The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 999

Crystal's POV:

When I opened the door and saw that it was Flora, I heaved a sigh of relief. I pulled her inside and promptly took off my mask.

"What're you doing here?"

Flora was still wearing a gown, as if she had rushed straight here from the ball.

"Did something happen between you and Rufus just now? People have been saying that you two were in the same room for a long time..." Flora held my hands, her eyes darting around nervously.

I had a bad feeling about this. "What's going on?"

Flora immediately fished out her phone from her handbag and showed me a photo. "Look, someone took a photo of you running out of Rufus' lounge."

Hearing this, my heart leaped to my throat. I took Flora's phone to get a better look at the photo. Luckily, it didn't capture my face, which was blocked by Arron in my arms.

But it would've been easy to recognize me by my side profile. Years ago, I often posted photos on social media. It would be bad if someone recognized me. After all, in the eyes of the public, Sylvia had already been executed.

"Don't worry. As soon as we found out about it, Warren immediately gave the order to have the photos taken down. Hopefully, it won't cause too big of an impact," Flora comforted me and patted the back of my hand.

I closed my eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. We both sank into the sofa tiredly and I told her about my plan. "I'm leaving the capital in three days."

"Is Beryl going with you? Doesn't she think that Rufus is her father?" Flora asked with a frown.

"If Beryl still doesn't regain her memories by then, I'll have to take her away by force." I sighed helplessly.
