Chapter 382: Taking Down the Master Before the Dog

(Natasha’s POV)

I looked at Amelia’s side profile with absolute awe. The pale winter light cast a faint golden edge around

her slender figure.

She looked more dazzling than any legendary female warrior from the old tales. I couldn’t admire my

cousin–in–law more if I tried.

Theodore was incredibly lucky to be chosen by someone as brilliant and ruthless as her. I was already

impatient to book my ticket for her next performance.

“Amelia, remember to call me next time there is a good show!” I chirped excitedly, unable to hide my grin.

Amelia smiled softly at my enthusiasm, her sapphire eyes sparkling. “Alright, I will deal with Lucas in three days, and I will need your help,”

“I’ve got you covered!” I patted my chest confidently, feeling a surge of pride.

I winked at her and added playfully, “I even bought the dog leash already. It is a limited edition with studs!”

Amelia laughed out loud at my ridiculous words, the sound clear and bright in the cold air. “Good taste.”

“Of course, it must be worth watching!” I boasted proudly, thrilled to be part of her plans.

Just then, Amelia’s phone rang sharply in the crisp winter air. The caller ID showed it was Silas calling her.

I tactfully tucked my hands into my warm coat pockets. I trotted back to the warmth of the car in small

steps to wait for her.

(Amelia’s POV)

I answered the phone immediately, my demeanor shifting back to pure business. Silas quickly reported the

results of the recent interrogation.

The hired killer was tough as nails, possessing a terrifying level of endurance. He had endured all conventional interrogation methods and moonlight potion torture without breaking.

Even on the brink of death, he absolutely refused to admit that Griffin had hired him.

What made things even more difficult was his communication device. All trace data had been completely wiped clean by a professional hacker.

It was utterly impossible to trace the origin of his orders. I pondered this frustrating setback for a moment.

in silence, my mind racing.

I realized this killer was truly a tough nut to crack. We could not directly prove Griffin was his employer

right now.

I decisively ordered Silas to stop the interrogation immediately, refusing to waste any more time. Vie

would hand the broken man over to the police instead.

He would serve as solid evidence for Adrian’s accusation, adding another layer of misery to the Drake

Pack’s downfall.

After parting ways with Natasha, I went straight to the Starlight Entertainment headquarters.

The stock prices of the Drake Pack’s affiliated companies were currently in absolute freefall. The red

charts looked like rocks plummeting off a steep cliff.

Their nighttime entertainment venue, Night City, suffered the most disastrous drop of all. Anya, my secretary, hurried into my office to report the latest updates.

She informed me that Director Liam’s casting process would conclude early next month. However, a deep

frown wrinkled her usually smooth forehead.

She was extremely worried that the negative news surrounding Wayne and Jasper would severely affect the project. I maintained a perfectly calm and collected expression, unbothered by the chaos.

I instructed her to release a formal clarification statement simultaneously with the final casting list. We would turn this massive public pressure into a powerful promotional boost for the show.

My confident words made Anya sigh in profound relief. The heavy worries that had been gnawing at her mind finally dissipated completely.

She bowed respectfully and left my office to execute my precise orders. I then opened my computer browser to check the trending searches across major social platforms.

I carefully calculated the next move of the mysterious big shot backing the Drake Pack. I was not afraid of

them taking direct action against me.

Instead, I was far more worried about them lying low in the shadows. That cowardice would leave me with no opening to leverage against them.

At noon, I walked into Theodore’s spacious office carrying my medical box. Theodore looked up and set his digital tablet down on the mahogany desk.

The screen clearly displayed live footage of Matriarch Octavia being escorted into a police car. Theodore gestured toward the screen to explain the developing situation.

The Night City drugging incident had caused over fifty guests to completely lose control and misbehave publicly. The social impact of this massive scandal was extremely severe.

Furthermore, the on–site surveillance footage could not rule out the direct involvement of internal staff. Matriarch Octavia had immediately stepped forward to confess to the crime herself.

She was taken away by the police in handcuffs and was expected to face at least a five–year prison sentence. I let out a cold, mocking sneer at the screen.

Chapter 382 Taking Down the Master Before the Dog

I truly did not expect this proud old lady to personally take the fall for her wretched family. A five–year sentence was indeed far too light for her numerous crimes.

But given her advanced age, she would likely hear the news of the Drake Packs total bankruptcy while sitting behind bars. She probably would not survive until her release day anyway.

Theodore raised his intense golden eyes to meet my gaze. His tone was perfectly calm but carried a deeply meaningful edge.

He pointed out how the Drake Pack had managed to rapidly rehabilitate their reputation in just a few short years. They had climbed into the ranks of top–tier wealthy families with highly suspicious speed.

This was entirely because a very powerful figure was heavily supporting them from the shadows,

A dangerous smile slowly curled the corners of my mouth. I revealed that this mysterious big shot likely had some hidden connection with Wayne.

This was the exact reason why I had firmly insisted on Wayne playing the male lead in our new series. Theodore fell silent for a long moment, processing my words.

He quickly realized that I was deliberately drawing a battle line right in the middle of their territory. He nodded slowly, acknowledging the brilliant and deadly trap I had set.

He also admitted that this big shot had received massive financial benefits from the Drake Pack over the years. This deep corruption was the fundamental reason the Crimson Moon Pack had struggled to completely bring them down.

The opponent held far too many counter–leverage chips in their greasy hands. I chuckled softly as I opened the warm lunch box I had brought for him.

Now that he had me by his side, we could absolutely join forces to completely destroy the Drake Pack. I paused my movements and looked up into his handsome face.

“Besides, you gave me a very sincere birthday gift,” I told him softly. “I naturally have to return a grand gift

to you.”

Theodore’s lips curled upward into a genuine, breathtaking smile. He happily accepted my bold promise

without a single doubt.

We finished our lunch in a comfortable, companionable silence. I then proceeded to administer his daily acupuncture treatment with practiced precision.

After removing the medical needles, I let Green and White crawl over his legs to provide a relaxing massage. I leaned back comfortably against the soft leather sofa.

I pulled out my phone to scroll through the latest news and comments regarding Matriarch Octavia’s sudden confession. Netizens were absolutely shocked by the dramatic development.

They could not believe the formidable old lady had personally taken the fall to protect her cowardly grandson Griffin. The comment sections were buzzing with intense, non–stop speculation.

Chapter 382 Talang Down the Master Before the Dog

People eagerly discussed the impending fate of the remaining Drake Pack members. They were also heavily invested in the progress of Adrian accusing Griffin of hiring a killer to murder his wife.

The overwhelming sentiment online was highly satisfying to read. Everyone wanted to see the arrogant

Drake family fall from grace.

As I scrolled, I noticed someone in the comments mentioning Lucas and the public bet he had made with me. I immediately exited the news page with a smirk.

I opened the elite pack group chat on my messaging app. I typed out a message and directly tagged Lucas for everyone in the pack to see.

[Lucas, look how nice I am to you–others beat the dog first, then the master, but I do the exact opposite. I took down your Alpha first. Now it’s your turn, mutt.]
