"Alright, don't be angry. She is just a hybrid. I don't believe that Alpha Connor would want an illegitimate daughter to be his mate. You are the daughter of the Alpha of the Black Thorn Pack. Annette can't be compared to you."
Hearing Leslie's words, Jessica felt a little better. She asked unhappily, "What should we do? What if Alpha Connor really takes a fancy to that bitch? I can't let Annette snatch Alpha Connor away."
Leslie raised his eyebrows and said, "You are right. We should do something. We must make a move first."
Jessica forgot about her anger and asked anxiously, "Leslie, do you have any good ideas?"
"Jessica, we can tell everyone in the world that Alpha Connor has chosen you to be his mate. I believe that he will not disgrace Alpha Randolph."
Jessica frowned and asked, "You mean to ask Alpha Randolph to take action?"
"Alpha Randolph is a righteous man. Without Alpha Connor's permission, Alpha Randolph would not stand on our side, but we can mention it in his name."
Leslie whispered a few words into Jessica's ear.
A smile appeared on Jessica's face.
After Annette returned to her room, Connor had just changed his clothes and came downstairs.
He asked, "Who called you? You chatted for so long."
Annette did not lie. She replied, "Jessica."
"What does she want this time?"
Annette smiled, "Anyway, whatever she says can't hurt me anymore."
Connor couldn't help but laugh when he heard her words. He said, "It's good that you aren't angry. Go change your clothes and have dinner."
Annette responded and went upstairs.
Dinner was as sumptuous as usual.
However, Annette felt her stomach a little upset after just a few bites. She didn't know what was going on.
Then, Connor asked, "What's wrong?"
Annette shook her head. "Maybe it was because of the afternoon tea. I'm not hungry now."
When Annette's gaze swept over the dishes, she frowned and felt like throwing up.
Early the next morning, Leslie brought Jessica to see Randolph without discussing it with Lance.
To their surprise, Randolph did not see them.
The guards of the Giant Wood Pack went out and told them, "Alpha Randolph is not feeling well. He won't see anyone for the time being."
Leslie and Jessica had to go home. Jessica was in a bad mood and made a scene again.
Leslie had no choice but to bring Jessica to the Fisher Group to find Lance.
As soon as they entered Lance's office, they saw that Austin, who had been away for more than a month, had returned.
Austin was reporting the results of his negotiation to Lance.
Once Jessica saw him, she felt wronged. "Why did you come back so late? Didn't you say you were going to help me? Alpha Connor was about to be snatched away by that bitch Annette. What are you going to do?"
Austin frowned when he heard Jessica sobbing. "Jessica, what nonsense are you talking about? Annette is also your sister. Do you have to say such harsh words?"
"I only said one sentence about her, and you couldn't wait to speak up for her. She is a whore. Don't say that she is my sister again. I do not have a sister like her."
"Shut up."
Austin was a little troubled with work.
He planned to talk to Annette after briefing his work to Lance.
After not seeing her for a long time, he missed her a lot.
Unexpectedly, before he could finish his business, Leslie came with Jessica.
Jessica was so willful. Even Austin couldn't stand it, let alone Connor.
"Jessica, do you think Connor will fall for you?"
"Why not? The Black Thorn Pack is also one of the top packs in Akron. He has no reason to dislike me." Jessica did not believe it.
"The Black Thorn Pack is different from you. Have you forgotten that the Black Thorn Pack has a grudge against the Blood Moon Pack?"
"It has nothing to do with me. Also, don't separate me from the Black Thorn Pack. I am the daughter of the Alpha of the Black Thorn Pack. No one can change it." Jessica had always been proud of her identity.
"Do you think Connor would care about the status of the Black Thorn Pack? In the past two months, the profit of the Fisher Group has been negative. Do you know why?"
Austin's eyes were filled with anger. He continued, "You don't know. You only know how to spend money and will never use your brain. Let me tell you. It is all because of Connor. If he wants, he can make the Fisher Group go bankrupt in two years. Do you still think that he'll find you attractive?"
"Austin, how can you say that to me?" Jessica was furious. "It's your and Daddy's fault that the company is not running well. What does it have to do with me?"
"Indeed. It has nothing to do with you. So, if you become a rogue one day, I wonder how you will support yourself."
Leslie looked at Lance with some worry and asked, "Is the situation of the company that bad?"
Lance sighed, "It is bad."
Jessica walked to Lance's desk after a moment of silence. "Didn't Alpha Connor promise to let me be his mate in front of Randolph? Why is he still targeting the Black Thorn Pack? I can go to the Blood Moon Pack earlier, and I won't care if you use me to save the company."
Austin laughed at Jessica's words.
Lance heard Austin's laughter and shook his head resignedly.
Jessica became anxious. She said, "What did you mean? Do you think that I'm not worthy of Alpha Connor?"
Austin replied directly, "It's not about whether you are worthy of him or not. It's that Connor doesn't take you seriously at all."
"You're talking nonsense. If that's the case, why did he agree with Randolph?"
"Randolph only said that he had told Connor about Lance's thoughts. Has he said that Connor agreed with him? Not objecting doesn't mean agreeing. Jessica, don't be naive," Austin explained patiently.
"He didn't reject it. Isn't that just tacit approval?"
"Connor and Harrison are good friends. He respects Randolph, so he didn't refute Randolph. Do you think he likes you? If he wants you to be his mate, why does he still get close to Annette even though he knows about your relationship with her? He ignored you and even strengthened the sanctions on the Black Thorn Pack. Can't you get it?"
"Nonsense." Jessica stomped her feet and turned to look at Leslie with a grievance.
Leslie said, "Austin, can't you be gentler when talking to Jessica?"
"If I don't make myself clear, she won't get it."
Leslie looked at Lance unhappily and blamed him, "Didn't you say that Randolph would help? When we went to him today, he didn't even see us."
"Alright, stop." Lance frowned and said, "The tension between the Black Thorn Pack and the Blood Moon Pack needs to be eased slowly."
"No! Yesterday, Alpha Connor flirted with Annette openly at school. This is a big crisis for me," Jessica said anxiously.
Austin's eyebrows furrowed, and his eyes were deep.
He said impatiently to Leslie and Jessica, "We are at the office and it's not a place to talk about your personal affairs. Go back first."
