Third Person’s POV
Prisci snapped, “What are you implying? Would Madison stoop to coveting your pink diamonds? They’re valuable, but her family has plenty. Besides, her familycks for nothing.”
Adide gave a dry chuckle, “Fine, we’ll see.”
Prisci seized the chance to rebuke her, saying sharply, “How dare you nder Madison like this? When we return to the ckthorn Pack, I’ll punish you severely.”
Adide rolled her eyes and ignored her, waiting to see who would end up embarrassed.
The carriage pulled up to Madison’s manor. After the werewolf guard announced their arrival<b>, </b>he returned with an apologetic look. “Prisci, Luna Adide, I apologize. I forgot that Madison has gone out today.”
Prisci said to Adide, “In that case, let’s head back. We’ll send a visit request first and return tomorrow.”
Adide asked the guard, “Do you know where Madison went and when she’ll be back?”
The guard replied, “I’m not sure. She might be backte.”
Adide said, “No problem. We’ll just wait.”
With that, she took Prisci’s hand and headed inside.
The guard shouted, “Prisci, Luna Adide, this is Madison’s home. You can’t just barge in like this.”
Adide smiled and said, “We’re here for a visit. Waiting in her home for her return isn’t barging in. Does your living room not entertain guests?<b>” </b>
The guard, aware of Adide’s strong personality, didn’t find her smile reassuring in the least.
While he was at a loss, Adide had already pulled Prisci inside.
Prisci struggled all the way, “Have you no manners? She’s not here. What are you waiting for inside? Till nightfall?”
“I’ll wait till tomorrow if needed,” Adide shot back with a sharp nce.
A sharp nce from Adide silenced them. “Prisci, Susan, I’m not leaving today without those diamonds,” she dered.
Prisci huffed, “You said I could have the diamonds. Once they’re mine, I’ll decide when to retrieve them.”
“Suit yourself,” Adide replied,/releasing Prisci’s wrist.
But Prisci couldn’t possibly leave her alone here.
Adide wasn’t an <b>easy </b>person to deal with. If she offended Madison on <b>Prisci’s </b><b>behalf</b>, it would <b>be </b>problematic.
Madison wasn’t someone to cross casily.
“Alright. I’ll wait here with you. Are you satisfied now?”
Prisci said curtly, striding inside while grumbling about how Madison wouldn’t appreciate being offended.
Adide truly didn’t understand what Prisci was thinking–was her brain made of oatmeal<b>? </b>
rissa must have had her hands full with her over the years. Adide felt exhausted just thinking about it on rissa’s behalf.
Once in the living room, they sat down. The omega servants didn’t dare to ck off.
Everyone in Madison’s family knew Prisci was easy to handle, but Adide, the new Alpha Lance’s mate<b>, </b>was a different story. She was the type who might actuallye to settle scores.
The omega served afternoon tea and sweets, with attendants on standby.
Adide nced around Madison’s living room. Marble floors,vish decor, exquisite chairs lined the walls, their delicate carvings gleaming.
A massivendscape painting dominated the wall opposite the entrance.
To the right of the living room was a pearl–curtained doorway leading to a side hall–a touch of opulence.
Everything showcased the Madison family’s wealth.
Indeed, such luxury must cost a fortune.
Just maintaining the staff would be expensive.
As a royal Lycan descendant, she could have five hundred wolf pack warriors. Her manor was built to match this scale.
Originally, this wasn’t permitted, but the former Lycan King never objected, and now Lycan Erasmus wouldn’t either.
Five hundred werewolf warriors meant expenses for their food, clothing, shelter, and transportation.
Moreover, she was the city’s most enthusiastic host<b>, </b>often holding banquets to solidify her connectic there.
Her guests were all wealthy and influential. Whether tea or meals, everything had to be exquisite.
If guests brought children, she would give them gifts. Over time, could her manor truly maintain such genuine wealth?
If she were truly so wealthy, she wouldn’t keep taking advantage of the naive Prisci.
After sitting for a while without touching the coffee or sweets, Adide suddenly stood up <b>and </b><b>said </b>she wanted to tour the manor.
Madison’s mansion frequently hosted balls, but only guests arranged in advance <b>could </b><b>freely </b><b>explore </b>
Such unannounced intrusions, especially venturing deeper into the house, were against the rules.
Certain areas of the mansion hid secrets that must not be uncovered.
As Alpha Lance’s mate, the werewolf guards didn’t dare stop her. If used of improper conduct, no one could bear the responsibility.
Ordinary servants couldn’t stop her either. She swiftly evaded their attempts to block her and strode toward the inner courtyard.
After several failed intercepts, as Adide approached a certain courtyard in the inner yard, someone shouted loudly, “Madison is back!”
