Chapter 949 Set A Trap For Her
Rufus' POV:
Seeing the panicked she-wolf on the big screen, I felt satisfied. Even though she was wearing a mask, her panic was obvious. I smiled, looking forward to her next reaction.
This she-wolf seemed to have been trying to blend in with the crowd. On the surface, she pledged her loyalty to me, but I knew that she was hiding something. After all, she had kept to herself at the border for so many years. Perhaps she was plotting against me in secret. Otherwise, why was she so afraid of being exposed?
Just now, I keenly sensed a burning stare. As soon as I turned my head, I met the intent gaze of this she-wolf. She was probably up to no good.
I could just tell that Crystal wasn't simple. She had many secrets, and I was determined to expose them all. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
I refused to let her hide in the shadows. If I exposed her now, she wouldn't be able to scheme against me.
I'd made up my mind to find an excuse to keep her in the imperial capital before I found out what she was hiding. It had taken a great deal of effort to summon her to the capital in the first place. How could I just let her go so easily? Letting the tiger out of her cage was just stupid.
Thinking of this, I praised the she-wolf again.
She seemed to be very embarrassed. Harry was close to her, and he whispered something to her which made the she-wolf look up at me. The embarrassment and anger in her eyes were obvious. It seemed that she was smart enough to see that I deliberately targeted her.
I sneered inwardly. It was really strange. When did Harry become friends with this she-wolf? Even his mate, Joanna, was standing close to her, as though they had known her for a long time...
As far as I knew, although Harry was extroverted and easygoing, he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He was proud and discreet in nature, and he wouldn't make friends with just anybody. As for Joanna, she was always cold to pretty much just everyone. It was rare for her to show intimacy with a person she just met.
The more I thought about it, the more intrigued I felt. I suddenly realized that it wasn't that bad to have some surprises in a peaceful life.
Smiling, I gestured at the masked she-wolf and invited her onstage. "Alpha Crystal, please come here and share your experience in managing the pack with us."
The crowd burst into applause. Curious, they all looked at Crystal and whispered to each other.
Over the past five years, this was the first time that the Alpha of the border pack had appeared in such a public place. It was only natural everyone was very curious about her.
Crystal didn't move, as though she didn't want to come up. She was likely cursing me in her heart now.
Although I only met her recently, I knew her well already. She was stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat. She was aggressive and never took royal power seriously. She was more unbridled than a wild cat in the woods. She needed someone to stomp on her neck to be obedient.
"Alpha Crystal, did you hear me? Please come onstage when you're ready," I said to the she-wolf patiently.
Only then did the she-wolf drag herself onstage.
I made way for her and carefully adjusted the microphone to her height. The she-wolf refused to look at me and kept silent for a long time, seeming at a loss for words.
"You can tell us how you managed your pack over the years, such as how you developed its economy, et cetera. You should have a lot to say. After all, you pay the most tax every year."
I was kind enough to give her some hints, but unexpectedly, the she-wolf rolled her eyes. It was quick, but I caught it. Although she restrained herself, I saw even the slightest movement.
I was amused. It had been a long time since anyone dared to be so disrespectful to me. How interesting!
