Chapter35.
Vera Winter, seeing my silence, coughed. “Seven o’clock tonight. If you don’t come, it’ll still be the one hundred million compensation we agreed on.”
She hung up without waiting for a reply.
down my phone and thought. I remembered what Summer Grant had said… Was she really going to cause trouble in the last two days?
I have always had a cool and strained relationship with Vera Winter. She disliked
my family background, obstructed our relationship, and wouldn’t let me live in the Winter Family home for four years after our bonding relationship. Even during festivals, her words were cold and
sarcastic.
Apart from that, she hadn’t done anything else.I can’t imagine if she is really a werewolf, because werewolves are naturally drawn to family.
She might be mainly trying to control me, reassuring me, and supplementing the compensation agreement.
I was still considering whether to go or not, but an hour later, Liam sent another text message: Mr. Wells, what are your thoughts?
I pursed my lips. Why was he still asking? If it wasn’t impolite, I would have given the suit directly to the property manager and had him pass it on; after all, he lived above me.
After much deliberation, I realized pretending not to see it wasn’t a good idea either. Offending Xander would not benefit me.
My wolf suggested, “SHOULD WE RETURN THE SUIT AND SEE VERA WINTER AS WELL?”

I took my wolf’s advice and replied to Liam: Okay, what time is suitable?
Liam replied quickly: Eight o’clock.
I put on some light makeup and changed my clothes before going to my parents‘ house. A few days ago, when Jason blocked me at the entrance of the complex, I realized that I was being followed. These days, I had also noticed a suspicious car outside the villa, confirming my suspicions.
After I drove away, Jason called, “Taking a nap?”
My wolf snorted coldly, full of disdain, “CLUMSY TRAP!”
I coldly hummed in my heart, “I’m driving. I’m going to my parents‘ place.”
“To deliver the suit?”
…Yes.”
I glanced at the suit in the passenger seat.

Jason, seeing that I wasn’t lying, hung up, but he also had the surveillance team follow me to my parents‘ house.
I arrived at my parents‘ apartment complex. They were both retired university professors. When Larrived, my father wasn’t home. My mother, Emily Wells, was surprised to see me at this time. “Not working today?”
“Took a day off. I have a slight cold,” I touched my throat and pretended to cough a few times. “You don’t take care of yourself. Your face has become so thin. Jason isn’t treating you well, is he? The Head Warrior is definitely not good at taking care of you.” Emily touched my face.
Mothers and daughters are connected. No matter how I tried to hide it, she could still sense it.
“If he doesn’t treat me well, I’ll bonding severance him,” I said jokingly.
Emily Wells stopped talking.
I changed the subject and started chatting with my mother. I planned to tell them about the bonding severance only after everything was settled, to avoid them worrying too soon.
After dinner at my parents‘ house, I changed my clothes and went out. I told them that I had a date with a friend and would be back soon, and I would spend the night here.
In the elevator, I put on a mask and hat, leaving the complex under the watchful eyes of the surveillance team.
I arrived at the Aman hotel before seven o’clock. The exterior was antique and elegant; the interior was understated and luxurious.
I left the suit at the front desk and then called Vera Winter, telling her I had arrived.
Soon, someone came to pick me up, leading me through winding corridors to a room. They opened the door for me.
I entered. It was a tea room, filled with the aroma of incense, tea, and jasmine. Vera Winter was wearing a dark green silk cheongsam, sitting there, dignified and elegant.
