Chapter 1029 Hand Over The Power


    Crystal''s POV:


    At the start of the video call, ir greeted Rufus respectfully first, then looked at me and greeted me in a distant tone. His indifferent attitude was in


    line with the normal treatment of a stranger that he didn''t fully trust. No one would believe that he used to know me.


    As I studied his familiar face, I wasn''t sure if he had also lost his memory.


    "Go ahead. Inform him about all the things he needs to know while managing the pack in your stead,” Rufus ordered me casually.


    I shot him an impatient nce and bit out, "I know." Then I narrated every important matter to ir, who was listening to me with his full attention


    After that. he asked me to repeat everything once to confirm that I hadn''t bluffed about anything


    I inwardlyined that in these past five years, not just Rufus but ir had also changed drastically. If they stood side-by-side, they truly looked


    like a pair of emotionless killers.


    As this thought crossed my mind. aughed involuntarily burst from my lips.


    A secondter, I realized how stupid my action was. Rufus scowled and eyed me as if I was a fool.


    I was so embarrassed that I flushed deeply. When I turned my attention back to ir on the screen, his expression was the same, but he touched his


    temple with his little finger.Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.


    I instantly understood.


    That movement! It was a secret signal ir and I had developed!


    So ir was acting. He must have learned how to mask his emotions fram Rufus. Otherwise, he wouldn''t be able to y such a disgusting character


    So well


    While Rufus was upied with something else, I quickly raised my hand and scratched my forehead. A smile shed across ir''s eyes, but it was


    so fleeting that it disappeared almost instantly.


    My spirits instantly improved. Rufus thought he had the upper hand, but he didn''t know that ir was actually on my side!


    After exchanging our secret signals, ir''s serious face didn''t seem as annoying as before to me.


    I answered all his questions, not hiding anything. If Rufus really wanted to dismiss me from the Alpha position, ir was a good recement.


    He was more-than capable. Not only


    was he Rufus” exceptional assistant,


    but also aweapon that represented


    the royafamily. With him leading


    the border pack, I was confident that


    thosérampant vampires would not


    dare to intrude our territory-again.


    I didn''t know hew ir was released


    from the prison five years ago. After


    Rufus losis memory, he must =>


    have forgotten his conflict with ir


    too, arelse he wouldn''t have given


    issuch an important position


    now.  _~

    I was dt to see that they were

    was furious because Rufus had >

    disappeared. Content bdts to


    -


    In this case, I was better off staying where I was. The more I resisted, the more interested Rufus would be in me.


    After disconnecting the call, I cheerfully asked Rufus, "What else do you need from me? Tell me everything. I''m willing to cooperate with you."


    Rufus silently stared at me with an unfathomable expression, sending a shiver up my spine. Was he nning something bad again?


    I already gave in to him, and he still wasn''t satisfied?


    "Crystal,"


    Rufus uttered my name very seriously. This was the first time in five years that he had talked to me so seriously.


    My heart began thumping and I stammered, "Wha... What? I''m cooperating!”


    A note of grievance crept into my voice.


    He cast a sidelong nce in my direction and his expression changed. With a scoff, he asked, "Have you met ir before?”


    My heart skipped a beat and I involuntarily shuddered. Facing Rufus’ questioning eyes, I pretended to be calm and said, "I don’t know him. Why do


    you ask?”
