The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover by Caesar Erickson novel Chapter 1638

Chapter 1638

Kate's words were like a sharp stab, piercing deep into Harper's heart. The rosy color on her face instantly faded, leaving only a pale complexion.

Suddenly, Harper could feel Anthony's pain from years ago. His gentle and noble face, which seemed kind-hearted, why did he say something so hard to accept?

She didn't have parents, so how could Kate not know when she had looked into her background?

Kate was clearly intentionally hitting her sore spot...

Harper, who had originally intended to mate Preston, suddenly had a change of heart.

Matingwas not just between two individuals, but also between two packs.

Having grown up without a pack, she naturally longed for a warm and loving pack on the male side. But the woman in front of her...

Harper clenched her hand and dug her nails into her flesh, stabilizing her emotions. "Mrs. Knight, I don't have parents..."

Kate didn't even pretend to look surprised and said directly, "I know, that's why I think you and Preston aren't very suitable..."

The implication was that a pup raised without parents couldn't match her son.

If it were someone else's parents sitting across from her, Harper would have left a long time ago. But facing Preston's mother, she didn't do that, even though she was hurting inside. She bit her lip and endured.

She would do this solely because of Preston. It couldn't be denied that she liked Preston and couldn't let him go. So, for him, she should try to fight for it.

Thinking this, Harper loosened her tightly clenched fist and calmly looked at Kate. "Not having parents is not my fault. You can't think that just because of this, Preston and I aren't suitable."

Harper didn't directly address the hidden meaning behind Kate's words, she simply continued along with her words. But to Kate, it seemed like Harper didn't understand when to give up. "I didn't want to be too harsh with my words, but since you don't understand, let me make it clear."

It seemed like Harper could guess what Kate was going to say next. Her face grew even paler, but Kate ignored her emotions and continued to embarrass her.

When she was studying, she only focused on finding part-time jobs, thinking that if she started working early, she could earn more money and help Silas and Taya, who had better academic performance. She thought that if they succeeded, it would be equivalent to her own success.

Later on, it turned out to be true. Silas and Taya were both outstanding. She felt that this was enough, but she didn't expect that both Jayden's mother and Preston's mother would still care about these things.

She couldn't decide her background, and she wasn't academically outstanding. She felt that she was just an ordinary person, so she mated an ordinary person, hoping to live a peaceful life. But things didn't go as planned, and a bunch of troubles forced her to climb up.

But what kind of position could a person like her reach?

She didn't have a good pack, no one to help, and no connections. All she had was the inheritance left by Silas. If it weren't for this inheritance, she wouldn't even be able to become the manager of a night venue.

For ordinary people, it's really difficult to achieve great success. So, how could she not hope for a good family background, being nurtured and educated from birth to adulthood, having experienced the wider world at a young age, and having better genes like Preston...

But she didn't have that background or those parents. She could only rely on herself to struggle and climb up.
