Greg only woke up when another knock on his door came. If that was
Livia again, he didn’t know if he could restrain his animal from
scratching her face and tearing out her organs. As he thought about
the endgame drawing near, he walked to the door and opened it.
To his relief, it was only the heiress, who invited him to have tea. Greg
yed dumb and asked, “What did I do? I left the toilet seat u p this
time.”
Kelissa rolled her eyes and said, “It''s just a grateful gesture for your
years of supporting our business, your Grace.” Liar. But not a bad one,
actually
“Fine.” Greg groaned. So much for wanting to stay in his room until
Lucianne came and break him out of this sh*thole. He still found it
hrious that the Kyltons gave him ess to Wi-Fi without considering
that he would use it to pinpoint their location Maybe it was because
they didn’t know that he could still mind-link without detection to send
out orders.
As Greg walked with the heiress, he muttered, “I''m impressed to see
you soposed after the news all over the inte, Kylton.”
That was definitely the right thing to say for someone who didn''t hear
the heiress''s mad scream. Kelissa''s rage showed again as she reyed
the news in her head. But instead of throwing a fit, she simply smirked
and said, “Well, I leam from the best.”N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.
Greg prayed that she didn’t mean him. He didn’t want this failure to be
his student. When they entered the tea room, the Lord and Lady
paused their discreet chatter and smiled at the Duke. Sasha and Livia
stopped their gossiping, too. Tanner looked like the most left out one
there.
“What the f*ck do these losers want?’, Greg thought as he retumed
everyone''s fake smiles.
After he was seated and given Earl Grey, Kelissa got to the point, “Well,
your Grace. You''ve read the news. It seems that our n has gone
down the drain, and things are..plicated now.”
“No, sh*t. Is that why I''m here? To whine andin with all of you?”
“No, your Grace.” Lord Kylton began before his daughter''s scowl made
him lean back for her to continue speaking.
The heiress turned back to the Duke with a less hostile gaze and
uttered, “We''re not here toin. We''re here to talk about what
could have gone wrong, and, if possible, to find a solution together.”
“Ah, that''s not so bad.” Greg leaned back into his seat and crossed his
legs before he asked despite already knowing the answer, “So, who''s
starting?”
Kelissa, as the leader, said, “I think I should go first. I propose that we
come up with a n B as soon as possible, and execute it with all
immediacy. The n we sent to the rogues took too long to execute.
Had we brought the n forward, the rogues would''ve gotten the work
done before the... infiltration...happened. We were hoping that you''d
have some form of connections to get the job done, your Grace.”
Livia then asked, “The n is to kill the wolf now, right?”
Greg''s hand supporting his chin balled into a tight fist, and he kept
picturing Lucianne in his head to restrain his growling animal that was
trying to push itself forward.
Kelissa nced at Greg before she showed her cousin a fake smile and
said, “Let''s leave death aside for now. We were hoping that you''d have
some kind of resources, your Grace. We could consider something
less—"
Livia butted in again, “I don''t get why death should be left aside. The
wolf is marked. The only way to get to your end goal now is to kill her.
Do you need her alive for some reason?”
The Duke thought this was a perfect time to start a front-row seat soap
opera, so he tumed to Kelissa and asked with a taunting smile, “Are you
going to tell her?”
Livia''s eyes widened when she asked, “Tell me what?”
Kelissa scowled at Greg but the Duke was not going to take back what
he just said. Livia repeated her question, louder and fiercer this time.
She earned a re from her uncle and aunt but she couldn''t care less.
Next to her, Sasha smirked when she caught on, and she said, “You
were promised the wolf, weren''t you, your Grace? That''s why the
heiress is also pinned on keeping her alive.”
Greg was impressed that, of all people, the dumb blonde got the
answer. “So, there is a brain in that head of yours, Cummings. Bravo.”
Livia''s eyes turned onyx, and her hard stare was on Kelissa when she
gritted her teeth and said, “You promised that he was MINE."
Kelissa was unperturbed as she responded, “If the circumstances
change, our ns have to change with it. The end goales first,
Livia.”
Livia scoffed darkly and added, “You think you can just overrule
everyone and sweep away what the rest of us were promised when we
decided to help you? You think you can make us fall in line and you
think you know everything? Well, let me tell you something you don''t
know: Sasha already bought Oleander from the rogue Alpha, saying
that it was to kill Seb when it is actually t o kill YOU after you tore the
wolf away from the King!”
“LIV!” Sasha eximed in shock at her secreting out from her
confidant''s mouth.
Greg muttered in amusement, “Ooo...plot twist.” Well, not for him since
he eavesdropped on everyone''s conversations in the house. 3
Kelissa hissed, “Shut up, your Grace! Just because my promise to you
remains intact, it doesn’t mean you have to unt it.”
Greg''s sharp hearing picked up something not far away from the other
side of the door but from the nk looks on everyone else''s faces, he
concluded that he was the only one who heard those sounds. So, he
yed dumb and responded to the fuming Kelissa,” unt? Heh!
Kylton, get real. You''ve already decided to kill Lucianne. And you
already backstabbed me when you sent the rogue to forcibly mark the
Qu-"
“Wolf.” Kelissa insisted, her eyes showing some onyx shades despite her
parents’ surprised looks when Greg mentioned things that were not
discussed with any advisor.
Greg raised his eyebrows at the heiress''s interruption, and reminded
himself that he was going to be there for only another few more
minutes at most. The Duke gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice, “If
you read the news properly, Kylton, you''d know that she is one of us
now. She''s a Lycan. She''s the Lycan Queen.” At that very moment, the
door fell off its hinges as it burst open.
