Chapter 51
Alpha 51
My accusation caused the atmosphere in the dining room to become thick with tension that was not being expressed verbally.
I had reached the end of my patience. I turned to Adrian’s parents and spoke to them in a calm and collected manner, saying, “There is something that y to be.”
The look of surprise that appeared in Lynda’s eyes was fleeting, but she swiftly regained her composure. She turned to me with a smile that was so easy questioned,
“W–What are you talking about? What have I done to you?”
After taking my phone, which was sitting on the table in front of me, I scoffed at her and then proceeded to unlock it with my fingerprint.
When I was trying to find Lynda’s message that she had sent me the day after the party, I heard Adrian’s cold voice.
“Lynda, what is she talking about? What did you do?”
Gradually, I turned my head to look at him. The focus of his gaze was on Lynda. I was either overthinking the situation, or his look was a type of warning
It seemed as though Lynda was not happy with his inquiry.
“Adrian, are you believing this woman over me?”
The question that she asked caused a change in Adrian’s expression. His gaze shifted on me. “Show me what you have against her.”
I looked away from him and refocused on my phone.
“Found it!” I said and pressed on the message that Lynda had sent me. noveldrama
Lynda’s hand was tightly clasped beneath the table, and I caught a glimpse of it. Because I was seated close to her, I was the only one who could see it.
It was easy for me to sense her anxiety. I thought it was the right time to expose her.
Adrian grabbed my phone from me and looked at the screen, where he noticed the message. He then continued to stare at the
screen.
“Ad–Adrian, trust me.” Lynda mumbled with a teary face.
“What’s going on?” Uncle Lucas asked.
I revealed how Lynda had maliciously spread my private conversation with my foster father across social media, intending to tarnish my reputation.
As soon as Auntie Grace heard me, she opened her mouth slightly. In a fit of rage, Uncle Lucas gave Lynda a harsh look.
After looking at my phone for a moment, Adrian turned his attention to me. He asked me,
“Done blaming her?”
I was stunned by his question.
He placed my phone on the table and pushed it toward me.
He glared at me and said,
“I told you before. She has done nothing. Why are you targeting
Lynda? Can’t you just live your own life and deal with your own problems alone?”
While he was berating me, I couldn’t help but stare at him.
I had the feeling that I had traveled back in time, and he was reprimanding me for bullying Lynda, something I had never done.
How could I even think that he would listen to anything against his sweetheart? Of course, he would save her.
“Adrian, she showed you the proof,” Uncle Lucas said to him.
He shook his head and replied, “Dad, that is not even Lynda’s number. There is only written that it’s from Lynda. But Lynda is innocent. She can not do a
Auntie Grace frowned and asked, “She can send it from another person’s number too.”
Right at that moment, Lynda started to cry. She was doing that to earn sympathy from Adrian.
“Natalia, I understand you are upset, but these accusations are baseless. Why would I do that? If I did, where did I get those
screenshots? Because only your father and you had the
screenshots. Are you accusing your father, too? What will he get from it?”
By deftly manipulating the story, Lynda gave the impression that I was attempting to disparage her out of envy and personal rivalry.
Adrian’s parents exchanged confused glances. They were torn; my words carried weight, but Lynda’s poised demeanor and her ability to rationalize her
EN
I was blaming my decision to stay here. If I had listened to my family, I would not have felt something like this again.
“Stop crying. People are jealous of you because you are with Alpha Adrian. Let them say whatever they want. They can’t be in your position.” Adrian spo
After making that statement, he proceeded to carry on eating his meal as if nothing had happened.
“Natalia, it’s okay, my child. There must be some misunderstanding. Don’t listen to anyone. Let’s start eati-”
Auntie Grace got interrupted by me as I stood up from my seat.
“I am done.”
Uncle Lucas shook his head. “But you haven’t eaten anything.”
I shifted my gaze at Adrian, who looked indifferent.
“Sorry, Uncle. But I have lost my appetite after listening to someone’s nonsense.” I replied to Uncle Lucas.
Adrian paused chewing and lifted his head to look at me.
His gaze was challenging me to speak another sentence, and he would charge on me
My wolf growled inside me. She was not so weak as to allow me to suffer any form of humiliation. At the same time, she was not pleased by the frigid sta
I smiled at him sarcastically and stated,
“Alpha Adrian, no one is targeting your sweetheart. So stop thinking that I am jealous of her even a single percent. Because what she has right now, I left that five years ago on my own. I don’t want that again, so she can have it all for herself.”
