Chapter 1090 Logical Analysis


    Crystal''s POV:


    "If I hadn''te, you''d probably run out of tears.” Laura poked my forehead with her finger in rebuke. I knew she expected me to handle matters


    better than this.


    I hurriedly wiped my tears away and ducked my head in embarrassment.This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    "Aren''t you usually tough and unfazed by anything?" Laura asked, though I could hear a hint of sympathy in her tone. "Why did you turn into a coward


    and ran away after some scolding from Rufus? You are on the right side. If anyone had to run away, it most definitely isn''t you."


    Laura scoffed before plopping down beside me. She nced sideways at me, her eyes twinkling with amusement. "Just look at your face. Your eyes


    are all swollen. Tell me, are you feeling aggrieved?”


    "It''s not that. I just find it hard to ept,” I muttered under my breath. Somehow, Laura''s presence eased my sorrow.


    "I understand,” she said, patting my hand in earnest. "Don''t worry. That Ad girl won''t be staying for long. I saw through her tricks right away."


    I perked up in surprise. "You think Ad is scheming something?"


    "Of course! I married a king, and I surely have been more bitches than you can ever imagine during those years." Laura proudly raised her chin.


    I found her show of bravado cute. "It''s true that Ad suddenly appeared from out of nowhere." "Oh, I don''t think it''s all that sudden," Laura said with


    a sarcastic smirk. "It was an orchestrated move." Then she turned to lock at me, and her face grew serious. "Since it was you who saved Rufus, then


    that means that Ad is lying. Although, we have no way of knowing her reasons at the moment. We need to at least find a way to make her slip up


    and expose herself."


    I was moved by Laura''s unconditional trust in me. My thoughts wandered back to Rufus. He used to believe in me without reservation, too, no matter


    what happened.


    I leaned over and gave Laura a tight hug. "Thank you, Laura.”


    She seemed taken aback by this, but


    I soon felt het stroking my back.


    ‘Don''t think too much about Rufus


    for now. {That silly idiot must be


    wallowdfig in confusion as we speak.


    Afterall, it''s no small matter to find


    one''s mate, supposedly under the


    Moon Goddess’ guidance. Content

    "I know. Qur priority right now is to find out Ad’s motive for doing this.”


    After listening to Laura''s logical analysis of the situation, my head finally started to clear. I ticked off the details that didn''t add up. Firstly, I was the one


    who had saved Rufus, so Ad was clearly lying


    More than that, there was no doubt


    in my mind tigat their so-called mate


    bond was fi fabricated in one way or.


    another. Perhaps forced, even. I was


    still here; and I was still Rufus'' mate.


    Theréas no way that Moon...


    Goddess would have guidedhim to


    asecond mate while I was:still


    around.


    As if reading my thoughts, Laura voiced them out with a frown. "The one thing I don''t understand is why Rufus is so convinced that Ad is his mate.


    Shouldn''t he have known by her scent that she isn''t who she ims to be?"


    I mulled this over in my head until I


    recalled readihg about a very


    little-known potion in a book of


    witchcraft that my mother had RN


    passed-down to me. The potion was


    said I to''make someone mistake a


    different person as their mate.


    However, the potion''s effects only


    lasted for a month. Content belongs

    “ey,


    Did Ad have something to do with the ck witches?


    I ryed my suspicions to Laura, who pondered it as well. "I am in charge of the wedding arrangements. If I stall it for over a month, Ad is bound to


    expose herself, right?"


    "That''s a good idea," I said after some consideration. "The potion only works on its victim once, after which they develop an immunity to the


    substance. It won''t work on the same victim for a second time."


    "Now then, the only thing I''m worried about is if Rufus somehow falls in love with Ad during that time.” Laura pointed out.


    I immediately dismissed the possibility. I wasn''t entirely sure, but I simply refused to believe that Rufus would fall in love with another she-wolf,


    Laura''s tone was careful when she spoke next. "The problem is that I''ve noticed that Ad is trying to imitate the way you were five years ago."
