Chapter 18
In Riverside Pack.
A black Benz was parked by the road. Beside the car, a chubby, middle–aged woman was sitting in an
armchair letting a maid rub her fat shoulder from the back.
“How much longer?” Mrs. Hellen Diaz closed her eyes and asked,
A short and stout man was smoking his pipe with his son by the roadside. Heard about Mrs. Diaz’s
question, Mr. Paul Diaz checked his phone and answered, “About half an hour.”
“Mom, you might want to stand up for the Alpha’s arrival.” Their middle son John said to Hellen while
breathing out a smoke.
“Why on earth would I have to stand up?” Hellen grunted, “When he married Harper later, he’ll be my
son–in–law! He probably has to bow to me when that happened.”
Paul giggled and nodded in joy, “Your mother makes a fair point, son.”
Just imagine that—an alpha bowing to them!
They could probably shop and dine for free in Riverside and ask all commoners to make way
for them.
How awesome was that!
They never enjoyed such privilege when their stupid daughter Janet was the Luna. Paul and Hellen
were convinced that it’s because Janet didn’t serve Alpha Daran well.
If it was Harper, things would be so much different.
John rolled his eyes and complained, “Still, I don’t understand why Olive can skip this and I can’t! I was
in the middle of a date when you dragged me here!”
Hellen opened her eyes and snaped at her middle son, “Olive didn’t have to be here because he was
busy training himself. He would soon serve in Alpha’s troops and became a general! What can you do
except for hitting on whores?”
John’s face turned red as he cried out in grievance, “It’s not fair mom—
“Just forget about your bimbo for one day, will you?” Hellen stuck out a chubby finger and pointed at
John, “When Harper became Luna and Olive the general, you can have any girl you want!”
John beamed, “Even an Alpha’s daughter?”
“Of course.” Paul patted his son’s shoulder lovingly. “Only an Alpha’s daughter deserves my wonderful
son.”
Just then, the engine sound came from the distance.
The three of them stuck their head out and looked–it was a silver Rolls–Royce was racing towards
them in full–speed.
“It’s him! It’s Alpha Daran’s car! My sister is in there with him!” John cried loudly as though he wanted
everybody to hear, though there was nobody else around.
John rushed to the middle of the street, waving his arms in the air like a giant gorilla: “Alpha Daran–
Harper-!!”
The car made a sharp stop, almost running John over.
The backseat’s door flied open the next second. Harper lunged out and threw herself into Hellen’s arms
in tears:
“Mom! Dad! I miss you guys so much!! You have no idea what I’ve been through in
BloodMoon Pack…
Hellen was startled by Harper’s reaction, “Oh my baby! What’s the matter? Where’s Alpha Datan?”
“He’s in the car making a phone call,”
Harper wiped her tears on Hellen’s shoulder and casted a resentful gaze at the car.
“Mom and dad, there’s something I need to tell you-
Yet she was interrupted by a voice the next second:
“It’s been a while, Mr. and Mrs. Diaz.”

Everybody jerked around and found a slender figure emerge from the car.
Janet closed the car door behind her and revealed a calm smile at the Diaz family. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
“Remember me?” she asked.
A deadly silence fell upon them.
A few seconds later, John suddenly let out a sharp cry. He staggered back in fear while screaming:
-You! No way you g

Janet lifted the corner of her mouth into an ironic smile, “I know that’s what you all want of
me–died. But sadly, I’m not. Feeling disappointed?”
Hellen glared at Janet with round eyes. Her toad–like face twisted in

rage.
“I survived,” Janet smiled icily, “even though you let those rogues to kill me. I must have outlived your
expectation, Mr. and Mrs. Diaz.”
Paul suddenly grabbed his wife’s hand for support, his nails digging into her fat. He ground his teeth
and suddenly cried out:
“Then why the hell do you have to come back then! You survived, fine! Then just live pathetic
elsewhere and stay away from us! I’ve disowned you as my daughter!”
Janet stared at them coldly, “Yes, I believe you have.”
“Mom and d coming back for our fortune!”
John didn’t dare to

“That must b
why she’s back. For money! She wanted to dry out our wallet! That kidnap almost cost us 100 million!
And now she’s coming back for more!”
Janet clenched her fists, “Don’t flatter yourself-
BAH!
Hellen spat at her and roared at the top of her lung, “You shameless little rat! You can go f**k yourself if
you still want our money. It ain’t happening! What have you done for this family, huh? You couldn’t even
get Olive a job in the army when you were Luna. How could I
give birth to a filthy, useless rat like you?!”
Janet wiped the spat away from her face and glared at them with cold eyes.
Her gaze was so sharp and intimidating that the Diaz family couldn’t help but shiver slightly,
“Shh, shh. Just go!” John gathered his courage and hissed at Janet like chasing away a dog,
Go back to where you came from! We won’t spare you a penny!”
“She probably came from a brothel.” Hellen snorted in despise, “Or else how did she make a living in
the past 6 months? She didn’t have any damn skills.”
Janet’s eyes gleamed in full
rage.
“Brother? A whore?” Janet suddenly glared at Harper, who’s been sobbing onto Hellen’s shoulder. “Are
you talking about your dear daughter Harper? Because that’s what she is, a whore. Seducing other
women’s husband…How shameful!”
“WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SAYING?!”
Hellen screamed loudly.
She raised her chubby little hand up in the air and dashed at Janet:
“I’m going to kill you–you little rat–!!!”
Janet sneered coldly. Hellen looked no more threatening than a crazy hen in her eyes.
Raising a hand, Janet easily caught Hellen by the wrist with her right hand.
Hellen was shocked.
She didn’t know Janet could be this swift. Janet was never able to fight back when she hit her in the
past!
“Here’s a warning-”
Janet leant close to Hellen’s sweaty face and hissed:
“Don’t f**king touch me–AGAIN!”
SLAP!
Janet raised her left hand and landed a hard slap on Hellen’s fat face. It was such a powerful strike that
Hellen’s tooth became loose!
“Ahhhh-!”
Hellen shrieked desperately while staggering back, “Help! Somebody help! She is killing
me
“What’s the matter?”
A deep voice came from behind them–Daran had just got off the car.
He just finished his call in the car. And he had heard their quarrel already.
Daran was confused.
But overall, they were still a loving family.
Yet based on what he saw today, the Diaz had grown apart for years.
Was this why Janet didn’t want to come back to Riverside?
“Alpha!”
“Right. Alpha!” John cried. “Janet is ridiculous. She’s asking for our money as soon as she

Hellen shrieked desperately while staggering back, “Help! Somebody help! She is killing,
me-”
“What’s the matter?”
A deep voice came from behind them–Daran had just got off the car.
He just finished his call in the car. And he had heard their quarrel already.
Daran was confused.
He always thought Janet had a fine relationship with her family. Janet wasn’t very smart, so her family
didn’t like her as much as they liked Harper.
But overall, they were still a loving family.
Yet based on what he saw today, the Diaz had grown apart for years,
Was this why Janet didn’t want to come back to Riverside?
“Alpha!”
‘Right, Alpha!” John cried, “Janet is ridiculous. She’s asking for our money as soon as she came back.
You must punish her!”
Daran’s face slightly darkened.
He turned to Janet and was about to say something, when a honk came from the distance. A striking
number of troops was heading towards them.
All cars stopped when they came close. Soldiers on the truck all rose form their seat and saluted to
Janet in unison:
“-Gamma Janet!”
Their voice so loud that it sent birds flying into the sky from branches.
In the leading car, a black Bentley, the car window was rolled down and revealed a handsome man’s
face.
“What’s the matter here?”
Casper smiled coolly while staring at the aghast looking Diaz, his eyes narrowed.
“Is someone giving my Gamma a hard time?”
