Nancy and Lacey couldn’t help but burst out laughing at Dawn’s comment.
Emily’s face reddened in anger. “Hmph! Brace yourselves. This is the last time you’ll be able to mock me. When my husband defeats General Maples later, Zeke will become our loyal follower. When the time comes, I’ll make you slap yourselves first before apologizing to me. Then you’ll surrender Linton Group to me.”
“Hah. You should pray that Julian will not be beaten to death instead,” Dawn uttered.
“Shut your mouth,” Mary cut in. “Mr. Thisleton has defeated General Maples once. He can do it again. I believe that he’ll win and bring glory to Eurasia.”
“Who do you think you are?” Dawn asked. “You’re just a bootlicker who’s not even qualified to speak with us.”
“So what if I am?” Mary laughed. “Ms. Clemons has a respectable status. It’s an honor to be licking her boot. Do you want to know what’s the proudest decision I ever made in my life? It’s leaving Linton Group to join Ms. Clemons. If I were still in Linton Group, I’d still only be an employee there with no progress. I wouldn’t be right here on the island.”
“You’re still unqualified to be here right now.” A rough voice sounded from behind Mary.
She turned to look at the person and didn’t expect to see Sole Wolf, the General North.
Mary’s heart palpitated fearfully as she started to regret everything she said.
During the days of Linton Group’s crisis, she had witnessed how Sole Wolf unhesitatingly killed three law enforcement personnel.
His unreasonable insolence had haunted her ever since.
“What are you waiting for? Get lost,” Sole Wolf coldly uttered.
“I’m the Great Marshal’s attendant. I need to be here to serve his wife,” Mary tried to reason with him as she was unhappy with how things had turned out. “Driving me away automatically means that you’re going against the Great Marshal’s wife.”
Sole Wolf got even angrier when he heard that. In his mind, there was only one person who was worthy of the title of the Great Marshal, and that person was Zeke.
He refused to acknowledge everything Mary said about the Great Marshal and his wife.
“I don’t give a f*** about the sh*tty Great Marshal’s stupid wife.” His reddened eyes glared at Emily. “I’ll kick her out too if she dares to raise a fuss.”
Emily initially intended to defend Mary, but she swallowed her words back when she saw how decisive Sole Wolf was.
If this b*astard really drives me out, it’ll be embarrassing.
Mary froze for a moment. Seems like I’ve overstayed my welcome.
She sighed helplessly and turned to leave.
“Stop right there!” Sole Wolf stopped her.
“Is there something else?” Mary carefully asked.
“I suddenly remembered something. You’re the one who took the lead in betraying Linton Group, right?”
“I... W-what I did was simply changing jobs. That’s not betrayal,” she stuttered.
But Sole Wolf couldn’t be bothered about her reasons as he grabbed her by the collar and threw her out. Mary flew all the way into the ocean from the top of the island.
Sole Wolf despised traitors the most.
The periphery spectators were confused and wondered what happened when they saw someone ‘flew’ from the VIP area straight into the ocean.
“Attaboy, Wolf!” Dawn complimented him triumphantly. “It’s so peaceful now that one of the dogs is gone. It’d be better if you could do the same to the other dog.”
Sole Wolf’s gaze landed on Emily once again, making the latter tremble in shock at the sudden eye contact.
However, it was at this moment that the Eurasia faction suddenly cheered loudly.
