I smiled back at her. It had to be said that it was very easy to get along with Riley. She was gentle and kind, and she never overstepped her bounds. Adam had managed to marry such an excellent woman, but he didn’t cherish her. It was really disappointing.
While I was helping Riley with the invitations, I secretly kept an eye on the guest list. It seemed that most of the people invited were
Alphas and Lunas from various packs. Just then, my gaze landed on a familiar name among the invitations.
Marley?
Wait a second. Why was the guest list starting to look a little familiar?

I thought hard and finally, it dawned on me. The guests were the people
Adam had run background checks on-the ones whose information was in the documents in the secret chamber in Adam’s study.
“Ivy, have you noticed? The guest list is very similar to the list I saw in the secret chamber.”
Ivy agreed. “Yeah, you’re right.”
“Adam also specially highlighted Marley’s name on the List.”
“I remember that.”
“It’s strange. What on earth is Adam planning?”
I racked my brains, trying to find the connection between Adam and
Marley.
What were they hiding?
The guest list, the names on the documents in the secret chamber, the supposed meeting of old friends, the selling of the town…
Suddenly, a thought occurred to me.
Could it be that…?
I was so shocked by my realization that I became Lost in my thoughts for a moment. At some point, I vaguely felt my fingers knocking something over accidentally.
It wasn’t until I came to my senses that I realized that it was Riley’s melted wax that I knocked over.
Debra’s POV:
“Oh, my Gosh! I’m so sorry, Riley!”
The sudden accident pulled me back to reality. I looked down and found that Marley’s invitation was ruined, having been covered in quick-drying wax.
“Don’t worry about it. It’s just an invitation. I can always write another one.” Riley smiled at me reassuringly. There was no sign of annoyance or anger in her eyes.
Despite my guilt, I felt a little relieved and helped her redo the invitation.
