Chapter 157: Reason Behind Actions

Everyone in the room was lost in their own thoughts and calculations. After a long silence, George Greymoore finally spoke.

"Alistair, what exactly do you know about this girl... Fiona’s successor?"

Alistair hesitated. "Her name is Eleanor Elizabeth Raynor. She awakened their ancestral bloodline five years ago. After that, the Raynor Clan publicly introduced her as their Young Miss. She began appearing at various events, always with Fiona. But three years ago, she moved to the United States and started her own business. Since then, she’s mostly stayed there. A few months ago, she returned to the Kingdom and opened a new office in Manchester."

He added, "Over the past three years, she avoided all social gatherings except for business-related ones. Fiona has been handling supernatural events and meetings on her own since Eleanor’s second year abroad."

George narrowed his eyes. "You’re missing my point. I don’t want surface-level facts. Who are her parents? What was her upbringing like? How did she behave as a werewolf? What was she doing before Fiona named her successor? Do you know anything about that?"

Alistair lowered his head. "No, Grand Elder. I don’t have detailed information about her early life. But Margot gathered some intelligence when Eleanor began making waves in the U.S. She’s outside now."

George nodded. "Call her in."

Alistair walked over to the door, opened it slightly, and called for Margot Greymoore. She had arrived from Canada just hours earlier to attend the emergency meeting.

A few moments later, a beautiful middle-aged woman entered the room and gave a respectful bow.

"Margot Greymoore pays her respects to the Elders."

Alistair closed the door behind her to ensure their conversation remained private.

George got straight to the point. "Margot, what do you know about Eleanor Raynor?"
