Becoming Alpha’s Personal Caretaker
Chapter 28

Lauren POV

"Maybe the bond between mates is not as terrible as you think," Mila's a little worried and afraid that I would live under the shadow of my mother, "how can you know that if you don't give it a try? Don't resist the power of your mate and don't reject love. I believe you'll still be brave in love as well and you should enjoy it."

My mother...

Everyone thought the Luna and the alpha of the Fullmoon Tribe were a lovely couple. They met each other on the day they turned 18 and were sure that they were meant to be lovers. The partnership helped them go through every obstacle and made the Fullmoon Tribe grow stronger and stronger.

But alpha Manuel betrayed her.

When he was still in love with my mother, he had an affair with another woman Lola and even had a child named Janice with that woman. My mother discovered his betrayal and ended this partnership by committing suicide.

I remember the time when my mother was so distressed by this bond that her heart could not bear the pain of her mate's betrayal. But maybe because of the bond established between mates, she did not want to cut it off and she always thought that she and my father would spend the rest of their lives together.

But the betrayal of alpha Manuel shattered her illusion.

I was actually afraid that I would also be trapped in this kind of agony, having my thoughts and judgments affected by another person. I was afraid that I would also meet a mate like alpha Manuel so I had always been resistant to it. But now, Victor might be my mate.

"Lauren, this kind of partnership might not be as bad as you think," Mila held my hand reassuringly and said.

"I'll give it a try. But it's not like Victor is definitely my mate. These are just our assumptions," I shrugged and changed the subject, "come on, pick your dress. Pick a nice sexy dress and go find your love."

"If you don't want to choose Victor, you can come to the ball with me and maybe you'll meet a stronger and sexier werewolf than him," Mila winked and handed me a tight dress, "try this on, it's perfect for you. Show off your amazing body once in a while, Miss Lauren."

I couldn't argue with her so I just went to change into this dress. As Mila said, this dress really suited me. The flattering fabric showed my delicate curves perfectly, and the short skirt showed my long legs. I used to wear uniforms all the time and rarely wore such a sexy outfit.

"It is very suitable, but I think I can hardly find an occasion to wear it..." I opened the door of the fitting room and walked out.

But then I saw Mila walking towards me with an angry look on her face, cursing, "This bitch! Janice is having a press conference for her succeeding Moonlight Jewelry, and I don't know who put out the news before that, saying you bullied her, and always stole things from her, describing you as Cinderella's evil sisters."

I reached for Mila's phone.

In the news, they said that Janice was alpha Manuel's baby girl and that I was always bullying her by all means because I was jealous of her beauty and father's favor. The innocent Janice had been putting up with me, but I kept pushing her and even encouraged the Moonlight Jewelry employees to resign in order to take away the company that belonged to her.

The company that belonged to her?

"She's so cheeky," I sighed coldly.

"Why aren't you angry?" Mila was furious and looked even more pissed off than I was, "look at what they've been talking about you now!"

"My God, the Blanco family's Miss Janice is so pitiful, isn't she? She's just like Cinderella."

"Her sister is so vicious that she made Janice afraid to go to school for some time. The wicked sister even forced the maids to isolate Janice."

"That's outrageous! She is also the daughter of an alpha! How can she blame the child for the faults of the parents!"

I laughed at their comments and wasn't even mad anymore, "She's really good at this. She deliberately released this kind of news and then picked this occasion to hold Moonlight Jewelry's succession ceremony, which will surely attract people's sympathy and attention."

I was gonna let it slide but then I saw an even more harsh and unpleasant comment, "With a daughter like that, her mother might also be a vile hag cuz apples don't fall far from the tree."

"I heard that the Luna who committed suicide tried to force the alpha in this way."

My eyes instantly turned grim. Last time at the hospital I warned Janice and the others that they were not allowed to mention my mother again, that they were not qualified to do so. But now it seemed that they still hadn't learned their lesson. The press conference...

They had set the stage for me.

"Where's the press conference for Janice's succession ceremony?" I asked Mila.

Mila quickly searched out the address, "It's not far from here."

I was just worried that there wouldn't be an appropriate occasion for this dress, but now it was the perfect time to wear it.

I quickly paid the bill and went with Mila to the press conference for Janice's succession to Moonlight Jewelry.

A reporter was asking Janice a question, "Ms. Janice, the original designers of Moonlight Jewelry have left this time. Is this the eldest daughter of alpha making things difficult for you? Did she bully you like this before?"

"I..." Janice bit her lip as if she wanted to say something and finally shook her head, "no, it's not my sister's fault. I think it's because they want to go to the company led by sister more."

"But isn't your sister a doctor? What does she have to do with jewelry design?" the reporter continued to ask sharp questions and it was easy to tell that he was someone that Janice had arranged.

"Yes, but maybe my sister doesn't trust me very much," Janice said with an embarrassed smile, "Moonlight Jewelry is the former Luna's life's work and I will surely protect this company and will not let Luna down...

I finally couldn't help but raise my voice to interrupt her hypocritical words and sneered, "When did it become your turn to help me protect my mother's things?"
