Chapter 383
Third Person’s POV
After dinner, the finance department brought over the ledgers for her to check. She called Cedric to help her go
over the accounts.
Cedric wasn’t good at checking accounts yet, and boys wouldn't need to manage the finances in the future. But
Adelaide hoped he could read and understand the ledgers.
Adelaide had hired a tutor to teach him for a while, so he had sbasic knowledge.
In a few days, Cedric would be heading to Elk Academy. He already had the admission notice in hand.
Lance had originally planned to accompany him on the first day, but now it would be Adelaide taking him.
“The financial manager of our Frostfang Pack is amazing, Adelaide,” Cedric said, propping up his chin with bright
eyes.
“Earning money isn't solely due to the financial manager's efforts,” Adelaide smiled and patted his head.
“It’s the hard work of those who labor in our shops and manors that brings in the revenue. So remember to treat
those who sincerely work for you with kindness in the future.”
Cedric asked, “How can | tell if someone is genuinely working for me?”
Adelaide replied gently, “Understanding people's intentions is one of the most difficult things in the world. It's
especially hard for someone who is uneducated and inexperienced to see through others’ motives. However, by
reading extensively and learning from the wisdom and experiences of those who cbefore us in books, we
can learn to discern right from wrong, truth from falsehood, and good from evil. Once we grasp these concepts,
understanding people’s true intentions becomes much easier. A disloyal or unprincipled person, no matter how
well they pretend, will eventually reveal their dark inner self and give themselves away. And then we will see
them for who they truly are.”
Tilting his head, Cedric asked, “So you wantto study hard and understand these principles, right?”
“Clever,” Adelaide smiled and tapped his forehead.
“The responsibility of Frostfang will one day fall on your shoulders. Inheriting the position of Alpha is no easy
task. You must be capable.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCedric nodded understandingly, “Yes, | will definitely apply myself. In the future, | want to be well- rounded in
both knowledge and physical skills and becthe most capable Alpha.”
Adelaide couldn't help but laugh, “Hmm, the future Alpha Cedric must apply himself. Otherwise, people will say
you're incompetent and only rely on the blessings of your ancestors and fathers.”
Cedric nodded heavily, “I understand.”
At the Bloodmoon Pack’s headquarters, only one lamp hung on the porch, and in the packhouse, two lamps with
glass lampshades were hit-these two glass lampshades were the ones Adelaide had forgotten to take when she
left.

The conference room in the packhouse was pitch-black, with mosquitoes buzzing about.
A clerk from the Golden Jewelry Store in the capital was waiting in the guest lounge of the packhouse, his- heart
pounding with anxiety.
No one had offered him coffee, nor had anyone lit a lamp. He waited from daylight till dark.
He had cto collect the check, but upon entering the Bloodmoon Pack’s territory, he was left in the lounge.
Then he heard the commotion and heart-rending cries from the conference room.
After over half an hour of noise, it finally quieted down. Someone cin and told him to wait, but no one
returned.
In the past few years, whenever a customer at the store didn’t have enough for a check, he would follow them
back to their pack or to the bank to collect it.
Sometimes he had to wait, but the longest was fifteen minutes-usually because the place was large and the host
was hospitable, offering him fine coffee and pastries. After he finished eating, they would give him the check.
Most of the time, he didn’t have to wait long. They would ask him to sit for a moment, and the check would be
brought quickly.
Never had he experienced anything like the Bloodmoon Pack, where he waited until nightfall without coffee or a
lit lamp.
He felt as if he had walked into a den of thieves.
He had asked the pack guards, but they only told him to wait.
So he returned to continue waiting—after all, the headpiece was already in their possession.
With so much money involved, he had to collect it.
After dinner and a bath, Sabrina went to find Rosemary.
She smelled of the fragrances Wanda had given her. It was said that each bottle cost a thousand dollars. Besides
being highly fragrant, they also promised to make the skin fair and translucent.
“Hasn't she returned yet?” Rosemary asked after taking her medicine and glancing outside.
An omega stepped forward and replied, “Luna Gloria hasn't cback yet.”
Sabrina curled her lip. “She’s just going to the Ironclaw Pack to get a check. Is it necessary to take so long? What
if she can’t get it?”
“She said she would buy it herself” Rosemary said expressionlessly.
In reality, her heart was bleeding-thirty million could have been used to grease palms in the official
world.
“Mm, Alpha Ulrik hasn't returned either. He's probably on night duty tonight,” Sabrina remarked, her lips curling
in a sharp, bitter smile.

“Let her complain.” Rosemary said, exhaling slowly, but the gloom in her heart remained.
She recalled the mating gifts

There was cash, of course, and the Bloodmoon Pack’s days had indeed been good back then.
But how could they compare to when she had mated with Alpha Lance? That had been sheer opulence.
Each tthe thought crossed her mind, her heart ached anew.
