Becoming Alpha’s Personal Caretaker
Chapter 60

Lauren's POV

After doing the daily training with Bella, we both felt that we were getting stronger but it could also be because we got enough rest during this period. It was not necessary that Victor was our mate. However, to be honest, both Bella and I hoped that he was our mate. After having a discussion with Bella, we decided to give Victor the second treatment this weekend to look for Kent. "It's been a while since the last session. Maybe Kent will get better this time," Bella said. She thought that the figure she saw in Victor's inner world last time was Kent.

"I hope so," to be honest, I was also looking forward to the effect of the second treatment, "please stop thinking about things that are irrelevant to the treatment, Bella, I know what's on your mind."

Besides the treatment, Bella's head was full of erotic garbage and she thought it was completely normal, "I'm just preparing myself for what might happen next. What if this treatment causes another false heat? I don't think you guys can resist it this time."

"..." I didn't know how to argue with her. Last time, I was just grateful for what Victor did for me but now we kissed from time to time. It was different from what I thought it would be. This kind of intimacy didn't scare me and even made me feel sweet. And I also got a kind of satisfaction from it. It was hard to describe that feeling. But it did bring pleasure to me, both physically and mentally. I couldn't help smiling and didn't talk back to Bella.

"Then let's do the second treatment in the bedroom!" Bella said excitedly.

"... Bella, the goal of this treatment is to find Victor's wolf, not to have s*x with him. Please be professional," I reminded her.

"I know," Bella was still laughing and I could tell how much she expected this treatment, "and I'm looking forward to meeting Kent again. Though all I saw was just a faint shadow last time, I could feel he's a strong and sexy wolf."

Kent.

I ignored the hint and expectation in Bella's tone and the image of that giant shadow came to my head. Even though the figure was blurring, I still had the urge to get close to him and touch him. I was also eager to meet Kent and wondered what kind of personality he had.

Just as I was about to discuss the second treatment with Victor, I found out he wasn't in the estate, and Victor's tribe seemed busy these days. Richard would always go to Victor's study with something in his hand and they would talk for a long time before he came out.

"Huh? Victor isn't in the estate?" I mumbled confusedly. In the past, when Victor needed to leave the estate to deal with tribal affairs, he would tell me in advance. But this time he didn't. Was there something important to do?

I took out my phone suspiciously but my phone rang at the same time. I subconsciously answered it and heard a coquettish voice which made me frown.

"Thank God, Lauren, you took my call!" Janice said pretentiously. I wanted to hang up on her but she said something that changed my mind, "Grandma's back, Lauren. No matter how much you hate us, please come home to visit grandma, okay? She's also your family. Please, don't be so cruel. Grandma really misses you."

My grandma Susan.

She was my grandmother but we weren't really close. During my childhood, she had always been so cold and distant. She was always on her high horse and rarely smiled at me. She was picky and strict because I wasn't good enough for her as her granddaughter and I couldn't make her look good at those afternoon tea parties.

Hearing that I didn't say anything, Janice thought she finally had the chance and continued, "I know you hate me, Lauren, and I'm not gonna force you to forgive me. But grandma wants to see you now. She's back from her trip. Don't you wanna see her? She's your grandmother."

"What do you want from me?" I sneered. Grandma Susan was just like Manuel. For them, their interests always came first and social status ranked higher than family. I didn't think an old lady who had always been picky with me would suddenly miss me for no reason and I knew she wouldn't take my side.

If she wanted to see me, there must be something she wanted to get from me.

Janice said in shock, "Lauren, what do you mean? I know you hold a grudge against me. But is grandma also your enemy now?"

"Since you know how much I hate you, don't disrupt me and stop acting," I said with no mercy. Even though she brought up Grandma, I didn't give in.

Though I knew Grandma must be listening to this conversation over the phone. After all, Janice wouldn't put on a show for no reason.

But I didn't care about what Grandma thought of me anymore. Since I was a child, I hadn't ever pretended to be someone I wasn't to please other people. And now that I had decided to cut off the Blanco family, why bother to coax a relative who didn't care about me at all?

Just as I expected, the second I said that, Grandma Susan, who felt belittled, finally spoke up in anger, "Lauren, we've raised you better than this! I can't believe you've become like this! You've brought shame to the Blanco family!"

Hearing her harsh words, I didn't have any hard feelings and even said calmly, "Your voice is so loud and clear. Sounds like you're doing well. Then I don't need to visit you anymore, Grandma."

"Lauren!" Along with her yelling, I also heard the sound of the scepter hitting the floor and the sound of Janice and Lola coaxing her gently as I listened to their freak show.

After all, I had heard things like this so many times ever since I was a little girl and their words couldn't hurt me anymore.

"You're not behaving like a Blanco!"

"Lauren, you don't even know what to say in front of people. How can you be the heir to the tribe?"

"Even though Janice's blood isn't pure as you, she's much more hardworking than you. Why are you and your wolf all so useless?"

I could hear her words in my head all over again. She didn't like Lola because she was just a mistress but she loved being flattered by her. And she liked Janice who knew how to please her and was always obedient much better. She even thought it was okay for Manuel to have an affair and the reason why my mother couldn't keep her husband was because she could never be as sweet and lovable as other women. She didn't like my mother and she also didn't like me who was always so proud and distant. "Do you want me to beg you to visit me? Lauren Blanco! I'm your grandmother!" she yelled, "it's just a little fight between sisters and you're gonna leave the Blanco family?"

"Just a little fight?" I questioned with contempt, "Janice had an affair with my fiancé and even wanted me to help them get married. And to you, it's just a little fight?"

However, she replied carelessly, "What else can it be? No matter which daughter of the Fullmoon tribe marries into the Lunarko Tribe, nothing's gonna change. And you have so much more than Janice does. What's wrong with giving her the marriage contract? What good does it do to you?"

"I've decided to leave the Blanco family and its future has nothing to do with me," I said coldly, "not to mention that Janice and Michael's so-called true love is the reason why the Fullmoon Tribe is in such a difficult position. I have nothing to do with it." "You..." She seemed to have no idea what to say to me for a minute or so, but then she snapped, "fine. If you don't care about the Blanco family anymore, then you can't get anything from the family! I'll have Manuel banish you!" After all this time, that was the reason why Lola and Janice encouraged Grandma Susan to contact me.

"Grandma, let me remind you that the Blanco Group would never have gone so far without the help of my mother. If it wasn't for my mother's investment, the Blanco Group would've been destroyed a long time ago," I said wryly.

Hearing that, she couldn't take it anymore and roared, "What the hell are you talking about, you dirty rascal!? Our family possessions have nothing to do with your mother! And you're not gonna get anything from us under my watch!" "That's not up to you, Susan."

I didn't want to call her grandma anymore. Since she didn't show me even a little bit of respect, why should I be respectful to her? She wasn't like an elder, a grandmother at all!
