Chapter 277
As soon as Harper said this, Michelle, who still wanted to say a few more sarcastic words, immediately stopped
talking.
Only then did Harper ease up. She look at Damian and said, “I still have to work tonight. Please take care of her.”
Damian nodded, picked up the car key, and said, “I’ll give you a ride.”
“No need. I’ll drive.”
After Harper refused, she took Taya’s arm and left the OB/GYN section of the hospital.
Michelle immediately sat up after they left and said to Damian, “Help me understand. Why do you have to return the money to her?”
Damian glanced outside. After ensuring they were far away, he replied, “I’m afraid she won’t believe me if I don’t return the money to her.”
Michelle snorted indifferently, her charming face full of resentment. “Just how much longer do I have to wait?”
Damian stepped forward, touched her belly, and comforted her. “Michelle, be a good girl. After she pays off the mortgage, I’ll take you to live in the city.”
Hearing that Damian would take her to live in the city, Michelle’s affronted
expression gradually turned into one of determination.
After they left the ward, Taya sent the video to Harper and reminded her of what he said.
“Damian told me his sister was pregnant, so that’s why she didn’t attend your mating ceremony. But when he explained to you, he said he didn’t know she was pregnant until today. What he said seems reasonable, but it’s contradictory. You’d better pay more attention to it. He and his sister are a bit strange…”
When Harper saw Damian in the video scratching Michelle’s nose with the same action he used on her, her face darkened and her wolf perked up a bit.
“It’s not a little strange. There’s obviously something going on!”
“If they are siblings, they aren’t having an affair.”
“Who knows if they are siblings!”
Harper put away her phone and gritted her teeth. “I know nothing about his family. Who knows if he’s lying to me?”
Taya agreed. “It’s because of his family. There’s no reason not to let their new daughter-in-law come.’
Taya’s words reminded Harper of something. She hurriedly said, “I’ll go to his pack lands and ask his neighbors about it.”
“Don’t go alone. It’s too dangerous.” Taya quickly grabbed her hand.
No one knew what was going on in Damian’s pack lands. If Harper went
there alone, what if she entered the tiger’s
den?
Taya tried to calm her down. “Don’t worry. I think Michelle is impatient. You can find an opportunity when Damian is not around to get more out of her. Maybe she’ll slip up if something is amiss.”
Harper thought about it and agreed. In the ward, Michelle almost couldn’t control herself several times. Michelle would have jumped up and gone against Harper if it weren’t for Damian stopping her. When Damian was not there, she would go to find Michelle again. It was much safer
than visiting Damian’s family on their lands by herself.
After Harper calmed down, she looked much more relaxed. “Taya, aren’t you going to get the medicine from Stella?”
Taya was still worried about Harper. “Don’t worry…”
Harper sighed deeply. “I thought that if I found an honest and down-to-earth wolf, he would not betray me, but now I feel…”
.
Before Harper could say anything, her heart was heavy, and Taya was even more worried. Her face scrunched up.
Harper smiled and rubbed Taya’s little face. “Don’t be sad. I have money, so I’m not afraid of anything.”
