Chapter 409 An Old Friend
Sylvia''s POV:
Olivia was my mother''s name. Ever since she had passed away, I''d rarely heard her name being
mentioned.
I looked up at this man in surprise.
The man looked to be in his forties. He was well maintained and elegant. It was obvious that he was
an eminent personality.

He stared at me in shock. It sounded like he had mistaken me for my mother.
It wasn''t his fault. I did look a lot like her when she was young. Was he a friend of hers?
"Did you know my mother?" I asked him.
His expression became more peculiar. He watched me and was lost in thought for a long time.
Rufus pulled me behind him and asked in an annoyed voice, "Are you here for Leonard?"
The man snapped back to his senses and nodded. "Yes, I''m here for Alpha Leonard."
His voice was low, and he liked to speak softly.
I blinked and my gaze bounced between the two of them. "Do you know each other?"
"He''s one of Leonard''s people. I''ve seen him before," Rufus replied lightly.
This stoked my curiosity further. "How did you know my mother?"
The man had regained hisposure and answered me mildly, "When I was young, I had a chance
to fight a battle with an alliance of other packs. I had met your mother there, but we weren''t actually
acquainted with each other."
I scratched my head. He remembered my mother even after so many years though he had only
seen her once. Was he a secret admirer of hers?
But that didn''t seem to be the case. The man had not disyed any other emotion besides shock.
The hair on the back of my neck prickled with a strange feeling. When I identally spotted Lena,
who was at a distance, I noticed that she had frozen in her tracks and was staring at the man with a
disturbed expression. When she became aware of my gaze, she spun around and walked away in
panic.
Something was wrong. Obviously, Lena knew the man. But the escort team had left the pce
gates and I didn''t get a chance to question her.
I shifted my attention back to the man again and wanted to ask him more about my mother.
However, Leonard joined us unexpectedly.
He hurried towards us with Owen, a big smile splitting his face when he saw the man.
This was the first time I had seen Leonard smiling so openly. He patted the man on his shoulder and
called him Edwin.
It turned out that he was Edwin, the same man Leonard and Owen had been talking about earlier.
Leonard gave a simple salute to Rufus. The two of them talked business for a while before shifting
the topic to me. They discussed the result of today''s training.
I couldn''t interrupt, so I had to listen quietly.
"Sylvia, let me introduce him to you." Suddenly, Leonard turned to look at me and pointed at Edwin.
"This is my good friend who grew up with me. He is also an elder who is responsible for all the
internal affairs of our pack. In the following month, he will supervise your training with me... oh, and
Owen, too."
A huge pressure instantly settled over me. It was difficult enough to deal with Leonard alone, and
now two more people had joined him.
I gave Rufus a pitiful look, wanting him to save me.
Rufus curled his fingers into a fist, brought it to his mouth, and coughed, as if he was covering up a
laugh. "This is a good thing. It will yield better results this way."
"Yes. I wanted Rufus to supervise you too. But Rufus is too tender towards you. All you have to do
is give him a forlorn look and his heart will melt."
Leonard''s words made me blush. I didn''t dare meet Rufus'' eyes anymore.
Recalling thest time Rufus had trained me, I couldn''t helpining inwardly, ''Rufus is not soft-
hearted when he trains me. He is just as strict and fierce as you are.''
Then Leonard nced at Edwin and asked inquisitively, "What were you talking about with Sylvia
just now? I thought you knew each other."
