Chapter 114: The Price of Secrets

“Disguise myself as you? Luna, I don’t like to dress up as a woman!” Galen seemed to be given a fright as he waved his hand in disgust.

“You’re mistaken. I don’t have those special fetishes to see you in female clothes.” I rolled my eyes. Galen might be smart, but maybe geniuses were always different from ordinary people. His brain patterns often confused me.

Looking into his eyes, I told him, “I need you to disguise yourself as the ghost doctor in front of Vela and then get information about my son from her.”

“Vela? Your evil, greedy stepmother?”

Galen raised his eyebrows. After receiving my affirmative nod, he patted his chest confidently and replied, “Of course not! I, Galen, hate bad women the most!”

Seeing my serious expression, Galen, who was slow to react, thought of something. He widened his eyes and scratched his head. “However, how can you be sure that what she said is true? After all…”

After all, a while ago, Vela and her daughter had been talking about Luna’s son every day. Who knew if she was telling the truth?

I shook my head, I knew what Vela was like. With her daughter Shana’s face as collateral, she would never dare to lie or anger me.

Moreover, in her eyes, the ghost doctor was not only her daughter’s savior, but also Luna’s enemy.

So I told Galen with great certainty, “She won’t. She doesn’t dare to, and she can’t afford to gamble with this. The price of exchanging this secret with me is her daughter’s face.”

As I spoke, I briefly told Galen what had happened at the banquet. However, in order to prevent Galen from thinking astray, I deliberately omitted the part about Alpha’s appearance.

“Oh, Luna, I didn’t expect you to be so good at teaching Shana a lesson. You really impressed me.” Galen listened to the story with curiosity. After hearing that Shana had been disfigured into a monster, he exclaimed and clapped his hands.

However, he didn’t know that the person who had neutralized the danger of the corrosive liquid was his boss, Alpha. What happened after that was far more shocking than Shana’s disfigurement.

The thought of Alpha made me uneasy, his uncontrollable look had really scared me. And now, what was wrong with him?

After talking to Galen about some things to take note of and details to deal with Vela the next day, I sent Galen out. After Galen left, I couldn’t help but stand rooted to the ground in front of my house.

Suddenly, the elevator dinged. I subconsciously turned my head, expecting to see a tall figure striding out of the elevator. However, this was only the sound of the elevator returning to the first floor. There were still no movements in the quiet corridor.

After realizing that I was subconsciously looking forward to Alpha’s appearance, I began to vaguely regret whether what I’d done was wrong.

Perhaps I should bring back the unconscious him and not let him lie alone on the empty banquet hall floor?

But on second thought, Alpha was strange when he was normal. I didn’t understand why he was acting like this, but I did know that he’d always seemed to treat me only as a tool to vent his frustration. Every time he was in a bad state, he just wanted to have sex with me.
