Bartonâs angry voice sounded from the other end of the line.
âI told you to win Calebâs favor, not Adamâs! Why on earth would you do such a shameful thing? Donât you know what our familyâs going through right now?â
Blushing furiously, Janiya asked cautiously, âWhat do you mean, Dad?
What happened?â
âCaleb has suspended all our projects in the Thorn Edge Pack.
Even our businesses in other packs have been affected.

ALL the color drained from Janiyaâs heavily made-up face.
âWhy would you do such a thing, Caleb? When will the projects resume?â
I leaned back in my chair leisurely and examined my clean fingernails.
âItâs just a routine inspection.
You donât have to worry too much.
As for when the projects can start again, I canât say for sure.
It depends on how things will play out.
â
âYouâre so heartless, Caleb!â Janiya spat at me through gritted her teeth.
I smiled.
âNo, I was just responding to your extortion.
Compared with what you tried to do to me, Iâd say weâre even.
â
Janiya was rendered speechless.
Seeing that the timing was perfect, I turned my head to lock eyes with
Adam.
âYou see? No matter how rich and powerful the Barton family is, I can make them Lose everything with the snap of my fingers.
This is the true power of an Alpha.
â
But Adam seemed completely unfazed.
âIâm not Like the Barton family.
Iâm not afraid of Gale at all.
She could never do the same thing to me.
â
âYou really think so?â I faked a smile.
âThen it seems youâve made up your mind to cooperate with someone else.
Am I right?â
Adam chuckled and said with a smile, âI never said that.
How about we both give it some time and think it over?â
It seemed that Adam was still a man who cared about nothing but his own selfish interests.
He wouldnât change his plan so easily for the sake of his new mistress.
I could see that this cunning man still wanted to make the deal with me, so I hinted at Carlos to stay.
âIâm afraid I have other plans today, Adam.
I canât stay any longer.
My
Beta will stay and talk with you.
â
Carlos nodded in understanding and decisively sat down to talk with
Adam.
