    Sylvia’s POV:


    When I arrived at my residence, I happened to see Rufus walk out of the room.


    He looked anxious. He probably thought I got kidnapped by Noreen again.


    “I saw you talking to the guests just now, so I went out to get some fresh air. I didn’t see you when I


    came back,” I said as I guiltily scratched my nose.


    I didn’t tell him that I had talked to Edwin because I rarely ever talked to that man. Telling Rufus the


    truth would only arouse his suspicion, especially when I came to Edwin all of a sudden. I didn’t want


    Rufus to go and talk to him as well. Edwin had always been respectful toward Rufus. Even though


    Edwin wasn’t aware of the curse, he might say something that might arouse Rufus ‘ suspicion.


    Rufus breathed a sigh of relief when I exined myself. He didn’t doubt my words. He just took me


    inside the room and told me the investigation results.


    “A hint of Noreen’s scent was found on Chet’s b*ody. At that same time, two witnesses saw Chet


    rushing inside Leonard’s room. If we’re not mistaken, Noreen probably controlled him.”


    “Hold on…” I furrowed my eyebrows. “There were witnesses?”


    Alina told me that no one saw what happened except for her. Where exactly did those witnessese


    from?


    Rufus nodded. “But the witnesses d*ied in an ident this morning.”


    I gasped. “They d*ied in an ident? Right after giving their testimony?”


    If Noreen was the one behind this, she wouldn’t go as far as to conceal the truth by K*lling the


    witnesses. After all, a daggerced with her scent had already given her away. “I think there’s someone


    else behind it. Leonard’s death probably isn’t entirely attributed to Noreen.” Rufus frowned.


    I couldn’t figure it out. Noreen probably K*lled Leonard because of what happened that year. My


    mother’s choice to be with Leonard made Noreen feel betrayed, so it only made sense that she would


    take revenge on Leonard.


    Who else would want to hurt him?


    Edwin and Owen wouldn’t do something like that. I highly doubted that Warren and Flora would do that


    either. Was it Alina?


    But how could that be possible? No matter how selfish and vicious she was, I knew she didn’t have it in


    her to K*ll her own father. Not to mention, Leonard said that he and Alina didn’t have any problems with


    each other anymore. That their rtionship was getting strong.


    I mentally shook that thought away. I didn’t want to overthink things too much.


    “Do you think the culprit is one of Leonard’s confidants?” I asked Rufus.


    “Probably, but we can’t just assume things. We need to investigate further.” Rufus sighed as he went to


    the bar counter to get me a ssof juice.


    As I drank the juice, I was lost in thought. In my mind, I ran through the list of people who were close to


    Leonard, but none of them seemed to have the motive tomit the crime.


    “I’ve thought about it for a long time now. I really can’t figure out who else would harm Leonard aside


    from Noreen. I don’t know why they would harm him either. Leonard was such a good person.” I


    anxiously bit my lip. I was depressed, and really frustrated.


    I’d have no reason to stay in this pack anymore after the funeral. I needed to find another opportunity to


    come back if I wanted to further investigate Leonard’s death.


    Rufus ced a hand on my head and stroked my hair in an attempt tofort me. “Don’t worry. I’ll look


    into it. I won’t give up until I find the culprit—just like how I investigated your mother’s case.”


    “Thank you,” I said as I looked at Rufus, teary-eyed. I reached out for his hand and pressed it against


    my cheek. “What about Chet?”


    “Chet is a victim too. I ordered my subordinates to send his corpse back to his pack. His and Alina’s


    wedding is canceled now,” Rufus briefly stated. I nodded in response, and we went silent for a moment.


    His eyes seemed to widen a bit when he suddenly remembered something. “Speaking of which, you


    should stay here for a few more days.”


    I gave him a bewildered look. “Why? Is there anything else I need to do here?”


    “Well, Alina is going to hold the Alpha Ceremony to take over the position as the new Alpha next


    month. Do you want to stay and attend the ceremony?” He asked.
