Aria’s POV
Isla’s eyes went wide, like she couldn’t believe what I’d just said.
“Are you out of your fucking mind?” she hissed under her breath. “Nobody’s going to touch me. Because I’m their Lady. You really think they’d dare?”
I chuckled. “Yes, you are a lady, but so am I. Time to see which one of us has more pull around here.”
I turned back to the manager. “You heard me. The dress she’s wearing now, please.”
“This is absurd!” Isla shricked. “You are in my pack and these people are my members. What makes you think they’d listen to you? Security, throw them out!”
The manager looked back and forth between me and Isla, his face full of panic. “P–Please, Lady Aria, Lady Isla… You’re both our most valued guests. There’s no need to fight over a dress…”
“I’m your VIP guest. She’s nothing!” Isla snapped. “Seriously, if you don’t throw them out right now, I’ll have my father fire every single one of you and shut this whole mall down!”
“Don’t worry. She won’t. Because she’s still daddy’s little girl, living under his roof. She doesn’t have that kind of power,” I said calmly, smiling at the terrified manager. “And even if she does get you fired, I’ll make sure every one of you has a job in Frostpine Pack. With better pay. Right, Torvi?”
Torvi nodded immediately. “Of course, Lady Aria. That’s totally within your power.”
The manager looked even more torn. He glanced subtly at Isla, like he was weighing his options.
“Oh my god. I can’t believe it. Are you seriously thinking about listening to that whore, you fucking piece of shit?!” Isla snapped, her eyes bulging.
Damian crossed his arms and said coolly to the manager, “Looks like you’re going to piss one of them off no matter what. So, do you choose the crazy woman who just called you trash or the Lady who promised you a job and a raise? The answer seems pretty obvious to me.”
“This is none of your goddamn business, Alpha Damian.” Isla threatened.
Damian laughed. “You’re right. It isn’t. But I just love stirring the pot.”
The manager seemed to finally make up his mind.
He turned to Isla, his voice polite but cold. “I’m sorry, Lady Isla. I’m afraid I have to ask you to take off that dress.”
Isla looked like he’d just slapped her. “Are you for real? You’re standing on my territory. Your loyalty should be to me, not some joke of a Lady raised in a slum!”
But Lady Aria is right. This isn’t your territory, is it? It’s your father’s. I don’t think Alpha Vladimir would approve of this… behavior,” the manager said flatly.
“Damn you! How dare you speak to me like that? Tell me your name and I’ll have my father exile you, you hear me?”
“First of all, I’m not a member of Spike Hill Pack. I just work here. Second, I’d rather pledge my loyalty to someone who actually respects commoners–like Lady Aria.” The manager countered.
Isla was shaking with rage. She suddenly spun around, grabbed a vase, and smashed it on the floor. “Then I’ll just wreck your fucking store!”
Chapter 164
I watched her coldly
I couldn’t believe I used to think this woman was elegant and perfect. Now look at her. She was like a complete lunatic. Maybe this was her true self all along.
“You can break whatever you like. I’ll send you the bill later. And I believe that vase alone was worth tens of thousands of dollars,” the manager said.
“You think I can’t afford it?” Isla snatched a glass of water from a table and threw it at me. “And this is for insulting me, you
bitch!”
Torvi immediately stepped in front of me, taking the water. She snatched the glass and smashed it on the floor. “Soldiers. restrain her.”
Six of our Frostpine Pack female soldiers moved at once. They grabbed Isla’s arms and shoulders and slammed her against the wall. The mall security just stood there watching. Not one of them moved to help Isla.
Isla struggled furiously. “Have you all lost your minds? This is a crime–assaulting a noble is a seirous fucking crime!”
“You attacked our Lady first. If anyone had broken the law, it’s you,” Torvi said icily. “And soldiers, you heard Lady Aria earlier. Take that dress off her.”
They didn’t hesitate for a second. They grabbed Isla’s clothes and started tearing. That’s when Isla truly panicked, realizing this was for real.
“Aria Collins, call them off!” she cried out, horrified.
I just watched coldly, saying nothing.
My soldiers pinned her against the wall and ripped the dress straight down the back. She kicked and thrashed, screaming the cruelest curses at me.
“You fucking tramp! I’m going to tell Grayson, you hear me? I’ll tell him how you stripped his fiancée naked and humiliated me in public! He’ll get revenge for this!”
Hearing Grayson’s name sent a sharp pang through my heart.
I hadn’t spoken to him since my life turned upside down. We’re broken up.
Maybe the next time we talk will be when he comes for me because how I trashed the love of his life today.
“Good. Tell him. Let him come. I’ll be waiting,” I replied coolly. “Leave the dress. Throw her out. She’s too noisy.”
“Yes, my lady!”
The soldiers dragged Isla out by force, shutting the lounge door behind her. I could still hear her furious screams through the door, but eventually, she had no choice but to leave in shame.
ell done, Lady Aria,” Torvi said, looking at me with approval. “That’s how we treat our enemies. Lady Quentina would be ry proud.”
I gave her a weak smile. “I just hope I haven’t caused too much trouble for her.”
“Not at all. In fact, Frostpine Pack respects fierce women. Alpha Thalira will appreciate this side of you too.”
Zane walked over. He pulled me into a tight hug. “God, I’m so sorry. I wanted to save you on the day of the execution, but…”
“No need to explain,” I said, hugging him back. “I’m okay now. And you? Is everything alright?”

“He’s just fine.” Damian answered for him, stepping closer. “We’ve reached an agreement. As long as he doesn’t try to take the Alpha title. Fin allowing him to live.”
