Chapter 80: Who dares to bully my Sweetheart!

(Elena’s POV)

“Who dares to bully my Sweetheart!”

The sharp cry pierced through the shopping plaza like a battle horn. Dorothea Whitmore rushed out of the Enchanted Doll Boutique, her eyes blazing with protective fury.

She hurled Comfort Doll in her hand directly at Diana Blackwood and Isabella Blackwood. The soft toy struck Diana’s shoulder with surprising force.

“Bad women! Bad women!” Dorothea shouted, her voice carrying the innocent rage of a child protecting

someone precious.

“Miss Blackwood,” his voice carried deadly calm. “I suggest you show proper respect to my mother.”

The Alpha authority radiating from him was suffocating. Isabella took an involuntary step backward,

“Regardless of your family’s status,” Adrian continued, each word precisely enunciated, “you will not insult my mother in my presence.”

My blood turned to ice as realization crashed over me. This beautiful, childlike woman was the legendary Dorothea Whitmore.

I had heard whispers about her throughout the Northern Territory’s elite circles. The Luna whose beauty was matched only by her tragic mental condition.

My mother stood frozen beside me, her eyes wide with recognition. Even she, who prided herself on social connections, had never seen Dorothea Whitmore in person.

Despite being in her late forties, Dorothea possessed an otherworldly beauty that age couldn’t diminish. Her

bone structure was exquisite, her skin luminous.

But it was the stories surrounding her that made my knees weak. The devoted mate Samuel Whitmore who would move mountains for her smile. The son who treated her like precious porcelain.

And most terrifying of all, the wealthy Alpha Louis Hill who had mysteriously vanished after attempting to take advantage of her vulnerability. No one spoke of what happened to him, but everyone understood the
