Marked By the Pureblood Alpha (Deanna and Luis) novel Chapter 172

**Chapter 172: Bring That Man Here**

In the dimly lit conference room, Luis’s voice resonated with an undeniable authority, slicing through the tension like a finely honed blade.

Maurice felt a jolt of panic surge through him, his already frozen heart now racing wildly in his chest. The realization hit him with the force of a freight train: Ryan had crossed a line, and now the repercussions were spiraling out of control.

Admitting to Ryan’s wrongdoing at this moment would be akin to digging his own grave. If he confessed, the whispers would inevitably swirl around the room like a storm—some would claim Ryan acted alone, sabotaging Bluewave Studio’s reputation, while others would accuse the entire team of a cover-up.

No, he thought vehemently, I cannot let that happen. There was no way he could afford to acknowledge the truth, not now, not ever.

A chill crept through Maurice’s veins, leaving him feeling cold and clammy. “It’s… it’s true. Scoring is preference,” he stammered, each word feeling like a weight dragging him further into despair.

The shadows deepened around Luis’s eyes, his pupils constricting like a predator honing in on its prey. The casual air he had exuded just moments before evaporated, replaced by an icy demeanor that sent shivers down everyone’s spine.

“Then how about we consider firing you for your incompetence as CEO? What do you think about that?” he proposed, his tone laced with disdain.

A collective gasp filled the room, the air thick with shock and disbelief.

Maurice felt the blood drain from his face as he stood there, paralyzed by fear. He was on the brink of collapsing to the floor, begging for mercy as the reality of his situation settled in.

Meanwhile, Felix, who had orchestrated this entire debacle with meticulous care, felt the ground beneath him shift. He had believed his plan was foolproof, but Luis’s unexpected intervention had thrown a wrench into everything.

He had certainly heard the tales of the Mooncrown Pack’s Alpha, a figure notorious for his tyrannical rule and unyielding arrogance. The whispers in the dark spoke of his insatiable desire for control, a man who always got what he wanted. The sheer power of the Mooncrown Pack loomed large in the werewolf world—no one dared provoke this pure-blood Alpha.

Felix turned sharply to his assistant, frustration boiling over. “Why on earth would Mr. Eaton defend Bluewave Studio?”

The assistant, equally bewildered, could only shrug helplessly.
