Chapter 1024 Armory


    Rufus'' POV:


    Every time I dropped a name, I''d carefully observe this she-wolf''s reaction, especially when I mentioned my mother. There was undeniable disbelief in


    Crystal''s eyes, which I caught.


    I pursed my lips and couldn''t help but feel a little surprised. I just had a guess about the rtionship between her and my mother, but I didn''t expect


    that my bluff would actually lead me somewhere.


    Last night, when my subordinate told me that Crystal had taken Beryl away from my mother''s pce, I had an inkling that the two must''ve had some


    sort of special rtionship. But it was also possible that Crystal had used some means to force my mother to trust her so that she could sessfully


    take Beryl away.


    Since the first time I confronted Crystal, this she-wolf had been as cunning as a fox. If I wasn''t careful enough, I''d inevitably fall into some sort of trap.


    That was why I wanted strike as soon as she let her guard down.


    She wanted to leave in the middle of the night. Perhaps she thought I didn''t expect her n, but it turned out that she was wrong. After all, I had spies


    everywhere in the imperial pce.


    Warren might be an esteemed Alpha, but how could his powerpare to mine? The so-called bribing of the guards was just to provide me with new


    information.


    But I didn''t expect that my own mother would help Crystal escape, which surprised me very much.


    Thanks to my mother''s involvement. the whole situation became even more interesting.


    I didn''t believe for a second that the so-called "Leonard''s cousin" act was that simple


    Besides, I was in no rush to get an answer now. Sometimes, it was more interesting to watch the prey struggling when cornered.


    "So, what on earth do you want? Did you really take great pains to block my exit just because you wanted to ask me about my social life?" ring at


    me warily, Crystal pushed me away and strode to the door decisively.


    "I don''t want anything. I''m just curious about your rtionship with my mother,” I said unhurriedly, following her to the door.


    Crystal immediately tensed up and her voice went up a few octaves. "We''re just friends. She likes my kids, and I''m willing to let them keep her


    company.”


    "That''s all?" I narrowed my eyes at her back.


    Crystal turned to look at me over her shoulder and said firmly, "That''s all. Ask all you want. I have nothing to tell you. Cancel my travel restrictions


    now.

    I sneered, "What''s the rush? We have plenty of time. Some things can''t be exined clearly with just a few words. Take a look at this first.”


    As I spoke, I turned around and


    reached for #document on the desk


    and handed to Crystal. "My men ..
