Chapter 1137 She Is Arrogant


    Rufus'' POV:


    I had already been informed of the matter on the way here. Arron was missing. No wonder Crystal had made such a ruckus.


    But I still couldn''t control the anger I felt at her impulsiveness. Instead of firsting to me, she took her own pecple to create trouble in the imperial


    pce. Neither did she consider my feelings, nor did she take me seriously.


    I''d thought that I would give her a severe dressing down when I saw her.


    However, when I saw her pained eyes, my heart softened. I couldn''t continue being angry with her, let alone me her. I could see that she was


    anxious, but pretending to be strong. When she met my eyes, I was even overwhelmed by the impulse to wrap my arms around her.


    l inwardly sighed. This she-wolf had really bewitched me. She had pushed my buttons several times, but I was willing to change my principles for her.


    I had probably lost my mind.Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    l inhaled deeply to calm myself down. Without telling her anything, I turned around and ordered the guards beside me, "Lock down the imperial


    pcepound. Anyone who wants to leave must undergo a rigorous inspection. Don''t allow anyone to take the kid outside. Go and probe


    everyone''s whereabouts tonight and find witnesses. If anyone behaves suspiciously, bring them here, whether the person is a guard, an elder, or their


    family member." All the guards instantly left to carry out my orders,


    leaving only Crystal and me. I turned my attention back to her, and saw that her eyes were red. She was obviously still upset.


    She tugged on my sleeve. Her anger was gone, reced by a sheepish expression


    "Did we make too big a fuss?" Crystal asked in a slightly frightened voice while tilting her head a little.


    I was very satisfied with her contriteness, but I didn''t reveal it an my face.


    She probably knew she was wrong making a scene. If I hadn''t arrived here in time, she would have torn this ce apart with her people


    What an ignorant she-wolf!


    She was behaving herself right now, but she might dare to disobey me again in the future.


    She disregarded discipline and authority. She was probably the only person who didn''t take me seriously.


    I snorted. Now you realize that ~~.


    you''ve kicked up a big fuss? If I BS


    didn''te, what were you going to


    do with these elders? You’ re. not


    scared of anything, are you?"


    Crystal lowered her head and silently dropped her eyes to her feet, looking like a student being lectured by a teacher.


    I looked at the top of her head and stopped reprimanding her.


    I didn''t know why, but I felt sorry for her.


    I inwardly sighed deeply and it


    dawned an me that she had


    captured my heart. I would be


    furious if she made a mistake; but I


    wouldn''t be able to hold her


    responsible.

    In the end, I couldn''t stop myself from touching her head. This soft touch melted my heart, and I couldn''t rebuke her anymore.


    The restlessness I felt in my heart settled at this


    moment, and a sense of satisfaction flowed through me.


    I reluctantly pulled back my hand. In


    a softer voice! said, "It''s not been


    long since Arron disappeared. He ~~

    nook and cranny of the entire
