Drama Novel
Chapter 1305
Rufus’ POV:
There was no way on earth I’d just hand Beryl over to this vampire. She was my daughter, and I promised to protect her and the rest of my family at all costs-even if it meant sacrificing my own life.
Fortunately, very few people knew that Noreen currently occupied Beryl’s body, so even if Hubson had many informants, he wouldn’t be able to find out about it.
I was determined to keep it a secret from this old man, knowing full well he’d do anything to survive.
I looked at him calmly and said in a low and steady voice, “Noreen’s body was buried in the forbidden forest. We noticed some unusual movements in the forest a while back, so we dug up her body to check.”
Hubson squinted at me, looking somewhat dissatisfied. “You exhumed her body?
Are you out of your mind? What if that cunning and treacherous bitch was able to find a chance to resurrect?”
I was tempted to tell him that it was too late and Noreen’s soul had already escaped from that cursed tomb.
But in the end, I ignored his incredulous words and continued, “When we dug up her body, it disintegrated as soon as we touched it. Fortunately, the recording officer shot the whole process. If you don’t believe me, you can check the footage for yourself.”
After saying this, I gestured at my subordinate to bring the recording officer over. 1
Soon, the recording officer arrived with a small box. Inside was a memory card and a video camera.
He inserted the memory card into the camera and handed it to Hubson.
Hubson didn’t say anything, but his silence told me that his mood had only worsened.
That was understandable. It was only natural that he was particularly agitated since his life was on the line. If he couldn’t catch Noreen, then he’d face imminent death
But while I understood where he was coming from, I had no sympathy for the old man. If he died, I wouldn’t have batted an eyelash.
After all, not expelling him on the spot was already benevolent of me. Any vampire who blatantly trespassed onto werewolf territory deserved to die, and I would’ve seen to it that they were killed in the worst way possible.
Thinking of this, I couldn’t help but feel that my temperament had improved a lot. If this had happened a few months ago, I might’ve already gone on a killing spree by now.
I knew that it was Crystal who changed me. This realization made me even more determined to protect her and my children from harm.
Hobson was watching the videotape quietly when he suddenly exclaimed,
“Sylvia’s also here?”
“You know her?” Truth be told, I wasn’t surprised at all. I just wanted to see if he’d give me any useful information.
Hubson smiled. “Of course I know her. Sylvia’s an old acquaintance of mine. For some reason, she changed her name and went to the border pack to be an Alpha. She has given me a lot of grief in recent years at the border.”
Judging from his lighthearted tone, I could tell that he had no malicious intentions. I felt relieved, but 1 didn’t say anything more so as not to arouse his suspicion.
Hubson watched the videotape repeatedly, muttering to himself, “How could it be? She can’t have died that easily! I’m so screwed.
I frowned. His incessant complaints made my patience run thin. I decided to ask him to leave.
However, before I could get a word out, Hubson suddenly became excited. “I know what to do!”
“What?” I squinted at him warily.
“I know how to find Noreen,” Hubson said with enthusiasm. Although I couldn’t see his face under his cloak, I knew without a doubt that he must’ve been grinning from ear to ear now.
1 took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down, and asked, “What do you mean?”
I had a bad feeling about this.
“We just need to use b***d from someone related to Noreen to lure her into the open. We can ask Sylvia for help!” Hubson confidently presented his plan, crossing his arms over his chest.
I laughed angrily. “No way in hell. Finding Noreen is your own business, and I’ve told you everything I know. Don’t even think about involving the people around meTêxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
