Melissa's POV

out with

Chapter 31: Imposing Severe Punishment.

I never expected Debra would go to such insane lengths, daring to kidnap us while I was

my child.

I had no idea when Sebastian would arrive, so I could only try to entice her into revealing more about their motives behind this mess.

"Honestly, he's still the Alpha right now, and your actions will surely anger him."

My tone remained calm, entirely dismissive of the three of them.

If I wanted to, they might not be my adversaries at all.

However, this situation confirmed that Shakti's hatred for me had reached a deep-seated level.

"Don't kid yourself; he's been too busy worrying about the alliance matters with the Eastern, Southern, and Western regions, with no time to pay any attention to you." Shakti raised her hand, ready to slap me again, but Debra stopped her.

"I used to think you were reasonable, but it seems we have only one option left. We'll simply remove that little bitch's tubes and drag her away to stage the scene."

"I don't think you'll get the chance."

As soon as I spoke, the door to the intensive care unit slammed open.

Sebastian strode in with a menacing expression, seemingly ignoring everyone else present as he approached me..

The cold aura radiating from him silenced everyone in the room.

Vince hadn't expected him to show up at this moment, and his gaze was filled with hatred.

Honestly, I had no idea why they were doing all these pointless things, but it was clear that both Mignon and I were caught in this senseless disaster.

"You-though you're the Alpha, you have no right to interfere with our investigation. This matter has severely damaged our mother's reputation, making everyone think the North is terribly disorganized in managing women..." He lashed out at Sebastian in a fit of impotent rage, but Sebastian didn't respond.

"Don't

you think these unruly women will bring a negative influence to the North?"

Unsatisfied with being ignored, Vince continued to shout.

"Yeah, but they are human beings who inherently possess the right to freedom. The ones who committed the wrongdoings aren't them; we only need to use these tactics to deter others."

Sebastian's voice was cold as he unfastened my handcuffs, calmly explaining the situation.

Seemingly shocked by his response, Vince stood there, speechless and too stunned to say a word.

"Doing this will only make everyone think the North is weak and easily bullied!"

He argued, but Sebastian shook his head and let out a laugh.

"Relying solely on force and authority won't help; the old Alpha wouldn't have died otherwise. You don't need to exploit my lover for these purposes! Melissa hasn't done anything wrong, nor would she harm me. As for the alliance, I have my ways of dismantling it. And about that mad dog, I already have a strategy, so you don't need to meddle." Sebastian articulated his points with remarkable composure, though I could see he was already quite angry.

Debra was his nominal stepmother, so he certainly wouldn't lay a hand on her. As for Vince, that fool, and Shakti, I could easily imagine their grim fate.

"So you really believe your approach is correct? You see how serious and powerful our father was. He brought so much territory to the North, favoring his own people, allowing each brother to manage directly, instead of crafting your own management style and team like

you

1. do.

Vince remained obstinate, completely unaware that the more he spoke, the more he erred.

Sebastian helped me rise from the chair, and I hurried toward Mignon, pushing Debra and Shakti aside.

I quickly scooped the child into my arms, carefully checking her for injuries.

Mignon reached out her little hand to touch my face.

"It's okay, Mommy... Mignon is fine..."

Seeing that her complexion wasn't as bad, my heart eased a little.

"She is not your mother. Your mother ran off with another man; she didn't want you, you know?"

Shakti's face was twisted with jealousy, showing it in full force; she was nearly driven mad by the harmony between me and the child.

My handcuffs had been removed, and now Sebastian was right there with me.

There was no need to endure this woman's madness and rudeness. I raised my hand and struck her hard across the face.

"I held back earlier because I was afraid you might hurt Mignon, but now it seems you've really overstepped your bounds." ""How dare you

hit me..."

Before Shakti could finish her sentence, I slapped her again..

"Of course I'll hit you! Do I need to pick a special day for that? You resort to using a child. to threaten others; apart from such despicable tactics, you probably have nothing else to. offer."

Shakti glanced at Debra, only to replace that she had no intention of coming to her aid.

Instead, she turned to the last person likely to show her any sympathy.

"Alpha! You saw this woman take advantage of your favor to do such things to me."

Sebastian didn't even look at her as he directed his orders toward Debra.

"I won't agree to your decisions, Vince. You have no abilities whatsoever; I hope you and

time Debra come to realize that soon. Moreover, I'm not foolish enough to waste my listening to your nonsense. I'm too busy with so many matters; the only person who can assist me is tied up here because of you. She will never oppose or harm me, nor will she bring disaster to the North, or threaten anyone's interests or status."

Stepping closer to me, Sebastian cast a pained glance at both Mignon and me.

"From today onward, you are not allowed to enter or exit the North estate freely. I will take control of all your rights within the estate. Whatever you wish to do must go through me.

you harm Melissa deserves respect and recognition, and under no circumstances should her or Mignon."

Debra's expression instantly fell into utter disappointment.

"Don't tell me you're actually infatuated with this secondhand trash? Sebastian, you'll end up ruining the entire North for him! We'll become the laughingstock of everyone! Do you understand?" Unable to contain her fury any longer, Debra pointed an accusatory finger at me.

"Slut! Don't get too full of yourself; I'm telling you, he only likes you for now! For years, he's been searching for a substitute for Rachel to fill the void in his heart. You think he cares for you so deeply, but if Rachel were to appear, he would discard you without a second thought! Do you

understand?"

Sebastian looked ready to explode with rage at Debra's words. What nonsense was she spewing?

I chose to ignore her divisive tactics, intimately linking my arm with Sebastian's while holding Mignon close to my chest.

"Don't let her words cloud your thoughts; this means nothing. I want you to know that I will never leave."

Despite my reassurance, he remained extremely angry.

"From today onward, Shakti will be bound to Debra's side, prohibited from entering the North, and will care for her until death. All of Debra's actions must be reported to me before proceeding. Vince, since you're so eager to make a name for yourself, I'll assign you the barren lands of the North. Until you've fully cultivated it, you can only return home once a year."
