Chapter 121: Calm Threat
[Margaret’s Perspective]
Elliot looked me straight in the eye with a sad expression and said, “She won’t do anything like that again. Miss Margaret, I understand your anger, but she’s the one who’s leaving now. She really worked hard to get to her current position. Because of you, everything will be in vain.”
Because of me??I thought.
Is all this still my fault?
Did I let her use me, plot against me, and abuse me during training?
This is the biggest joke in the world.
“No matter what you say, it’s impossible for me to persuade Donald,” I said firmly.
I stood up and made a gesture of dismissal. “If there’s nothing else, please leave.”
Elliot lowered his eyes but did not step back.
The air seemed to have frozen at this moment.
Elliot said in a low voice, “What exactly will it take for you to do this? I’m willing to do it for you. Anything.”
Although he was speaking in an abject manner, I felt the aura around Elliot change in that instant.
His aura became scary. He was no longer the usual gentle and harmless guard. He now exuded the aura of a beast, and a dark shadow hung over him.
......
At that moment, I felt the same aura from Elliot as I did from the man who attacked me in the forest.
But it disappeared in less than a second, as if everything was just my imagination.
I shook my head. “Elliot, I won’t tell Donald about this, but don’t even think about asking me to plead for Angel. It’s not just this. Even if it’s something else in the future, I won’t interfere with Donald’s decisions for my own reasons.”
Elliot gave me a wry smile and said, “Miss Margaret, you’re as stubborn as Angel.”
He looked at me with a thoughtful expression and said, “If I threaten you, will you agree to what I say?”
I looked at Elliot in shock. He had restrained all expression on his face at this moment. His tone was as ordinary as if he was saying, “I brought you lunch.” I almost thought I misheard him.
“What did you say?”
Elliot suddenly reached out and grabbed my wrists, buckling them back together.
He was much taller than me and the position quickly made me feel uncomfortable. I struggled and shouted, “Elliot, what are you doing?”
Elliot didn’t push harder but maintained the posture. I tilted my head to look at him. His expression was still calm and expressionless. He said, “Would you want to agree to my request if I do this?”
“Are you kidding me?!” I turned around and finally broke free from Elliot’s control.
I ducked to the side and rubbed my wrist. I looked at Elliot warily.
“Miss Margaret, I didn’t want to attack you.” Elliot gave me an apologetic expression and said, “But I really don’t know who else to look for. Can you reconsider my suggestion?”
I was speechless.
“Margaret, what took you so long!”
A loud voice suddenly rang out.
Elliot and I turned together and saw Elizabeth pushing the door and walking in.
“Margaret! Hey, why are you here too?” Elizabeth walked toward us with wide eyes and looked at us suspiciously. “Are you talking about something?”
[Angel’s Perspective]
It was raining hard outside, which was good. It would erase all traces of my activities.
No one would notice my whereabouts now. Donald was about to exile me. I was originally someone everyone respected and admired, but now I had become the laughing stock of the entire assault team.
A deposed commander, thanks to that little bitch, Margaret.
I chewed the name between my teeth, wanting to tear her apart.
What was so good about this weak, ordinary, and vulnerable female wolf that bewitched Donald?
My self-esteem would never allow me to lose to someone who was inferior to me in everything. Wasn’t she the mate that the Moon Goddess had arranged for Donald? What was the big deal? Everyone would have a mate. If your current mate died, you would have another one. At that time, Donald would forget her.
In the dim light of day, I slipped into the forest.
This was my second contact with ‘Master’. This might not be accurate. I had heard of Master a long time ago. He was a genius with some shocking ideas, but we had never met each other.
However, recently, he had been seeking cooperation with me and lobbying me to join his camp.
I didn’t consider his suggestion at first. Instead, I was wary of him. I had a feeling that his goal was not as simple as he said. More importantly, I had no intention of betraying the Lycans and Donald. I didn’t want to leave the assault team.
