Chapter 33
Griffon slowly, deliberately set down the glass he was holding.
His claws were starting to come out now, and his fingers were clutching the glass so tightly, Preston
was afraid it would just disintegrate into a thousand pieces under the pressure.
Griffon looked at Preston. “What do you think?”
Preston decided to push forward. “I think you like her a little, don’t you? Otherwise, why would you be
so angry when you heard she had slept with Roman?”
Griffon snarled, “It’s in poor taste to flaunt one’s promiscuity. With a Beta no less. So I decided to put

love?”
Ah, so there it was.
Taya had moved from a man as rich and powerful as THE Alpha Knight, to the “lowly” Beta Starke.
That made sense to Preston. Griffon didn’t want people thinking that he and Roman ran in the same

It was raining heavily outside. His driver was waiting for him, and when he saw Preston, he rushed over
with an umbrella. Once in the car, Preston directed him toward downtown.
While stopped at a traffic light, he saw Taya, who was only wearing a dress, hailing a taxi in the heavy
rain.
Her petite body was thin. The dress, soaked by the rain, tightly clung to her body, making her seem
even more fragile.
Her curly hair was plastered to her head and stuck to her face.
Somehow, despite how broken she looked standing there forlornly in the rain, it didn’t affect her beauty

Preston saw taxi after taxi zooming past Taya, but none of them stopped.
After hesitating for a moment, he ordered his driver over to her.
