The Female Alpha’s Sanctuary

Chapter 278

Third Person’s POV

“Is that all?” Adelaide sneered. “I asked for the truth. If you hide anything, you’ll taste this poker.

The red–hot poker was thrust right before Manager Johnson, who screamed and fell to the floor. Ill talk! I’ll talk!”

Adelaide coldly warned, “Tell the truth. One lic, and you’ll swallow this poker.

Staring at the glowing poker, Johnson prostrated himself and confessed, “Luna Adelaide, Wanda said to pin the blame on Priscilla when trouble hit. Since Priscilla is Alpha Lance’s mother, she can take the heat. Then Madison would step in to arrange compensation using the store’s cheap inventory…

He hesitated mid–speech.

Adelaide cut in, “So Madison feigns virtue to win public favor, while Priscilla and the Blackthorn Pack are labeled as villains. The compensation is all subpar goods–nearly costless. They make a profit and gain a good reputation.”

Johnson’s face drained of color, his silence confirming Adelaide’s deduction.

Adelaide had Johnson taken away and sneered, “Climbing up by trampling on Priscilla and the Blackthorn Pack–seeking public support while courting nobility. Ralph, what do you think she’s after?”

Ralph pondered, “I’m not sure.”

She was a princess, with Lycan Erasmus as her nephew–her status was secure. What more could she want?

Adelaide was also puzzled. Perhaps it wasn’t just about Wanda consolidating power in the capital?

Regardless, since they targeted Priscilla and the Blackthorn Pack, they wouldn’t let things go their way.

Adelaide had the accounts calculate the total investment, Priscilla’s historical contributions, and profits at a

70% stake.

Then Adelaide changed into a lake–blue embroidered dress, donned a black cloak, tucked her whip into her waist, and pulled the hood over her face.
