The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia)
Chapter 209 The Ring

Alina's POV:

As I took a sip of wine, I browsed through the school forum and was in a good mood. The news should appear on it in a while.

Not only would this plan of mine ruin Sylvia's reputation, it would even make her notorious for the rest of her pathetic life! Ahead of time, I already hired a lot of people to slander her on the Internet. At that time, Rufus would definitely be disgusted with her.

While I was focused on watching the news unfold, my door was suddenly burst open.

The door swung open so hard that it hit the wall like a thunderclap. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

I was startled by the sound. Cursing, I turned around and saw Warren walking in my direction. "What are you doing here?" I jumped up from the couch and looked at him warily.

"Were you the one who did it?" Warren did not beat around the bush.

"What... What are you talking about? I don't understand."

"Oh, you don't understand? Okay, well, let me backtrack a bit for you then. Did you know that Sylvia got drugged?" Warren gave me a cold glare.

I pretended to think about it and then replied to him in an even colder tone, "No, I didn't know. Who would even pay attention to that bitch?"

"No, of course you know about this!" Warren raised his voice at me, which was unusual. "Even the guards at your door are talking about how Sylvia got drugged. You are such a liar, Alina."

My body trembled for a second, and I had to take a couple of steps back to regain balance. "Warren, how could you to talk to me like that? I already said I don't know anything. Are you actually accusing me? You have the wrong person."

Warren let out a crooked smile, as if he had heard a big joke. "I saw you at school that day and chased after you. But I was lured right into a corner and fell victim to an ambush. How can you say this had nothing to do with you, Alina?" I didn't dare look him in the eye. I continued to argue, "That wasn't me. Someone must have disguised as me to deceive you!"

I knew how powerful and guarded Warren was at all times, so I obviously couldn't force him to do anything. That was why I planned to lure him instead into a trap. I wore clothes that Warren was familiar with, but I deliberately covered my face, thinking that I could get away with it later on. However, I didn't expect Warren to be so sure that it was me.

"Look, if you don't believe me, you can even ask Queen Laura. I was with her that day," I added.

"What makes you think I won't actually do that?" Warren's expression hardened, which put me at unease. I just made up that excuse right now. I was not actually at Laura's place that day.

Until now, I always believed that Warren still had feelings for me. No matter what happened, I thought he would always show me some mercy.

But with the way he was acting towards me now, I concluded that he might not care about me as much anymore.

"Alina." Warren slowly raised his cold and indifferent eyes, an expression he had never shown me before. "We grew up together. I know you very well, down to your tiny movements. Most especially, I know when you lie. Yet here you are, trying to fool me with such a lame excuse. Do you really think I could have mistaken someone else for you? Don't be ridiculous."

He laughed out loud. The irony in his voice made me feel ashamed.

"Well, whatever you're accusing me of, I didn't do it." I pretended to be indifferent and pointed to the door. "You should just go, Warren. I don't think this conversation is going anywhere."

There was an expression on Warren's face that I could not read. He then sighed and took out what looked like a ring from his pocket.

I was shocked. It was my ring! I searched for that ring in every corner of my residence for the past few days, but I never found it. How was it in Warren's hand right now? Immediately, I reached out and tried to wrestle the ring from his grasp.
