Third Person's POVAdelaide smiled and said, "It's just a few pink diamonds. I could gift them all to you. What's there to be angry about? But these diamonds are quite valuable. If they fall into someone else's hands, wouldn't that give her a bargain? We can't let her have that advantage."Priscilla clapped her hands and said excitedly, "Great! I've won! I'll go with you to Madison's house right now to get back the pink diamonds and make her lose three hundred thousand dollars! I spent a lot of money on that jewelry store investment before and haven't made a penny. Now, getting three hundred thousand US dollars back from them is just making up for what I gave them last time.""Jewelry store?" Adelaide inquired meaningfully. "The jewelry store you opened with Madison?""Of course! A gold jewelry store that's been open for several years. It's never made a profit, and I have to keep subsidizing the inventory costs..."Priscilla suddenly stopped, reali

Third Person's POVThe brothers were initially discussing daily life, but the conversation gradually shifted to official business. Lycan Erasmus inquired about some cases Lance was handling at the Ministry of Justice.With the year-end closure approaching, early decisions on certain cases were necessary.As these kingdom-related topics were unsuitable for Camilla and Adelaide to overhear, Camilla invited Adelaide to explore the palace gardens.They strolled ahead, trailed by a string of attendants.Camilla said with a smile, "I know you grew up in the Shadow Peaks. It's said that the most beautiful plum blossoms in the werewolf kingdom are there. But please, make do with the palace's offerings."Adelaide replied, "That's a misconception. Plum blossoms from different regions each have their own beauty."Camilla chuckled, "Yes, each has its own charm. Life is full of wonders. I initially thought I would co-manage Lycan Erasmus with you,

Third Person's POVAdelaide's lips curled slightly—finally showing up, huh?She smoothed her hair, glanced at the courtyard, and said indifferently, "Now that Madison's back, I'll wait in the living room.""Sure, Luna Adelaide, just wait in the living room. Madison will come after changing," the omega said hastily.Back in the living room, Adelaide saw Priscilla had finished her snacks and was ordering a fresh cup of coffee, deeming the previous one cold.Priscilla, usually bossy with servants, was being uncharacteristically polite in Madison's manor, treating the staff with respect.Seeing Adelaide return, Priscilla snapped, "Madison's back, making you wait."Adelaide sat down calmly, "Really came from outside, or just emerged from inside? We're in the living room. Unless she used a side or back door, we'd have seen her enter."Priscilla rebuked, "As the manor's owner, she wouldn't use those doors. Do you know proper conduct?""Then I'll wait and see her walk in," Adelaide sipped the

Third Person's POV"I thought you'd quarrel with her, but you talked calmly," Priscilla said with a hint of disdain."Calmness solves problems. We need one hardliner and one peacemaker. We can't break ties completely. With her good relations with royalty and Lunas, if she slanders me, my reputation will be ruined. You don't mind conflict like I do."Adelaide said nothing.She looked at the check, then took out some cash from her wallet and handed it to Susan. "This is for you—a bonus."Susan's eyes widened. "Luna Adelaide, this is two thousand dollars!""Yes, you've cared for Priscilla for years. You deserve a share," Adelaide smiled.Priscilla glanced at her. "Why give her money? She's well-provided for. I take care of her. At her age, extra money might just get her scammed."Susan gratefully accepted the money.From Susan's reaction and Priscilla's words, Adelaide inferred that while Priscilla treated Susan decently, she rarely gave her extra rewards beyond her regular stipend.It w

Third Person's POVPriscilla flipped through the report with enthusiasm, only to find that the few pages recorded only the sales data of low-priced jewelry, with no precious metal jewelry sold.Looking at the final revenue summary, it was in a loss state.The store had lost over ten thousand dollars in just one quarter, more than before.Priscilla was so angry that she trembled and threw the report on the ground, "Why such a huge loss? You need to explain this to me!"Johnson knelt down and said with a wailing face, "Priscilla, you don't know how hard business is now! We tried to stock up at the end of the year to make a fortune, but many of the goods we bought were defective and couldn't be sold. While other jewelry stores are booming, ours is cold and quiet. It's really heartbreaking!"He crawled forward on his knees, picked up the report, and flipped to a page, "Look, it was only with the money you and Wanda provided that the loss didn't exceed two million dollars. Without that, th
