Chapter 167: She’s betraying her mate bond!

(Elena Blackwood’s POV)

Adrian and I entered the master suite where a pack servant informed us that Mother had fallen asleep again shortly after finishing her porridge. I approached the bed carefully and tucked the blanket around Dorothea’s sleeping form.

Looking at her peaceful face, I realized with emotional clarity that my biological mother had never abandoned me. The thought brought tears to my eyes as my nose tingled with overwhelming emotion.

Adrian instructed the servant quietly, “Elena is our true young miss.”

The servant nodded readily. “I understand, Young Master. To be honest, we never liked that Sandy Parker

anyway.”

After the servant left, Adrian questioned me directly. “Why did you agree to let Sandy Parker stay?”

I explained my reasoning carefully. “Her surprised reaction upon seeing me seemed as if I shouldn’t have appeared at all. It made me suspicious about whether the car accident might be connected to her.”

“Though I’m uncertain, I decided to keep her close to test her,” I continued.

Adrian’s expression grew serious. “I’ll help you stay alert to any suspicious behavior.”

When I went downstairs, Sandy Parker was waiting at the staircase. She attempted to reconcile by approaching me with feigned humility.

“Elena, I apologize for my previous misunderstanding,” she said sweetly. “Please forgive me magnanimously.”

I looked at her directly and refused bluntly. “No.”

Sandy protested with wounded innocence. “But I already apologized!”

“Does an apology obligate me to accept it?” I questioned coldly.

As I walked away, Sandy muttered through gritted teeth, “Why won’t you just die…”

I heard the comment clearly and turned back. “What did you say?”

Startled that I hadn’t actually left, Sandy feigned innocence. “I didn’t say anything.”
