Filthy rich werewolves by Taylor Caine novel Chapter 52

I stand there, stark still for several seconds and then I start to laugh. That’s what this is about!? Evelyn?

“I have nothing to do with my half-sister. I’m rogue, remember? If you have a problem with Evelyn, take it up with her… I still need to work, so if you could excuse me."

Annabelle replies angrily, "If it weren't for you, why would the projection ads of Sean proposing to Lily have been taken down? You killed Alpha Reed’s fiancée and he's taking it out on Sean and Lily’s packs, and yet you're just fine, casually sweeping the streets here."

Grace was stunned. The thought had not occurred to her that it had been done by Alpha Reed.

Alpha Reed...as a matter of fact, it was also because of him that she was able to escape from Greg the last time.

The Reed Pack is the most powerful and the wealthiest in this entire region. They could have whatever they wanted. Do whatever they wanted.

I found this out the hard way.

In the beginning, when Sean was rushing to break up with me, not a single lawyer in the city was willing to handle my case—not human or wolf.

Wasn’t that also because of Alpha Reed?

All the pain I suffered in prison was ignored by the prison guards, wasn't that also because of him?

Because the person I killed was his fiancée.

There was even a time during my imprisonment when I’d nearly been drowned in the bathroom sink. I can still recall almost suffocating and the fear of death enveloping me—much as it did with Gregory at that awful reunion party.

And the reason behind her treatment in jail was just because someone had heard that the Reed Pack had given orders to punish her there. Those who wanted to curry favor with the Reeds had hastened to stomp on her several more times, torturing her.

I continue to sweep, as if I can metaphorically sweep all these emotions and problems away.

Annabelle snarls and rushes forward to slap me.

Lily stops her.

“Lily!” Annabelle screams. “Grace has no respect for anyone, I want to teach her a lesson!" Annabelle jerks her hand free.

“Why bother?" One corner of Lily's lips suddenly tugs up. "One of my rings has gone missing. I'm not sure if it fell around here and then got swept up like rubbish. It seems like I'll have to trouble the employees of the Sanitation Service Center to help me look for it."

Annabelle is stunned but she immediately snaps out of it. She also smiles and says, "Yeah, they do need to look for it properly. Your ring isn't cheap. They will have to go through all of the garbage in this dumpster lest they miss it."
