Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince by Dark Knight
Chapter 1028 Agree To Cooperate With The Investigation
Crystal’s POV:
With my eyes wide open, I immediately pushed Rufus away.
He seemed d*um*bfounded after the unexpected kiss, and he turned his head away awkwardly.
A little embarra*s*sed, I wiped my lips with the back of my hand. Although our lips only locked for a few seconds, there was still a tingling feeling on my lips.
Rufus and I kept silent for a long time. Neither of us spoke as we tried to calm down.
At the thought of it now, our fight just now was too childish.
Rufus suddenly cleared his throat and turned to look at me. His face was now calm. He even straightened his suit as if nothing had happened. After that, he got to his feet and extended a hand to me, “Come on. Get up.”
I was still a little shy and annoyed. Looking at his hand, I bit my lips and slapped it away before getting up from the ground on my own.
Rufus kept a straight face and didn’t seem to mind it. He then calmly sat on the couch and said, “Anyway, you need to stay here to cooperate with the investigation. You are not allowed to leave the capital city without my permission.”
I tightened my lips and remained silent. Ultimately, I realized that it was pointless to argue with him, knowing that he had already made up his mind.
“I know you don’t like to be bothered by others, so I will arrange a quiet place for you and won’t let anyone disturb you,” Rufus added in a calm tone.
As far as I was concerned, I knew he was only doing it to keep Flora and the others from paying me a visit. Rufus didn’t even give me a chance to ask them for help. It seemed that he was really serious about this.
I shot him a furious glare and uttered, “Your Majesty, you’re really putting a lot of effort in this matter. I hope you find something valuable in your investigation. Otherwise…”
To emphasize my point, I raised my fist and blew on it, threatening him fiercely, “Understood?”
Rufus looked at me quietly, not even threatened at all. He then answered in a nonchalant tone, “I hope you can still be that confident by then.”
Feigning a smile, I retorted, “Let’s wait and see.
However, I do have a request that you must fulfill.
I want to see Beryl anytime so that she can regain her memory as soon as possible. If you stop me from doing that, I will leave without any second thought.”
Rufus agreed without hesitation. “She is your child. Of course, I will let you see her.”
Now that there was nothing to worry about, I could just let Rufus investigate. Anyway, they won’t find anything useful. Now, we just needed to see who was more patient.
“Oh, also, you have to relinquish control of your pack during the investigation. I will send someone to temporarily manage the border pack while I look at the situation thoroughly,” Rufus added.
I gritted my teeth and said, “Whatever you say. My words are useless anyway, aren’t they?”
Rufus was very satisfied with my cooperation. Smiling, he replied, “My man has already arrived at the border pack. Would you like to make a video call to say hello, and officially hand over the matters in the pack?”
I sneered in my heart. It was clear he really put in a lot of effort in this. Maybe he had been looking for a way to get rid of me for a while now. And this was just his first move. He might have allowed me to temporarily cede control, but who knew if he would stay true to his word and give back my position as the Alpha when the investigation was done.
Even though I was furious, I had no choice but to comply. So, I reluctantly agreed to make the video call in a low voice. I’d like to see who the man Rufus sent was.
The big screen on the wall quickly connected the video call. And to my surprise, I saw that the man was Blair!
