“After Victoria issued her apology statement, her social media followers have been dropping continuously,” I said, taking a sip of my moonberry tea. “From 800,000 to only a few hundred thousand. Most of those remaining are probably bought bot accounts.”
I added leisurely, “Later, many people came forward to expose her, saying her persona was completely fake – that she wasn’t a wealthy returnee at all, but just a social climber who relied on plastic surgery to hook up with rich werewolves.”
Miranda leaned forward with interest. “Her bullying behavior was also revealed?”
“Oh yes,” I nodded with satisfaction. “I suspect Connor had his people boost the trending topics, because Victoria was on the hot search list for three consecutive days.”
I drank another sip of my black tea and said with satisfaction, “This morning I saw that her account has been permanently banned. It’s impossible for her to make money through social media in the future.”
Olivia responded with no expression, “All of this is her own doing.”
I nodded emphatically. “Exactly, she deserves it. She was used to bullying others with her powerful connections, but she never expected that one day she would encounter an immovable force like the Rivers pack.”
As Miranda and I continued chatting, Olivia’s phone rang. She glanced at the screen and answered immediately.
“Lily, what’s wrong?” Olivia’s voice carried immediate concern.
Lily’s voice sounded very distressed through the speaker. “Livvy, are you busy?”
“No, I’m not. What happened?” Olivia’s expression grew serious.
“Something serious has happened. Can you come support me?” Lily’s voice was shaky, almost breaking.
Olivia immediately sat up straighter. “What happened? Where are you? I’ll come right away.”
“I’m at Gabriel Andrews‘ private villa.” Lily gave her the address, her voice barely above a whisper.

“I’ll be there soon,” Olivia assured her firmly.

After hanging up, Olivia turned to us apologetically. “Something urgent has happened to my best friend and I need to go help, so I’ll have to excuse myself. We can meet again another
time.”
Miranda nodded understandingly. “Of course, go ahead.”
I waved goodbye. “See you next time, Olivia.”
After Olivia left, I turned to Miranda with curiosity. “Have you truly let go of Connor Rivers?”
Miranda sighed and a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes. “I can’t let go so quickly – after all, I loved him for more than seven years, and it will take time to heal.”
She picked up her coffee cup and took a sip. “But I have indeed given up on him. Time will heal everything.”
I observed that it seemed Miranda had really figured things out. “That’s good – it’s not healthy to keep pining for someone you can’t have.”
I leaned forward with a mischievous smile. “Would you like me to introduce you to a handsome mixed–blood friend? He has both good family background and appearance.”
Miranda shook her head with a helpless smile. “I’m not considering romance right now. It would be irresponsible to both myself and others to quickly enter another relationship before I’ve completely let go.”
“You’re right,” I agreed. “There’s no rush. You’ll eventually move on.”
Miranda lowered her eyes with a bitter smile and didn’t respond.
(Olivia’s POV)
I soon arrived at Gabriel Andrews‘ private villa. The moment I saw Lily, my heart clenched with worry.
–
Her eyes were red and swollen she’d clearly been crying for hours.
“Lily, what happened?” I rushed to her side immediately.
Lily told me everything about the previous night’s confrontation with Gabriel’s parents. Her voice shook as she recounted Diana’s violent slap and Marcus’s explosive rage.
I frowned, my expression serious. “What do you plan to do now?”
Lily hung her head dejectedly. “I feel very frustrated, Livvy. Everything’s such a mess.”

Gabriel appeared in the doorway, his forehead still bearing a small bandage from his father’s crystal goblet. “Alpha Marcus has agreed to sever his mate bond with Diana. We can only wait for the official dissolution now.”
His voice was steady despite the circumstances. “Their mating had long been dead in name only the only reason they hadn’t separated was because their intertwined business interests made property division complicated.”
I studied Gabriel’s determined expression. “I never expected you to seem so carefree yet be so responsible at critical moments.”
The Walsh pack was powerful, and half their assets represented a substantial amount. “Gabriel’s ready agreement to compensate for his father’s losses shows his sincerity toward you, Lily.”
Lily lowered her eyes and pursed her lips. “I can feel his sincerity toward me.”
Just then, Gabriel returned from the kitchen and overheared these words. “Lily, having you
say that makes everything I’ve done worthwhile.”
After a while, Rebecca Frost also arrived. Olivia and Rebecca spent the afternoon at Gabriel’s house supporting Lily, staying through dinner before heading home.
The next day, Connor took me back to the Winters family estate. When Richard first saw Connor, his expression was grim and unwelcoming.
However, when Connor requested a private conversation, Richard agreed with a curt nod.
The two alphas entered the study. The door closed with a decisive click, and I had no idea what they would discuss.
They talked for a very long time – from after two in the afternoon until dinner time. I waited anxiously in the living room, every minute feeling like an eternity.
When Connor finally emerged from the study, his expression appeared unchanged from when he entered. But Richard’s demeanor had softened considerably.
This seemed like a positive sign their conversation apparently went well.
“What did you discuss with my father?” I pulled Connor aside and asked quietly.
“We covered many topics – Frederick Warner and Vanessa Reed, cooperation between our packs, and some major project approvals for Winters Holdings,” Connor replied. “I’ll give you the details later.”
“My father doesn’t object to us being together anymore?” I asked again, hope rising in my

chest.
Connor responded quietly, “Almost.”
I gave
him a thumbs up and smiled. “Excellent.”

“I’m heading back now, baby. See you tomorrow,” Connor said, gently caressing my face.
I curved my lips in a smile. “See you tomorrow.”
