The 5-Time Rejected Gamma And The Lycan King Chapter 81

As for the company they transferred the money to, it changed every five years. For the first five years, it was to Rénova & Co. In the subsequent five years, it was to Hanabell Poll & Co. In the following five years, it was to a firm called Tellilla & Associates. And in the final three years and early this year, the money was transferred to Wu Bi Corporation. Brigetta and Annie looked up the names of these companies. The first three didn’t exist. The most recent one, Wu Bi Corporation, had more than ten subsidiary companies, which in turn had further subsidiaries. The chain was long and seemingly infinite.

When Annie made everyone pause to take a break while she, Christian and Oliver went to the kitchen to get everyone a snack, Lucianne went to stand in front of the huge window in the study and stared into space. Xandar approached his mate and joined her at the window. His hand rested on her shoulder, and his thumb started drawing comforting circles on her skin as he desperately tried to ease her tension.

He linked in a low, ominous tone, ‘Looks like you were right. There is someone we don’t know yet.’

‘I prefer to be wrong about this.’

He kissed her temple before continuing, ‘We’ll find out who it is…or who they are. We’re making good progress already. We’ll figure it out.’

‘I know that. I just…hope that we’ll figure everything out before anyone gets hurt.’ Lucianne looked at Russell, who was concentrating on his homework before she linked, ‘We promised to protect them, Xandar. I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself if anything happened to any of them.’

“Hey, come here.” Xandar said soothingly and pulled her into a hug as he whispered, “They’ll be safe here. We’ll catch these culprits before anything happens.” He kissed her forehead, and when they turned back to everyone in the room, Lucianne dropped her worried look, replacing it with a calm demeanor.

Christian, Annie and Oliver re-entered the room carrying trays of cupcakes and pudding. Russell’s eyes snapped up when he saw the food and he looked at his mother, as if asking for her permission. Ellia gave him an approving nod, granting him permission. And Russell smiled radiantly as he left his homework and ran towards the snacks.

He took two cupcakes from the tray and ran towards Lucianne. He lifted one of the cupcakes up in her direction. Lucianne smiled and accepted the cupcake from Russell before pecking a kiss on his forehead and thanking him. The little boy was on cloud nine as he dashed back to his mother’s side to tell her that Aunt Lucy gave him another kiss.

Knowing how Xandar would react, Lucianne pecked a kiss on his cheek after Russell left. Xandar’s annoyed face turned soft, and he pecked a kiss on her nose before they joined the others on the couch, with Lucianne seated on his lap.

The families seem to be finding it easier to be around the royal family, and they spoke and laughed more freely than when they first arrived. Lucianne and Xandar helped Annie send the trays back to the kitchen. Russell followed closely behind, carrying two emptied cups as he followed the adults. He refused to leave the kitchen until the three adults he followed made their way back to the study.

They continued looking into Wu Bi Corporation. On the internet, the corporation was registered as being a textile manufacturer. However, there is no such brand in the clothing market. They then thought that the corporation manufactured fabrics and clothing for other brands and companies. But to their dismay, there was also no such information to confirm their thoughts. The corporation’s business dealings were confidential so no one knew who it was doing business with. Xandar and Christian said they had to pull a few strings to dig deeper into Wu Bi. That evening, there was nothing more anyone could do.

After bidding their goodbyes, Lucianne, Xandar and Christian left to attend dinner in the dining hall. When Lucianne wasn’t looking, Christian mind-linked Xandar, shooting his cousin and best friend a sad but grateful smile before getting into his car. Xandar returned his smile but the King himself was sad too.

He got into his own car where Lucianne was already waiting for him and started the engine. Xandar started pondering on the best way to tell his mate what Christian had just told him. It wasn’t something that he, Christian or Annie liked to bring up but Lucianne was practically family…well, family-to-be if one wants to get technical…and optimistic. Even so, she had the right to know.
