It seemed that Griffon was not interested in Roman's comparisons. Roman said nothing more and led me to sit opposite him. As soon as we sat down, a man in an expensive suit opened a bottle of wine and handed it to me “Taya Palmer, right? Can you drink? I didn’t know who this man was, and the suddenness of his offer made me feel uneasy. I hesitated, unsure of what to do. I wasn’t sure if he was a wolf or not, so I didn’t know if he was offering me regular wine, or wine laced with wolfsbane. Wolfsbane would kill me. Seeing me hesitate, the man suddenly smiled. “Don’t worry. There isn’t any wolfsbane in this.” The man’s gentle demeanor put me at ease. I accepted the wine and took a small sip, but I still felt unsure about drinking it.

The woman sitting next to the man noticed my hesitation and began to sneer. “Beta Starke, the girlfriend you found is awful. Preston kindly poured her a drink, but she was too scared to drink it. How rude.” Preston… This must be Griffon’s cousin, Preston Kn

    Let’s draw lots now. Each pair that draws the same number has. To switch seals. And no sitting next to each other! Khloe put the paper balls on the table and paired up those who drew the same number automatically. There were four players in the first round, and the others would line up. Those who got the numbers 1 or 2 played first. Unfortunately, I got number 2. I raised my eyes to look at the other side. It turned out that Griffon had gotten the number 1, which meant we were in a hostile situation. Khloe, who had also gotten the number 1, raised her eyebrows at me as if to say, “Wait and see.” “What about the other 2? Who got it? After hesitating momentarily, Preston opened the paper ball in his hand. He smiled at me and said, “I’m not good at playing cards.I have to count on you.” I responded with a smile that was uglier than crying. I was a well-behaved girl who always listened to the orphanage director when I was young, listened to my teachers in school, listened to my boss, and

    Roman took the opportunity to hand over a bottle of wine. “Alpha Knight, why don’t you let Taya pour a glass of wine for you?” Roman had wanted to see me undress in front of everyone, but he quickly realized that I was his date and that he had publicly referred to me as his girlfriend. He would look like a fool if I took my clothes off in front of everyone-especially an Alpha. And that was the only thing that saved me. Preston reacted quickly and agreed with Roman. “Let her buy a glass of wine as punishment. Pour After that, he signaled me to pour wine for Griffon. How…how was pouring him wine a punishment? I looked up at Griffon.His face was blank, and I couldn’t figure out what he was thinking…if he was thinking anything at all. He’d been holding a glass of wine all evening, but I’d yet to see him take a sip of it. I didn’t know what kind of wine was in his glass, if it was laced with wolves bane or not. I mustered the courage to pick up the expensive red wine on the table, walked

    As I kneeled, Khloe laughed with delight, while Preston frowned and the others looked on as if they were watching a show. Roman showed no emotion, only ambivalence. Only Griffon, leaning back against the sofa with one arm stretched across it and his legs spread wide, looked down at me with a smug look across his face. There was no mistaking who the Alpha in the room was, and Griffon clearly knew it. I couldn’t help but think of the hundreds of days and nights we had spent together, but suddenly, it all felt like it wasn’t worth it. I’d thought I could leave with dignity, to escape this place and these people, but I should have known better. This was the cruel reality of our different social statuses. I had slept with him for five years, destined to be trampled under his feet. Stomped down by his status as an Alpha, wolf, and billionaire. However, I had only a few months left to endure. With this thought, I found a sense of calm. I kneeled, poured the wine, and handed the glass to Grif

    Taya My whole body stiffened. I didn’t dare to move, afraid of getting Roman even more aroused. I fought to suppress my disgust and keep calm. “Bela Starke, when I fall in love with you one day, I’ll be bold enough for you, too.” Roman pulled me against him, my dress still soaked in red wine, pressed against his chest. He lowered his head to kiss my neck. “I can’t wait that long.” After saying that, he lifted my dress until it was bunched around my waist and started to unzip his pants. All the color drained from my face, and I struggled with all my might.But all that did was turn Roman on even more. He held me even more tightly in his arms and clamped his teeth down on my neck harder. “Beta Starke!” Trapped, I could do nothing but hopelessly try to press my hands against his chest. I frantically looked around for my bag. Sh it. It was on the opposite sofa, too far unreachable. My palms were covered in a cold sweat, anxiety spreading through my body, but I had to force myself to calm

    The scent of Griffon’s cologne mingled with the scent of the sweet wine soaked into my dress and made me a bit dizzy. As he approached me, I felt a bit at a loss and tried to move away from him, my hand flailing a bit for the door handle. But the car was too narrow, and I could only move a little before my back was pressed against the door, my hand unable to find the latch in my haze. Griffon shifted his body so that he boxed me against the door, one hand pressed against the car window, the other hold me tightly around the upper arm. His cold eyes glanced briefly over my body, landing on the diamond necklace around my neck. After what felt like an eternity, he let out a contemptuous laugh. “It seems that your new sugar daddy treats you well.” Griffon let a rare smile cross his lips.However, his smile was even more terrifying than his typically Stoic expression. I wanted to explain, but the word “new sugar daddy” rendered me silent. From the moment Roman introduced me as his woman, th

    The Alpha stiffened, his eyes flashing with anger and malice. After staring at me, wordless, Griffon quickly pulled out some wet wipes and wiped his fingers. Seeing his actions, I couldn’t help sneering. “Beta Starke told you that he had slept with me. Why bother checking, Alpha?” I kept my face schooled, without a trace of annoyance or embarrassment reaching it, but rather with a hint of worldly charm. My indifferent attitude and repeated provocations made the usually composed Griffon lose his temper. It’d been a while since I’d seen this side of him.He threw away the wet tissue and pinched my chin. Hard. I was going to bruise. My human flesh, the lack of a wolf to help me heal… My body was no match for any wolf’s strength, let alone an Alpha as powerful as him. There was no way he didn’t see that I was in pain, especially since I was wincing, but Griffon ignored it and lowered his head until his nose was almost touching mine. “Haven’t I told you that no one is allowed to touch anyt

    Griffon slowly, deliberately set down the glass he was holding. His claws were starting to come out now, and his fingers were clutching the glass so tightly, Preston was afraid it would just disintegrate into a thousand pieces under the pressure. Griffon looked at Preston. “What do you think?” Preston decided to push forward. “I think you like her a little, don’t you? Otherwise, why would you be so angry when you heard she had slept with Roman?” Griffon snarled, “It’s in poor taste to flaunt one’s promiscuity. With a Beta, no less. So I decided to put her in her place. Is that love?”Ah, so there it was. Taya had moved from a man as rich and powerful as THE Alpha Knight, to the “lowly” Beta Starke. That made sense to Preston. Griffon didn’t want people thinking that he and Roman ran in the same circles, close enough to have access to the same women. He would rather not be a*foliated with someone like Roman.Moreover, as soon as Tara returned to the country, Griffon broke things off wit

    I was jolted awake by someone pushing me, and I struggled to open my eyes. All I could see were dark shadows, making it difficult to determine where I was. I knew my illness had worsened due to being drenched in the rain, but thankfully my thoughts were still clear, and I remembered that I was in Preston’s car. Quickly, I sat up straight, thanked Preston again, then pushed open the door and exited the car. “Ms. Palmer…” Preston stopped me, took an umbrella from the back seat, and handed it to me. “It’s still raining. Take it.” The logo on the umbrella was designer, and there was no way I was taking something so expensive from him. Especially since I didn’t know if I would have the chance to return it. I softly declined, “Thank you, but it’s only a few steps away. I’ll run.” Preston seemed stunned for a second.He seemed to have read my mind, and he threw the umbrella at me. “You don’t have to return it.” I hated being in this position. I hated taking things from people, and I really h

    Harper, who was sitting on the yoga mat in the living room, wiped the sweat off her forehead with a towel and asked Taya, “Who is he?” Harper had never met Eric before, so naturally she didn’t know who he was. Taya explained, “He is Stella’s brother…” Taya remembered that Stella had mentioned that Eric was her nominal brother, but they didn’t have any blood relation. Their relationship was quite complicated. Harper looked Taya up and down, and a hint of nervousness appeared in her eyes, “Is Stella’s brother interested in you?” It was late at night, and if Stella’s brother came to find Taya with the wrong intentions, it would not end well if it was known by Griffon. Taya smiled and took the milk that the housekeeper brought. She handed it to Harper and replied, “Eric is Stella’s man, don’t think too much about it.” Harper had just taken a sip of milk and almost choked herself. “What?” “Aren’t they siblings?” After teasing Harper, laya laughed and walked out of the villa. “Dr. Sinclair,

    After hanging up the phone, Zack entered Griffon’ car under disguise. “Mr. Griffon, I’ve almost finished investigating the cause of Simon Knight’ death,” said Zack. Griffon put down his phone, feeling tired. He lifted his chin slightly, indicating for Zack to continue. “Simon Knight did die of a sudden brain disease caused by overwork. I’ve carefully followed up with all the doctors,nurses, and everyone who had contact with him, as well as the medication he used. Their accounts are consistent with no discrepancies,” said Zack. Griffon frowned slightly, looking pale and cold. “So you’re saying that Tara is lying?” Zack quickly judged, “Ms. Thorin is probably just trying to protect herself by using Simon Knight’ cause of death.” Griffon recalled the past and felt a headache coming on. He didn’t have the energy to delve into it any further, so he simply waved his hand at Zack. As Zack was getting out of the car, he remembered something and turned back to ask, “Mr. Griffon, did we not per

    The car quickly arrived at Harper’s villa. Taya withdrew her hand from ma*saging Griffon’ temples and suggested, “I’ll accompany you to the hospital tomorrow.” After Griffon nodded lightly, he wrapped his arm around her waist. He lifted his head and kissed her again before reluctantly letting go. “Goodnight…” Taya replied with a “goodnight” before getting out of the car. As she reached to push the villa’s door, she turned around to take one last look. The partially lowered car window revealed a sharp and angular face, as pure and noble as moonlight. Taya smiled slightly at him before turning and walking into the villa… Once the door closed, the man in the car, who had been forcinghimself to sit up, collapsed onto the backseat. “Andre, painkillers.” Andre quickly retrieved the painkillers, raised the divider, and handed them to Griffon. He took them and put them in his mouth. His face turned as pale as a sheet of paper without a trace of color. worry. hay “When did your headache start,

    As they were about to enter the elevator, Harper suddenly appeared in the corridor. “Wait a minute, I have something to tell you guys.” Just now, Harper was only worried about Taya’s health and forgot to tell them the purpose of Johnny’s visit. “Alpha Knight, Taya.” Harper walked up to the two of them and said to them, “Johnny came here to find out about Rosalie’s whereabouts.” Hearing this, Taya quickly motioned for Griffon to put her down. Once she had both her feet on the ground, she frowned and looked at Harper. “Why does he want to know my sister’s whereabouts?” Could it be that Johnny knew her sister? Was that why he said that she looked familiar? “He sounded very angry. It seems like he came to look for trouble.” “Is he my sister’s enemy?” Harper shook her head, expressing that she did not know. “I only know the reason he came here. It’s because he found out that I was the first person you met when you came back from England.This is the place where we met, that’s why he came.”

    Neil received the item from the owner of the goldsmith shop. He originally wanted to give it to Taya and at the same time, show off. Who knew that Alpha Knight would be here! He had such bad luck! The smile on Neil’s face disappeared. “How dare you!” Neil was disappointed when he saw Griffon. How were they going to have fun now that he was here? The designers, who followed behind Neil, froze when they saw Griffon too. The smiles and excitement immediately faded. They did not even dare to enter the door. They stood at the door, pushing and shoving each other. “Hey Neil, after you…” When Neil saw Griffon, he was extremely humble. He waved his hands desperately, “No, no, the young ones should enter first…” Taya glanced at the designers who were afraid to come in, then at Griffon who exuded a terrifying aura. She saioicd in a low ve, “Why don’t you go out first? I’ll take care of things here first before going to the hospital.” Griffon let go of his balled fists, which were clenched due t

    Are you alright?”After Harper finished talking with Preston, she immediately went to the office. She quickly washed up and changed her clothes. When she came out, she overheard Mr. Jenkin’s conversation. He said that Griffon caught Johnny flirting with Taya and that they were fighting downstairs. There were also guns involved. Harper was so frightened that she did not even have time to put on her high heels. She quickly wore her slippers and she rushed down in a hurry with her hair still wet. When Taya heard Harper’s voice, she hurriedly pushed away Griffon, who was about to kiss her, and turned to face Harper who was rushing towards her in a panic. “I’m fine. Be careful, don’t run.” Harper rushed to Taya and quickly examined her just to make sure she was alright. Seeing that she was indeed unharmed, Harper immediately relaxed. “I was scared to death. I thought something happened to you. My heart was literally about to leap out of my chest!” Taya raised her hand and comforted her. “Do

    Griffon hugged Taya tightly as he stared deeply at Johnny with cold, deadly eyes. Griffon grabbed Johnny’s wrist hard, almost squeezing it. If he exerted any more strength, Johnny’s wrist would definitely dislocate. Johnny couldn’t struggle and he became irritated. He glared at Griffon and shouted. You are courting death!” After he finished speaking, he raised his other hand and motioned for his bodyguards to come forward. When Taya, who was nestled in Griffon’ arms, saw the group of bodyguards running towards them, her heart started pounding in his chest. “Griffon, you have to go now.” Listening to the conversation between the two, it was obvious that they knew each other and they had grudges. Griffon did not have any bodyguards with him at this time, so he might not be able to take down Johnny and his team of bodyguards sorry, Griffon suddenly lowered his head and gave her a rea*suring look. “Don’t worry.” As soon as he said those words, he lifted his leg and kicked fiercely at the

    Harper’s heart trembled as she saw the bodyguards’ hands reaching for the back of their waist once again, but she forced herself to stay calm and began to make up nonsense. “She’s in Aronland with Mr. Yardley. If you want to look for her, go to Aronland…” That’s right, he should go ahead and deal with Amon. Harper wanted to see who would come out on top. Upon hearing this, Johnny’s repressed anger burst out of his dark eyes. “I found out that she had returned from Aronland, and the first person she met up with was you, right here!” The first time he came here, he was actually looking for Harper to ask about Rosalie’s whereabouts. However, he was so furious at the waiter that he couldn’t speak. After adjusting his mood, he revisited the place. However, he never expected that Harper would dare to play dumb. This was simply unbearable! He stood up out of the blue, and his tall and burly figure towered Harper, whose height reached his chest despite being in heels. Stare at Harper. “Ms. Du

    Harper smiled coquettishly. “It has nothing to do with you.” Nothing to do with him? Preston had always been a gentleman towards women but at that instant, his face darkened as he spoke. “Harper Duke, are you sure you want to provoke me?” Harper felt that he was reversing right and wrong, and her face also darkened. “Please get it straight. You’re the one who came to provoke me with another woman.” “That’s because you rejected me without thinking the other day! The indignation in Harper’s eyes turned into confusion in no time. Preston had had many women before, but he had never been serious with any of them. He would never lower his status to try to reconcile after breaking up with them. But that night, he hugged her like a pup and nuzzled her neck. “I miss you a little. Please don’t leave me, okay?” She thought he was just talking nonsense due to the alcohol in him, but she never expected him to be serious. Harper was surprised for a moment, but then regained her composure… Regardles
