy-girl twins."
I was so shocked that my facial muscles twisted for a moment.
Adela finally seemed to have sensed something off. She frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Is something the problem?"
I took a deep breath, met Adela's eyes, and enunciated every word as I said, "Crystal is Rufus ' former mate. Those children must be his."
No wonder the servant had reported to me that Laura takes very good care of Beryl. Perhaps she already knew that Beryl was her granddaughter. As this thought crossed my mind, I was struck with another guess. I wondered if Laura had helped Crystal fake her death five years ago.
Not everyone could gain the post of Alpha after all. Maybe Laura had a hand in arranging it.
If that was the case, Adela would never make it. Crystal had two children—Rufus' children, who were her biggest bargaining chips. Laura would certainly take her side.
