Chapter 1023 He Knows Too Much
Crystal's POV: I was shocked. I didn't expect that Rufus would even find out about Warren's involvement.
Just how much did Rufus know? Did he find out everything about me? No! It was impossible! Laura had already erased any information pertaining to my identity years ago. Rufus couldn't have found any clues!
"Why so quiet all of a sudden? Weren't you so confident just now?" Rufus sneered, an evil smile tugging at the corners of his lips I was so flustered that I couldn't think of a good excuse to explain myself. No! If I kept silent, I'd look guilty! Then not only would I be in trouble, but so would Warren!
I swallowed all my messy emotions and said calmly, "This has nothing to do with Warren. I was the one who planned our leave. And I have the freedom to choose how and when to leave. It has nothing to do with you.”
Rufus' expression darkened and his tone turned aggressive. "I didn't expect you to have a relationship with Warren. As far as I know, before you came to the imperial capital, you and Warren were never in contact except when it came to matters of the pack. Even before that, he didn't even know whether the Alpha of the border pack was a man or a woman!"
A cold sweat broke out on my back, but I couldn't crumble now. "I'm Leonard's distant relative and used to be a member of the Sliver Moon Pack. Of course Warren and I know each other! Why did Warren not know that I was the Alpha of the border pack you might ask? Because I left the Sliver Moon Pack and lost touch with its members for a long time. It's normal that Warren didn't know anything about me after I took off.”
Although I gave Rufus a reasonable explanation, I knew that it wasn't enough to dispel his doubts. But this was the best way I could keep him at bay. I could only keep arguing with him to ease his suspicions about Warren first.
"Warren just found out that I had become Alpha of the border pack when we ran into each other here in the capital. And I was the one who asked him for a car. He didn't want to help me, but for Leonard's sake, he gave in.”
Hearing this; Rufus laughed bitterly. “You're very worried about him, aren't you? Don't worry. I'm notone of those unreasonable people ‘who make the innocent suffer." ‘Content ~~
I couldn't help but roll my eyes in front of him. "So I should be thanking you. is that it?"
While he might've said flowery words, I knew that there was poison behind it.
Rufus raised his eyebrows and looked at the mask in his hand with great interest. Then he stared at my face for a long time. Suddenly, he moved his face closer to mine.
My heart skipped a beat and I stepped back without thinking. I had no idea what he was up to.
"Don't get close to me!" I yelled, staring at Rufus warily.
Rufus ignoredmy warning and quickly comered me. With my back pressed against the wall, there was nowhere could go. He brought ht his face close to mine and said shatply, "'m curious about your social~ abilities, " "What?" I didn't understand What he meant. Content.Bélongs to

I held my breath, not daring to say a word. "Warren, Flora, Joanna... Hmm, let me think... Oh! And Harry!" Every time Rufus said a name, my heart missed a beat in my chest.
Then, to drive the stake home, he added, "And as far as I know, even my mother also seems to be one of your friends.”
