Sylvia's POV:
After leaving the dungeon, I set out towards the pack's castle. Rufus said he would wait for me there.
Countless rose manors surrounded the castle, all built by Leonard when he was still alive. Like my mother, he was fond of roses.
When Leonard didn't have to work, he often retreated to the manors. When we visited the pack last time, he specially arranged for me and Rufus to live in a white rose manor, next to the manor he usually lived in. Back then, he would come to visit us all the time.
Thinking of these bittersweet memories, I felt even more depressed. If Leonard was still here, he might've been sipping tea or walking the dog in the manor now.
When I passed by the manor Leonard had lived in before, I happened to see a group of maids sitting a stone table. I didn't know what they were up to, nor did I care, so I was about to walk past them.
However, I heard them say Flora's name.
The maids were talking about Flora.
It was a taboo for servants to talk about their bosses, especially behind their back. But this group of she-wolves didn't seem to care, and their words were very mean.
"She's just an ordinary Omega. How dare she be so willful? She has become so arrogant ever since she got pregnant." The one speaking was a she-wolf with red hair. She was the most beautiful one among the maids. Judging from the way the other maids tried to flatter her, I reasoned that she must've been the leader of this small group.
"You won't believe what a handful she is! Sometimes she has morning sickness and refuses the food we prepared for her. And then she just asked Warren to buy her the cheese pancakes from some remote cafe. This is insane!" "She's obviously using her pregnancy as an excuse to gain some favor. She isn't pretty, nor does she have a noble status. If I were a guy, I would definitely not spoil her!"
The maids giggled maliciously as they gossiped, their contempt for Flora clear as day.
I was so angry that I rushed over without thinking and slapped the most vicious one of the bunch—the red-haired she-wolf.
