Reborn Omega: Avenge Herself Like an Alpha

21 She Wasn’t Lying

Charles‘ POV

Seeing Aubrey nod, I sncered. This girl really was just as my aunt had said–full of lies!

“Never mind why my aunt would do such a thing: those two werewolves aren’t fools. If the scheme were exposed, they’d face the Alpha’s wrath. Besides, as far as I know, both of their families are wealthy and influential. What could my aunt possibly use to bribe them?”

Aubrey sighed softly. “Of course Aunt couldn’t; but what about my dear sister? If money won’t do, what about… using herself?”

“Absurd!”

I sprang to my feet, scowling, glaring at Aubrey with obvious disapproval.

“Ms. Mary, I know you harbor resentment toward my aunt; after all, very few children get along with their stepmothers. But Bailey is only seventeen! You’re her elder sister–how could you even say such a thing?”

Bailey was so young. How could she possibly be so ruthless, or capable of using her own body to achieve her ends? I refused to believe it.

Aubrey blinked. Faced with my displeasure, she didn’t seem surprised in the least.

“Whether I’m telling the truth, Mr. Charles, you can find out for yourself. After all, those two bastards are being held at the police station, aren’t they?”

“You!” I actually hesitated.

“How strange… there’s none of that accelerated heartbeat she usually has when she’s lying,” my wolf, Soren, remarked with hesitation as well. Soren had a sharp eye for such things. When interrogating criminals, he could always spot the microexpressions that revealed a lie–a skill that had helped me countless times. And now, he was telling me that Aubrey likely wasn’t lying. Meaning her accusations might well be true.

“You’re hesitating because your subconscious already believes me. You’re just denying it because of your feelings for Bailey.

“I must say, for a First Military Academy graduate, your instincts are still quite sharp…”

Aubrey smiled faintly. Though her words sounded like praise, they carried a biting sarcasm that made me bristle.

I furrowed my brows even more.
