Silas didn’t answer,
But his expression left Isabelle no doubt.
The Blackwood Clan, as an ancient family, currently stood on equal footing with humans.
However, when she learned Silas wanted to form a marriage alliance with her, she was unwilling.
She suddenly remembered her mother telling her recently to foster a good relationship with Silas, this werewolf.
So she had gone to find Silas, but at that time, the man was not only rude but fiercely drove her away.
She was the Sterling family’s cherished daughter.
How dared an unfavored werewolf try to walk all over her?
So she had gone back and told her mother to cancel the engagement.
But her mother had gotten furious and mentioned that the Blackwood Clan was recently choosing a new head.
But she had never imagined.
Silas had actually succeeded in seizing power and become the new head of the Blackwood Clan.

Silas had actually succeeded in seizing power and become the new head of the Blackwood Clan.
Then hadn’t she… made a huge mistake?!
Landon Price held her tightly, quickly reassuring her:
“It’s okay, Izzy, you still have me.”
“Blair Sutton is already ruined. If you want her research, including this institute, I can get it for you!”
Hearing that, my fists clenched.
Just then, a hand wrapped around my waist, gently soothing me.
I paused, surprised.
It was Silas, his posture protective.
He lowered his head slightly, looking at me.
He murmured softly in my ear:
“Do what you want to do.”
“I’ll always clean up your mess.”
His eyes were soft, like an endless ocean.
Reflecting only me.
At this moment, the comments surged again.
**[What does this male lead mean?? Why is he siding with the villainess?]**
**[I paid to read this story, not to see the male lead and villainess end up together!)**
**[My poor darling female lead. Turns out you’re the most pathetic one.]**
**[So what? Look at all the bad things your female lead has done! She still has the nerve to be the female lead. If the male lead falls for the villainess, I’ll applaud!]**
**[Could anyone with a decent moral compass like a female lead like this? She’s clearly the fake heiress, yet she plays dirty tricks to drive out the villainess, the *real* heiress. Not only that, she slandered and defamed the villainess’s work ability, spread rumors online, and now she’s bribing the institute and even trying to punish the villainess privately. Her schemes would make the devil blush!]**
**The female lead is still far from being a goddess, but she’s already far from being human.]**
Strangely, my heart calmed down.
Then I looked at Landon Price.
I curled my lips,
“You thought taking the mutated cat and deleting the assessment files would let you get away with it?”

“Didn’t you know I was dispatched from The Federal Institute of Biological Sciences?”
As Landon’s face grew paler and uglier,
My voice was soft but firm:
“I already uploaded all the assessment results to the Federal Institute’s cloud storage.”
“Who do you think the Federal Institute will protect, you or me?”
Then I turned my gaze to Isabelle Sterling.
“You seem to have forgotten to delete the surveillance footage from the villa that day.”
I pulled out my phone and waved it in front of her.
The screen displayed the surveillance footage.
As a precaution, I had already retrieved this footage from the building security the night before.
I hadn’t expected it to actually come in handy.
The woman’s eyes widened in terror, staring at me.
“One of you spread rumors online, leading to cyberbullying and severely damaging my reputation.”
“The other not only accepted massive bribes but also abused his power, trying to fire me.”
Both of their faces were ashen, Landon Price’s legs were so weak he almost couldn’t stand.
I curled my lips, enunciating each word:
“You can tell the rest to the court.”
