Chapter 66
The news of Baron being thrown into jail spread across the Riverside Pack fast. Soon everyone knew
about it.
And that included the Diaz.
Hellen was in the dining room having lunch with Paul when the news broke. She got so mad that she
poured a whole pot of hot tea onto the maid’s face and smashed the pot against the wall afterward.
“What are we going to do?!” Hellen screamed at Paul, “We spent 20 thousand on Baron so that Owen
could get that job. It hasn’t been a whole week yet and Baron is in jail now? We are basically throwing
away cash!”
Paul was frustrated as well.
The Minister of Finance was on his back every single day pushing him to pay back the missing tax. It
was a hell lot of pressure.
Yet the Diaz didn’t have much money left. Their lavish lifestyle drained their pocket. They wouldn’t have
that 20 thousand to bribe Baron if Paul didn’t sell a few of his diamond watches.
All their hope was on Owen now–hoping that he could have a say in the pack business by cozying up
Baron.
But now, their only leverage was gone!
“I knew this was a terrible idea!” Paul couldn’t help but complain, “We should never bribe Baron! I even
sold my watch for this-”
“The entire family is going down and you are worried about your stupid watch?!” Hellen screamed at
the top of her lungs, her face going red. “And you were the first one to jump on board when Owen
came up with that idea, you dumbass!”
“Stop yelling at me you crazy woman-
Hellen grabbed the tablecloth and pulled, sweeping everything on the table to the floor, “I will yell if I
want to! I said we shouldn’t give up on Harper! But you cold–blooded monster said Harper was
finished! And now what–not only your daughter but your son was also finished!”
“ENOUGH!!” Paul clenched his chest and shouted, spitting all over the place. “I WILL F**KING strangle
you if you yell at me again. I f**king swear!!!”
The couple slumped down on the mess, and both breathed heavily.
After a long while, Paul raked his hair and sighed, “It is too early to assign blame… What we should do
now…is to come up with a plan.”
“Oh, what plan do you have, brilliant mind?” Hellen asked sarcastically.
“Shall we go back to Harper again?” Paul asked reluctantly.
“Your daughter was in the slum scrubbing toilet like a slave! She couldn’t even get Alpha Daran to
make her Luna when she was a princess. Why do you think he will like her now?! No man will like her
the way she is, not even a hobo!”
“Don’t talk to me like that!” Paul snapped, “Well then, I think we should talk to Owen first! It was his idea Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
in the first place to bribe Baron. He should know what to do now!”
Hellen pulled herself up and dusted off the food scraps off her skirt, “Yeah good call.”
The couple hurried out of the dining room and went to find Owen.
They eventually found him in the home gym downstairs, lifting weights.
“Oh my god, Owen! What are you still doing here? The world is about to end!”
Hellen screamed rushing into the home gym and snatching the weight away from Owen, “Haven’t you
heard? Baron is in jail!”
Baron smiled and picked up a towel to drain his sweet, “I heard you, mother. Relax. There is nothing to
worry about.”
“What do you mean?” Paul pursued eagerly, “Do you have a plan already?”
“Baron might be in jail. But do you know who became Gamma after him?” Baron grinned.
“Who?” asked the couple simultaneously.
“His subordinate, AKA his father’s apprentice, Maxie.”
Hellen blinked blankly, “…A woman?”
Paul rolled his eyes, “Pointing a woman as Gamma…Alpha Daran is seriously out of his mind.”
“But this works in my advance, father!” Baron said, “Think about it. With Baron around, I will never get
to be the mainstay. I will always be his puppet. Yet with Maxie…I can finally get my hands on the wheel!
She is weak and fragile-”
“Right. Woman in army is good for nothing,” Paul snorted.
“Exactly. So she needs a strong and capable man like me to fight the battles! I will have many more
chances to shine now, mom and dad!”
Hellen covered her mouth and gasped in joy. Even Paul seemed much happier than he was earlier,
“Brilliant thinking, son. So how is your relationship with this Maxie? Have you talked to her before?”
Owen shrugged, “A couple of times, yeah. I might have punched her a few times during training but
that just proved that I am manly.‘
Hellen and Paul exchanged a worried look.
“I think we should probably come with you to visit this Gamma Maxie… You know. To pave the way for
you,” Hellen said. “I will bring some of my handmake cookies.” Owen shrugged, “I don’t think that is
necessary but if you insist, mother.” He tossed the towel on the floor and pulled a sweety jersey over
his head.
Aren’t you going to wear something more decent, son?” Paul asked. “You don’t know women well
enough, father. They love it when we dress athletically. Show them that we are butch. Let’s go now,
mom and dad.”

Owen took Hellen and Paul to the training field and asked a soldier where Maxie was. He was told that
the new Gamma was in her office right now.
So they went to the Gamma’s office. Owen pushed the door open without knocking and found Janet
and Maxie putting pins on a huge map together in the room.
Hellen’s mouth formed a shocking “o” when she saw Janet.
“What is she doing here!” Hellen pointed at Janet and cried.
Maxie looked at Owen. Her eyes freezing cold.
“What do you want?” she asked.
Owen strode forward very confidently and beamed at Maxie, “I am here to propose a partnership.”
Maxie said nothing and simply stared at him icily. Janet crossed her arms in front of her chest and
asked, “Let’s hear it. What partnership?”
Janet couldn’t hold it anymore. She burst into laughter.
“What are you laughing at!” Hellen snapped furiously, “My son is talking to his new Gamma now!”
Owen rolled his eyes at Janet, “Of course, you are both women. Women are by birth weaker than men.
You can’t argue with the natural course.”
Maxie seemed as though she wanted to punch Owen in his face. But Janet put a hand on her shoulder
to stop her.
“Well, if you say so-
Janet rolled up her sleeves and walked up to Owen, smiling.
let’s do a one–on–one. Right here. Right now. The loser will do laps around the field on their knees
