Tony’s POV:
I couldn’t believe it.My friend, Simon, was sitting next to me.
Ever since Arthur became the Alpha, I had been living as a fugitive.
I had to flee, and as such, I didn’t get many chances to see Simon.
Now that we had been reunited, I couldn’t help but sigh wistfully.
I couldn’t believe I was lucky enough to be alive and see my good old friend.
But even more pressing was Jennifer, who was asking me for the truth about the past.
I hesitated for a while, lost in my memories.
Scenes of the past flashed in my mind.
Over ten years ago, before Arthur ascended to the position of Alpha, he was the Beta.
Despite this, he still held a high position in the pack as the second hand of Alpha Lewis.
Arthur approached me out of the blue and asked me to do him a huge favor.
Arthur asked me to make up that prophecy about Jennifer being a jinx and that everyone around her were doomed to die.
I didn’t know him that well, so I didn’t expect him to ask something so ridiculous of me.
Naturally, I didn’t want to accept Arthur’s request, but then he kidnapped my family and threatened to torture them.
When he saw that I was still hesitant, he started to bribe me.
I had the hobby of collecting antiques back then, so Arthur offered me the antique that Lewis had given him as a reward for
helping him.
Despite my initial hesitation, I ended up agreeing to cooperate with Arthur.
I foretold in public that Jennifer was a jinx, which turned the elders of the pack against her.
Later, Jennifer’s mother, Doris, died suddenly.
Everyone said that Jennifer was the cause of Doris’ death.
They demanded Lewis to eliminate the jinx, but of course, Lewis didn’t agree.
I knelt on the floor, my heart full of regret, and apologized to her.
“I’m sorry.I have no right to ask for your forgiveness.I can only do my best to make up for you.
Back then, Arthur asked me to cooperate with him.He asked me to prophesy that you were a jinx, despite this being untrue.I
never expected that he would kill your father under the guise of eliminating the so-called jinx.Arthur was so vicious, but I admit
that I was his accomplice.I deserve to die.Jennifer, please give me a chance to redeem myself!”
The more I spoke, the sadder I became.
I lowered my head with guilt.
I felt nothing but shame in front of Jennifer.
Jennifer’s POV:
Tony had finally sobered up.
In a clear state of mind, he confessed and told me the truth about the past with tears streaming down his cheeks.
Now that I found the truth, I felt terrible.
It turned out that Arthur’s plot against me and my father ran deeper than I had thought.
He had fabricated a lie about me in order to kill my father.
If it weren’t for the false prophecy about me, would my father have died? “Elder Tony, why?”
I choked, tears welling up in my eyes.
“Why did you do as Arthur asked?”
“I’m sorry, Jennifer.I had no choice.Arthur captured my family.He threatened to harm them if I didn’t cooperate with him.He also
bribed me with an antique.I was so obsessed with it and eventually agreed to his request.But now that I’m sober, I realize how
big of a mistake that was.Arthur is downright evil, and I must bring him to justice!”Then, he buried his face in his hands and cried
bitterly.
“You know what? After Arthur became Alpha, he betrayed me and had all of my family killed.”
