The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 1112

Lucy's POV:

I fixed my eyes on Crystal as she paused for a brief second before taking a few more steps forward. She didn't respond to the name I had just called.

She kept walking until she was about to exit the winding gallery, and then she turned to look at me.

"Who were you calling just now?"

Crystal's eyes flashed with surprise behind her mask, and her tone was curious. She almost fooled me.

I mustered a faint smile. "Oh, I called you the wrong name by accident. It's just you suddenly reminded me of an old acquaintance."

"An old friend of yours?" Crystal asked with mild interest.

"Not a friend." My smile widened, and I stared straight into her eyes as I added, "An enemy."

Crystal's expression turned awkward and somewhat apologetic. "I see, I apologize. I shouldn't have pressed you to dig up some bad memories."

I shook my head. "I'm the one who should apologize.

I didn't mean to call you by the wrong name. It's just that your figure is so similar to hers, and I uttered her name without thinking. I hope you don't mind."

Crystal casually waved a hand. "No big deal. Well, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."

"Sure, bye."

I watched her disappear into the distance, my smile still in place. As soon as she was out of sight, my face fell.

That little test of mine had just confirmed my suspicions.

Crystal was indeed Sylvia, Rufus' mate.

The way she had stiffened ever so slightly at that precise moment was what gave her away.
