answer.
Vera kept calling Jason, but he wouldn’t answer.
Henry’s face was grim. “You shouldn’t have been manipulated by that vixen from the Cooper family. Otherwise, none of this would have happened. Now, not only have we been slapped in the face, but the company has suffered massive losses. Why do I have such a stupid partner?”
Vera was already angry and frustrated. She had been scolded all day, her son treated her like an enemy, and now her partner was Scolding her. She lost it.
‘Yes, I’m stupid. Why don’t you just find a smarter partner? Oh right, you have one. Isn’t that vixer, Ella Robinson, always with you abroad? Why don’t you just bring that bitch and her bastard into the Shaw family? Let them be the Mrs. Shaw and the young
Master Shaw!”
‘Slap!”
Henry angrily slapped her across the face.“Who are you calling a vixen and a bastard?”
Vera hadn’t expected him to hit her; she was stunned. She covered her face, her laughter chilling. “I’m not as free and unrestrained as Sophia. What did I get after turning a blind eye for over twenty years? I’m a werewolf! I’ve tolerated watching my bonded partner be lovey–dovey with someone else for over twenty years! What more do you expect me to do?! Only you and her frolicking abroad while I stayed home alone! Now you call me stupid? I am stupid, I really am.”
She said dejectedly, walking upstairs.
‘Vera…”
Henry regretted hitting her. They had maintained a peaceful life for so many years. He shouldn’t have provoked her.
As soon as Vera entered her room, Tanner’s call came, like a death knell. She had already hung up several times downstairs, but Tanner relentlessly called again. She locked the door and answered, “Instead of harassing me, you should be thinking about how to
deal with the current situation!”
T’anner’s voice was as chilling as a ghost’s.“What’s there to be afraid of? She overturned your evidence; does that mean everyone will believe her? I have plenty of ways to muddy the waters. I’m not here for that. I’m here to tell you, if Jason doesn’t agree to bond with me, the next explosion will be yours.”

Vera’s hand trembled, dropping the phone. She slumped to the floor. She picked up the phone, suppressing her fear and anger, “I did everything you asked! Now the whole Shaw Family treats me like a criminal; I’m`already miserable! And a you can see, I can’t control Jason at all. He won’t listen to a word I say!”
Tanner: “I don’t care. I’ll give you one week.”
Then she hung up.
Vera sat paralyzed on the floor, feeling as if she had fallen into an ice cave. She tried to get up, but slid back down. Tears welled up n her wolf’s eyes, and her body was drenched in cold sweat. If Henry found out about that matter, he might use it as an excuse to >ring that mother and son into the Shaw family, to seize what was his son’s.
‘NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT! THE SHAW FAMILY IS JASON’S FAMILY!”
Over the next two days, the online battle raged on.
Initially, most people found my reply very convincing and credible. But slowly, dissenting voices began to emerge. Anonymous netizens claiming to be Horizon Group employees said I was a drama queen, that my demeanor in the video was contrived, and that the airport incident revealed my true nature, warning people not to be fooled.
