Chapter 153: Pack Tensions and Professional Bonds

(Katherine’s POV)

Katherine Rivers finally showed a long–lost smile when she heard that Grace Winters had returned safely from her k********g ordeal. “It’s good to be back, it’s good to be back,” she said with relief evident in her amber

eyes.

William Rivers‘ brow relaxed, and he asked, “What did the Winters pack say?”

Connor Rivers‘ expression didn’t change much, and he said calmly, “They didn’t say anything.”

Katherine was stunned. “I’ll go to the Winters estate tomorrow to see Grace, and buy some decent gifts to apologize to Alpha Richard and Luna Natalie. After all, Grace was kidnapped because of our pack.”

Eleanor Rivers snorted coldly, her face showing dissatisfaction. “There’s no need. Isn’t that girl back safe and sound? Nothing happened, so why be so humble?”

“Katherine, you are the Luna of the Rivers pack, your status is there. You have to know that your words and deeds represent the Rivers pack–don’t do things that lower your standing.”

Katherine frowned. “Mother, how can this be considered lowering my standing? If we don’t show proper concern after such a thing happens, that would be outrageous.”

Connor said, “The k********g has caused very serious psychological trauma to Grace, and her mental state is not good now.”

The implication was that Grace Winters was not “back safe and sound” at all, and their Rivers pack had to take responsibility for this matter.

Eleanor’s eyes were full of displeasure. “Isn’t she just frightened? It’s normal for pups to be frightened–it’ll be fine in a few days. Don’t make such a fuss.”

Katherine frowned, looking between Eleanor and Connor, appearing as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.

Connor remained indifferent, as if he hadn’t heard Eleanor’s dismissive remarks, and only turned to Katherine saying, “If you want to visit Grace, you have to contact Alpha Richard or Luna Natalie in advance and ask for their permission. Grace is now receiving psychological treatment at home and may not be able to see

visitors.”

Katherine nodded. “Understood.”

Seeing that she was being ignored, Eleanor’s face darkened, and she said unhappily, “Connor, are you going against your grandmother?”

Connor said, “How could I? It’s your choice that you value pack status and don’t want to visit the Winters family. I can’t control you, can I?”

“Do you really not understand what Lmean, or are you pretending not to understand? I don’t allow you to go to the Winters estate.”

Eleanor then turned to her daughter–in–law Katherine and said, “I don’t allow you to go either!”

Chapter 163 Pack Tead

Mother Katherine looked embarrassed.

“Brother, don’t quarrel with Grandmother…” Vanessa Reed said in a soft voice from her corner.

Connor didn’t even look at Vanessa, stood up and said, “I have pack business to attend to. I’ll leave first

After speaking, he turned and left.

“Brother-“Vanessa called out to Connor’s retreating figure.

“Look at how he behaves now!” Eleanor was furious.

“Mother, then I’ll leave first too.” Katherine looked at Eleanor’s expression, softened her voice and said nicely, “Please calm down.”

Eleanor looked coldly at Katherine. “Calm down? If you don’t anger me, would I need to calm down?”

Katherine felt choked up and sighed silently.

William Rivers, who had always felt powerless in family matters, was even more reluctant to speak since the troublemaker was his illegitimate son Frederick Warner. During Eleanor’s and Connor’s verbal confrontation, William pretended to be deaf and mute, acting as if he hadn’t heard anything.

He took a sip of his tea, said a few token words, and left the tense atmosphere behind.

Olivia asked, “Are you here to discuss the Moonstone Industries case? I was just about to come find you. That case is quite complex, and I want to hear your opinion.”

Olivia paused. “Is it that obvious?”

Chapter 151 Pack Tender

Not for now, Olivia shook her head. “There’s already a psychologist staying at our estate for treatment tit see how effective it is for a while, and if it doesn’t work, I’ll contact you. Thank you, Attorney Sindall*

Adrian’s eyes were gentle as he said, “Why are you being so formal with me?”
