Chapter 92: Chapter 93

Chapter 0093 Chapter 0093 Ella POV “You’re delusional!” The fifth woman, a short redhead, finally pushed her way to the front of the group, her eyes blazing with rage as she locked onto me. “You’re either completely delusional or you know the truth about Alexander and don’t care. Is that it? Are you just trying to help him hurt more people?”

“Your name is Cassandra,” I replied, my voice calm and even, slicing through her fury like a knife.

Her eyes widened in disbelief, “What are you talking about?”

“Cassandra Anderson,” I stated, meeting her furious gaze without flinching. “You’re originally from the Lunar Lake pack, but when your mother remarried, you moved to Briar Rose. Yet, you’ve always felt a part of David’s pack, haven’t you? Always loyal.”

Her mouth fell open slightly as she shook her head, disbelief etched on her features. “How could you possibly know”

“Have you forgotten that I’m the daughter of the Rowanwood Alpha?” I challenged, my heart racing as I glanced from her to the tall blonde and the black–haired girl standing beside her. “I have ways of finding information. Did you really think no one would look into you after you started making accusations against Alexander?”

Nadia and Miranda exchanged shocked glances, their bravado crumbling. “I don’t understand,” Nadia said, voice weak. “What are you saying?”

her “Cassandra never dated Alexander,” 1 declared, my voice rising with conviction. “In fact, she’s never even met him. Neither have Gretchen,” I pointed to the black–haired girl, “or Hyacinth,” I added, gesturing at the blonde. ” If you’d like, I can dive into the backgrounds of the rest of you as well.”

“You can’t possibly know that,” Gretchen said, her uncertainty evident as she glanced nervously between the other two.

“I do,” I shot back, my confidence surging. “And soon, everyone else will know as well. You’ve attempted to ruin Alexander’s reputation, and I won’t let you get away with it”

“What do you mean by that?” Hyacinth asked.

“The way I see it, you have two options,” I said. “You can come clean and give me the information I need to make David pay for this scheme, or I can take your true identities to the media along with proof that everything you’ve said about Alexander is a lie. Then, you can find out what it’s like to have your reputation destroyed.”

The silence that followed was deafening, the weight of my words hanging heavily in the air. The three women exchanged frantic glances, the realization of their precarious position dawning on them, I could practically feel their fear radiating off them, and I reveled in it.

“Choose wisely,” I warned, my voice low and steady. “Because this is the only chance I will give you.!

“No,” Gretchen said, her hands shooting up in defeat. “David didn’t pay me enough for this. I’m out.”

I raised an eyebrow, my voice steady. “I suppose that’s an option too–provided you make a public retraction of the lies you’ve told. If you do that, then you’ll never hear from me again.”

“Fine, whatever,” she snapped, turning on her heels and rushing away, relief flooding her face as she escaped the confrontation.

Hyacinth watched Gretchen flee, her breath coming in rapid gasps that betrayed her rising anxiety. “Are you sure it’s all lies?”

she asked, her white–knuckled grip tightening on her phone as her wide eyes darted back to me. “I #25 BONUS Chapter 0093 know Alexander and I never met, but David told me he only wanted me to share the stories of women who were too scared to come forward. Is it really all a lie?”

“David Lake is nothing but a liar,” I replied, bitterness lacing my words, “Whatever he told you to say about Alexander, I promise you it’s not true. His only goal is to hurt me, and he’s used you to do it.”

Hyacinth shook her head slightly, a tremor in her voice. “Tonly wanted to help,” she murmured, her resolve crumbling as she looked down, barely audible.

“And now that you do,” I pressed, my gaze locking onto hers, “are you going to do the right thing?”

Fear flickered in her eyes, and for a moment, I felt a tiny spark of pity for her. David could be terrifying, but in this instance, so could 1. If she refused to tell the truth, I would follow through on my threats to expose her.
