273 The Unknown Wife
Selma Payne’s POV:
At night, Bertha came with a brooch. This was the only thing she had that belonged to her brother.
“This is what our mother left us,” Bertha revealed her reminiscence of the past. “After giving birth to two Omega children in a row, my father abandoned her, and also abandoned us. She raised Angus and me herself and passed away from exhaustion and illness. The brooch was the only thing she left behind. At that time, Angus was still young, and he cried for his mother all day long. I’d pin the brooch on his chest and tell him that mother is in our hearts and will always be with us…”
As she spoke, she started to cry.
“Angus and I once swore to protect each other at my mother’s bedside, but I lost him. He was still so young, and I don’t know how much he’ll be bullied if he wanders outside alone…”
I could only comfort her patiently and promised to inform her immediately if there was any news and get someone to send her back to her room.
“It’s so heartbreaking,” Dorothy said dejectedly. ” I can’t imagine how much pain Bertha was in when she found out that her brother was missing. I can’t imagine what happened to Angus out there. A young Omega, in case he encounters a wandering group or some other bad people… Sigh.”
She used the brooch as a medium to spy on Angus, but the brooch had only been with Angus for a short time, so she could only see fragments of a few locations.
However, these fragments greatly reduced the difficulty of the search.
The repaired Eye of Insight had a cooldown time. Depending on the situation, recovery would take a few days to a few months. It was hard to say if it would harm the body if used forcefully.
After sending the brooch to the werewolf grandmaster, the matter of finding Angus was settled.
According to tradition, Jordin and Emma had to live in the palace after becoming social companions, so the attendant suite that had been vacant for many years was cleaned up again. Bertha was in charge of this work, and everything was in order under Kara’s guidance.

Thus, I had two more companions by my side. It was inevitable that they had to go to school with me and meet my friends. Fortunately, Emma and Jordin were not people who cared about their status. They had a good time with Avril and Mara. They even planned a lot of ideas for Avril and Perrin’s wedding with their knowledgeable fashion taste.
“Isn’t the teardrop diamond yarn a little too eye-catching?” Avril looked at the cloth samples on the table and was at his wit’s end. “I know the tiny rhinestones will sparkle in the sun and look very nice. But I’m more inclined to a short wedding dress. Such a high-profile material seems tacky.”
“Why don’t we take a look at the mixed composition?” Jordin opened a new cloth book. “The silver thread is randomly inserted into the yarn’s threads. It’s gorgeous and elegant, perfectly meeting sparkly and low-key needs.”
Mara and Emma asked for more cloth booklets from the shop assistant.
Dorothy and I, the two fashion rookies who usually wore T-shirts and jeans, were quietly drinking tea at the side. We would not easily express any childish opinions.
We were ashamed of our inferiority.
We were in a high-end women’s clothing store called ‘Y&Y’. Even I had to think for a few seconds when I saw the price of a custom-made wedding dress. Avril had made up her mind not to leave any regrets, so she had put in a lot of effort, from the wedding dress to the venue, to do the best she could.
A wedding dress worth a whole year’s salary and bonus for the soldiers couldn’t be done half-heartedly, so she pulled Dorothy, Mara, and me to use as commenters. I didn’t expect that, in the end, Jordin and Emma would be the advisors.
I was drinking my tea in boredom when a customer suddenly entered the store and caught my attention.
It was Master Kevin. This was a women’s clothing store. Why was he here?
Since we were in a VIP suite, the fine bead curtain blocked my figure, so he did not see me and went straight to the sales counter.
I didn’t want to disturb his private life, but my sensitive hearing still caught the conversation between him and the front desk.
The receptionist seemed to be familiar with him. She smiled and said, “Good morning, Mr. Mark. Are you here to custom-make a gown for your wife again? ”
“Yes.” Master Kevin took out a document bag from his briefcase. “The design drafts are in there. The requirements are the same as the original. I hope they can be completed before the end of the month.”
The receptionist was a little surprised, “Why are you in such a hurry this time? You know, our tailors have already arranged the schedule. If you want to cut the queue, please…”
Master Kevin was very familiar with the rules of the shop. “You’ll need to increase the fees by 40%. I understand.”
After settling everything, he didn’t stay any longer and left.
I was completely confused.
Master Kevin’s wife? Who was that? I’d never heard of Master Kevin was married.
From the receptionist’s tone, he seemed to come here often to custom-make clothes for his wife. If that was the case, he must have been married to his wife for a long time. However, even Master Mary and Master Hayley had never mentioned that Master Kevin was married. The background check on Master Kevin clearly stated that he was ‘single’.
The whole incident raised a strange suspicion. I’d kept this in mind and would find time to ask the werewolf grandmasters.
