Sylvia's POV:
Rufus always listened to me because he was my boyfriend, but why would Leonard cater my every need? What was she even talking about?
Although Leonard and I knew each other well now, he only treated me the same way an ordinary elder would treat a young person.
Alina just was just talking nonsense.
I scowled and said in a frosty voice, "Alina, today is your big day, so I don't want to say anything that could upset you. But if you keep pushing..." She scoffed coldly and stood up, lifting up her dress slightly. She looked down at me coldly and spat out, "My big day? It's so easy for you to say that. My groom is just the son of the Alpha of a small pack. How could he compare with your mate, Prince Rufus? Or are you trying to mock me?"
Her outburst amused me a little. She didn't want to let this go. She called me over just so she could vent her anger at me.
"Why don't you say something? Am I wrong? You're a hypocrite who always portrays yourself as a weak woman and hoodwinks everyone around."
Alina's voice was tight. Her usually pretty face was contorted into a furious expression.
I restrained my emotions, not wanting to argue with her. I didn't want her to get more worked up. Perhaps my lack of response made her give up taunting me after a short while.
My body sagged in relief and I slowly calmed down.
I truly couldn't understand how a practical person like Leonard could have a daughter who always lost control of her emotions.
Given the fact that Alina was one year younger than me, I decided to let go. Arguing with her would actually bring me more suffering.
Alina lifted her dress slightly, walked to the dressing table, and took a box out. "I bought an item at the black market a few days ago, but haven't been able to figure out how to use it. Can you take a look? Maybe you will know how it works?"
She then took a pendant out of the box.
I recognized it instantly. It was a light pink gem pendant, the same as what I found in Noreen's lab.
"You've already rubbed blood on it?" I was both surprised and confused. Why had Alina bought a gem that was helpful in identifying blood relations?
