Chapter 198: Confrontation at the Clubhouse

(Third person’s POV)

In the private room at Moonlight Elite Club, Cassandra Evans froze like a statue when she saw Connor Rivers sitting in the center position of the sofa. Her face turned pale as death, and her entire body trembled with

terror.

Connor hadn’t looked toward the door yet, his attention focused on the conversation with his companions. But Maxwell Thornfield noticed Cassandra’s strange behavior immediately.

“Why won’t you move forward?” Maxwell asked, confusion evident in his voice. He grabbed her arm firmly. ” Remember what we discussed about going abroad?”

The commotion drew attention from everyone in the room. Someone recognized Cassandra and shouted in surprise.

“Maxwell, why did you bring her here?” The voice carried obvious disgust. “Don’t you know what she did to Olivia Winters?”

Cassandra’s reputation for slandering Olivia online and inciting fans to cyberbully her had made her notorious among Harbor City’s wealthy werewolf circles. No one wanted to associate with someone who had attacked the future Luna of the Rivers pack.

When Connor heard Cassandra’s name, he looked up with eyes like sharp blades. His gaze flashed with terrifying Alpha coldness that made the temperature in the room drop several degrees.

Cassandra’s heart trembled violently. Her spine went numb as she realized she could no longer escape this confrontation.

Samuel Harrison’s face darkened as understanding dawned on him. The “friend” Maxwell had asked him to help smuggle abroad was actually Cassandra Evans.

“Maxwell,” Samuel’s voice carried barely controlled anger. “You didn’t tell me your friend was her.”

Maxwell belonged to the same social circle as Cassandra and Ethan Grey. He naturally knew about the feud between Cassandra and Olivia, but he was unaware of Samuel’s connection to Connor Rivers.

“What’s the problem?” Maxwell asked defensively. “She just needs passage abroad.”

Connor’s voice cut through the tension like ice. “Bring her over.”

His Alpha authority made the command impossible to ignore. The power radiating from him forced submission from every werewolf in the room.

Maxwell didn’t dare resist Connor’s order. He reluctantly dragged the unwilling Cassandra forward, though her resistance proved futile against his strength.

Standing before Connor, Cassandra didn’t even receive a direct glance from him. Instead, he turned to Samuel beside him, his voice ice–cold as he spoke just four words.

“Explain this to me.”

These brief words made Samuel break out in cold sweat. His scalp tingled as he realized he had inadvertently offended this powerful Alpha.

Everyone knew that Olivia Winters was Connor’s beloved mate. Helping her enemy escape justice would be seen as a direct insult to the Rivers pack.

Samuel desperately wanted to slap himself for his loose tongue. He cleared his throat nervously, panic evident in his voice.

“This is all a misunderstanding, Connor,” Samuel explained frantically. “Maxwell called asking for help to take a friend abroad. Since I was planning to travel internationally anyway, I agreed.”

He swore earnestly, “I had no idea the friend was Cassandra. I would never have agreed if I had known.”

Connor gave Samuel a light glance, his expression unreadable. The brief look seemed to pierce through Samuel’s soul, evaluating the truth of his words.

Samuel felt his heart racing under that penetrating gaze. He feared that Connor’s displeasure might ruin his upcoming business opportunities with Rivers Pack Holdings.

“Handle this situation,” Connor instructed Samuel with cold authority. “Cassandra cannot leave the territory. Her case with Olivia isn’t closed yet.”
