Single Mother of a Werewolf Baby

Chapter 142: House of Lords

Three days had passed since the Stockport Scandal erupted across headlines and social media feeds. Yet despite their relentless efforts, the Greymoore Clan found no evidence that could be traced back to the Raynor Clan. Surprisingly, all Raynor members had remained stationed at their respective posts during that dreadful night. Even the activities of the Blanc Clan were scrutinized, but investigators came up empty-handed.

Eleanor had anticipated this scenario long before executing her plan. She had meticulously arranged for all her shadow guards who worked the Stockport operation to travel exclusively in helicopters and cars owned or rented through Edward Miller, chairman of the Miller Group. It wasn’t just a safety measure... it was a calculated move. The Millers, too, stood to benefit from the operation’s outcome.

She had even taken Edward Miller with her when she visited Mayor Grant a day before the scandal broke. With the sudden downfall of the Brown family, Eleanor made sure the Miller Group would have the opportunity to enter Stockport and fill the resulting power vacuum. Edward’s patience and loyalty were now bearing fruit.

Although both Edward Miller and Mayor Grant had some idea of what was coming, neither of them had foreseen the sheer scale of the takedown. The coordinated arrests, the media frenzy, the public outrage... it was beyond anything they imagined. While they didn’t know Eleanor’s exact plans regarding the appointment of the next Prime Minister, the signs were becoming harder to ignore. Her people were becoming increasingly active in the capital, and it was clear that the Eleanor’s influence was rising swiftly. Edward Miller knew all first hand because all Eleanor’s people used vehicles from his company.

The Brown family, once untouchable, had crumbled under the weight of the scandal. Their assets were frozen, their companies placed under government scrutiny, and the media relentlessly painted them as a criminal organization. Oliver Brown, along with his longtime secretary, had vanished. Police searched frantically for him, but no clues had surfaced. Everyone assumed he had fled with help from the opposition party members caught in the scandal.

Unbeknownst to the authorities, Oliver and his secretary had both been quietly eliminated on the very night of the incident by guards from Clan Blanc. After extracting every piece of useful information from them, they were silenced. Eleanor’s shadow team raided Oliver’s hidden vault and retrieved an enormous hoard of gold and diamonds, along with sensitive documents for future use.

Eleanor, never one to hoard ill-gotten wealth, gifted all the retrieved gold and diamonds to the Blanc Clan for their internal development. The act stunned Clan Head Dominic Blanc, who was so surprised by the unexpected fortune that he immediately called Fiona Raynor to confirm if it was truly a gift.

Fiona, unaware of the details, simply replied, "If Eleanor gave it to you, then you should keep it. After all, it wasn’t Raynor Clan money. That wealth was looted from humans. It’s better used for your clan’s future."

During the interrogation phase of the mission, Eleanor’s team uncovered several offshore accounts in Oliver’s name, holding more than ten billion dollars. Without hesitation, Eleanor transferred the entire sum to a secure account belonging to Anastasiya Ivanova in Russia, the beloved granddaughter of Lord Alexander Ivanov. Anastasiya was currently living in Eleanor’s villa area, along with Teresa and Cassandra. The money would serve as a major investment for the joint project Anastasiya and Lily were developing.

Laila Hasanović, a former member of the Imperial Haven... had now been given a new identity: Laila Monroe. She had officially joined Eleanor’s security team. As a woman, she was permitted to board Eleanor’s car and acted as her aide when Teresa wasn’t available. Laila proved especially helpful in managing protocols and security logistics for Eleanor’s increasing busy schedules.
