Chapter 1029 Hand Over The Power
Crystal's POV:
At the start of the video call, Blair greeted Rufus respectfully first, then looked at me and greeted me in a distant tone. His indifferent attitude was in line with the normal treatment of a stranger that he didn't fully trust. No one would believe that he used to know me.
As I studied his familiar face, I wasn't sure if he had also lost his memory.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
"Go ahead. Inform him about all the things he needs to know while managing the pack in your stead,” Rufus ordered me casually.
I shot him an impatient glance and bit out, "I know." Then I narrated every important matter to Blair, who was listening to me with his full attention After that. he asked me to repeat everything once to confirm that I hadn't bluffed about anything
I inwardly complained that in these past five years, not just Rufus but Blair had also changed drastically. If they stood side-by-side, they truly looked like a pair of emotionless killers.
As this thought crossed my mind. a laughed involuntarily burst from my lips. A second later, I realized how stupid my action was. Rufus scowled and eyed me as if I was a fool.
I was so embarrassed that I flushed deeply. When I turned my attention back to Blair on the screen, his expression was the same, but he touched his temple with his little finger.
I instantly understood. That movement! It was a secret signal Blair and I had developed!
So Blair was acting. He must have learned how to mask his emotions fram Rufus. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to play such a disgusting character So well
While Rufus was occupied with something else, I quickly raised my hand and scratched my forehead. A smile flashed across Blair's eyes, but it was so fleeting that it disappeared almost instantly.
My spirits instantly improved. Rufus thought he had the upper hand, but he didn't know that Blair was actually on my side! After exchanging our secret signals, Blair's serious face didn't seem as annoying as before to me.
I answered all his questions, not hiding anything. If Rufus really wanted to dismiss me from the Alpha position, Blair was a good replacement.
He was more-than capable. Not only was he Rufus” exceptional assistant, but also aweapon that represented the royafamily. With him leading the border pack, I was confident that thosérampant vampires would not dare to intrude our territory-again.
I didn't know hew Blair was released from the prison five years ago. After Rufus losis memory, he must => have forgotten his conflict with Blair too, arelse he wouldn't have given Blaissuch an important position now. _~

In this case, I was better off staying where I was. The more I resisted, the more interested Rufus would be in me. After disconnecting the call, I cheerfully asked Rufus, "What else do you need from me? Tell me everything. I'm willing to cooperate with you."
Rufus silently stared at me with an unfathomable expression, sending a shiver up my spine. Was he planning something bad again?
I already gave in to him, and he still wasn't satisfied?
"Crystal,"
Rufus uttered my name very seriously. This was the first time in five years that he had talked to me so seriously.
My heart began thumping and I stammered, "Wha... What? I'm cooperating!”
A note of grievance crept into my voice.
He cast a sidelong glance in my direction and his expression changed. With a scoff, he asked, "Have you met Blair before?”
My heart skipped a beat and I involuntarily shuddered. Facing Rufus’ questioning eyes, I pretended to be calm and said, "I don’t know him. Why do you ask?”
