The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover

Chapter 1638

Kate’s words were like a sharp stab, piercing deep into Harper’s heart. The rosy color on her face

instantly faded, leaving only a pale complexion.

Suddenly, Harper could feel Anthony’s pain from years ago. His gentle and noble face, which seemed

kind–hearted, why did he say something so hard to accept?

She didn’t have parents, so how could Kate not know when she had looked into her background?

Kate was clearly intentionally hitting her sore spot…

Harper, who had originally intended to mate Preston, suddenly had a change of heart.

Matingwas not just between two individuals, but also between two packs.

Having grown up without a pack, she naturally longed for a warm and loving pack on the male side. But

the woman in front of her…

Harper clenched her hand and dug her nails into her flesh, stabilizing her emotions. “Mrs. Knight, I

don’t have parents…”

Kate didn’t even pretend to look surprised and said directly, “I know, that’s why I think you and Preston

aren’t very suitable…”

The implication was that a pup raised without parents couldn’t match her son.

If it were someone else’s parents sitting across from her, Harper would have left a long time ago. But

facing Preston’s mother, she didn’t do that, even though she was hurting inside. She bit her lip and

endured.

She would do this solely because of Preston. It couldn’t be denied that she liked Preston and couldn’t

let him go. So, for him, she should try to fight for it.

Thinking this, Harper loosened her tightly clenched fist and calmly looked at Kate. “Not having parents

is not my fault. You can’t think that just because of this, Preston and I aren’t suitable.”

Harper didn’t directly address the hidden meaning behind Kate’s words, she simply continued along

with her words. But to Kate, it seemed like Harper didn’t understand when to give up. “I didn’t want to

be too harsh with my words, but since you don’t understand, let me make it clear.”

It seemed like Harper could guess what Kate was going to say next. Her face grew even paler, but Kate

ignored her emotions and continued to embarrass her.

“Let me put it like this, my son comes from an influential pack, he graduated from an Ivy League

university and is a computer genius. You only graduated high school and have no special skills. He’s

never been mated, but you’ve been unmated. He’s

currently the CEO of the Asia–Pacific region, while you run an entertainment venue. There’s a big gap

between you in terms of birth, education background, marital status, and social status. Do you think

you deserve him? ”

After such a comparison, Harper truly couldn’t match up to Preston. It was only natural that his mother

didn’t agree.

Harper thought about this and felt even more that she wasn’t good enough for Preston. But Preston

said he loved her and wanted to mate her. Could she disappoint him?

Harper lowered her gaze and hesitated for a long time. Then she slowly raised her pale face and stared

at Kate, who had never experienced hardships due to her high–born and sheltered life.

“I couldn’t choose my background, and as for my education… Mrs. Knight, do you know that when you

don’t have money to eat, how can you focus on your studies? At that time, I just wanted to fill my

stomach. After all, who can endure not eating or drinking for five days and nights…”

As she said this, tears suddenly filled Harper’s eyes. She herself couldn’t go without eating or drinking,

nor could she stop Taya’s medication or deny Silas’s education. Being the older one, she had to set an

example and take care of them.

Upon hearing the words “not eating or drinking for five days and nights,” Kate was somewhat shocked.

It seemed like she could understand how difficult it was for orphans to survive in society. But because

the orphan in front of her was going to mate her

son, she chose to turn a blind eye.

“I sympathize with the hardships you faced as a pup, but I didn’t cause them.”

Indeed, it wasn’t Kate’s fault, but those words still hurt Harper. However, she was foolish to say these

things to Kate. What was the point? People born into wealthy packs, how could they understand the

hardships of the common folk?

When she was studying, she only focused on finding part–time jobs, thinking that if she started working

early, she could earn more money and help Silas and Taya, who had better academic performance.

She thought that if they succeeded, it would be equivalent to her own success.

Later on, it turned out to be true. Silas and Taya were both outstanding. She felt that this was enough,

but she didn’t expect that both Jayden’s mother and Preston’s mother would still care about these

things.

She couldn’t decide her background, and she wasn’t

academically outstanding. She felt that she was just an ordinary person, so she mated an ordinary

person, hoping to live a peaceful life. But things didn’t go as planned, and a bunch of troubles forced

her to climb up.

But what kind of position could a person like her reach?

She didn’t have a good pack, no one to help, and no connections. All she had was the inheritance left

by Silas. If it weren’t for this inheritance, she wouldn’t even be able to become the manager of a night

venue.

For ordinary people, it’s really difficult to achieve great success. So, how could she not hope for a good

family background,

being nurtured and educated from birth to adulthood, having experienced the wider world at a young

age, and having better genes like Preston…

But she didn’t have that background or those parents. She could only rely on herself to struggle and

climb up.
