The Almighty Alpha Wins Back His Rejected Mate
Chapter 226

The reason why I was so distracted just now was because I had thought of something important.

Perhaps Caleb wasn’t the only potential buyer of the town and Adam was in contact with others.

Although the Thorn Edge Pack was rich, it was no secret that other packs also coveted Roz Town.

And Adam was a cunning man.

He wouldn’t be willing to sell Roz Town to Caleb so easily.

It was more likely that

Adam was using the carnival as a cover to meet with more potential buyers.

That way, he could compare their offers.

“What a scheming bastard!” Ivy couldn’t help but sigh angrily.

“If I’m not mistaken, maybe Marley’s a key potential buyer.

That’d explain why her name on the list was highlighted.

And that’s probably the reason why the list of names in the secret chamber matches the guest List of the carnival.

”

Ivy strongly agreed with my theory.

“That seems to be the case.

After all, it would explain why Adam’s so protective of his study, refusing to let even his mate enter.

”

Ivy’s words enlightened me.

“You’re right! When Adam thought it was Riley who entered the study, he was very angry and nearly choked her to death, which meant that he’d do anything to keep Riley out of his secret chamber!”

The more I thought about it, the more convinced I was of my guess.

“Those were the only documents in the secret room, so they had to have something to do with the business of selling the town.

That’s why he doesn’t want Riley to see it!”

Ivy spat, “No wonder he wanted to kill her.

Bah! This selfish bastard doesn’t give a damn about his mate.

People like him don’t deserve mates!”

I cursed Adam in my head too.

Looking at the kind, gentle Riley, I felt even worse for her.

When I got home after work, Harlan gave back my mother’s ring.

“I asked a professional to check it out.

There’s no tracking device or anything on it.

The ring’s safe.

”

I nodded to him gratefully and took the ring from him.

“That’s good.

Thanks, Harlan.

”

Since I learned from Riley that Caleb was the one who paid for the ring, I was worried that it might be a trap.

As soon as I got home that day, I immediately handed the ring to Harlan and asked him to have it checked for me.

Harlan didn’t refuse, and he took action quickly.

I wasn’t expecting him to have results so soon.

Fortunately, now that I knew that there was nothing wrong with the ring, my doubts for Caleb were temporarily dispelled.

I lowered my head and looked at the dazzling ring on the palm of my hand, lost in thought.

Even after racking my brains for a while, I still couldn’t figure out why Caleb helped me.

But no matter what the reason was, I don’t want to owe him.

After hesitating for a long time, I finally decided to unblock Caleb and texted him.

“How much was the ring?”
