Chapter 45: Chapter 45: All Spoiled

Luna Sutton curled her lips and continued, “However, I only give food to those who help. If you don’t help, once it’s ready, there won’t be any for you.”

It’s not that she really needed him to work, she mainly needed the dog man’s attitude; even if he only helped with one bowl, it would be enough.

Wanting to eat but unable to lower his pride, always acting superior, even if he’s the target to be won over, it won’t work.

I already reach peak disgust, I can’t continue hating.

Corbin Crowley’s face instantly fell when he heard this; this damned fat woman dares to threaten him?

Not only is he a rare Silver-moon Grey Wolf, he’s a Peak of Tier Five Beastman, half-step Sixth Rank; apart from the leader, he is the strongest in the tribe, Rhys Blackwood at most can match him.

When has he ever suffered such humiliation?

Smelling the meat fragrance drifting through the air, his face became even darker.

Damned aroma, damned tempting…

Ultimately, his dignity overcame him, he snorted coldly, turned, and strode away.

Luna Sutton watched his departing figure, her lips slightly upturned, not having much of a reaction.

The dog man is proud and stubborn, his self-esteem is particularly strong, it’s something his prowess granted him. If it doesn’t work once, then twice, and if twice doesn’t work, then three times…

She has patience and confidence, one day she will get the dog man to willingly do things for her.

Even, fall in love with her.

Plus, she has the system’s golden finger, conquering Corbin Crowley is merely a matter of time.

Thinking this, she turned back into the cave, ready to check if the venison stew was done.

Rhys Blackwood, Zeke Veridian, and Malachi Arcanus watched Corbin Crowley’s departing figure, a thought simultaneously arising in their minds: were they being a bit too spineless?

To be so obedient, all for a mouthful of meat?

Exchanging glances among themselves, they saw the embarrassment in each other’s eyes.

Especially Rhys Blackwood; his strength is not a jot inferior to Corbin Crowley, suddenly feeling a bit outdone.

Actually, it’s just a different way of interacting; if Rhys Blackwood and Corbin Crowley switched places, he wouldn’t easily bow either.

Rhys Blackwood is cold and taciturn, though not as domineering as Corbin Crowley, the pride in his bones is no less than the other.

It’s just a different initial way of interaction. Although he dislikes Luna Sutton, even hating her, there hasn’t really been any conflict.

He helps make things, Luna Sutton is responsible for making delicious food for them, it’s merely a transaction, fair and just, no need to feel shameful.

Thinking this way, the sense of being outdone and humiliated instantly dissipated, and they continued working.

…

Quinn Morgan was on her way back, her face very grim.

The aroma had wafted all afternoon, making her drool dry.

Though knowing Luna Sutton wouldn’t possibly send her food, due to Mia’s few words, she still held a bit of expectation, waiting eagerly.

But she waited until night, and that brat’s shadow never appeared, nor did she send over anything delicious, making her face look even worse.

“The heartless thing, raising her was a waste, had I known, I should have thrown her into the forest to feed wild wolves when she was born, better than suffering today.”

Quinn Morgan cursed as she walked.

Soon, she returned to Lyle Sutton’s abode; she and Lyle Sutton were partners, so naturally lived together.

But as soon as she entered the stone house, she faced Lyle Sutton’s stern gaze.

Quinn Morgan was startled by Lyle Sutton’s gloomy look, feeling inexplicably guilty.

But thinking she’s always been careful, not revealing anything, that sense of guilt dissipated again.

Looking at Lyle Sutton, she frowned and asked, “Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?”

As she spoke, she raised her hand to touch her own face.

Lyle Sutton looked at her innocent and bewildered expression, only feeling repulsed.

How did he never notice this woman’s good at pretending?

If he hadn’t sent Wolf One to investigate, he wouldn’t know she had long betrayed him.

His icy gaze fell on Quinn Morgan, coldly asked, “I heard you went to see Luna today?”

Quinn Morgan didn’t know why he was asking. She’s the Matron of that bitch, isn’t it normal to visit her?

Is this worth Lyle Sutton mentioning?

“Yeah, I heard she first awakened an ability, can weave baskets, identify mushrooms, now even make delicious food, with that aroma floating around the tribe all afternoon, so I went to see her, and found it’s really good to eat.”

Saying this, her face showed a satisfied look, “Luna’s finally sensible, I don’t know how she suddenly learned so much, but seeing her improve, as the Matron, I’m finally relieved.”

She initially wanted to complain to Lyle Sutton, saying Luna Sutton didn’t give her good food, insulted and threatened her, but seeing Lyle Sutton’s ugly face, suddenly brought it up; afraid that brat had already been here.

Lyle Sutton’s heart sneered repeatedly.

Luna’s cooking is indeed delicious, he just ate it this afternoon, reminiscing about it now, it’s still tantalizing, he can’t help but want more.

However, he can’t be blind to Quinn Morgan’s usual hatred and prejudice against Luna, how can he not see?

Thinking about it, his gaze stabbed at Quinn Morgan, “Usually you hate Luna the most, treat her badly, she fears and avoids you, can’t wait to avoid you, how could she let you eat her cooking? Must have been you grabbing it?”

Quinn Morgan was displeased upon hearing this, “Lyle Sutton, what are you saying? Even if I dislike her, she’s my daughter, I’m her Matron, what’s wrong with me eating a bit of her food?”

This was admitting she took it.

But she didn’t think it’s wrong, nevertheless, Luna Sutton is her child, no matter how badly she treats her, that brat must support her.

Let alone it’s just eating a bit.

Lyle Sutton was amused by her self-righteousness.

This is Quinn Morgan’s logic, clearly not liking Luna, treating her badly, also obstructing him from giving Luna things.

Saying Luna is lazy, greedy, and malicious is because he’s spoiled her, as her Afather he didn’t teach well, always protecting her, leading Luna to become increasingly outrageous.

He admitted it was his fault for spoiling the child; in response to Quinn Morgan’s rebuke, he hadn’t said anything.

And followed her advice by not interfering.

Thinking Quinn Morgan as Luna’s Matron, wouldn’t harm her anyway.

But now that he knew Quinn Morgan had an affair with Aidan Veridian and birthed Mia, when he thinks back, it’s completely different.

Lyle Sutton’s face grew darker at the thought.

He looked coldly at Quinn Morgan, said in a chilling voice, “Quinn Morgan, what’s your relationship with Aidan Veridian? When did you start up?”

The topic changed too quickly, Quinn Morgan didn’t react immediately.

But understanding Lyle Sutton’s words, her face instantly changed.

She and Aidan Veridian had been together for nearly twenty years, always sneaking around, every rendezvous in the woods, carefully, never discovered.

How did Lyle Sutton find out? And even question her directly?

Suddenly, Luna Sutton’s face flashed in her mind, this afternoon the other party interrogated her, asking why she’s always protective of Mia, maybe having a special relationship?

At the time she was very flustered, but ultimately managed to muddle through.

Could it be Luna Sutton didn’t believe her words at all, ran off to tell Lyle Sutton something?

Did this lead Lyle Sutton to suspicion, now testing her?

Quinn Morgan looked up at Lyle Sutton, meeting his gloomy face, feeling inexplicably guilty inside, yet forcing herself to calmly say, “What are you talking about? When did Aidan Veridian and I get together? Lyle Sutton, if you accuse me, you should have evidence.”
