Chapter 429 The Bitter Truth

Leslie’s POV

In an instant, the air in the office froze, heavy and still.

I looked at her calmly, without a word.

Asphodel seethed. That bitch dares to compare herself to you, as if everyone’s the same rotten trash she

is?

I was about to cross the room and slap her.

Lucas went pale with fright and rushed to smooth things over. “Leslie, don’t be angry. She’s spoiled and willful I’ll teach her a lesson.”

—

The Frost Pack Luna let out a cold snort and strode forward, her cedar scent sharp despite her fatigue, like a mother wolf worn out from guarding her den. “Enough of the false courtesy, Sofie. Compared to Leslie, do you think you’re even worthy?

You ungrateful wretches dare to pressure Frost Pack and still have the face to stir up a scene?

You’re a century older than Eric

–

go find someone your own age. Your daughter can’t get

married, so you shove her at my son?”

At last she couldn’t hold it in and spat the words with force.

She looked thinner than before, probably worn down from sleepless nights over all this.

Sofie’s face flushed red, then white, twisted in humiliation.

The Luna’s words were harsh, dripping with disdain.

Lucas couldn’t hold his composure either. He shot Eric and his mother a resentful glare, then forced a stiff smile and dragged Sofie out of the office.

He could try to coerce Eric in private, but he wouldn’t dare make a scene in front of me. When the door shut, that acrid stench finally dissipated, and the office cleared to its usual crispness.

The Frost Pack Luna spat bitterly, then her eyes reddened.

She looked at me and stepped closer. “Good child, thank you for today. You and Eric…”

Her voice was low, trembling slightly, tinged with regret for her earlier warnings.

Back then she had criticized me for my divorce and told me to stay away from her son.

Chapter 429 The Bitter Truth

* PERTIS

I smiled faintly. I’ve always held grudges, and her words still echoed like claws raking an old

scar.

Now she wanted to push me toward Eric?

My tone was cool, my manner detached. “Luna, you’re too kind. My father always said he and the old Frost Alpha were close. Eric and I grew up together. If I can help, I should.”

It wasn’t because of any feelings. She’d better not misunderstand.

Her past disdain, and now her plea – she deserved to taste the Rogue Pack’s cold pride.

The Luna heard the distance in my words. She forced an awkward smile, sighed with disappointment, and let it go. She turned and left, her steps weary.

Eric hadn’t noticed the undercurrent between me and his mother. He just pulled me into a chair. “Good thing you came. Lucas actually dared accuse me of fabricating scandals to put pressure on him. So what if he figured it out?”

I smiled lightly. “Don’t relax. Keep digging.”

Eric’s icy eyes flickered. “Don’t worry. I’ve already sent people. His way of doing things is never discreet we’ll dig something up soon. The moment he slips, we’ll kick him out of the council.”

–

He already had a plan. That reassured me.
