Third Person’s POV
Adelaide first checked in with Beta Ralph to get the lay of the land, particularly regarding the Golden Jewelry
Store.
Ralph assured her that Johnson was under control and the store was under surveillance-no one would leak
information.
Relieved, Adelaide headed to the pack’s finance room.
Priscilla was still reviewing the books, but the room was filled with anxious werewolves who stood up as she
entered.
The air was thick with Priscilla’s bitter almond-scented pheromones, laced with grievance, creating an
oppressive atmosphere that forced everyone to bow their heads.
The office was in disarray. Everything on the desk except the ledgers had been thrown about, and several cups
lay smashed.
Priscilla’s hair was disheveled, her face ashen. Upon seeing Adelaide, her emotions erupted, and she burst
into tears.
“They deceived me!” Her pupils contracted with emotion, and an unnatural redness crept into the corners of her
eyes.
Adelaide's Alpha presence, marked by a cedar scent, instantly calmed the chaotic pheromones.
She addressed the room, “Leave. Everyone except the finance staff-Susan too.”
Her commanding tone left no room for argument.
The Blackthorn Pack had several financial officers and a chief accountant, all of whom now stood up in
trepidation. They had never seen Priscilla in such a fury.
The omega servants who had cin to attend to them let out a collective sigh of relief. They stood up,
curtseyed, and exited the room.
Even Johnson, still on his knees, was ushered out.

Adelaide approached Priscilla with a handkerchief to wipe her tears. “Done reviewing the ledgers?” she asked,
her soothing pheromones aiming to steady Priscilla.
“Only through this year’s,” Priscilla replied, blotting her tears and snot with the ha
rchief.
Adelaide returned. Though Priscilla’s heart was steadier, the sense of humiliation still clung to her. “Even without
this year’s accounts, the store made thirteen million dollars. Yet she comes to the palace every few days to ask
Her voice carried the distinctive catch of a she-wolf, and her pheromones still lingered with a hint of bitterness.

Adelaide helped her up. “Let's get scoffee and food. Leave the rest to the finance team. I'll check their work
and then review your contract. We'll confront Wanda at Madison's place.”
A cold gleam flickered in Adelaide’s eyes at the mention of Wanda, her Alpha aura briefly surfacing.
Wanda had been residing at Madison's estate lately and hadn't shown her face yesterday during the diamond
incident.
But as the Golden Jewelry Store’s manager, she had no choice but to face the music.
“Isn't this walking into the lion's den? Can we really get anything back?”
Priscilla asked bitterly, her voice trembling with uncertainty.
“Ours is ours-I'll bring it back,” Adelaide asserted firmly, her cedar scent intensifying like a protective shield.
Priscilla wiped her nose. “If you can get it back, I'll split it with you,” she said, her pheromones laced with
skepticism.
Adelaide replied, “I don't want your

“This is outrageous!” Priscilla exclaimed.
Despite her fury, Priscilla was at a loss. She turned to Adelaide, “What should | do? Besides the initial two -

me. I'll just sever ties with them from now on,” she said, her voice tinged with tears.
Adelaide frowned. She had mentioned retrieving everything earlier. Why was Priscilla now willing to forgo
dividends?
This Priscilla, all bark and no bite, was truly contemptible...
Yet her tearful look tugged at the heartstrings.
Adelaide now understood why the old Lycan King and Lycan Clarissa doted on her.
When she cried, she looked pitiful, her soft features and wide eyes exuding innocence, making one’s heart ache.
