Chapter 120 The Real Power y
Leslie’s POV
Vera clearly had no idea who she was dealing with when it came to Michael.

She’d thought that since they were both big names in the entertainment industry, Michael would give her some face. But judging by the look on his face now, she couldn’t have been more wrong.
She forced herself to keep herposure. “Michael, I came here to talk business.”
She deliberately emphasized the word “business,” as if trying to recover a shred of authority.
Michael wasn’t having it. His tone was blunt and impatient. “You’re in no position to talk business. And we don’t have time to babysit nobodies. Annie, call security and have her escorted out.”
“Yes, sir.”
The receptionist responded immediately, her movements sharp and efficient.
Michael turned back to me with a confident smile. “Don’t worry, Miss Leslie. You’re absolutely safe here.<b>” </b>
I gave a small nod. Vera’s threats didn’t even make me flinch.
Gang rape? Please. The girl really had guts saying something that bold.
Michael and I stepped into the elevator together, the atmosphere noticeably lighter.
I pulled out my phone and sent him a voice recording–it was something I’d secretly captured earlier at the entrance when Vera ran her mouth.
She probably never imagined I’d be one step ahead of her.
“This should clear Lorde’s name.”
I kept my tone even. I wasn’t about to let that girl’s wild usations drag someone innocent through the mud.
Michael listened to the clip, and a slow grin crept onto his face. He teased, “Miss Leslie, you’re a real strategist<b>, </b>aren’t you…”
I shot him a look. “I’ve already instructed a full acquisition of Greyhound Pack. The shareholder meeting will announce control transfer this afternoon. You good on your
end?<b>” </b>

He instantly dropped the joking tone, face turning serious. “Of course. What Miss Leslie wants is what Aurora Entertainment wants.”
His answer was firm and absolute.
I was pleased with his cooperation.
I smiled slightly and added, “Once the takeover is done, you’re going to have your hands full.”
Michael caught on immediately–he knew I was handing him Greyhound Pack to manage.
He couldn’t hide the grin spreading across his face. Clearly, he was more than happy to take on the ‘burden.’
“Well, I guess I’ll just have to work a little harder then. Gotta keep up while I’m still young…”
He tried to sound lighthearted.
I couldn’t help rolling my eyes. The man was pushing forty and still dared to call himself young?
After we wrapped up the conversation about the acquisition, I suddenly thought of someone and brought him up.
“How’s Lorde doing?” It’s tough for a neer to get caught in a scandal like that right out of the gate.
“He’s alright. His team was pretty shaken though. They tried to plead with Greyhound and got thrown out–his manager was scared out of his mind.”
Michael chuckled. “But now that you’re involved, Miss Leslie, it’s all under control.”
I raised an eyebrow. “Good. Make sure he gets extra support. He only got dragged into this mess because of me.”
“Don’t worry. Who would dare mess with Miss Leslie’s man?”
“Shut up.”
I red at him. Seriously, people who hang out with Carl never manage to speak properly for more than two sentences.
With business settled, I left in my heels without looking back. If I stayed any longer, I might just punch someone.
Less than ten minutester, before Vera could even make it back to report to her daddy at Greyhound Pack, that voice recording was already trending as the number one topic on the

And the public wasn’t just interested–they were outraged.
Every corner of the online world started digging into Vera.

Turned out she’d been suspended in high school for bullying an Omega in her pack and was sent abroad to “reflect” for a year.
Aftering back, she developed a crush on Kirby and got rejected. That’s when she went in for stic surgery–there wasn’t a single natural feature left on her face.
And the second she heard Kirby broke off his marriage contract, she raced back to try her luck again…
But what people loved most was thest part of that voice recording:
“Miss Vera, is this because of Kirby? I don’t pick up what I’ve thrown away. You should go tell him to stop showing up in front of me. You want to cklist Lorde? I’ll make him a star. I just want you to know who actually calls the shots here.”
Within minutes, thement section exploded.
“Oh my god, the confidence! That’s it, my new life goal is to be Queen Leslie.”
“She’s literally a winner at life. An Alpha queen sitting on a trillion–dor pack fortune–like she cares about an ex–husband? She’s got that fresh Beta baby–faced actor now, isn’t he dreamy?”
“Thank you, Queen, for loving the young ones. Thank you for saving our baby boy Lorde!”
The only downside <i>to </i>the entire scandal?
Itpletely cemented the rumor that I, Leslie of Rogue Pack, had a thing for younger men.
