Barton’s angry voice sounded from the other end of the line.
“I told you to win Caleb’s favor, not Adam’s! Why on earth would you do such a shameful thing? Don’t you know what our family’s going through right now?”
Blushing furiously, Janiya asked cautiously, “What do you mean, Dad?
What happened?”
“Caleb has suspended all our projects in the Thorn Edge Pack. Even our businesses in other packs have been affected.”
ALL the color drained from Janiya’s heavily made-up face. “Why would you do such a thing, Caleb? When will the projects resume?”
I leaned back in my chair leisurely and examined my clean fingernails.
“It’s just a routine inspection. You don’t have to worry too much. As for when the projects can start again, I can’t say for sure. It depends on how things will play out.”
“You’re so heartless, Caleb!” Janiya spat at me through gritted her teeth.
I smiled. “No, I was just responding to your extortion. Compared with what you tried to do to me, I’d say we’re even.”

Janiya was rendered speechless.
Seeing that the timing was perfect, I turned my head to lock eyes with
Adam. “You see? No matter how rich and powerful the Barton family is, I can make them Lose everything with the snap of my fingers. This is the true power of an Alpha.”
But Adam seemed completely unfazed.
“I’m not Like the Barton family.
I’m not afraid of Gale at all. She could never do the same thing to me.”
“You really think so?” I faked a smile.
“Then it seems you’ve made up your mind to cooperate with someone else. Am I right?”
Adam chuckled and said with a smile, “I never said that. How about we both give it some time and think it over?”
It seemed that Adam was still a man who cared about nothing but his own selfish interests. He wouldn’t change his plan so easily for the sake of his new mistress.
I could see that this cunning man still wanted to make the deal with me, so I hinted at Carlos to stay.
“I’m afraid I have other plans today, Adam. I can’t stay any longer. My
Beta will stay and talk with you.”
Carlos nodded in understanding and decisively sat down to talk with
Adam.
