The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 144

Cherry's POV:

I looked at the men in black in confusion. Judging from their imposing demeanor, I wondered if they were from the palace. 'Has Richard seen my efforts and sent his men to pick me up?" I quickly smoothed my dress and smiled politely at them.

"Are you looking for me?"

The men in black spread out, and Rufus emerged through the crowd.

"That's her!" Maya stepped forward from behind Rufus and pointed at me angrily.

A wave of panic consumed me. "What do you mean?"

"You knocked me out and stole my things!" Maya rested her hands on her hips and glared at me. "I didn't expect a seemingly dignified she-wolf like you to steal from others."

Embarrassed and angry, I stepped backward and tried closing the door. "What are you talking about? I don't understand what you mean."

Maya strutted toward me and grabbed the door. Her strength startled me. She wrenched it open and dragged me out.

"Damn it! Let go of me, or I'll call the security guards!" I covered my stinging scalp and fell on the floor.

"Maya, that's enough; for now," Rufus said coldly. He ambled toward me, his brows creased together as he looked at me as if I were an insignificant ant.

His aura made me tremble unconsciously. I had attacked Maya from behind and carefully avoided the surveillance cameras. How did they find out it was me?

"You're Cherry, right?" Rufus asked casually.

"What's up, Prince Rufus?" I asked in a trembling voice, trying to calm myself down.

Unexpectedly, Rufus didn't even look at me. Instead, he beckoned to the guards beside him. "Arrest her!"
