Chapter 149: Public Opinions

Alina's POV:

I didn't expect to see so many positive comments on Rufus appear so quickly.

At first, they were most definitely negative.

But after Rufus personally exposed Cherry's theft and had her expelled, the netizens then began to
rethink about the real reason why Rufus acted strangely at that party.

One of the comments speculated that Prince Rufus had invited his beloved she-wolf to the dance, but
Cherry had taken her dress and replaced her.

When Prince Rufus found out, he was furious.

This comment garnered the most amount of likes.

Soon enough, the netizens were now defending Rufus.

Some even started guessing as to who this beloved she-wolf was and started a poll online.

After seeing these comments, I chucked the phone away in annoyance.

"Ugh, I didn't expect these netizens to actually figure out the truth."

"Well, since everyone is still trying to guess Prince Rufus’ beloved, why don't you just play along?"
Coco suggested.

"Yes.I supposed you're right, Coco.You actually make sense this time."

I gave her an impressed look.

"Go and pay some rumormongers to lean the public opinion toward me."



At this time, there was suddenly a knock on the door.

The voice of the guard came from outside.

"Miss Quinn, it's Warren.He wants to see you."

I was a little surprised.

Ever since Warren injured Sylvia for me, he hadn't contacted me yet.

He hadn't even replied to any of my messages.I wonder what brought him here today.

"Miss Quinn, are you going to see him?"

Coco eyed my neck with concern.

"That wound on your neck might expose you."

"No, it's fine.I will see him."

I straightened up my back.

For now, Warren was still a good pawn.

I couldn't dispose of him while he was still useful.I asked Coco to help cover me up before telling her to
let Warren in.

When Warren walked in, he had a very serious face.

It didn't help that he was wearing a black coat, making him look taller and thinner.I coughed and
fidgeted with my turtleneck sweater awkwardly, placing down my coffee back on the table.

"Long time no see, Warren.We do have a lot to talk about."



I smiled gently and scooted to the side of the couch.

"Please, come sit."

But Warren didn't sit down.

Instead, he looked at me and frowned, his expression cold and distant.

My smile faltered a bit as this made me uncomfortable.

"I can see you're not in the best mood today, Warren."

"Alina,"

Warren addressed me flatly.

"Yes, what's going on? I've never seen you like this before.

Did something happen to you?"

I asked patiently, holding back some emotions.

His expression became complex and he said, "You were the girl who danced with Rufus at the ball,
weren't you?"

Shocked, I subconsciously touched my _ neck.

Fortunately the collar was high enough to cover my wound.

"What are you talking about? They already confirmed that it was Cherry and even drove her away.I
didn't--"



"Don't lie to me."

Warren interrupted and sat on the opposite side, slamming the table with his palm.

"I grew up with you.We've been to countless parties together, so I know your habits and how you
dance.Even with a mask on, I could still tell it was you."

Warren had never been this fierce to me before.

I was stunned, but I was also angry at the same time.

He had always been obedient to me.I never thought I'd see the day he would go against me.

"Warren, are you suspecting me?" I clenched my fists.

"If that's the only reason you came to see me today, then you should just go."

"Suspecting you?" Warren smiled bitterly.

There was disappointment in his eyes.

"I know how much you like Rufus.You didn't even hesitate when you asked me to hurt Sylvia.Why
wouldn't you show up at the ball that night? Unless you showed up as someone else, the she -wolf who
danced with Rufus."

Warren had analyzed the situation perfectly and accurately.

I had no reason to hide the truth from him anymore.

"Fine, so it was me.And what about it?"

I raised my head with arrogance.



"I am the fiancee of Prince Rufus.No one else is allowed to dance with him but me."
