Chapter 32
Baron was dragged to the outside and shoved into a truck.
Soldiers cuffed his hands to the bars and shut the truck’s doors.
Even at this point, Baron was still yelling at these soldiers in rage:
“Hey! Open your damn eyes! I’m your Gamma for fu ck’s sake! You dare to lock me in here? Wait till I
get back! I will snap your fu cking hands!!”
“Stop yelling, Gamma Baron.” Glen walked to the truck and looked up at Baron with a smile. “You can
use some of that strength later.”
Baron glared at him furiously, “What the fu ck are you doing here?!”
“Janet and Alpha Casper asked me a favor.”
Glen opened the truck’s passenger’s door and hopped in.
“I am tagging along as the third party to make sure that this punishment is carried out rightly.”
“You son of a bitch!!”
Baron shook his handcuffs against the bars and cried, “You are definitely here to gloat! Let me go! Just
fu cking let me go!!”
But no one listened to him.
The truck slowly took off from the hotel and drove into the central downtown.
Its presence caught people’s eves immediately.
People stopped on the street and started to gaze at Baron in perplex.
Baron’s face gradually turned red.
He wanted to hide his face under his elbows, but he couldn’t because his hands were cuffed to the
bars.
And the speaker installed on top of the truck started to broadcast:
‘…I, Gamma Baron of the Riverside Pack, hereby apologize for my mistakes. I cheated in the
competition and gave my competitors the wrong map, leading them into the bear cave. I put Gamma
Janet’s life in risk. I disappointed my Alpha and all my soldiers. I’m evil and despicable…”
Baron cried desperately within the sound of the broadcast:
“No! No! It’s not me! I didn’t do it! I’m here taking the blame for one of my soldiers!
For fu ck’s sake! Turn down that broadcast!”
But nobody heard him.
The broadcast even got louder as it started to repeat itself:
“…I, Gamma Baron of the Riverside Pack, hereby apologize for my mistakes. I cheated in the
competition…”
Baron’s furious voice was completely drowned by the noise.
More and more people were gathered by the streetside to see the parade. They pointed at Baron and
whispered to each other:
“Look, that is Gamma Baron.”
“I heard that he had done many shameful stuffs before. But nobody dares to challenge him because of
his power.”
“He totally deserves this. Well done.”
A few kids even followed the truck and spat at Baron.
Baron was in rage.
But there was nothing he could do but to bear with the public humiliation as the parade went on.
At this moment, on the top floor of the hotel, Daran was looking down at the parade closely.
“You knew he was guilty,” a voice came from behind him.
Janet walked up to Daran with a cold look on her face.
“He was clearly behind everything. Yet somehow, he managed to get Maxie to take the blame for him!”
Janet stared at Daran with a stern look:
“If I didn’t step out today, are you going to punish Maxie instead?”
Daran looked back at her calmly.
“Of course not.” He said, “I was going to talk to my executioner and ask them to dig deeper into the
case.”
Janet let out a sneer. “And how long is that going to take? While the investigation is
still going on, do you think Baron will just stop telling everyone that Maxie is guilty? Eventually, people
just stop caring about the truth anymore. Because they are all convinced that Maxie is the real
criminal!”
A furrow appeared between Daran’s brows.
“How do you know about these stuffs so clearly?” he asked.
How?
Because that was how Harper treated her in the past.
Janet knew very well what it felt like to be charged with a crime that she didn’t convict.
“Anyway,” Janet said evasively. “You should pay more attention to Maxie. I think she is blackmailed by
Baron somehow.”
She turned to leave.
But Daran grabbed her hand and stopped her.
“We are not finished here!” he said in a strained voice, “You still haven’t told me how you got those
frostbites. And how do you know about these stuffs so well? And…”
There were so many things that he didn’t know about Janet.
He used to find his Luna very dull and boring.
Plus, according to Harper, evil.
But ever since that kidnap, Janet had changed.
Or maybe she didn’t change at all.
He just never really understood her in the past.
“Tell me, Janet.” Daran said eagerly and stepped closer to her. “Answer my question-‘
“Please let go of her Alpha Daran.”
A tall figure appeared around the corner.
Casper strode over and rescued Janet’s hand from his grip.
Darting a warning look at Daran, Casper snorted, “Janet had suffered enough. I think she can use a
few peaceful days away from you guys. Now, please excuse us.
Then he warped his arm around Janet’s shoulder and took her away, leaving Daran to stand by the
window alone with a frustrated look on his face.

The parade carried on throughout the entire afternoon. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Baron’s voice eventually became hoarse because of all the screaming. His hands were bleeding from
his struggles against the handcuff.
The truck finally took him back after 5 hours of suffering.
People gradually spread out on the street. Everybody was talking enthusiastically about the awkward
look that Baron had on his face.
Harper was among the crowd as well
But she seemed more furious than happy.
Coming back to her own house, Harper dashed across the living room in fume and burst open the
kitchen’s door.
“I’M SO FU CKING SICK OF HER!!!!” she screamed.
Paul, Hellen, and John were all having afternoon tea in the kitchen.
And they all turned to look at her.
Harper stormed into the kitchen and paced back and forth in the room anxiously.
“That bitch…how on earth did she get Daran to punish Baron for her? I can’t believe it…she doesn’t
have that kind of influence on Daran…no…”
A maid just came into the kitchen carrying a pot of hot tea.
Harper jerked around and glared at the maid:
“Who told you to come in here? Are you here to laugh at me as well?!”
“No miss. I-”
Harper grabbed the tea pot and poured the boiling hot tea directly onto her face!
“GET OUT!!” Harper shrieked sharply, “OUT, OUT, OUT!!”
The maid covered her face crying and ran off.
Hellen stared at the maid’s back and frowned, “That disrespectful little rat. I must fire her latter.”
Then she turned to her daughter and the smile came back to her chubby face.
“Don’t panic my sweetheart. Sit down and talk to me now-
something!!”
Before Hellen could say anything, Harper started screaming hysterically and breaking glasses and
plates like crazy.
“Well…”
John shrugged, “As far as I’m concerned, Janet can only be this aggressive because she had a
powerful man.”
“…Alpha Casper?” Harper murmured, still breathing heavily.
“Yes. Without Casper’s support, we can easily get rid of Janet.” John said, “All we need to do right now
is to break his connection with Janet.”
“But how?” Hellen frowned, “Janet is his Gamma!”
“You are sure that they are lovers?” Hellen asked.
“Absolutely. Everyone is saying it on the street.”
“Awesome!” Hellen cried excitedly, “Then we just need a person to seduce Casper. Let me think. Who
is qualified…
“Why bother looking for somebody else?” Harper suddenly said.
She stuck out her chest and chined up proudly:
“I think no one can do a better job than me.”
