A Female Alpha’s Revenge (Adelaide) novel Chapter 886

Chapter 886

Third Person’s POV

Paisley’s aura spiraled past the breaking point, pure rage taking over. Coarse fur slowly spread across the backs of her h her fangs pierced her lower lip.

“So what are we supposed to do?” she growled. “Just sit back and watch Gideon ruin one daughter’s life after another? F promotion and a little bit of power, I’d bet he’d do anything. And there’s one thing i don’t understand. Why was he so set Sophie die? By his twisted rules, shouldn’t he have kept her around to cozy up to other high-ranking officials…

She stopped mid-sentence, braced herself against the table, and gagged.

“Forget it. I can’t even bring myself to say the rest.”

Lance picked up his fork and managed two bites of steak. Then his appetite disappeared completely.

Setting down his fork, he replied, “Because he had no idea who assaulted Sophie. If the rumors kept spreading through New the story would only grow more twisted with every retelling. He was afraid people would eventually know about his scheme his daughter. So he decided Sophie had to die. Once she was gone, no one could ever use the truth against him.”

Paisley’s nostrils flared. Her eyes went black, split by vertical pupils.

“So there’s really nothing we can do? We’re just supposed to let Sophie spend the rest of her life in agony?” she asked. “And Ly Erasmus is fine with someone like Gideon in his court? What about Cyrus? Isn’t the head of the Royal Council supposed to do something?”

Lance glanced at Adelaide, then replied, “The Ministry of Justice could investigate him at any time.

“But if we don’t want to drag Sophie into this, we’d have to investigate him for something else. He’s just a clerk doing basic admi work. He doesn’t have the power to embezzle, let alone pull off anything bigger.”

He thought for a moment before continuing.

“The King despises anyone with questionable morals, which gives us an opening. But from what I know, Gideon’s record York political circles is spotless. He isn’t a womanizer, and he’s built a respectable public image. The worst thing he his daughter-and before that, his own sister-for opportunities to climb the political ladder.”

“So that leaves us with only two options,” Paisley said, thinking aloud.

“Either we bring Sophie into this-which isn’t happening or we frame him.”

Cracking her knuckles, Adelaide lifted her eyes to Paisley Her scent was different now-hardened sharp as tempered steel.

“There’s a third option. I could beat him until he’s paralyzet from the waist down, He’d stopped of his authority, forced to live at the mercy of his mate and nighters.”

Paisley burst out laughing. “Exactly. Let’s eat.”

Adelaide took a few bites, then paused again.

“And the bastard who assaulted Sophie…” she began. “I’m finding him top. I’ll have the Capital Guard investigate.”

“Great,” Paisley said immediately. “You go after that asshole. I’ll deal with that bastard Gideon

She never showed the slightest mercy to sons of bitches like Gideon.

Lance spoke up.

“I hear the hot spring resort outside the city belongs to Marcus Carver, the man behind the Nightshade Club. You should talk first. If he cooperates, the Capital Guard can step in with full authority.”

Adelaide’s eyes lit up with understanding. “Alright, I will.”

She needed a legitimate reason to review the list of everyone who had entered and left the resort during that period. For examp if a guest had reported valuable jewelry missing around the same time…

Then the Capital Guard would have every reason to investigate without alerting the real target.

Adelaide looked at Lance with admiration. Having spent years in the Ministry of Justice, he understood the inner workings of the legal system far better than most officials ever could.

After dinner, Adelaide and Paisley quickly settled on a plan: investigate first, act later, and for now, leave Gideon completely

unaware.

Paisley had lost control earlier, but now that she’d calmed down, she started worrying about Adelaide.

“You hold a high position in New York. Isn’t this too risky?” she said. “What if you get caught and removed from office

“I understand your concern,” Adelaide replied. “But I can’t think of a better solution right now.

“I don’t want to see Sophie’s younger sisters suffer the same fate.
