I nodded confidently. “The results will speak for me.”
The classes of heir that I had despised most in the Silver Ridge Pack played a great role at this time. Thanks to the experiences I accumulated in the Silver Ridge Pack, I quickly sorted out the financial problems of the Xeric Pack.
I eliminated the unprofitable industries, repopulated some deserted territories, and even used ingenious methods to retrieve some debts that were almost forgotten.
The financial problems of the Xeric Pack were soon resolved, which made Gale look at me with newfound respect. She then hired me to be her secretary.
Ever since, the lives of me and my daughter had improved. At the very least, we didn’t have to worry about food anymore. And on the weekends, I was able to take her to the park and spend some much-needed mother-daughter bonding time.
Those dark days were a thing of the past now, Like a bad dream.
“Okay, Paula! I’m done.”
While reminiscing the past, I managed to deal with the bills and handed them back to Paula.
Angela’s Library
Paula was ecstatic. She pulled me into another bear hug and kissed me again, shouting, “Babe, you’re a godsend!”
I smiled politely and returned to my desk.
“Mommy!”
Elena’s childish voice sounded from the door.
I turned around and saw Elena standing at the door, waving at me. She had a pretty face, smiling eyes, and her soft, blond hair was pulled up into two pigtails.
Elena had inherited her father’s glowing blonde hair, so wherever she went, she stood out in plain sight.
“Elena, what’re you doing here?” I ran to her happily with outstretched arms, intending to pick her up. But when I got close, I found that Gale was standing behind her.
Debra’s POV: Elena was an extroverted Little girl. She was one of the few children in the pack who dared to come close to Gale.
Gale was very fond of Elena. She would often bring Elena delicious treats and take her out. She just didn’t show it to outsiders. But today, Gale looked a little cold.
“Paula, why don’t you take Elena out? I’d like to speak with Debra in private,” Gale said seriously.
“Sure. Paula was smart. She didn’t ask any questions. Instead, she bent down to hold Elena’s Little hand and said gently, “Elena, let’s go get your favorite strawberry cake!”
“Okay Elena failed to notice the tense atmosphere in the air. At the mention of her favorite treat, her amber eyes Lit up happily. Without a care in the world, she Left the office with Paula.
“Debra, something urgent has come up and I need you to deal with it.” As soon as Elena and Paula left, Gale looked around to make sure that no one else was here. Then she handed me a thick stack of documents. “Our pack has a property called Roz Town.”
She spread out a map on the table and pointed at an area marked by a red circle. “As you can see, this location is very special. It’s right smack in the intersection of various packs. It was Gamma Adam Cooper who Led our army and conquered this town, so I entrusted Adam with this place at that time.”
