Could it be that Lycan Erasmus was trying to create discord between her and Lance by appointing her asmander?
But Adide pushed the thought aside. There was no point in worrying about something that hadn’t happened yet.
As her mentor Irene once said, “When you get to the mountain, you’ll find a way. When the boat reaches the bridge, it’ll cross naturally.” If conflicts arose, they could be resolved throughmunication.
Looking at Fabian, Adide said, “Your reminder is enough. I know what to do. No need for more words; I understand.”
Fabian sighed inwardly. What a smart and practical young girl.
She could have asked more questions but held back, aware of her delicate position.
Yet, did she truly grasp the deeper implications?
With clear eyes, Adide added, “Don’t worry, Fabian. I’ll bnce my duties and my rtionship with Lance. I won’t let other matterse between us.”
Hearing this, Fabian felt relieved. She truly understood it all.
He stood up. “I can’t say more. Just ry today’s conversation to Alpha Lance.”
“Of course. Thank you,” Adide promised. <fna885> Th? link to the orig?n of this information r?sts ?n Find[?]ovel</fna885>
Fabian nodded gently. “Then my task is done. I’ll take my leave.”
“I’ll see you out.”
Adide apanied Fabian out of the lounge.

The Royal Guard was already waiting outside, having been arranged by Caldwell during the family reunion.
Madison’s manor was in chaos.
All the managers, including Madison, were taken away. The servants were temporarily housed within the manor, guarded by the Ministry of Justice.
After the Capital Guard and Royal Patrol withdrew, the case was handed over to the Ministry of Justice.
Deputy Minister Dennis and his team were helping the rescued women. They were allowed to inform their families and told that once the case was settled, funds from the manor’s assets would be used topensate them and the servants.
Aireanna, whose home was in the capital, was permitted to return home, escorted by Ramona.
Ramona was still in shock. She hadn’t expected the operation to happen today.
Ramona had been certain the operation was set for October 15th, but Adide had kept the exact date from her.
This made Ramona somewhat angry. She felt Adide didn’t trust her.
After all, she had disclosed everything to Adide and even brought her father, Hunt, in to assist.
Yet, Adide still withheld key details of the n.
On the ride home, Aireanna revealed, “Your father never intended to truly cooperate with Luna Adide. He even told Madison about your original n for October 15th. If they hadn’t changed the date, the operation would have failed.”
Ramona was stunned. “Did he betray me? Doesn’t he know that could have killed
me?”
Tears streamed down Aireanna’s face as she leaned on her daughter. “To him, you’re just a tool, no different than Madison.”

“But he said he loved you the most,” Ramona protested, her own tears flowing.
“He also said that as long as he could get you out of there, he would do anything.”
“Men’s words are cheap. Believe them at your peril,” Aireanna warned, her voice heavy with suppressed anger.
Bitter resentmentced Aireanna’s words. “He did notice me once for my looks, but deep love? That’s a joke. All that fake emotions was just for Madison’s benefit, to make her think she had something on him.”
“But his real weakness has always been the Spectrehowl Pack. He visited me in that basement again and again, making sure Madison saw it all.”
“He wanted Madison to believe that by controlling us three, she could control him. And through that, he thought he could control you and Wilorina.”
Aireanna coughed, her pale cheeks flushed with anger. “If he’d truly cared about you girls at all, he’d never have betrayed your ns to her. If he thought it was risky, he could have persuade you to quit—not agreed to help and then sold you
out.”
Ramona hugged Aireanna tightly. Her trust in her father was shattered, leaving her heartbroken and furious.
