Chapter 231 The Disappearing Witch


    Rufus'' POV:


    After leaving my mother''s pce, I went directly to a meeting.


    But at noon, I made time to go to the army to see ir. He had no sses in the afternoon, so he


    nned to lead the soldiers in their afternoon training.


    "Looking at your unhappy face, I can say that things didn''t go well. Am I right?" ir hit the nail on


    the head. He then walked to the fridge, took out two cans of beer, and handed one to me. "Tell me


    what happened."


    I pinched my be wearily and said, "Someone has served as scapegoat."


    ir clicked his tongue. "Tsk. I knew it. Her maid, right?"


    "Yeah." As I answered, I opened the can of beer and clinked cans with him. "That maid has been


    with her since she was a child. And my mother executed that maid."


    "It must be hard on Alina." ir sighed, took a sip of his beer, and added, "Didn''t she plead for


    mercy?"


    "Of course, she wouldn''t dare!" I said sarcastically. "She even yed along with my mother." "Your


    mother is so clever. Didn''t she see through Alina''s trick?" ir seemed a little shocked. "I thought


    Alina and her maid would be punished together."


    "I don''t know if my mother saw through her or not." I put down the beer, took out a cigarette, and


    yed with my lighter. "But I have to find a reason to send Alina out of the pce. Judging from my


    mother''s attitude, I think she intends to keep Alina here."All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "You know what? I''m really curious. What has your mother seen in Alina that she likes Alina so


    much? The first time I saw Alina, I already felt that she was a scheming she-wolf. Is it because she


    is so obedient to your mother that your mother likes her? But she''s just pretending." ir looked


    puzzled.


    I sneered coldly, "No matter how much my mother likes Alina, she can''t stay."


    "But if you kick Alina out of the pce for no reason, your mother will be angry. How about you wait


    and see what happens next? Just be more cautious during this time. Now that her maid was


    executed, I think Alina will restrain herself. She won''t y any trick for the time being," ir said.


    "Okay," I said with a nod and lit the cigarette. "I''ll figure something out."


    "By the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you," ir said in a serious tone, pulling a long


    face. "I sent my men to look for that witch, but I haven''t got any news yet. The witch race is


    mysterious. They usually disguise themselves as ordinary people and hide in different ces.


    Looking for that witch is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack."


    ir was one of the few werewolves who knew my secret. He had never given up on helping me


    find a way to remove my curse. But after so many years, we hadn''t found any clues yet. We didn''t


    even know if that witch was still alive or dead now.


    I smiled nonchntly. "It doesn''t matter anymore. I now have the most important person in my life. I


    don''t care whether the curse can be removed or not. All I want to do now is to protect my beloved


    well."


    ir patted me on the shoulder and said, "Thank goodness you finally admit it. Didn''t you say you


    just admire her? Actually, you were so serious at that time when you said it that I almost wanted to


    give you a punch to sober you up."


    "Well, I didn''t expect it either. Maybe it''s fate." I took a drag on my cigarette and exhaled the smoke


    slowly. "Fortunately, I met Sylvia. Otherwise, I don''t know how I will end up."


    Thinking of Sylvia made my heart skip a beat.


    "It''s a pity that Sylvia doesn''t have a sister." ir shook his head regretfully. "If only she does, it


    would be great."


    "And what do you mean by that?" I kicked him angrily. "Don''t you dare try to covet Sylvia.


    Otherwise, I won''t let you go even though we are friends."
