Chapter 436
Kaylee:
The moment Lord Eldon spoke about Graham going to the mountain to convince Madeline to help with the case, I grew anxious.
I did not like the idea.
I had already noticed a small change in his behavior.
Now that Elgin was running around crying for Madeline, I was afraid Graham would start to feel something too. 1
He did not need to worry about me. I was nothing like that cheater Silver.
I was angry at her too.
Why did she have to fucking ruin everything?
Who was she even involved with?
“Why would he go with you?” I asked, drawing everyone’s attention to me.
“Because I’m the alpha and one of the ones who first contacted Madeline and convinced her to help us,” Graham replied, giving me a look.
“Yeah, but do you think it is right for him to go now that everything is so messed up?” I asked his father instead.
“Baby, I’m not Elgin. Calm down,” Graham said gently as he reached for my hand and gave it a squeeze.
“No, wait. She is right,” Lord Eldon said, shaking his finger.
“I think she is right. Right now, you should not go there. Madeline must have found out what happened to Elgin. She might see it as karma or something like that. Seeing you could make her angry because she might want the same thing to happen to you. It would be harder for us to convince her if you go with us,” he continued.
Lord Eldon was far more perceptive than my naive husband. He shook his head at him.
I could tell Graham still wanted to go, but he knew people might blame him for ruining our chances of getting her help, so he gave a small nod.
“You do not need to worry. Your wife can go on your behalf,” Penny suggested.
Even though I did not like Penny, her suggestion was smart.
I smiled to myself as I thought about how I could ruin this small victory for Madeline.
“I don’t think that is a good idea. She is pregnant. Why would she go somewhere so dangerous?” my husband said, shaking his head.
“I’m fine. I can go that far. Don’t worry. It is daytime, and the monster will not come close to me. And if he does, my husband is a very powerful alpha. He is not like Baxter, ” I replied as I stood up, leaned down, and kissed Graham on the cheek.
He looked at me and smiled.
I knew he liked praise, so I gave it to him sometimes.
“Well then, it is final. Since Elgin cannot come,” my father–in–law said with a small laugh when he mentioned

“We will go. Come on, Kaylee. Get ready in your best dress to show that woman that even if an alpha was crying, she is still no better than anyone else. Just a rogue,” Lord Eldon added.
I laughed and nodded.
1 liked his humor because he understood the situation.
He knew someone like Madeline could never be right for his son, which was why he liked me.
I went into the bathroom and got dressed in my most expensive outfit, carrying a Louis Vuitton purse.
Once I was fully ready, I walked out.
Thankfully, Graham was not home. He had already left to see Elgin and find out what was going on.
I heard that his mother had arrived and was giving him a hard time.
Silver had also called her father, and I guessed he was on his way over.
There was a huge mess happening there.
“Ready to go burn that lady with your lifestyle?” Penny asked.
I laughed and gave her a high five.
But the moment my eyes landed on her belly, my mood soured.
I did not understand why she had to give birth. I was already giving them a child.
They could just enjoy their grandchildren, but I kept that thought to myself.
I walked ahead and sat in the car with Lord Eldon.
The journey began, and during the drive he handed me some files and explained the sickness.
Lord Eldon supported the idea that Madeline should not always be seen as the intelligent one who helps everyone.
He wanted me involved in the business and the sickness so that when she was praised, I would be praised too.
I agreed with the plan.
It would ruin Madeline’s peace of mind.
When we arrived at the trail, the other council leaders were already there with some of their helpers.
We drove carefully along the path until we reached the top.
Once we arrived, I heard some noise inside the house.
Madeline’s children had probably seen the car and gone inside to tell their mother.
“Now remember, we need to do whatever we can to convince her to work with us,” Lord Eldon said.
I gave him a reassuring nod.
However, I planned to handle it my own way.
I also intended to remind her what kind of woman she was.
