(Sophia’s POV)

I pursed my lips and glanced toward the washroom. Marcus’s footsteps echoed down the corridor as he

cleaned the wine stain from his pants.

My fingers trembled as I reached for his phone on the table. The screen illuminated with an incoming

message.

On the screen, a message from Elena was displayed: “I’m at the Blackthorne Family Grounds, when are you

coming?”

My mind went blank. Had their relationship progressed to the point of meeting the parents? This couldn’t

happen.

The thought of Marcus choosing Elena over me made my chest tighten with panic. I had worked too hard to

lose him now.

Hearing footsteps outside the corridor, I quickly put the phone back in its original position. The next moment,

Marcus pushed the door open and entered.

I looked at him and smiled slightly, forcing my voice to remain steady. “Marcus, can you take Oliver and me

back later?”

Marcus picked up his phone and glanced at the screen. I watched his face carefully, searching for any

reaction to Elena’s message.

He didn’t reply to the message. Instead, he quickly put away his phone with a neutral expression.

“I have pack business to attend to later,” he said flatly. “I’ll have the driver take you.”

My face turned slightly pale. My hands under the table clenched tightly into fists.

He was going to find that she–wolf. The realization hit me like a physical blow.

I lowered my eyes to hide the hatred burning in them. “Or, I’ll drive myself. No need to trouble the driver.”

Marcus paused for a moment. His golden eyes studied my face briefly.

“Okay,” he said faintly.

After lunch, Marcus parted ways with Oliver and me downstairs. He left first without looking back.

I watched his departing car disappear around the corner. A plan suddenly flashed through my mind.

The corners of my lips curved into a cold smile. If Marcus wanted to choose Elena, I would make sure he

regretted that decision.

(Elena’s POV)

At the Blackthorne Family Grounds, everyone was present and waiting. The living room felt ramped with so many relatives gathered together.

Besides Richard and Patricia Blackthorne, there were also the Elder Blackthorne Couple, Grace Blackthorne,
