Third Person POV

Jolene finished her cigarette outside the restaurant and then walked back in.

By the time she came back to the table, Aria and Alpha Grayson were already gone.

The other customers kept giving her strange looks, and the guards seemed to want her to leave with them immediately, but Jolene didn’t give a damn about anyone else’s opinion. She ordered the restaurant’s signature steak and asked for the most expensive wine. She took her sweet time and enjoyed everything leisurely before finally getting up to leave.

“Put it on Alpha Grayson’s tab,” she told the waiter with a satisfied smile.

Then she left the restaurant and ordered the guards to escort her back to the hotel.

Just as she was about to get into the car, her phone rang. Glancing at the caller ID, she immediately stopped.

“Wait for me here,” she commanded the guards.

She walked aside, glanced back to make sure no one could hear her, and then answered the phone in a hushed, respectful tone:

“…Yes? Lady Isla?”

“Hello, Jolene.”

Isla’s voice came through the line. “How is everything going? Aria Collins didn’t ask too many questions about your identity, did she?”

“I can tell she was definitely suspicious at first. But as you instructed, I prepared a fake sample for the DNA test in advance. Once the paternity report came back, she had to believe it,” Jolene said. After a pause, she added with a smile, “Besides, the setup with Laura was so brilliant that the little bitch surely has no doubts left after today.”

“The setup with Laura was my father’s idea. He thought Aria needed a third–party witness to confirm your identity. And it worked, as expected,” Isla giggled.

That’s right.

This “Jolene” was a woman sent by Isla to impersonate Aria Collins’s mother.

Even the saleswoman Laura, who seemed to have a history with Jolene, was also one of their people.

They knew a paternity report alone might not completely erase Aria’s doubts. So they deliberately set up a person named Laura and led Aria to that store today to put on a show in front of her.

So firmly convinced by the horrible relationship between Laura and Jolene, Aria bought into everything Laura said. Because she thought Laura would have no reason to cover for Jolene.

Yet what Aria didn’t expect was that every person was a pawn on the chessboard. And she had been completely played.

“Now that your identity is confirmed, you can start doing your job,” Isla said in a satisfactory tone. “Tell me about your progress. How far have you gone?”

“It’s been a very productive day, my lady. Just now during dinner, I asked Grayson Hart to marry Aria. He seemed enraged,” Jolene reported.

Isla giggled on the other end of the line, sounding thrilled. “How exactly was he enraged? Tell me everything.

“Well, after I said what I wanted, he refused to even make eye contact with that little tramp. Then she almost burst into tears in front of him, and he was completely indifferent. In the end, Grayson left the restaurant first, leaving her behind.”

“Great…that’s fantastic!” Isla laughed out loud. Then she said through gritted teeth, “Finally… Finally it’s time. for that bitch to get a taste of this. Just wait, Aria Collins…..He will only grow to despise you more. And in the end he’ll toss you away like a piece of trash.”

“So I should carry on with our current plan?” Jolene asked.

“Absolutely,” Isla said without hesitation. “Keep forcing Grayson to marry her. It will only backfire. The harder you press, the more he’ll resent her. He was deeply hurt after our marriage. Right now, marriage and being controlled are the two things he hates most in the world. Let’s play into that.”

“No problem, my lady. And it seems Grayson Hart suspects that Aria and I planned this marriage thing together.”

“Good, you can use that too. Make him think Aria is a scheming bitch,” Isla said with a hint of smile. “Keep driving a wedge between them. Split them up for good. You will definitely be rewarded when you succeed.”

“Of course,” Jolene said respectfully, leaning forward slightly even though Isla couldn’t see her. “It is my greatest honor to serve you and Alpha Vladimir. I also wish you the best of luck in the upcoming trial.”

“Oh, it will go smoothly for sure,” Isla said giggling. “I will clear my name at the trial and come back to Grayson’s side as his Luna. Nothing can separate us this time.”

“We all look forward to that day, my lady.”

After hanging up her phone, Jolene got into the car and returned to the hotel.

When she arrived at the top–floor suite, she ran into Aria standing by the door alone, looking lost. The young girl’s face was still covered in tears.

Jolene felt a surge of joy inside, but she put on a concerned look and came closer to her. “What’s going on sweetheart? Why are you standing out here alone? And where is Alpha Grayson?”

Aria turned her head slowly, giving her a gaze that was both icy and full of disgust. Of course Aria would hate her. Especially after what she did today. But Jolene didn’t care. Her “mother” identity was the ultimate safeguard. Aria could no longer push her out of her life.

“He’s gone. Are you happy now?” Aria said through clenched teeth, giving a rough wipe of her face.

“Gone?” Jolene faked a shock look. She peeked into the room. Yeah that’s true. Half of their luggage was gone.
