Chapter 382
Third Person’s POV
Though a businessman, the store owner deeply admired wolf generals loyal to their country.
The Alpha Bentley family, from generals to Luna Adelaide, were all valiant warriors who had rendered great service to the nation.
Hence, he offered them a discount, nearly at cost price, and threw in some hair accessories and small ornaments free of charge. He even personally saw them off.
In the car, Adelaide mentioned Lynette, the Hornbeam Pack and the past when the public had compared
the two women.
“I heard about it later, so I’m not sure how big a fuss it was. But from Lynette’s tone today, she seemed unaware of it.”
After a pause, she sighed, “Whether Lynette stayed in the Hornbeam Pack or Gloria returned to the Ironclaw Pack, neither was wrong.”
“Those who stay endure loneliness, and those who return face their own challenges. Others can’t bear these hardships for them and shouldn’t resent those who’ve made different choices in similar circumstances,” Adelaide said.
Paisley said, “Yeah, everyone’s choice draws different chatter, but it’s their own path to walk. Lynette stayed and faced loneliness; Gloria, after returning to her original pack and bonding again, should let go of the past and live her life.”
“Just because Lynette stood up for her, she bought that headpiece on a whim. I wonder if she can afford it. I heard when she went back to the Ironclaw Pack, Sibyl gave her Eugene’s compensation. She’s not using that money to buy Sabrina jewelry, is she?”
She added mournfully, “If Eugene could see this, he’d never rest in peace.”
Zelda felt a pang of sadness.
Leaning on Adelaide’s shoulder, she asked, “Adelaide, what was Eugene like?”
Adelaide replied, “The Hutchinson family has a legacy of wolf generals, but none stood out until Eugene. He was exceptionally talented and brave. He served under my grandfather and later under my father on the Southern Border. Unfortunately, he sacrificed himself there.”
Adelaide secretly hoped that Eugenius was Eugene.
Nowadays, the Royal Army was under Tad’s command. Although Tad was brave, he wasn’t as brilliant as Eugene. He was not even as capable as Stewart and Abbot.
But Tad’s ancestors were werewolf generals, and he held a title, which was why he commanded the Royal Army.
Lycan Erasmus had always wanted to promote young officers. If Eugenius really was Eugene, Lycan Erasmus would definitely, put him to good use.

Chapter 004
Paisley, gazing out the window, thought of Eugenius. ()
If he was Eugene, his loyalty and patience were truly rare- he was a hero!
Ulrik couldn’t compare.
How could she have compared Eugene to Ulrik?
Disgusting!
Gloria was despicable and didn’t deserve Eugene’s memory.
After returning from the palace, Priscilla strode through the packhouse, head held high, ignoring the women inside.
Adelaide called out, “Priscilla, you’re back?”
Priscilla didn’t acknowledge her and kept walking.
Zelda ran out, clutching her arm. “Mother, look at what Adelaide and I got for you! Come see!”
Priscilla glanced at Zelda coldly. “Do I care?”
Zelda’s face fell. “You don’t like it? Adelaide spent ages picking it out.”
“Humph, ‘spent ages‘ indeed!” Priscilla shot another cold look at Adelaide standing at the door.
Under Adelaide’s smile, she raised her chin and said, “Bring it over, but I’m quite particular.”
Adelaide smiled and invited her in.
Paisley quickly prepared fruit–flavored coffee and recounted the day’s events at the Golden Jewelry Store as Priscilla admired the jewelry.
Priscilla placed a slender red coral hair tassel in her bun and shook her head slightly, listening to the pleasant sound of the tassel.
She was inwardly delighted–Adelaide truly understood her tastes.
As for the day’s drama, she’d listen but wouldn’t have tolerated being there in
She would have snatched that ruby hairpiece, appearing overly aggressive.
She disdained associating with that family.
Gloria must be out of her mind to spend so much on a hairpiece.
Looking at their shabby demeanor, they’d never encountered true fine items.
person.
No wonder Wanda copied designs from the Golden Jewelry Store–everything there was top–notch and expensive, which was why Wanda resorted to plagiarism.
At this thought, Priscilla’s face flushed with embarrassment.
Fortunately, she hadn’t gone today.
Although she’d never directly managed a business, she felt a pang of guilt.
She suspected Adelaide had spared her from the visit out of consideration–Adelaide was always thoughtful.
With this in mind, Priscilla’s mood brightened again.
