Chapter 96 Ipetence And Rage


    Alina''s POV:


    A whileter, Coco rushed in. "Miss Quinn! I found it out."


    Perhaps she was afraid of me that she paused for a moment and looked at me before continuing.


    "The dress wasn''t lent out; it was sold to someone. The buyer had once saved Naphtali Bancroft''s


    life, so the designer sold it to them. But they refused to tell me who the buyer was."


    The one who had bought the dress was undoubtedly an influential person. I remembered the


    comments on the ne, so I asked Coco to check who had bought the ne from


    CHRISTIE''S auction house.


    I had an answer in mind and was almost sure of it. However, I wanted to confirm everything before


    jumping to conclusions.


    As expected, it was Rufus.


    The answer drove me insane. I leaned against the sofa as I felt the anger bubbling inside me. I


    couldn''t figure out why Rufus had done that. He never replied to any of my messages or even


    bothered to look at me.


    I ran my fingers across my face. I was the most beautiful she-wolf in the empire. Countless men


    were attracted to me, but Rufus hadn''t bothered even to nce at me. His indifference seemed to


    rub my inted ego.


    I felt powerless and depressed.


    If I couldn''t win Rufus'' heart, I would eventually be an abandoned pawn of my father''s game of


    power. I fisted my hair and gritted my teeth to control my anger. I didn''t know how to make Rufus fall


    for me.


    A wave of humiliation consumed me. I cried out to vent my emotions. I didn''t know what to do.


    Momentster, I took a deep breath to calm down. When I looked up, I caught a glimpse of the


    trembling Coco. The timid, innocent look on her face reminded me of Sylvia.


    At that moment, I realized the woman in the photo looked quite familiar. I quickly took my phone to


    see the post. However, to my utter disappointment, the post was already deleted. I immediately


    asked Coco to check the IP address of the blogger. Although we couldn''t find the specific


    information, the result revealed someone in the military school had posted the picture, which


    seemed to intensify my doubts. I knew the bitch in the photo was Sylvia.


    It was almost Friday. Her leg wasn''t injured as I had nned; she was more brisk and ostentatious


    instead.


    I angrily sent Warren a few more messages, asking him if he had dealt with Sylvia or not.


    However, he hadn''t been responding to my texts or calls since yesterday. I only asked him to break


    Sylvia''s leg but couldn''t understand why it was taking him so long to do such a trivial task.

    Warren''s hesitation infuriated me. ''Is he also nning on betraying me?''


    Warren''s POV:


    My phone buzzed several times, but I didn''t bother checking it. I took a gulp of beer to ease off the


    frustration.


    Even without checking the phone, I knew the texts were from Alina. She had been texting me since


    yesterday, asking me if I had dealt with Sylvia. But I didn''t reply because I didn''t dare or want to.


    I couldn''t help butugh at myself because there had been a time when I was desperate to receive


    messages from Alina. But now, the same thing had be a nuisance. I didn''t want any messages


    from her.


    I didn''t know why Alina had be aggressive. She didn''t seem like the considerate, sweet girl I


    knew before. I sighed helplessly and gulped down the rest of the beer.


    It was ridiculous. I had thought my love for Alina was as firm as a rock, but the mere thought of her


    bored me now.


    I threw the bottle against the wall and saw it shatter into pieces.


    ''How could I be bored of Alina?'' I thought, holding my head in my hand. She was the apple of my


    eye. Protecting and taking care of her had always been my priority ever since I was a child.


    My mind flitted to what Alina had asked me to do. I took deep breaths, wiped my face, put on my


    coat, and waited at the entrance of the girls '' dormitory.


    "Warren, what are you going to do? Are you nning to sneak into the dorm and attack Sylvia? I


    think it''s dangerous. There are cameras everywhere. Why don''t you go somewhere else? I think the


    woods would be a perfect ce to attack her," Salt suggested.


    However, the word ''sneak'' made my heart flip. My back stiffened as I felt a pang of shame and


    anger in my heart. "What are you talking about? I won''t make a sneak attack."


    Understanding my emotion, Salt snorted arrogantly and stopped talking.


    Just then, I saw Sylvia and Flora walking out of the dormitory, chatting andughing. After a


    moment''s hesitation, I stepped forward and stopped Sylvia. "I have something to tell you."
