Chapter 33
I hung my head down and remained silent. I clutched the blanket, feeling bitter in my heart.
What was I really expecting? Charlotte couldn’t wait to see me in trouble, and Alexander wanted to teach me a lesson in disobedience. They both made
They were truly a perfect match. Charlotte should be Alexander’s fated mate, not me.
Gracie parted my shoulder and said, “Take a good rest. I’ll go back to the office to conduct an investigation. Il reach out to
you if
if there’s any updates.”
With the sound of the door closing, the room fell into complete silence. I gazed at the white wall ahead with a pale face, as if all my vitality had been utterly sapped.
How could I, being so weak, possibly turn everything around?
I wasn’t sure how long had passed when a reprimanding voice came from outside the door. I managed to get up and walked to the door. Before I opened it, I heard Xander’s muthoritative voice.
“You idiot! I entrusted you with just one task, and you ruined it!”
Through the glass, I saw Ryan and Monica, who were opposite to Xander, with pale faces. Monica trembled and said, “Xander, I really didn’t know that Mr. Jimenez would do such a thing. Ava was just acting in self–defense.”
“Shut up! Why are you pretending to be so innocent now? Don’t you know what she has done? You wanted to collaborate with Leopold and sent your daughter to him just to fawn on him. He must think that Ava wanted to sleep with him. If Ava had any dignity, why did she agree to have dinner and watch a movie with him?”
Xander stood with his hands behind his back, glaring at Monics. Monica flinched, biting back tears, and dared not speak.
Ryan defended, Dad, Monica just considered that Mr. Jimenez came from a noble and rich family, so she wanted to introduce Ava to him. She didn’t know about his character. Who would have thought that an outwardly polite Warrior would force himself on women in the back?”
Xander was already seething with anger, and upon hearing Ryan’s absurd defense, his fury only intensified.
He raised his hand, wishing he could wake Ryan up, and angrily rebuked, “How could I have such a loser son like you? You fool! Being led around by the nose by a woman! If you had even half the wit of Alexander, today wouldn’t have unfolded this w
way!”
Ryan looked increasingly awkward. I let go of my hand holding the doorknob. Going out like this would only embarrass Ryan even more. Ryan had always been very kind to me.
I couldn’t bear to let him suffer.
At this moment, a cold and deep voice interrupted: A cold, solemn, and dark figure approached slowly. He looked composed and restrained. Alexander looked indifferent, and a hint of coldness could be seen in his eyes.
“Dad Leopold is fine now. It was pointless for you to scold Ryan”
“What else can I do? Now the Jimenez family demands an explanation. If this scandal spreads, it’ll disgrace the Windsor family. Ryan shouldn’t have bonded a human! She not only knows nothing abour werewolves, but there’s also a troublemaker who’s always up to seducing men!”
