The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 22

Rufus' POV:

"You may go." My father seemed a little tired already. He waved his hand and dismissed me.

I nodded expressionlessly and left.

Although I got Ethan to agree to keep Sylvia, it didn't mean I could delay the investigation on Sylvia's mother any longer. Otherwise, we could get into more trouble later on. If that were to happen, the problem would not just be as simple to solve as gossip.

"Anything about the investigation I assigned to you?" I asked my attendant in a low voice.

"The file indicates that Miss Todd's mother was indeed a Beta. She rebelled later on and was said to have killed the former Alpha. Because of this, she was executed by her own pack members," the attendant reported back.

"Mm. Anything else?"

"Yes, well. It seemed all this information came from one source-- the Gamma of Miss Todd's pack."

So, it turned out to be Mateo after all. I honestly thought it was going to be that bumbling idiot Shawn. I did not expect that a Gamma could make so much trouble. Immediately, I was put in a bad mood, but I did not let it show on my face. "However, there does seem to be some loopholes in this case. The witness of the trial instantly disappeared after the execution of Miss Todd's mother. Along with this, all physical evidences also seem to have been since destroyed."

Upon hearing this, I finally felt like this case was getting somewhere. The mastermind behind all of this probably never expected that this case would be dug up one day. The more seemingly flawless the case appeared to be, the more suspicious it actually sounded. Disappearing witness and evidences were something that did not happen every day.

"Alright. Keep investigating. Start with the missing witness."

After giving out the order, my mind immediately went to Sylvia, who was probably waiting for me in my living room. I walked back as quickly as I could.

As soon as I entered my room, I saw Sylvia sitting obediently on a chair. She wore a white dress and had simple make up done on her face. She smiled brightly when she saw me, which was undoubtedly enough to overshadows everything else around her.

Her beauty stunned me for a moment. I couldn't take my eyes off of her. Until I felt that there was something wrong. I could tell she wasn't really in a good mood. Although she was smiling, it looked fake, which made me uncomfortable.

"What's wrong?" I asked, slowly walking up to her.

Sylvia shook her head and smiled even wider. "Nothing."
