Chapter 38
My hand suddenly clenched tight.
Ashley was only a director in name. She got this position through Ferris’s influence, not her own abilities, and she completely lacked the relevant professional qualifications.
Ferris knew very well how important this occasion was, yet he actually suggested I bring Ashley along.
Was he really so eager to help advance Ashley’s career?
If so, why did he ask me to resign and return to the family to focus on taking care of him?
Ferris’s voice was low but tinged with impatience: “What, unwilling?”
I answered decisively: “Yes, I’m unwilling.”
Ferris’s expression turned dark: “I know you have issues with her, but this time it’s not negotiable.“–
“Ferris, you want to promote her, don’t you?” I took a deep breath and finally asked this question directly.
He was silent for a while, then answered coldly but honestly: “What if I do?”
What if I do?
As if it were that simple. What did my feelings count for in his eyes?
In his eyes, I was just an unwanted partner, and he didn’t even care if Ashley climbed up by stepping on my shoulders.
Perhaps because I hadn’t responded for so long, Ferris pressed his lips together and his tone softened slightly.
‘Don’t worry, she won’t threaten your position.”
Position?
He was referring to my position as chief therapist, right?
I suddenly smiled: “Don’t worry, I won’t keep her waiting too long.”
After all, I would be leaving Silver Moon Pack soon.
I didn’t even want the title of “Luna” anymore.
Position? Reputation? None of that mattered to me now.
“Whether it’s chief therapist or the Luna title, if she wants it, you can let her have it. I won’t compete with her.”
I said calmly: “But I won’t take an academic fraud to the medical conference.”
Ferris’s voice was clearly on the edge of anger as he questioned me: “Aurora, you’re being too willful. Do you know that your conference slot was provided by your treatment center? As long as I give the order, you don’t have to go either!”
“Are you threatening me?”
I couldn’t help but laugh: “Then take back that slot, great Alpha Ferris.”
He didn’t know I had already resigned, so this slot wouldn’t fall to me anyway.
After saying this, I unilaterally cut off the mindlink.
Chapter 38
As an Alpha, Ferris could have forced me to listen to his messages, but for some reason, his side also went quiet.
**Third Person Perspective**
Ferris thought about Aurora’s words just now, his fingers drumming on the table, his expression dark and angry.
Her recent behavior was somewhat abnormal–too cold, too sharp, as if she didn’t care about anything anymore.
Including him.
But thinking of how much she used to love him, he dismissed the doubts that had been growing in his heart.
So there was no need to think about it further.
However, his wolf seemed somewhat uneasy and irritated, constantly emitting low growls and roars.
