Chapter 160 - I Regret It

To be honest, I doubted what Joanna said was true.

I didn’t believe that Joanna didn’t know that Michael had gone out last night. She always paid attention to everything about Michael.

She deliberately chose this time to find Michael for something else. Joanna and I had made everything clear. She also admitted that she had different ideas for Michael and that she wanted to snatch Michael away from me time and time again to prove that she was the one who could finally possess Michael.

I put my hands around Michael’s neck and stared at his lips, waiting for him to explain.

“I’m sorry, Cecily. I have to go now…” Michael said.

“She’s investigating the she-wolf matter with you, isn’t she?” I looked into Michael’s eyes and asked. If Michael were lying to me, I would feel it.

“Yes, but we’re still…” Michael said.

I interrupted Michael. “Why didn’t you tell me you were working with Joanna?” I asked

I recalled Joanna’s taunts. She said I could do nothing with Michael but be a mate. Was she already working with Michael? She was working alongside Michael as his assistant, fighting alongside him, while I foolishly followed his orders and stayed in the house.

A self-deprecating smile appeared on my face.

I had avoided Joanna most of the time in the house, so I had never paid attention to what she was doing. But one thing I was sure of was that Michael had never gone out with her in the morning, and I took it for granted that she was just as idle at home as I was.

Why did I never suspect that they might be working together? If Joanna wanted to hide this from me, she wouldn’t go out with Michael openly.

I would lose my temper because of this, and they all knew, so they kept it from me.

“It’s not what you think.” Michael put his hand down from me and said, “She mentioned that she wanted to investigate with me, but I didn’t agree at first.

“Her parents want her to go home, and I think she should listen to them. But you know, she’s not someone who takes things lying down. She insists on joining us, and her special ability can help us. So…”

“So you’ve been together for many days?” I glanced sharply at Michael.

“Not every day, but we have been investigating together for a few days,” Michael said.

I didn’t know how to describe my feelings, and my heart burned with jealousy. While I was waiting at home every day, looking forward to seeing Michael, Joanna was with Michael. They might be chatting and eating together, and someone might even see them as mates.

I let go of Michael’s hand and shrank into the bed.

I couldn’t let Michael’s breath affect my judgment anymore. I was first myself, then Michael’s mate, but the latter had affected the former too much. Michael was eroding my bottom line. I couldn’t do this anymore.

Michael moved forward with me. This time he didn’t try to touch me. Instead, he looked me in the eye and said, “You can be like her and work with me. You want to be a part of this, right?”

“Like her?” I tried to curl my lips but couldn’t even squeeze out a stiff smile this time. “No, I don’t want to be a part of this.”

I was Michael’s mate, and what was Joanna? She was just a cheap, scheming b*tch. What right did she have to be like me?

I couldn’t stand by Michael’s side and watch Joanna flirt with him all day. My wolf Mia would rip her throat out, and I didn’t want to stop it because that was what I wanted.

Michael wouldn’t let Robert be near me, and he took him to werewolf court and almost killed him.

No one thought anything was wrong, and Sasha told me to stay out of it, saying that Robert deserved it. I only wanted to send Joanna away, but I was stopped by everyone and accused of losing control of my emotions.

Michael wanted me to watch him and Joanna hang out and display her ability to solve cases. F*ck him!

“You said that you wanted to go with me to investigate this,” Michael said with a frown.

“Yes, but you didn’t say Joanna is there. Now I’ve changed my mind,” I said.

“Joanna won’t do anything. Why are you so against her?” Michael said darkly.

I looked at him with extreme disappointment. To them, Joanna was a perfect and flawless angel. She wouldn’t hurt anyone. She was pure and harmless. I was the one who lost my mind due to jealousy.

I raised my hands in surrender.
