Single Mother of a Werewolf Baby novel Chapter 127

Chapter 127: Welcome to India

The day flew by faster than Eleanor had anticipated. After dropping Freya off at school, she headed straight to the office. As soon as she stepped through the main doors, she found Juliette Blanc already waiting for her.

"Good morning, Elder Juliette," Eleanor greeted her with a nod and a warm smile.

"Good morning, Boss. I was waiting for you," Juliette replied, standing as Eleanor approached.

With pleasantries exchanged, Eleanor led her to her private office at top floor and gestured for her to sit across from her desk. She poured herself a cup of tea and leaned back slightly, ready to listen.

Juliette didn’t waste time. "I’ve finalized the plan," she began, unfolding two sheets of paper and placing them on the desk. "We need to save a total of thirteen individuals from the list. In total, we’ve compiled evidence against fifty-seven people, all of which could guarantee them a minimum of three years to a maximum of life imprisonment."

Eleanor raised an eyebrow. "And the thirteen?"

"They are the ones who could be useful to us politically," Juliette explained. "If we ensure their safety and loyalty, the rest... forty-four people... comprise members of the opposition, the ruling party, high-ranking officials, and influential businessmen. Most are politicians." She handed Eleanor the two pages.

Eleanor took a moment to scan the first sheet, then shifted her attention to the list of thirteen. She read the names aloud, slowly: "Baron John Constantine, Lady Angela Dodson, Baron Ernest Prentice..." She continued down the list of MPs and frowned slightly as she reached the last three names... retired politicians with no current posts.

Juliette noticed her reaction. "Don’t be puzzled by those three," she said. "Though they’re retired and hold no official position anymore, their influence within the party is immense. They might not be active, but they can still make or break a candidate’s future. Oliver didn’t have business dealings with them, but somehow, he came into possession of their old sex tapes. I reviewed the footage myself. It’s clear these recordings were taken several years ago. I suspect he bought them to secure his position."

Eleanor’s gaze hardened. "And now we can use it for leverage."

"Exactly," Juliette nodded. "They won’t risk their reputations... not at their age. In fact, if they realize we’re backing Barron Anthony Hayward Chapman to become the next Prime Minister, they may even throw their support behind us."

"What about the other seven MPs?" Eleanor asked, setting the sheets down.

"They each represent critical constituencies," Juliette replied. "Their influence isn’t just local... it extends into national discussions. Other politicians rely on them, and they hold considerable sway in internal party decisions."

She paused, then added cautiously, "I also believe we shouldn’t let Oliver Brown be captured by the authorities."

Eleanor tilted her head. "Why not?"

"If he’s taken in officially, we lose control of him... and worse, the information he might still be hiding," Juliette replied. "We only searched his house. There could be safes, bank vaults, or secret locations where he’s stashed even more damaging evidence. If he’s desperate enough, he might leak everything. That could backfire on all of us."

Eleanor exhaled slowly, considering the consequences. "Then we capture him ourselves. Interrogate him thoroughly and then... eliminate the risk."

Juliette nodded grimly. "Yes. We need to send a message... not just to Oliver, but to everyone else... that loyalty to us guarantees protection. Betrayal leads to silence."

"Understood," Eleanor agreed. "But we need to wait until next week for the final move. I want to approach those thirteen individuals first and secure their cooperation. Once they’re assured, we can report the rest and initiate a public scandal. Before the authorities raid his home, we’ll have Oliver in our hands."

"Why wait that long?" Juliette asked, a touch of impatience in her voice. "We could move in a day or two."

"There’s a backer behind the Brown family," Eleanor said in a low voice. "A powerful one. Next week, that person will be out of the country... busy and distracted. That gives us the window we need."
