Chapter 131: The Web Tightens
(Frederick’s POV)
Speaking of which, it was also a coincidence that when I took the female werewolf I was supporting to Moonlight Jewelers to buy jewelry some time ago, I caught the eye of a saleswoman,
As a notorious Alpha who collected female companions, I always sought to get any attractive shewolf into my bed. It was simply my nature.
At Moonlight Jewelers, I spent over two million buying a necklace for my companion, flaunting my wealth as usual. The saleswoman’s eyes had followed my every move with obvious interest.
While the she–wolf was in the restroom, I approached the saleswoman. “What’s your name, beautiful?” “Amber Sterling.” she replied with a coy smile, her fingers playing with her hair.
I asked for her contact information, and we ended up in bed that very night. She was eager and willing, just like all the others.
On Valentine’s Day, I met with Amber at our usual hotel. The afternoon sunlight filtered through the expensive curtains as we lay tangled in silk sheets.
Afterwards, I threw a bank card onto the nightstand. “Happy Valentine’s Day, baby. Take it and spend it
however you like.”
Amber smiled and accepted the card, running her fingers along its platinum surface. Then she said. something that caught my attention
“You never bother to choose a gift for me. You only give me money.”
I raised an eyebrow, already reaching for my cigarettes. “Money isn’t enough for you?”
“Today, a man at the store bought a limited edition Valentine’s necklace for nearly ten million for his girlfriend,” she continued. “I’m so envious. He must really love his girlfriend.”
I scoffed and leaned against the headboard, lighting my cigarette. The smoke curled between us as I replied
coldly.
“There’s over a million in that card. Buy whatever you want. You only need money. Why yearn for love?” The coldness in my tone was palpable. These women were all the same – always wanting more than what they deserved.
Amber leaned over and rested her head on my chest. “I was just saying.”
I flicked the ash from my cigarette, watching it fall onto the expensive carpet. “Don’t mention the word “love” again.”
“I know,” she whispered against my skin.
I didn’t dwell on the matter at the time. After Valentine’s Day, Connor Rivers began investigating me more intensely than ever before.
Even a small oversight from Malcolm Wilson was immediately seized upon by Connor’s people. Soon,

Malcolm and his companies were apprehended by the authorities.
After losing so much manpower and resources to Connor, I decided to target those around him instead: Mo Initial target was the actress rumored to be with him.
But Vanessa Reed informed me that Layla Lawrence was Connor’s distant cousin. Their relationship was merely for publicity.
Upon hearing this, I recalled Olivia Winters‘ heartbroken state after her breakup with Connor. The way she cursed Connor for being heartless and abandoning her didn’t seem like acting.
It seemed she was unaware of the actress’s true relationship with Connor. Considering the timing of their breakup, shortly after Richard Winters‘ accident, I realized something.
I might have been fooled by Connor all along.
Remembering Amber’s words on Valentine’s Day about someone spending nearly ten million on a necklace for his girlfriend, I suspected it had something to do with Olivia Winters.
I called Amber immediately. “That man who bought the expensive necklace on Valentine’s Day – tell me about
him.”
“He looked to be in his thirties, about 57“, slender build,” Amber replied. “His surname was Langley.”
“Connor Rivers, you love her so much. Would you be willing to trade your life for hers?”

My vision went red. My eyes bloodshot, I grabbed Natalie by the collar and lifted her up.
