Chapter 220 Two Hundred and Twenty
Greg’s hand supporting his chin balled into a tight fist, and he kept picturing Lucianne in his head to restrain his growling animal that was trying to push itself forward.
Kelissa glanced at Greg before she showed her cousin a fake smile and said, “Let’s leave death aside for now. We were hoping that you’d have some kind of resources, your Grace. We could consider something less–”
Livia butted in again, “I don’t get why death should be left aside. The wolf is marked. The only way to get to your end goal now is to kill her. Do you need her alive for some reason?” The Duke thought this was a perfect time to start a front-row seat soap opera, so he turned to Kelissa and asked with a taunting smile, “Are you going to tell her?”
Livia’s eyes widened when she asked, “Tell me what?”
Kelissa scowled at Greg but the Duke was not going to take back what he just said. Livia repeated her question, louder and fiercer this time. She earned a glare from her uncle and aunt but she couldn’t care less.
Next to her, Sasha smirked when she caught on, and she said, “You were promised the wolf, weren’t you, your Grace? That’s why the heiress is also pinned on keeping her alive.”
Greg was impressed that, of all people, the dumb blonde got the answer. “So, there is a brain in that head of yours, Cummings. Bravo.” Livia’s eyes turned onyx, and her hard stare was on Kelissa when she gritted her teeth and said, “You promised that he was MINE.” Kelissa was unperturbed as she responded, “If the circumstances change, our plans have to change with it. The end goal comes first, Livia.” Livia scoffed darkly and added, “You think you can just overrule everyone and sweep away what the rest of us were promised when we decided to help you? You think you can make us fall in line and you think you know everything? Well, let me tell you something you don’t know: Sasha already bought Oleander from the rogue Alpha, saying that it was to kill Seb when it is actually to kill YOU after you tore the wolf away from the King!”
“LIV!” Sasha exclaimed in shock at her secret coming out from her confidant’s mouth.
Greg muttered in amusement, “Ooo…plot twist.” Well, not for him since he eavesdropped on everyone’s conversations in the house.
Kelissa hissed, “Shut up, your Grace! Just because my promise to you remains intact, it doesn’t mean you have to flaunt it!”
Greg’s sharp hearing picked up something not far away from the other side of the door but from the blank looks on everyone else’s faces, he concluded that he was the only one who heard those sounds. So, he played dumb and responded to the fuming Kelissa, “Flaunt? Heh! Kylton, get real. You’ve already decided to kill Lucianne. And you already backstabbed me when you sent the rogue to forcibly mark the Qu “Wolf.” Kelissa insisted, her eyes showing some onyx shades despite her parents’ surprised looks when Greg mentioned things that were not discussed with any advisor.
