Chapter 1024 Armory
Rufus' POV:
Every time I dropped a name, I'd carefully observe this she-wolf's reaction, especially when I mentioned my mother. There was undeniable disbelief in Crystal's eyes, which I caught.
I pursed my lips and couldn't help but feel a little surprised. I just had a guess about the relationship between her and my mother, but I didn't expect that my bluff would actually lead me somewhere.
Last night, when my subordinate told me that Crystal had taken Beryl away from my mother's palace, I had an inkling that the two must've had some sort of special relationship. But it was also possible that Crystal had used some means to force my mother to trust her so that she could successfully take Beryl away.
Since the first time I confronted Crystal, this she-wolf had been as cunning as a fox. If I wasn't careful enough, I'd inevitably fall into some sort of trap. That was why I wanted strike as soon as she let her guard down.
She wanted to leave in the middle of the night. Perhaps she thought I didn't expect her plan, but it turned out that she was wrong. After all, I had spies everywhere in the imperial palace.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Warren might be an esteemed Alpha, but how could his power compare to mine? The so-called bribing of the guards was just to provide me with new information.
But I didn't expect that my own mother would help Crystal escape, which surprised me very much.
Thanks to my mother's involvement. the whole situation became even more interesting.
I didn't believe for a second that the so-called "Leonard's cousin" act was that simple
Besides, I was in no rush to get an answer now. Sometimes, it was more interesting to watch the prey struggling when cornered.
"So, what on earth do you want? Did you really take great pains to block my exit just because you wanted to ask me about my social life?" Glaring at me warily, Crystal pushed me away and strode to the door decisively.
"I don't want anything. I'm just curious about your relationship with my mother,” I said unhurriedly, following her to the door.
Crystal immediately tensed up and her voice went up a few octaves. "We're just friends. She likes my kids, and I'm willing to let them keep her company.”
"That's all?" I narrowed my eyes at her back.
Crystal turned to look at me over her shoulder and said firmly, "That's all. Ask all you want. I have nothing to tell you. Cancel my travel restrictions now.
I have a flight to catch."
I sneered, "What's the rush? We have plenty of time. Some things can't be explained clearly with just a few words. Take a look at this first.”
As I spoke, I turned around and reached for #document on the desk and handed to Crystal. "My men .. have found: an armory in the border area under your jurisdiction. Now! suspeet that you've amassed. arms privately, colluded with vampires, amd were planning to rebékagainst the crown."
I stared into Crystal's beautiful eyes as I said each word clearly.

Crystal didn't even glance at the document. Instead, she threw it back at me and snapped, “Even if ~ you wanted to frame me, you. = should've come up with a better> excuse! Armory? I don't know” anything about a non- existent afrnory!" Content belongs.to
