Rejected, And Became A Heiress

Please Became 102

Chapter 0102

Alaric's POV

I'm up late again. Working Again

It's no surprise, really. It's practically my new routine wake up, work, ex, wote, ex ein, work again... and so on, every day a continuation and repetition of the last.

"We've heard back from Bloody Moon about the project proposal, Alpha King, sir," John

says to me.

"And?" I ask

"They insist we keep the profit share at 50% for each pack. From what I understand, the Bloody Moon Alpha King demands that each pack receive an equal share," John says.

I should have known that Eamon would not change his mind. So much for me trying to do a good thing

Any other King would be all too happy to get more than their fair share of the profits, but not Eamon. Of course he's too noble to take an unequal share.

"And about the other matter you asked me to investigate, about the man seen with Ms. Cara Wilson outside of the science competition?" John adds. "Yes?"

"It was Matthew Bedford, just as you thought, sir."

"Thank you, John," I reply, satisfied that I had guessed correctly. I thought he looked familiar, but I'm attending to so many matters these days, learning so many new names and faces that it can be challenging to keep them all straight.

I consider the family idly aloud, "The Bedfords..." The name is very familiar, but I can't recall specific details about them.

"One of our noble families, but only added to the noble class within the last couple of decades. There are the siblings Matthew and Melinda. Their father struck gold on a good investment deal and then married into a noble family," John says, refreshing my memory about the Bedford family's turmoiled past.

"Ah, yes. That's what has all the other families mistrusting the Bedfords. They are always slow to accept new additions to their ranks..." I trail off, recalling several instances of nobles using their status to look down upon lower born members of the pack.

"Some within our ranks felt that the Bedford family acted a little too entitled the wealth and status that they has gained. The family didn't participate in council meetings, wouldn't help with pack business." John says.

The Bedfords only wanted their great wealth and power, but none of the responsibility that comes along with it. Our older noble families had sensed
