The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King

Chapter 166

Christian linked his cousin after glancing at the infuriated Mrs Whitlaw, ‘Looks like things are going to get interesting from here, cuz. Someone seems to be hiding a mistress, and the wife looks pissed.’

‘I did not see that coming.’Xandar linked in response as his surprised eyes met those of his second-in-command.

Christian linked in excitement, ‘Tell me about it! I can’t believe I was a background character of a Whitlaw soap opera that I didn’t know about!

Xandar raised his eyebrows as he linked, ‘Background character? Christian, we’re probably the antagonists in his story.’

‘Hm.’Christian contemplated for a moment and had to agree, ‘You do make a good villain, cuz I’m only second to you after all.’

Xandar protested, ‘Okay, that’s just unfair, Christian. My mate is way more lethal than I am when it comes to Whitlaw and the others. And she was the one who led us to the audits for Whitlaw’s current downfall. This adorable creature seated between us right now is the most qualified one to lead the villains here. If anything, I’m only her loyal henchman.’

Christian pictured the image Xandar just described to him. When his imaginative mind added fiery flames behind Lucianne, and Xandar by her side awaiting orders, the Duke had to cover his mouth as he linked, ‘Cuz, if I laugh and Annie throws a fit, I’m going t o kill you.’ Xandar decided to play it safe and ended their link as he hid his own smile in his mate’s hair.

Pierre Whitlaw’s lips quivered, making the increasingly-impatient prosecutor ask, “Have you made any transactions to Zina Pova, M I Whitlaw?”

“I-L…” he fumbled over his words as Mrs Whitlaw’s onyx eyes threw daggers into her husband’s alarming ones. He tried to persuade her to not attend trial but she insisted on coming along to show support. So, Pierre hatched a plan with Clark to ask for an adjournment to get rid of Mrs Whitlaw, by asking her to go home to fetch something for him. This plan obviously backfired.

The prosecutor sighed as she began again, “Do you know Zina Pova, Mr Whitlaw?” Mrs Whitlaw decided that she had heard enough. Taking her five-figure handbag, she got up from her seat and left the courtroom as the minister yelled out a desperate, “Camille!”

The murmurs and chatters took a little more time to be silenced by Judge Cook. When everyone’s eyes returned to Whitlaw on the stand, he muttered, “I-I…Y-Yes.”

“She received a significant sum over the years. Why is that?”

Whitlaw’s whisper wouldn’t have been heard if it weren’t for the Lycans’ sharp hearing when the minister said, “She’s the mother o fmy biological daughter.”
