“Send someone to Lillian’s hospital room and replace Finn’s people,” I said, my voice tight with

restraint.

Honestly, what did Lillian have to do with Finn? Did he need his own people watching over her in the hospital?

Thomas replied, “Understood, I’ll arrange it right away.”

I hung up the call.

Rubbing my throbbing temples, I heard a knock at the door a short while later. It was another assistant from outside.

in,” I said.

ne office door opened.

A young, sweet–faced female secretary said respectfully, “Alpha Julian, Mr. Webb is here.”

Seeing an unfamiliar female secretary, my brow furrowed. Didn’t Thomas know that the Alpha’s executive suite didn’t use female secretaries?

Liam stepped out from behind the secretary. “Julian.”

“Come in.”

Since Liam was here, I let it go for now.

Liam entered, and the sweet–faced secretary closed the door respectfully behind him. He walked over to me carrying a file.

He sat down across from me and handed me the file. “My grandfather asked me to bring this. Take a look.”

I scoffed. “Your grandfather is quite cunning.”

Liam said, “He’s just counting on our friendship, hoping for special treatment from you.”

My face darkened immediately.

All my pack members knew my rules. So before I could even speak, Liam added, “Don’t worry about my feelings. Handle it however you see fit. I just wanted my grandfather to know I came by.”

I asked, “That direct? Aren’t you afraid he’ll punish you for it?”

Liam shrugged. “Haven’t I been punished enough by him over the years? One more time won’t make a difference!”

That was his grandfather’s problem. Instead of focusing on improving the pack’s productivity, he always messed around with these underhanded tactics.

I lit a cigarette and slid the pack directly toward Liam.

Liam could see how agitated I was. “What’s wrong? Is Lillian being particularly hard to win over this time?”

was a hint of teasing in Liam’s tone. I knew what my pack members thought–that I’d ded with Lillian precisely because she had no pack background, was easy to control, and was docile and obedient.

But this docile, seemingly harmless little wolf…

Her counterattack this time was anything but gentle…

Hearing even Liam tease me, my irritation grew. “What do you make of Finn’s attitude toward her?”

Third–Person POV:

At the mention of Finn, Liam’s expression stiffened slightly.

He’d heard too–how Finn had flown back from a neighboring city early this morning to rescue Lillian at Inkwood Gardens!

That attitude… was definitely not normal.

Not to mention, Finn’s methods were no less formidable than Julian’s.

There was no denying it now–with Finn’s current attitude toward Lillian, Julian had truly hit a hard wall.

Seeing Liam fall silent, Julian’s eyes grew even colder. “What? You think there’s a problem too?”

Chapter 78 Taking Control

Liam asked, “Do you want the honest truth?”

Julian said, “Go ahead.”

:

Liam replied. “It’s mainly that you haven’t been good to Lillian!”

The atmosphere in the office instantly plunged into an icy chill.

Julian’s expression turned dark and terrifying.

“I haven’t been good to her?”

Hearing someone say he hadn’t been good to Lillian suddenly filled Julian with anger.

How had he not been good to her?

Hadn’t he bought her all sorts of nice things over the years? Whenever he traveled, hadn’t he always thought to bring her something?

Wait… the things he’d bought her… At this thought, Julian’s face grew even gloomier.

Liam said, “Women need genuine attention, not just going through the motions.”

Julian retorted, “You think I’ve just been going through the motions with her?”

Liam backpedaled, “I didn’t say that.”

Seeing Julian’s expression worsen, Liam hardly dared to accuse him of being insincere.

Liam added, “But Lillian is accepting Finn’s care now, isn’t she?”

He personally felt Finn’s actions were inappropriate, given that Lillian and Julian were still officially mated.

But the fact that Finn was now disregarding that completely represented the greatest crisis for Julian.

Julian’s expression grew darker by the second!

Liam continued, “I heard everything from Victor about what happened at Inkwood Gardens this morning. How come it wasn’t you who took Lillian to the hospital?”

That question hit the mark with painful precision!
