Third Person’s POV

Priscilla wasn’t a fool and knew Adelaide was deliberately freezing her out, so she huddled closer to Adelaide for warmth.

Adelaide spread her cloak and wrapped her in it.

Priscilla gratefully leaned on Adelaide, Lance’s mate, and even dozed off.

Two hours passed, the sky had darkened, and the cold had intensified.

The finance manager reported, “Madison, the accounts are verified–they match Luna Adelaide’s records.”

“How dare he!”

Madison smashed another cup, the loud clang jolting Priscilla awake.

She blinked owlishly at Madison’s rage.

Madison seethed, “That bastard, falsifying accounts to embezzle Priscilla and Wanda’s money? I’ll punish him severely.”

Adelaide released Priscilla and said, “The ledgers check out. Since Johnson embezzled, I’ll hand him over to the judiciary. He’ll repay every cent.”

“Adelaide!”

Madison’s tone softened. She sighed, “Wanda was negligent, allowing such fraud. Johnson’s from the Glenveil Pack. If this goes public, it’ll harm both Glenveil and Wanda. Here’s my offer: hand Johnson to me. I’ll make him repay the money. If he can’t, Wanda forfeits her thirty percent stake. The entire Golden Jewelry Store is yours. You know the store’s profits–it’ll keep making money. You won’t lose out.”

“Actually, we’d gain,” Adelaide smiled.

“But family comes first. I can’t let Wanda lose out. Since she managed the store and all the staff are her people, we’re not equipped to take over. But cooperation is impossible now. After such a betrayal, there’s too much bitterness. Relatives should avoid business partnerships to prevent future conflicts. So, we’re withdrawing our shares.”

She slid the contract across the table. “If there’s a loss, we’ll calculate based on our investment. But the store’s profitable now, so our share should increase.”

“As I said, family shouldn’t be so calculating. We’ll take back our investment and profits, and leave the rest,” she continued.

Wanda blanched–she’d rather die than agree.

“No way! I won’t agree!”

She turned livid. “In a partnership, decisions aren’t unilateral.”

“Easy solution.”

Adelaide pushed the ledger forward and said, “Let’s sell the store. Starting tomorrow, we’ll post a transfer notice. Before it sells, we’ll settle our accounts. After the sale, we’ll split the proceeds thirty–seventy.”

Sell the store? Wanda was all for it. The Golden Jewelry Store had a tarnished reputation and wouldn’t fetch much anyway.

“SELL IT THEN!” Wanda snapped.

Adelaide smiled. “Glad you agree. So, about the dividend–shall we send Johnson to the judiciary first, or will you cover the payment?”

Priscilla was confused.

They were supposed to get the store, not sell it.

Madison’s expression was grim. Johnson couldn’t be sent to the judiciary, so she had to foot the bill.

Gritting her teeth, she ordered, “Butler, fetch the check.”
