Chapter 38: Caught Red-Handed
I asked, “What?”
Sasha said, “Michael blocked my credit card. Do you have any money?”
I opened my purse and showed it to her. I said, “I have some.”
Sasha glanced at the few thin bills in my purse and said, “These are not enough.” f(r)eewebn(o)vel.com
I said dejectedly, “Then, what should we do?”
“No way! Michael didn’t give you his card? He’s a very wealthy man, Cecily. Quick, take out the card that Michael gave you.” Sasha’s eyes flashed with a premeditated light. I realized then that this was the reason she came to me today.
I spread my hands and said, “I really don’t have any credit cards. You might be disappointed.”
Sasha looked at me suspiciously and took my purse from my hand. I allowed her to examine it, and sure enough, she couldn’t find anything in it.
“Wow!” I heard Sasha exclaim. She took out a gold card from the pocket of my purse and said to me, “I was wrong earlier. The one with a lot of money now isn’t Michael, but you, little rich lady. From now on, I will hug your thigh tightly.”
I looked at the gold card in surprise. I was sure it wasn’t mine.
It was so shiny that it didn’t match my childish bear purse.
“What’s this?” I asked.
Sasha looked at me curiously and said, “You don’t know what this is?”
I shook my head and Sasha handed me the card. It was very plain. There was nothing on it. I couldn’t even see the chip on it. In one corner, it was inscribed with three small letters’ M. C. S.’ But the whole card was shiny, giving off an aura of ostentatious nobility and luxury.
Sasha said, “This is a gold card for the royal Lycan royal. It represents not only wealth, but also power and status. Its core feature is that there is no sign, only initials. Even for the royal Lycan family, everyone has only one card. Michael must have given it to you.”
I said, “This... I have no idea when he put it in my purse.”
Sasha put an affectionate arm around my shoulder and said, “Let’s go. With this card, we don’t have to worry about anything.”
I hesitated. Although I didn’t know exactly what this gold card was, I could tell from Sasha’s tone that it must be very important to Michael.
Michael had given it to me because he trusted me. Did I really have to betray his trust and secretly go out with Sasha?
I had already done this once before, and Michael had clearly expressed that he was angry about it. If I could, I would also want to get along with Michael peacefully instead of provoking him and making him angry. After all, it wouldn’t be easy for me.
“Let’s go, let’s go,” Sasha said as she dragged me down the stairs.
“Hey, hey! Sasha, wait a moment.”
“No waiting. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. While Michael isn’t around, we have to...” Sasha suddenly stopped mid-sentence.
I looked at her in puzzlement and saw that she was looking in the direction of the living room in a daze. I followed her gaze and was momentarily stunned. Michael, whom Sasha said would not appear at home today, was sitting on the sofa.
Michael held a wine glass in his hand. Crystal clear liquid swirled in the glass. He was looking at us sharply. He said calmly, “What were you going to do when I’m not here?”
I looked at him speechlessly. I had changed into an outfit meant for going out, and I had been caught red-handed. What could be more embarrassing than that?
Sasha was the one who made the first move. She said to Michael, “How dare you secretly call Thomas here! I’ve been running errands for him all week. I was only looking to prove my theory that you’re a jerk.”
“I just found someone who can control you. It seems that you haven’t been with him long enough. Otherwise, why would you entice Cecily the moment you came back?” Michael snorted and asked, “Where are you taking my mate this time?”
“Don’t use Thomas to suppress me. I’m not afraid of him anymore,” Sasha declared arrogantly. “I’m taking Cecily out shopping. You keep calling her your mate when she doesn’t have any decent clothes. How can you be okay with that?” freewebnov(e)l
Sasha’s words made me a little embarrassed.
Michael looked at me and said, “Cecily is grounded. She can’t go out. Besides, this is my business. You don’t have to get involved.”
Michael shook the cup in his hand and said to Sasha, “This is my packhouse. Please leave.”
Sasha and Michael were in a stalemate for a while. I noticed that both were releasing some kind of Lycan aura and intimidation. I guessed that it was a way of confronting the royal Lycan. Finally, Sasha picked up her bag and strode in the direction of the door.
“Say hello to Mr. Thomas for me,” Michael shouted after her.
But only the sound of Sasha fiercely slamming the door responded to him.
