Becoming Alpha’s Personal Caretaker
Chapter 38

Lauren POV

Manuel was clearly surprised when he heard me say that, "Really? You're okay with that?"

"Do I have a choice? You've already made a deal with the Lunarko Tribe so whether I'm okay with this or not isn't gonna stop Michael and Janice from getting engaged," I sneered and became very snarky. Manuel said embarrassedly, "It's best for both our tribes."

After hearing that, I looked up and saw the contempt and irony in alpha Victor's eyes. I wasn't so upset anymore and was actually intrigued by the look on his face.

But Manuel on the side of the line thought I was sad when I didn't say anything. He said with guilt, "This isn't fair to you but holding onto this issue will harm our tribes. Lauren, it's very kind and generous of you to take the initiative to call off the engagement. Rest assured, Janice will let you have the Moonlight Jewelry..."

Let me have it?

How dare he say that?

"I don't need an empty shell," I coldly interrupted Manuel and didn't want to say more to him, "call me when you set the date of the press conference." After saying that, I hung up the phone.

Moonlight Jewelry was my mother's life's work and it represented her love. But when Manuel gave this company to Janice, it wasn't the same anymore. "What are you gonna do in the press conference?" asked Victor.

Since I picked up the phone in front of Victor, I didn't keep my plan a secret, "Do you remember that recording of what happened in the parking lot? It's time for it to shine. I'm not the kind of person who would just s**k it and take the fall. I won't hesitate to fight back even if it's my own tribe and my friends' tribe."

I wasn't some kind of innocent little princess and ever since that year, I had become an eccentric in the eyes of others. I wanted Victor to know all about this so I could show him the real me. I wasn't that good for him and I had got a dark side. But unexpectedly, Victor nodded, "Yeah, do you need my help? I don't think a recording is gonna be enough."

He was telling the truth when he said he would prepare my weapons. Janice POV

"What? Lauren said yes?!" I was thrilled and hugged my mother. Even though alpha Kean had compromised and let us get married, there were still people out there who thought I was the home wrecker after Lauren made that speech in the press conference. My mother Lola was also very excited, "Yeah, that bitch finally changed her mind. But she had to say yes because she's gonna look bad if she doesn't break off the engagement now."

"Pff," I grunted with contempt, "if it weren't for that bitch, I wouldn't have had to abort my child to guilt Michael. Mom, Michael really looked forward to that baby."

"That doesn't matter, Janice. What really matters is that you're going to become the Luna of the Lunarko Tribe," Lola shrugged and added after pausing for a second, "and she's lucky that Manuel wants to give her Moonlight Jewelry."

"Moonlight Jewelry? No way!" I gasped, "Michael promised me that he will give me some staff to build a brand new Moonlight Jewelry. Why does she get to have it? If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have had such a hard time in the company. Mom, it doesn't matter if she doesn't break off the engagement. I'm going to be Michael's wife and she's useless now."

This was ridiculous.

Even though Lauren took the design team with her, Moonlight Jewelry was still very well-known in the industry. As long as Michael helped me build my own team, this company would definitely make me a lot of money with all the connections and reputation it had. I would never give up on this moneymaker.

It belonged to me and it had already been mine.

"Don't worry, kiddo," Lola apparently was on the same page with me, "do you really think Lauren still wants this company? She's always on her high horse and she has already turned Manuel down. She's as foolish as her mother."

Hearing that, I was finally relieved, "She's been a big idiot ever since she was little."

I had always hated how condescending and pretentious she was and she was fake as hell. Everyone loved profits, right?

"Just relax and wait for the wedding," Lola patted my shoulder and smiled with relief, "You need to get yourself prepared for the big wedding."

Speaking of this, I suddenly thought of something, "By the way, mom, have you taken care of the thing in the hospital? No loose ends, right? Michael loves me but he really wants a child to consolidate his position in the tribe. If he finds out I aborted this baby without his permission..."

"Relax, I've got you covered," Lola comforted me, "no one will ever see that consent for abortion. And the guy who made the potion and the doctor who gave you the operation are all loyal to me. It's gonna be okay."

I nodded.

Michael really looked forward to this child. I drank the potion in advance and bribed the doctor who was in charge of the operation. These people were all my mother's connections in the hospital but somehow I was still worried about it.

My mom saw right through me and put her hands on my shoulders, making me stand in front of a mirror. I could see how pretty I was in the mirror and I was just like a younger version of my mother. She said, "Don't you worry, Janice. The Lunarko Tribe and the Fullmoon Tribe are all eating out of my hand."

Lauren's mother, that stupidly proud Luna, died and lost the battle to my mother, letting my mother take her place in the Fullmoon Tribe.

And I was on my way to replacing Lauren and becoming the Luna of the Lunarko Tribe.

Now I wasn't so insecure anymore and couldn't wait for the day of the press conference. I wanted to see the defeated look on Lauren's face. Growing up, Lauren always looked so condescending and she had to be the best in everything. But then what? Everything and everyone she cared about was all going to be mine!

Lauren had done so much to stop me but now she had no choice but to compromise and call off the engagement. She said she didn't care but I knew she did!

"I'm gonna wear the most stunning evening dress in the world to the press conference. The second she breaks off the engagement, I'll have Michael give me the most romantic proposal on earth."

I was really looking forward to that day.
