Chapter 496

Hazel's sister-in-law, Ansel Leighton, was shocked. She did not expect Natalia to respond like that. Her eyes widened and glowed with anger.noveldrama

"Did you just-'

Lucas Miller, Adrian's father, stopped her from speaking when he noticed the atmosphere growing heated.

"Please don't take her words to heart."

Natalia looked at Lucas to see why he had stopped Ansel. She wanted to hear her out before responding with what she deserved.

A shameless family like Leighton deserved to be insulted rather than respected.

"My sister is very blunt. 'She never considers who is in front of her; she always stands for the truth," Jason stated proudly.

Ansel raised an eyebrow and said, "Then she should stand the truth this time as well. The truth is that someone else is carrying her husband's children. How can she not show her support for the woman? Can't she support the feelings of these two people and make her own decision?"

Natalia clenched her jaw. How did she know what she and Adrian had talked about before they came to the pack house? The argument only happened, and by this woman's words, it was clear that she was aware of all the conversations...

How?

The suspicion inside Natalia's mind grew.

After a moment of silence, Grace Miller started to speak up. She inquired as to whether the Leightons had encountered any difficulties on their way there.

Natalia was only watching her interact so nicely with Hazel's family. Both Hazel and Adrian were quiet from the

start.

She took a close look at Adrian. He did not even move, as if someone had frozen him there.

If anyone looked closer, they would notice he was not blinking. It was as if he were a lifeless body, sitting there with no soul. But Natalia failed to notice it.

She only noticed how calmly he was enjoying the conversations without ing to anything.

As she looked away from him, she felt a dark gaze coming from across her. She realized the old man was staring at her.

She did not break eye contact, trying to see what his gaze indicated to her.

Within a few seconds, she felt a sharp burning in the back of her neck. She hissed in pain, trying not to make a sound so no one would notice.

She reached out her hand and touched the back of her neck. She felt a burning sensation on her "healer mark". Her inner wolf glowed as she pointed her gaze toward the old man.

"I heard my brother supported your pack. Without him, your pack was on the verge of falling."

The old man's brows moved slightly as he observed her boldness in gazing at him and engaging in such conversation.

Ansel saw his angry reaction and quickly spoke out,

"We are so lucky to have him by our side. As I said before, we owe him a lot."

With a question in her mind, Ansel turned her head to Jason.

"Alpha Jason, I wish we could give you anything you want."

Jason shifted his gaze towards Hazel and muttered to her sister-in-law,

"There is nothing you can offer me, Mrs. Leighton. Because what I desired turned out to be rotten."
