Chapter 933 Born To Torture Him


    Crystal''s POV:


    Laura caught sight of me as soon as she walked in. We exchanged nces for a brief second. And


    although I was wearing a mask now, she knew it was me.


    Rufus asked in surprise, "Mother. What brings you here?"


    "I heard that you saved a little girl, so I came to have a look." Laura had not lost any of her grace.


    Her tone was calm and deliberate, so that no one could infer real her thoughts and emotions.


    As she spoke, she pretended to nce at Beryl and raised her eyebrows. "So... is she the little


    girl?"


    Her voice was quite calm, but I could feel the flutter of excitement in her eyes. She almost had


    trouble keeping a smile from spreading across her face, and she was definitely ready to reach out


    and hug Beryl.


    "Yes, her name is Beryl." Rufus held Beryl and didn''t move because the little girl was standing on


    hisp, with her hands around his neck. Beryl''s chubby cheeks stiffened as she eyed Laura with


    suspicion.


    Laura chuckled and joined Rufus on the couch. She gave Beryl a long, hard stare before dering,


    "She seems to be quite terrified of strangers." "Yes, she was injured. It''s probably just her stress


    response." After saying that, Rufus lifted his chin in my direction and continued, "She is the little


    girl''s mother, Crystal, the Alpha of the border pack."


    Laura pretended to be unfamiliar with me and just smiled politely. "I remember meeting you briefly


    when Ethan handed you the appointment letter. I don''t think you were hiding your face behind a


    mask back then."


    "I was unfortunately disfigured when I fought with the vampires a few years back. Since then, I have


    been wearing a mask all the time. But it''s not a problem. Just as the king said, appearance doesn''t


    mean anything, but strength does." I told Laura the excuse I said to Rufus. I pretended to be


    sincere, and obviously, Laura and I were a great team.


    Laura sighed with a pitiful look and responded, "There is always a silver lining even in one''s darkest


    days. You were injured, but you survived. And right now, the border pack is flourishing thanks to


    your leadership. As far as I''m concerned, I believe that it will soon be one of the strongest


    packs in our country."


    With half a smile, I responded confidently, "Definitely. That has always been my lifelong wish."


    Rufus sat aside and listened to us quietly. He didn''t say a word, but he kept his eyes on me, which


    made me sweat profusely.


    "Rufus, since you have found the girl''s mother, why are you still holding her?" It was then that Laura


    shifted gears and turned to question Rufus.


    Before Rufus could say anything, Beryl spoke first. She held his head and then pressed her cute


    cheek against his handsome face, looking both funny and lovely. "Beryl won''t leave Daddy." Rufus''


    handsome face was slightly distorted by Beryl''s squeeze. It was rare to see him so embarrassed, so


    I couldn''t help giggling. Immediately, Rufus'' icy gaze swept over me, causing me to immediately put


    on a straight face. "Beryl''s head was badly injured and it seems she''s lost part of her memory. She


    mistook me for her father and refused to leave," Rufus exined in a cold voice. He obviously felt


    helpless because of Beryl''s behavior. He tried to be calm, but Beryl was just too much for him to


    handle. Perhaps Beryl was destined from birth to torment Rufus.


    Rufus''ments lit up a spark in Laura''s eyes. "How did that happen?"


    Although it was posed as a question, I could tell that Laura was overjoyed.Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "Maybe it was because I was thest person she saw before she passed out," Rufus answered


    helplessly. He then let out a sigh, still holding Beryl in his arms.


    "Okay, I see. Then just leave her here for the time being!"


    The light in Laura''s eyes alerted me instantly.
