Chapter 99 "Bullshit!" Eric muttered in anger. His jaw clenched as he watched Adrian get on the stage.
Alpha Seth went to greet him while shaking hands with him.
"I can't believe this! How can this even be possible, boss?" Damia askedin a disappointing tone.
All of my company managers lowered their heads. I saw defeat in their eyes, which boiled my blood.
"Alpha Adrian, please say something," the beta of the Storm Forest Pack said to him.
At that time, Alpha Wade handed Adrian a bouquet of different flowers to congratulate him.
My eyes widened as something reflected in my mind. When I shifted my gaze from the bouquet to Adrin, I noticed him smirking at me.
I just wanted to smack on his nasty smirk.
That time, I realized that he was the person who sentthe bouquet of red roses last night.

"Good evening, everyone. I, Alpha Adrian, never forget my pledges to my pack. When I becthe head Alpha of my pack, my father askedto keep all the alliances that he worked hard to unite. This pack is one of them.
I scoffed at his fake words. This man was so fake that! 15 BONU feel disgusted. I had witnessed how he behaved with his father. The way he was speaking right now was like he was an ideal son of his father.
"We will give the Crystal Blood Pack 70% of the profits from the project." Everyone's jaw almost dropped to the floor.
"70%?" I heard voices from behind me. All the Alphas were shocked that Alpha Wade was dealing with something that would only make his pack lose. It was clearly a loss project! "Yes, we will. But the Crystal Blood Pack will send us their 20% pack fighters to help us in war." Everyone turned silent.
It was no longer a project that caused a loss. There was no one who was unaware of the fact that the Storm Forest Pack was filled with dread whenever other packs declared war against anyone. That was the reason why it was a big project for everyone. All the Alphas thought this pack company would agree to give them more than 50% of the profit. However, no one had thought that he would agree with 70%. But helping them in the war was a whole The Crystal Blood Pack was one of the biggest packs and had a large number of pack fighters. Providing their fighting power meant a chance to lose their own pack's power.
Suppose someone sent people to help a pack. What if the rival pack attacks your pack at the stime? "No one can think like Alpha Adrian.' "We can not even think about protecting other packs." "This is the reason why he is the ruler of the largest pack." Other Alphas praised Adrian's ability to think and his fearl attitude.
My eyes were fixed on the man who stood tall and proud on t stage.
"How do you feel about the deal?" the beta asked Adrian.
"I can't say it's nothing to me. This deal was equally importa to me, just like Alpha Wade. The reason is not about my pack company." "Then what is it?" Adrian's eyes met mine as he replied, "Someone thought snatching a few projects could give her th power to pulldown. I just want to show that person who ca shake her confidence." I glared at him. His every word was directed to me. I recalled what he had written on the card.
He planned to get this project just to break my enthusiasm in the business world? I could feel others's gazes on me. Everyone knew who he was talking about. The person who dared to snatch the projects from him was me.
I could not show others what I was feeling right now. I let out a deep breath and tried to calm myself.
"Jason is right. He is a bastard," Eric whispered toin anger +15 B He had also put his effort into this project. In fact, everyone di equally hard work. It was not only my loss but also that of my employees, who worked day and night for this deal.
"I guess your friend was right. Someone was after the deal, an finally, he has got it," I mumbled to Eric.
I looked around and saw other Alphas eyes still on me.
I turned my head to the stage to meet Adrian's gaze again. Hi eyes were inquiring about my feelings about his winning.
I did not let him see what he wanted. In fact, I was the first one to clap for him. Following me, everyone began to clap.
'Boss," Damia mumbled.
"Damia, we should show sportsmanship. Let the winner be happy with the deal." Damia nodded her head and clapped with dissatisfaction.

After the conference, many Alphas ctoand praisedfor how I did not show any hostility toward the Crystal Blood Pack. They said I was just like my father.
Dinner was a buffet that Alpha Wade arranged for us. During dinner m everyone engaged in conversation with one another. I avoided Adrian the whole time.
Considering that it was already late, Eric wanted all of us to go back to the hotel. I attempted to place the drink on a table that I was holding while giving him a nod of approval. Nevertheless, the glass was not p "I'm coming from the washroom in a few mis outside.
Eric agreed with me, and I made my way to the washroom.
After washing the stains from the drink and rubbing them with tissue on my dress, I left the washroom.
When I was heading to the entrance, a voice stopped me.
"Won't you congratulate your rival, Natalia Hanseley?" His voice was full of mockery.
He walked towardfrom behind and turned toto stop my way.
I scoffed and lifted my head to look at him.
"Congratulations, Adrian Miller. You successfully saved one project from scratching away." He looked indifferent to my words.
I paid no attention to him and tried to walk past him. He stepped in my way to stopagain.
His eyes roamed around my face, which madegive him a cold look.
His devilish smirk returned to his face as if he were taking satisfaction from my reaction.
"Why are you so angry, woman? One failure can't make you weak, can it?" X
