A Female Alpha’s Revenge (Adelaide) novel Chapter 597

Chapter 597

Third Person’s POV

Adelaide knew what she was getting at and replied, “It’s hard to say. It depends on how Lycan Erasmus will view them. If he sees them as pawns who were used and as victims, then there won’t be much of an issue. But if he deems them as accomplices, then the situation becomes serious.”

Paisley added, “Based on the current evidence, the first possibility seems more likely. They were all coerced. Madison had control over their mothers and forced them to do things they didn’t want to do, threatening them with various punishments if they didn’t comply…… But we can’t be too certain, after all, this is a treason case. Everything will depend on Lycan Erasmus’s decision.”

“I understand. Thank you for informing me,” Christine said, deeply touched. She would keep this favor in mind.

Adelaide stood up and said, “We shouldn’t stay long. We’ll take our leave now.”

Christine got up to see them off, her expression returning to its usual composure.

Paisley admired this about her—she could always calmly manage her emotions.

As the two walked out of the parlor, they happened to see Gloria approaching, supported by Pansy.

Gloria’s expression flickered with surprise upon seeing them.

Then, she strode up to Christine indignantly and said, “Christine, what’s the meaning of this? You’ve told her about my business with Ulrik. Are you trying to embarrass me on purpose?”

Christine wearily massaged her forehead–Luna Cynthia was right, her daughter’s mind was indeed empty.

Adelaide gave Gloria a puzzled look—hadn’t Ulrik been promoted? What was there to be embarrassed about?

Fiona quickly stepped forward to support Gloria as well and said, “The doctor said you should avoid moving around too much. You should go back and rest. Christine will see Gamma Adelaide off. You don’t need to come out specially.”

The word “Gamma Adelaide” brought Gloria back to her senses.

She realized she had acted impulsively out of anger.

If Christine really wanted to gossip about her, she wouldn’t have been able to get Adelaide to come over.

Adelaide was likely here for the Madison treason case.

She suddenly felt extremely embarrassed and a bit anxious, nodded hastily at Adelaide, and then hurried away.

Adelaide and Paisley exchanged glances, both puzzled, “what was she up to now?”

Taking advantage of the moment when Christine was seeing them off, Paisley asked, “Why is she still here so late at night? Has she moved back?”

It wasn’t that Paisley was nosy. It was just that Gloria was too much trouble.

Moreover, her earlier impulsive behavior and mention of “something” with Ulrik clearly had something to do with Adelaide, which was why Paisley inquired further.

Christine didn’t want to talk about it, but everyone had heard about Gloria’s antics to some

extent.

“Ulrik had just been promoted and was at home recovering from an injury. If they could fight at a time like this, it must have something to do with Adelaide again,” Paisley’s expression soured.

Christine frowned, “Don’t cause any trouble. She’s just doing her job. Even if she came to ask questions, it’s just routine. If she really wanted to cause trouble, she wouldn’t have come at night, and she certainly would have come with the Capital Guard.”

“What did she ask, then?” Gloria wouldn’t let it go.

Christine said indifferently, “What she asked is none of your business. It has nothing to do with you. I see you’re well enough to move around at night now. Go back to Bloodmoon tomorrow.”

Gloria’s face fell into a mournful expression.

She had already been here for three days. Luna Cynthia had sent gifts to the Bloodmoon Pack.

But no one had come to pick her up.

Even if Ulrik couldn’t come himself, they could have sent someone.

Their lack of action made her return seem too humiliating. How could she maintain any respect in Bloodmoon if she went back like this?

But she couldn’t stay any longer. She didn’t want to continue the cold war with Ulrik; it was too painful.

Over these few days, she had come to terms with it—she was pregnant with Ulrik’s child and planned to build a life with him.

Moreover, he had been promoted to captain.

Although Adelaide was his superior, Lycan Erasmus’s personal werewolf guard used to report directly to Lycan Erasmus. She assumed things wouldn’t change much now.
