Chapter 420 A Cruel Strategy
Marcus‘ POV
+B Pearls
A father and son should be bound by an unbreakable chain of succession, but his coldness felt like a reminder that my authority as the old Alpha was wobbling.
I slammed the table. “How dare you! If Leslie will appear with you on shows, that means you have a chance! If you won’t look at other women, then marry her again!”
Ambition surged in me. I had once given up on a political marriage with the Rogue Pack because that she–wolf was too strong–willed. But now her ambiguous behavior showed an opening.

Kirby stared for a few seconds, then gave a mirthless laugh. “Oh? And what necessary measures do you propose?”
