Gerald then carried me to take the elevator . I asked puzzledly , " Gerald , why not take the stairs ? Carrying me upstairs is a good way to build strength . " Gerald was so angry that he wanted to cuff me on the head Doy you think you are light as a feather ? You expect me to haul you up without breaking a sweat ?

" Gerald : " " " What ? Luna Werner was the one you saved ? " Gerald's face darkened . " That disgrace of an Omega , Ophelia , actually dared to claim she was the hero ? Pathetic . " " Hmm !

Maybe tomorrow , fate will bite back - starting with their bankruptcy . " I thought Gerald " was a dreamer " , I decided to try other ways . 52 Chapter 12 There are always more solutions than difficulties . Gerald carried me back to the room while saying . He put me on the bed , gently ruffled my fur , and indulgently said , " Silly girl , don't overthink it , just sleep well . The Cochran Family doesn't need scraps from the Werner Family's table . " I nodded , " Oh ! I don't overthink , I just want to think about how many handsome wolves there will be in my harem . " Gerald- " He bolted from the room like a shot , suddenly very motivated to avoid becoming part of my collection . I was joking . I lay on the huge bed , sprawled out , without any shape , my eyes staring at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling , thinking about how to break the deadlock It's possible that Ophelia , that Omega , knew I had saved Luna Werner , and she might turn against me .

She appeared on the scene that day , Darnell was going to investigate what happened to Luna Werner , he would definitely check the surveillance footage from that day , before that , the cunning Ophelia would surely have destroyed the surveillance . I sat up abruptly , I had previously instructed Paulina , not knowing if she had acted in advance . I searched by the bedside and saw my phone . I crawled over , picked up the phone , and was about to make a call when I saw Emmett's number coming in . Bad luck .
