Chapter thirty two
Laura scoffed and shook her head. "What are you talking about?" she spat. "I have no idea what
you said. I should take my leave. You keep saying gibberish and it''s not healthy or wise."
She started ascending the staircase when Stephen''s abrupt and shrillughter stopped her. Slowly,
she turned her face towards him.
"Quiet! Why are youughing for no reason? Have you gone nuts?" Laura seethed, with ring
eyes.
Stephen smirked dangerously and walked up to her.

"What do you think you are doing?" Laura asked, with an angry voice.
"Do you know why I really like you?" he asked. Laura raised a brow.
"What? Why do you really like me? Look here, stop saying stupid things. I have had enough of your
shit," she seethed, pointing her index finger at his face.
"It''s because you are really evil and yet you seem too good. You are quite pretentious, you know,"
he whispered, the smirk on his face growing broader.
"That is your business," she snarled and walked away, without sparing a nce at him.
Laura went straight to the room and met Isabe using her phone on the bed.
"Queen Laura? Are you back?" Isabe asked, as she stood up.
"Oh, yes," she replied, with a small smile.
"That man is Oregon''s Beta, right?" Isabe asked, blinking her eyes.
Laura nodded.
"You must be hungry. How about we eat something?"
"No, I''m fine," Isabe said, and her stomach rumbled. She quickly closed her eyes tightly in
embarrassment.
Laura chuckled softly. "What did you say earlier? You aren''t hungry?"
"Sorry, I will take that back. I''m starving," she smiled.
Laura walked to the drawer close to her bed and raised the telephone to her ear. She told the
receiver at the other end to prepare a sumptuous and huge meal for her and her guest to eat.
After she was done, she ended the call and looked at Isabe. "Can you wait, right? The food will
be ready in a few minutes," she said to her.
Isabe nodded. "There is no problem with that. I''m not even that hungry," she replied with a smile.
At that moment, Isabe''s stomach gave out a loud growling sound. She moaned and encircled her
arms around her stomach.
"Damn. This is so embarrassing," she whispered, and hissed.
"I can see that your stomach never lies," Laura said with a smile on her face.
"Please, pay no attention to it. My stomach exaggerates all the time. It''s so dramatic," Isabe said.
"I know, right. I can see that," Laura said as she took her seat on the couch. She reached for the
remote control on the table and switched the TV on.
"Queen Laura?" Isabe called slowly, with a soft voice as she took her seat.
"Yes?" Laura answered, and nced at Isabe.
"Please, I was wondering if I could ask a few questions," she muttered, scratching her head.
"Questions?" Laura smirked. "Oh, my! I''m curious now. Fire away your questions."
Isabe started out with a steady and soft voice. One could see how timid and nervous she was.
"It''s actually about that girl."
"That girl? Who? Hold on… Do you mean that snake under the green grass?" Laura asked, her
brows creasing.
"Pardon?" Isabe whispered, acting perplexed.
Laura sighed and took her gaze back to the TV. "Are you talking about that girl who came with
Oregon? Vivian?" she questioned.
"Yes!" Isabe nodded.
"What about her?" Laura asked.
"Who is that girl, really? Is she actually Oregon''s mate? Was Oregon lying or something?" Isabe
asked.
"Why? Are you worried?" Laura smirked.
Isabeughed and shook her head. "I''m not. I''m just curious," she answered.
"I see," Laura nodded. "Anyway, you don''t have to be curious about that. Both of them aren''t mates,
I''m certain about that. They are just lying about that, trying to act obnoxious."
"You might not be a hundred percent sure about that. What if they are truly mates? What if Oregon
isn''t lying? I know Oregon well, he rarely lies and I''m not sure he can lie about something like that,"
Isabe said.
"You know Oregon well? I''m not sure you do know him that well, Isabe. Have you forgotten that
he is now a grown-up? It has been a long time since you two saw each other. Weren''t you both still
little then?" Laura asked, staring at Isabe intently.
"Well, I think I know Oregon''s behavior since I studied him well back then," Isabe replied.
"People change, Isabe. That is what I want you to believe," Laura said.
"Yes, it could happen," Isabe nodded, keeping her folded fists on her thighs.
"Be? Let''s stop talking about that," Laura smiled.
"Right. I''m sorry if my question provoked or agitated you," Isabe whispered.
Laura got up and sat down next to Isabe. She held her folded fists in her hands and smiled at her.
"Look… No matter what happens, I don''t even care what those two say or think. All I know is that
you are the one for Oregon," she said, and studied the look on Isabe''s face.
"Do you want to know the primary reason I brought you here?" Laura whispered, gently tucking
Isabe''s hair behind her ear.
"Why?" Isabe asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
"I want you to own Oregon even if it means…" Laura was suddenly interrupted by a knock on the
door.
"Who is there?" she frowned, turning her face.
"The food is ready," the voice said from outside.
Laura sighed and stood up. She went to the other side and sat down. Isabe''s stomach rumbled
again and she bit her bottom lip in embarrassment.
Laura only smiled. "Come in," she finally said.
The door opened and the maids walked in, holding trays of various dishes and bottles of wine and
alcohol.
They all bowed at Laura before proceeding to the dining table. After arranging everything, they
walked back to them, bowed, and left the room, closing the door gently behind them.
"Let''s eat now. I''m sure your stomach is tired already," Laura said and stood up.
Isabe smiled awkwardly and also got on her feet, following Laura to the dining room from behind.
