“He knows. Michael knows what I’m thinking, but he doesn’t care,” I said lightly.
I faced Joanna and revealed a malicious smile. “Do you know what the difference between us is? In fact, no matter what I do, he will always stand behind me and support me unconditionally.
“I don’t need to be like you, putting on a pretense in front of him and hoping he would look at me more. Wherever I am, his gaze will be directed there.”
I saw Joanna’s lips trembling with anger. Her throat emitted a hissing sound as her hands grabbed the railing. Her eyes were about to burst as she roared, “You’re lying to me!”
“Am I?” I snorted softly. “You were staring at my mate just now. I hate your eyes but didn’t you notice where he was looking? Don’t worry. I have more direct evidence to give you.”
I took two steps forward and released my aura. I still had the smell from yesterday’s sex with Michael, and I knew that Joanna could smell it.
As expected, Joanna’s expression froze, but she still forced herself to put on a disdainful look. “It’s just a little aura. Michael only treats you as a toy. You can’t really think that is something!”
I pulled up my hair and turned my head to show Joanna the mark.
Michael’s teeth marks would be left on it forever. This was the strongest promise a male could make to his mate. From then on, they were marked and belonged to each other, inseparable.
Joanna stood there in a daze for a while. I admired her hideous expression. I finally had a sense of victory in my heart.
“No, this can’t be true.” Joanna mumbled to herself mechanically, “He’s just lying to you. I’m the one he loves. The mark is nothing. As long as you’re dead, this mark will be useless. This is nothing.”
I looked at Joanna’s deranged expression and felt she had indeed gone mad.
I looked at her coldly to prevent her from suddenly reaching out her claws from the railing to scratch me. However, she couldn’t do it due to the shackles on her body.
Joanna’s eyes glowed with hatred as she muttered, “This is fake. The person Michael loves is me. It’s me.”
Her words angered my beast. Mia’s anger made my chest boil.
“Don’t be silly.” I said heartlessly, “Think about it carefully. Has Michael ever told you that he loved you? Well, he told me countless times. You’re the one who’s been stupid. Michael never wanted you. You were the one who threw yourself into his arms. Now you should accept the reality.”
“Argh!” Joanna let out an angry roar from her throat. Then, she broke the shackles that connected her hands. She reached her claws through the bars at me.
But now, my eyesight and speed have improved significantly since the last time I fought with her. Her movements were like children playing house in my eyes.
I reached out and grabbed her arm, pulling her out with force, and threw her entire body against the iron railing.
Joanna gasped for air, but I would not show her any mercy. I twisted her arm and punched her chest, where she was injured. The wounds on Joanna’s body burst open, and blood stained my hand. Tears flowed down her face.
I let go of her hand. Joanna fell to the ground in unbearable pain. Those annoying words no longer rang in my ears.
I would turn around and leave. She would be put on trial first, and I would make her undergo this process.
However, if she didn’t receive the punishment she deserved, I’d make up for it myself. This wasn’t just for me but also for the innocent she-wolves that were sold.
I turned the corner that Michael had just walked past and suddenly saw a tall figure leaning against the wall, looking at me calmly.
I was shocked at first, but I quickly reacted. I held my mate’s hand and asked, “Why are you here?”
“I’m worried about you.”
Although Michael did not say it aloud, his eyes clearly expressed its meaning.
I felt a warm current in my heart. I put my hand into his and rubbed against him intimately with a fawning tone. “Look at me. I’m fine.”
Michael snorted and laughed. “Wherever I am, his eyes will be on me. Little wolf, is this how you tell others about me?”
I was stunned. I realized that Michael was standing here waiting for me, which meant that he had heard every word I said to Joanna.
I felt my ears turn red, but I pretended to be calm and said, “Yeah, don’t you only have me in your heart?”
