Third-person

POV

"What did you just say?" Janice grabbed her omega maid's hand hard as her voice turned shrill, "that Jason Andrews really courted Lauren in public? He's into that little bitch?"

The maid could only nod shakingly when she squeezed her hands like this and said in a trembling voice, "That's what I heard. He sent Miss Lauren a bouquet of roses." "What did Lauren do? Did she say yes to him?" Janice said hysterically with her eyes wide open.

"No, no..." the maid answered, "in the end, Jason gave away the roses to the people in the hospital. I think Miss Lauren must have turned him down."

"She turned him down..." Janice murmured and the maid couldn't tell she was glad or angry anymore, "what a stupid, ignorant bitch. Thank God she said no. She doesn't deserve to be..."

The maid was only here to tell her the news but when she heard Janice say things like that, she was petrified and even her legs were already shaking because she was afraid that Janice would lose her temper like she always did and take it out on her. Right now Janice didn't realize how hard she was pinching her and the maid's hand was beginning to turn red and swollen.

Seeing that the maid was trembling out of fear, Janice snorted and took a necklace from her dresser. She paused for a second and then finally picked a pearl. She tossed it at the maid as a treat and said, "This is your reward. If you hear more things like that in the future, just go ahead and tell me."

Even though that pearl was the cheapest one among all Janice's jewels, the maid was still quite excited and wasn't afraid anymore, "Thank you so much, Miss!"

After the maid left, Janice finally stopped pretending. If Susan hadn't come back to the Blanco Estate, she would've smacked everything in this room. But she still had to keep her obedient look with Susan in the estate.

It was all Lauren's fault!

It was all because of that little bitch!

If it weren't for Lauren, she wouldn't have lived like this! She was one step away from getting the inheritance of the Blanco Group!

The more she thought about it, the more wrathful she was. She couldn't let this go and threw the glass vase across the room but she still couldn't cool herself down. All the noises she was making caught Lola's attention. She came into the room and locked the door carefully, saying in a subtle way, "Janice, your grandma is about to wake up."

"I can't stand this crap!" Janice knew what she meant. Recently, Susan had begun to resent Janice maybe because she had failed to defend her in front of Lauren's grandma that day.

"I know. But now you gotta keep your cool," Lola tried to talk some sense into her, "your father's finally about to budge."

"That's not why I'm upset!" Janice didn't need to pretend to be who she wasn't in front of Lola and spoke her mind, "it's Lauren! Jason Andrews' into Lauren now and he's confessed his love in public!"

"What? Then what did Lauren do?"

"That pretentious moron? Of course, she said no!"

Otherwise, Janice would completely lose her mind.

"She thinks she's too good for a playboy like Andrews and she's so stupid that she doesn't realize what a guy like him can offer her. But I just can't stand it, mother! How can she get Andrews' affection? Even Michael's taking Lauren's side now! Why can she have everything?! I can't live with this, mother..."

"It's a good thing that she said no to him," Lola said, "Janice, all you gotta do is to win Michael back and make him marry you no matter what."

Janice grunted irritably, "That loser's still hesitating."

Lola came up with an idea, "Then find a way to get pregnant with his baby so that Michael won't think about her anymore. No matter how reluctant Kean is, he has to arrange your wedding as soon as possible."

But this time Janice didn't blindly agree with her, "The Lunarko Tribe is just a small tribe and Michael isn't even the alpha yet while Andrews..."

Lola knew what was on her mind and scorned, "Janice, you and Michael are engaged!"

"But Jason Andrews is so much better than him!"

"No! Janice!" Lola said with a long face, "we've worked so hard on this marriage contract. At least Michael is easy for us to manipulate. But that man's different and the Andrews family is much more complicated." However, Janice stared at Lola with a strange look on her face, "You're taking this so seriously only because you stole this marriage contract from Lauren's mother, aren't you?"

It wasn't just about the profits. Lola also wanted to show off.

"Janice!" Lola burst out in anger.

"I know what you mean," Janice said calmly, "rest assured, I'll deal with Michael. All you need to do is to think of a way to make father transfer his properties to me as soon as possible if you want Michael and me to get married so badly." Hearing what Janice just said, Lola was pissed off and stormed out of the room.

After Lola left, Janice looked at herself in the mirror. The scars on her shoulder had gradually faded away but she was furious about how strong Lauren had become since that day. She couldn't stand the thought that Lauren was better than her and lived a better life than her! Lauren didn't know anything about how to please a man. How come she could earn Jason's affection!? This was driving Janice crazy!

Though she was the daughter of the Blanco family, Janice had nothing right now! The date of the wedding was still getting delayed and Kean even once said that Lauren was better!

Why? Just because her mother was a Luna?!

Janice's eyes were filled with resentment as she looked at herself in the mirror. Suddenly, her eyes glistened...

In Jason's Mansion.

"Sir, Miss Blanco from the Fullmoon Tribe wants to see you."

Jason was immediately intrigued. He knew it couldn't be Lauren and there was still another Miss Blanco in the Fullmoon Tribe. He wanted to see what Lauren's half-sister was up to and said, "Send her in."

Just as he expected, it was Janice.

Different from her fancy look at the Moondance Ball, Janice was only wearing light makeup and dressed elegantly today. A lot of men would be impressed by the way she looked today but Jason had seen a lot of girls like her and she wasn't outstanding enough to get his attention. Jason eyed her up and down and asked, "Miss Blanco, what can I do for you?"

Janice's eyes flared with disappointment and jealousy but then she hastily covered it with a smile, "I heard that Mr. Andrews is interested in my sister."

"And?"

"I can help you, sir," Janice said, "and I believe that you've already known I'm the one Lauren's ex-fiancé truly loves and I've always felt guilty about Lauren. I can't be happy until she finds her partner. And I believe Mr. Andrews is the one for her and you'll be the perfect partner for my sister. So I want to help you guys."

She looked so sincere and benevolent and other people might be fooled by what she just said. But Jason saw right through her. He grabbed her arm forcefully and sneered, "Cut to the chase, Miss Blanco. If you wanna do business with me, you gotta be honest with me, right?"

The intimidating and vile look on his face sent shivers down Janice's spine and she finally stopped acting and said, "Lauren is a cold-blooded bitch and she won't fall in love with anyone. But I can manage to send her straight to your bed." "Why are you doing this?"

"Because I don't like her."

Jason let go of her and chuckled, "That sounds tempting. Then what do you want in return?"

"Money," Janice said, "but sir, it'll be my honor if I can really be helpful to you."

Jason smiled but then suddenly came closer to Janice and put his big hands on her neck gently, sniggering, "That sounds nice. But if things don't go as planned, I'm afraid Miss Janice has to come."

Janice was terrified but when she heard that, she instantly got excited, "Of course..."

Before she could finish, Jason continued, "To feed the wolves I keep."

The smile on her face froze. She felt like she could see those fierce and hungry wolves outside the window and could feel the shivers down her neck. But now it was too late for her to back away and she had no choice but to nod, "This is gonna work, sir."
