Chapter 1113 Back Up
Lucy''s POV:
Sure enough, it was Ad.
I could see the imprint of my hand on her face as she sat enraged at the table, ready with another cup in her hand to throw across the room.
"Ad, do you want to end our alliance?”
I red at her until she ced the cup back on the tray. She was so furious that she clenched her jaw and her face flushed, making her look a little
malevolent.
"You humiliated me today!"
I rolled my eyes and ignored her.
I put down Firman and said, "Baby, go to your room and read a book. I need to talk to Ad.”
Chviously, Firman was terrified. His face had no color and he didn''t want to let go of my hand.
I was fuming. This was all Ad''s fault. She frightened my baby!
Firman was still in the room, so I had to restrain my temper. Swallowing my anger for the moment, I gathered my child in my arms again. "Then let me
carry you to your room and prepare some cake for you, okay?"
Firman wrapped his arms around my neck tightly and nodded. "Okay."
Afterforting him, I returned to the living and glowered at Ad with a sullen expression.
"What do you want?"
This idiot almost injured my son just now. If it weren''t for the fact that she was still useful, I would have killed her already by now.
Ad shed her weak fagade and sprung to her feet angrily. She shouted, "Don''t pretend to be unaware! How could you help Crystal humiliate me in
front of so many people? Have you forgotten which side you are on?"
As Adined, she turned her battered face in my direction. She was so close to me.
I almostughed in anger. Damn it! What a fool!
I pushed her away from me in
disgust and curled my lips up in
disdain; “Do you have any idea who
you re-messing with? I saved you.
Not.only were you not gratefal, but
youre still creating trouble here.”
Ad gritted her teeth and said with a ferocious look, "She''s just an Alpha. As the future queen, why would I be afraid of her?"
I was at a loss for words. I deeply regretted asking her to participate in my n. What had this fool grown up on? Why was she such a moron?
I inhaled deeply and tried my best to
push my-anger away. "You are nat
the queen. You''re only the daughter
of the:A pha of a small pack. Anyone
heres more powerful than you.
Yat re nothing."

Ad''s expression told me that I had hit a nerve. She immediately burst into tears. "I will be the queen! Soaner orter, I will get that position!"
"Let''s wait until you actually be the queen,” I scoffed, not taking her tantrum seriously.
Her face darkeped. She took several
rapid breaths-to calm herself down.
After a while, she continued, "I just ~
made sce inquiries. Beryl isn''t oo
Rufus-child. He had just saved-er
and she lost her memory. And
Crystal is only a widow with two
children.”
"What do you mean? Crystal has another child?" I quickly caught the most important point of Ad''s rant and I was astonished
Ad didn''t catch on to my surprise. She pouted and said, "Yes. She also has a son. It is said that they''re boy-girl twins."This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
I was so shocked that my facial muscles twisted for a moment.
Ad finally seemed to have sensed something off. She frowned and asked, "What''s wrong? Is something the problem?"
I took a deep breath, met Ad''s eyes, and enunciated every word as I said, "Crystal is Rufus '' former mate. Those children must be his."
No wonder the servant had reported to me that Laura takes very good care of Beryl. Perhaps she already knew that Beryl was her granddaughter.
As this thought crossed my mind, I was struck with another guess. I wondered if Laura had helped Crystal fake her death five years ago.
Not everyone could gain the post of Alpha after all. Maybe Laura had a hand in arranging it.
If that was the case, Ad would never make it. Crystal had two children—Rufus'' children, who were her biggest bargaining chips. Laura would
certainly take her side.
