Chapter 210 Drawing A Clear Line
Warren's POV:
Alina pounced on my hand, but she was too slow.
I raised the ring up high with one hand and shoved Alina away with the other.
"I found it when I went back to the scene of the sneak attack," I explained calmly.
Alina only came up to my shoulders in terms of height. As long as I held my hand up high, she couldn't reach the ring, no matter how hard she tried.
Irked, Alina glared at me. "Warren!"
I sneered. "Are you panicking now? Alpha Leonard gave you this ring as a gift. Your name is engraved on it, so you can't deny it anymore."
Alina couldn't wrestle the ring from me and settled for throwing a punch at me angrily. Unfortunately for her, I dodged her attack and slipped the ring back into my pocket.
"Just admit it, Alina. The evidence is conclusive and irrefutable. All your excuses are invalid," I added to drive the point home.
Alina's eyes turned red. She clenched her fists as helplessness overtook her. "So what if I did it? I didn't do anything wrong!"
"Don't you feel guilty at all? Even if you don't feel sorry for Sylvia, don't you feel even just a little sorry for me?"
I couldn't hide my disappointment. She wasn't the Alina I knew. It was as though she had completely changed into another person. Or maybe I never really knew her. The gentle and
considerate princess of the past could've just been her pretense. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
"I did it because you like Sylvia! I'm doing this to help you!" Alina suddenly lost control of herself and started shouting at me. "You have feelings for her. But you're so pathetic, you've never even tried to go after her. How would she know that you like her if you don't show her? I helped you out of the goodness of my heart, yet you have the balls to blame me! Or, do you never mean it when you talk about love? Have you been lying all this time? That was pathetic!"
Apparently, Alina was implying something else. Before I could carefully think about what she said, my anger got the best of me. "You've gone too far, Alina! You don't have a clue about me! I will fight for my love myself. I don't need your help! You shouldn't have resorted to such dirty means. A forced relationship never lasts, and..."
My voice trailed off. I paused for a moment and Flora's figure suddenly appeared in my mind.
At this moment, my emotions were a mess. I couldn't figure out how I felt about Sylvia. After what happened between me and Flora, I knew I didn't deserve Sylvia anymore. And now, I felt very guilty towards Flora. If possible, I wanted to take responsibility for her and make things up to her.
But it was clear that Flora had been avoiding me since that day. I couldn't find a chance to talk to her.
"You finally admitted it, Warren! So you're saying that our relationship isn't as important as that lowly she-wolf?" Alina's wrath interrupted my thoughts. Her eyes became redder and her expression darkened with rage. "I didn't think you really liked Sylvia! Have you forgotten what my father expects of you? As the son of a Beta, how dare you stoop down to a slave's level? What about the things you said to me before? What happened to your ambition? Where are your goals?"
This was my first time to see her so riled up, which made me feel a little confused. "It's my business whoever I like. It should have nothing to do with you, right? Even though we grew up together, you
like someone else now. We all have our own lives to live. As for my identity, that's not something I can change. But I will use it to my advantage and protect the people I care. My goals and ambition only give me a clear direction in life, not excuses to hurt others."
"Warren!" Alina's voice grew shrill and she pointed at me. "You've betrayed me!"
