Chapter 6
After the truth came out, everything shifted. The guests who had once mocked and belittled me now plastered fake smiles on their faces, their expressions dripping with insincerity.
“Elena–no, no, Beta Elena! I always knew you were a rare gem. The way you’ve handled Silverfang Pack’s business is truly exceptional; you’re a born leader. The great bloodline of the Alpha produces greatness, and the honor of the Alpha family is never wrong!”
“Beta Elena, I’ll never forget the kindness you’ve shown to my company. I’ve stayed quiet all this time, just to support you and what’s to come.”

“This was all just a misunderstanding, Beta Elena. Your generosity and broad heart are unmatched. Please, don’t hold this against us. We still hope to work with you in the future.”
The once–fake smiles now seemed hollow and meaningless to me. I snapped my fingers sharply, breaking the oppressive silence. “Quiet. Don’t interrupt my performance.”
Ever since Ethan had betrayed our bond, trying to strip me of my rights and even cast me aside, I’d been waiting for this moment- the moment when the truth would finally be revealed.
“Mom, Dad, even if Elena is your biological daughter, after everything we’ve been

through, are you really going to abandon me for her?” Ethan couldn’t accept reality. His once–arrogant face had shattered completely. Now, he clung desperately to my parents‘ hands, his eyes filled with a mix of hopelessness and defiance.
After a long silence, my parents gently but firmly pulled their hands away. “It’s precisely because we’ve spent so many years together that we gave you a chance. But you never valued it.”
“Elena is loyal and kind, and you, Ethan, have truly disappointed us. All of this is the result of one mistake. Now, it’s time to make things right. From this moment on, you are no longer our son.”
Ethan never expected the parents who had once doted on him to speak with such coldness and resolve.

He couldn’t take the blow. Stumbling backward, he collided with Olivia.
Ethan, like a drowning man grasping for a lifeline, clung to her desperately, his eyes filled with a glimmer of hope.
“At least I still have you, Olivia. When will you marry me? Our pup needs a place to call home.”
Olivia’s face twisted in disgust. Unlike my parents, who still showed some semblance of kindness, she shoved Ethan’s hand away sharply, decisively.
“Ethan, I’ve been playing you the whole time! As for the bastard in my belly, I’ll deal with it. I, Olivia, only want to marry into a powerful and respected family. You? You’re not
worthy.”

She hesitated for a moment, then forced a smile at me.
“Elena, in business, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. I hope the Grey family and the Rivers family can work together in the future. Here’s my business card-”
She handed me the card with fake politeness. I took it, glanced at it briefly, then tossed it to the floor and stepped on it.
“You!” Olivia’s face twisted in humiliation.
“What? Can’t take it anymore? Don’t think I don’t know. Your family’s business is falling apart in the Nightfall Pack, and you want to use Silverfang Pack’s partnership to survive. Well, you’re right–business is all about profit. And right now, it’s the perfect time

for us to strike, to swallow up your family’s business.”
Olivia’s face froze in shock. Seeing my confident smile and my father’s unwavering support, she finally realized I wasn’t joking. Fear began to seep into her heart.
But she clearly hadn’t given up yet.
“Don’t do this, Elena. I’m doing this for your own good! Ethan is nothing but a scumbag. If you stay with him, you’ll regret it sooner or later. I’ve tested him for you; consider it a stroke of luck. Now that you’ve dumped him, there are plenty of better mates waiting for you. Don’t you think?”
Ethan was shocked and furious, staring at Olivia in disbelief.
