Wanda was furious.
She didn’t believe Adide was ying dumb.

And Prisci, acting the fool, hadn’t made things difficult for Adide after she joined the ckthorn Pack. Instead, she’d teamed up with her to demand money.
Previously, Prisci had imed to despise Adide, but there was no sign of it now.
Just now, the two of them were cuddling together–anyone unaware would have thought they were mother and daughter.
As Madison spoke, “Prisci,e with me. I need to talk to you privately,” she realized Madison was trying to create a rift between them.
Adide was a relentless hound, fixated on Wanda over the wolf–head statue incident. There was no way she’d negotiate peacefully.
“Oh,” Prisci started to rise but was held back by Adide.
She froze, meeting the cold gaze of her son’s mate, and sat back down.
Adide tightened her grip on Prisci and said with a smile, “Let’s talk here. We have no secrets.”
Madison sneered, “Who’s in charge of the ckthorn Pack now? Prisci, you told me it was under your control. Why are you deferring to Adide now? If the full moon priestess finds out, she’ll mock you endlessly.”
Prisci’s face contorted–Madison had struck a nerve.
Madison knew exactly how to manipte her: Prisci detested the full moon priestess and couldn’t bear to be ridiculed by her.
Adide stayed silent, observing Prisci to see if she had a mind of her own.
If Madison could sway her with a few words, Adide wouldn’t bother–after all, it wasn’t her money on the line.
“Let those who can lead take charge,” Prisci forced a smile, “Let the full moon priestessugh. At least I can leave the pce and live in my son’s pack. She’s still suffering in the pce.”
Adide approved–Prisci hadn’t disappointed her.
Though her words were reluctant, she hadn’t fallen for the provocation.
Madison, seeing her ploy fail, warned, “Power to the capable is fine, but I recall you criticizing Adide for her second mating, saying she wasn’t worthy of Lance. Yet here you are, bowing to her after just a few days. Prisci, I worry you’ll be manipted by her in the ckthorn Pack.”

Adide finally spoke coldly, “Enough. We’ll proceed as nned. Excuse us.”
“Hold it!” Madison barked. “Adide, don’t push your luck.”

Adide had had enough. “What face do I want? I just want our money! I’ve been polite, but since you’re forcing the issue, I’ll y dirty too!”
“The Golden Jewelry Store wasn’t embezzled by Johnson–it’s been a front for your family to exploit Prisci! You’ve treated her like a cash cow and a fool! Johnson’s confessed everything.”
“All these years, Prisci couldn’t leave the pce, so you acted with impunity. Once she left, you even showed her portraits to the store staff, using her image to attract customers!”
“Nonsense!” Madison scoffed, “You’d believe a thief over us?”
“I’d rather trust him than you two. I came here civilly to settle ounts, return shares, and keep things quiet. But if you’re hell–bent on a fight, I won’t back down!”
“Let me tell you, from the moment you gifted the ‘Eternal Night Lone Wolf‘ silver wolf statue to my mother, I’ve had it in for you! Don’t think your seniority intimidates me. We have a score to settle, and for that, I’ll never forgive you!”
Madison’s face drained of color. She trembled with rage, her eyes zing with fury.
Wanda screeched, “How dare you insult my mother? She’s a princess! I’ll take you to the Royal Court!”
Adide mmed the table and snapped, “Go ahead! Expose everything, including Madison Manor’s dirty little secrets!”
Madison paled. “What are you implying? There are no secrets at Madison Manor!”
Adide retorted, “Oh? Then why not visit the west tower?”
“sphemy!” Madison was terrified and furious.
How did she know about the west tower?
Adide swung her whip, splitting the oak table in two.
Her roar was deafening: “Did you cooperate when I was polite? Return every cent now! Whoever wants the store can have it, but don’t tarnish Prisci’s reputation with it!”
Madison Manor’s wolf guards rushed in to shield Madison.
“You dare!” Madison shrilled, staring at the shattered table. “Adide, do you think I can’t touch you?”
“Yes,” Adide said coldly, “You can’t touch me, but I can touch you! Your hands are dirty, and I hold all the cards! Think those secrets are hidden? If you don’t return the money tonight, the judiciary will search you, and I’ll use you of harming…”
Madison screamed, “Give her the check!”
Prisci gasped–goodness, Adide had such nerve!

She actually stood up to Madison and won!
What secrets could the west tower hold, to unnerve the usually poised Madison…
