Chapter 12 Chapter 12 Gerald's mouth twitched, "You're a she-wolf. How exactly are you planning to rise?" I choked my face instantly turning red.What was he implying?! That couldn't possibly be what he meant right? "What are you thinking? It's not that kind of meaning! Just take me back to my room." I snapped, my fur prickling with embarrassment. Gerald then carried me to take the elevator. I asked puzzledly, "Gerald, why not take the stairs? Carrying me upstairs is a good way to build strength." Gerald was so angry that he wanted to cuff me on the head Doy you think you are light as a feather? You expect me to haul you up without breaking a sweat?" "She definitely had some weight to her, okay?" He thought. Also, his figure was loved by every she-wolf swoon on sight, what kind of workout could he possibly need? He was wearing a leather jacket, with a floral shirt underneath. As he stood on the street, she-wolves who wanted to bond with him lined up for a mile. His scent was intoxicating, a mix of pine and musk I smiled happily, I had my brothers, why would I want the affection of those four stupid biological Alpha brothers? My Gerald doted on me. In the past life, I was not in my right mind, always thinking that they were my biological parents and brothers, I longed for their affection. What I desired most was considered insignificant in their eyes, In my past life, I was also very clear, but still wanted to give it a try. I was sure that I would make my families all like me. I ignored Nymeria's warning at me. But what did it bring in return? A living hell. A grave for two. The brutal deaths of my grandfather and my brothers I felt the rage of Nymeria. But it's been three months since I left, and there has been no news from the Campbell Family. Mrs. Campbell probably didn't discover anything. did she? In the previous life, Mrs. Campbell never knew the truth until she died, and in this life, she probably won't easily believe what I say. "Gerald, I saved Luna Werner, do you believe it?" Gerald:"" "What? Luna Werner was the one you saved?" Gerald's face darkened. "That disgrace of an Omega, Ophelia, actually dared to claim she was the hero? Pathetic." "Hmm! But being replaced by Ophelia, Gerald, do you think it's difficult to align with the Werner Family?" Business is tough now, the Cochran Family is strong, but strong Families are getting stronger every season. Don't let Darnell's "who, me? act fool you that bastard plays dumb, then guts you in the boardroom before you even s see it coming In my past life, I had heard of, and even seen, Darnell, but meeting him in person was difficult. He was a business genius on par with Emmett Now I have found a strong rival for us again, headache. Gerald sneered, "I don't have to align with the Werner Family. There are so many wolves in this territory to collaborate with. There are also many unexpected events that can happen. And who knows? Maybe tomorrow, fate will bite back-starting with their bankruptcy." I thought Gerald "was a dreamer", I decided to try other ways. 52 Chapter 12 There are always more solutions than difficulties. Gerald carried me back to the room while saying. He put me on the bed, gently ruffled my fur, and indulgently said, "Silly girl, don't overthink it, just sleep well. The Cochran Family doesn't need scraps from the Werner Family's table." I nodded, "Oh! I don't overthink, I just want to think about how many handsome wolves there will be in my harem." Gerald-" He bolted from the room like a shot, suddenly very motivated to avoid becoming part of my collection. I was joking. I lay on the huge bed, sprawled out, without any shape, my eyes staring at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling, thinking about how to break the deadlock It's possible that Ophelia, that Omega, knew I had saved Luna Werner, and she might turn against me. That Omega, besides other things, she dares to scheme against others, no one dares to say she's the second, let alone the first. She appeared on the scene that day, Darnell was going to investigate what happened to Luna Werner, he would definitely check the surveillance footage from that day, before that, the cunning Ophelia would surely have destroyed the surveillance. I sat up abruptly, I had previously instructed Paulina, not knowing if she had acted in advance. I searched by the bedside and saw my phone. I crawled over, picked up the phone, and was about to make a call when I saw Emmett's number coming in. Bad luck. I cursed two words in my heart, answered the phone, and then heard Emmett's roar, "Arabella, why did you plot against Luna Werner?"
