Chapter 167 

Third Person’s POV 

Madison shook her head slowly. No, Lance will definitely go through with the mating ceremony with her. From Lycan Clarissa and Lycan Erasmus’s attitude that day, it’s clear they’re backing this. Lance might not be doing this willingly.” 

But why?” 

Wanda was puzzled. Why would Lycan Erasmus approve of Lance and Adelaide becoming mates?” 

Madison was equally confused. Logically, Lycan Erasmus should oppose this. Lance commands the army, and Adelaide upholds the Frostfang Pack’s fierce reputation. Doesn’t he fear Lance might grow ambitious?” 

Wanda’s eyes widened. Would he dare?” 

Humph!” 

Madison sneered coldly. Who doesn’t aspire to be Lycan King? Lance has no ambitions now, but who knows about the future? Ambition can grow over time.” 

It seems Lycan Erasmus, though wise, overly trusts socalled brotherhood. I need to remind him of this.” 

Mother, does Lycan Erasmus still respect you?Wanda asked

Madison’s gaze darkened. On the surface, yes. But who knows what he truly thinks? I’ll pay him a visit 

tomorrow.” 

Wanda pouted as she approached. Take me with you. I need to talk to Priscilla.” 

What about?” 

A glint of calculation flashed in Wanda’s eyes. I’m a bit short on cash and want to ask Priscilla for some money.” 

Madison’s pheromones suddenly carried a cloying pine scent, and her neck mark glowed eerily in the candlelight

She slowly smiledyes, it was time to tap into this pagoda treeagain

Priscilla sat in her palace, her moonstone ring growing warm

Madison and Wanda have arrived,an omega announced

Priscilla frowned. Whenever Madison and her daughter visited, it was always about money

A few years back, Wanda had partnered with a Full Moon Priestess to open a cosmetics shop, making a decent profit

Priscilla, never one to be outdone, decided to open her own store

Chapter 167 

Initially, she planned to partner with relatives, but Wanda approached her first, touting her experience and connections. She persuaded Priscilla to invest thirty million dollars in a gold jewelry store

Priscilla, already wary of Wanda, hesitated until Madison intervened with veiled insults, implying Priscilla was too fearful and distrustful

Priscilla, intimidated by Madison’s stern expression, reluctantly handed over the money

But over the years, the gold store brought no returns, only annual losses and constant requests for more funds

Priscilla, bitter and resentful, had no choice but to keep investing to avoid appearing cheap or cash- strapped in Madison’s eyes

Over the years, Wanda had drained tens of millions from her. Yet Priscilla had never seen a hint of profit from the store

The omega, who had long cared for Priscilla, felt her pain. They’re here to ask for more money. That gold store isn’t profitable. Why not sell it and cut your losses?” 

Priscilla agreed the store was a failure

But shutting it down would be admitting defeat

Wanda’s cosmetics shop was thriving, while hers floundered. Priscilla refused to back downit was a matter of pride

Despite her misgivings, she invited Madison and Wanda in

Predictably, they were there for the gold store

Priscilla couldn’t help complaining, My gold store is larger than your cosmetics shop. Why is it always in the red?” 

Wanda had her rehearsed response readynew stores need time to build a reputation. The promotions were to boost fame, and once established, profits would follow

Priscilla, never expecting massive returns, just wanted to save face

Then Madison coolly remarked, Having second thoughts, Priscilla? If you can’t spare the funds, sell your shares to the Full Moon Priestessshe’s been eager to buy them.” 

At Madison’s words, Priscilla ordered three million dollars in checks to be prepared

Madison and Wanda left, satisfied

Once they were gone, the omega lamented, This can’t continue! That store’s a black hole. Sell it before it drains you dry.” 

Priscilla, glumfaced, insisted, No reason my store can’t succeed. It’s twice the size of hers, with more gold varieties and higher costs. It’ll turn a profit soon.”

It might already be profitablethey could be hiding the earnings from you,the omega suggested

Priscilla countered, How? I have the booksyou review them for me.” 

Books can be falsified!the Omega retorted. Next time they ask for money, refuse. Consider past investments a loss.” 

Priscilla agreed in theory, but Madison’s silent pressure always unnerved her, coupled with her pride, forcing her to repeatedly fork over cash

She suddenly wondered, If it were Adelaide in her shoes, would she cave and pay?”
