bA /bfew bdays /bterb, /bgrandmother’s birthday banquet arrived as scheduled.

bI /bbgot /bbup /bearly, put on a trailing dark green dressb, /band pinned up my hair.

After arriving at the banquet venue, I took out the gift I had prepared from an exquisite gift box – a silver obsidian protective pendant, forged from ancient silver from Moonlight Mountain and set with rare silver obsidian.

bIt /bwas said to protect bloodlines and calm the spiritb, /bespecially suitable for elderly werewolf elders to wear.

When grandmother breceived /bthe giftb, /bher eyes crinkled with a smile, though they also misted slightly: “You always remember that I love these old thingsb./bb” /b

b“/bAs long as you like bit/b.” bI /bsmiled and helped her sit down in a chair.

Looking at the crowding and going, grandmother suddenly asked: “Why didn’t Ferriseb? /bDoesn’t he apany you back every year?b” /b

I was startled, then smiled after a moment, my tone gentleb: /b“He’s been very busy with pack affairstely and really couldn’t get away.”

Grandmother sighed and said nothing.

Soon after, guests began arriving. I received gifts and led guests to their seats, but noticed their expressions seemed somewhat awkward.

‘Sorry, I have another banquet to attend today, so I need to leave early.”

I didn’t try to detain them much and politely said goodbye.

I thought this was just an isted case, but half an hourter, many people left after just giving their gifts, and quite a few didn’te personally but had

assistants deliver their gifts instead.

We had reserved many tables, but given the current situation, probably more than half the tables would be empty tonight.

On such a joyous day, with a carefully prepared birthday banquet, this situation was urring…

f grandmother found outter, she probably wouldn’t feel very good about it.

couldn’t help but frown. When the fourth batch of guests got up to leave, I finally asked: “The banquet hasn’t even started yet – why are you in such a hurry to

beave/bb?/bb” /b

They smiled: “Ah, we’re really sorry, but we have to rush to another banquet… Miss Ashley is also hosting a housewarming party today, quite a grand affair. I

heard Alpha Ferris is there too.”

Hearing thisb, /bmy expression changed dramatically.

Ashley definitely did this on purpose, deliberately scheduling her party for today.

The guest lowered their voiceb: /b“There’s nothing bwe /bcan do about it – after all, Ashley has Alpha Ferris backing her. Everyone’s saying she’s Silver Moon’s mysterious Luna, and who dares not go…”

bEven /bif Ashley wasn’t the legendary Luna, it seemed like Alpha Ferris making her his new mate was just a matter of time.

If they offended Ashley, it would be equivalent to offending Alpha Ferris.

They couldn’t afford to offend Ferris.

At this time, Cynthia and Milo also arrived at the venue.

After understanding what had happened, Cynthia directly cursed: “They’re absolutely despicable and shameless! I’ve never seen such disgusting people!”

Milo patted my shoulderfortingly,

After a while, his phone rang. After looking at the message, he paused and said: “I’ll help you find someone.”
