Mean Werewolves

Chapter 63: Negotiation

Narrator's POV

Lauren had not found where Camila was. It stressed her out because it had been forty-eight hours since Camila was missing. Normani, Dinah, and Anna were still doing their parts, searching for Camila. Lauren was not sure it was Alexa. She knew Alexa well. She knew when Alexa was lying or not. That was why she did not urge Alexa further and kill her yet. She had decided to end their marriage, but she had not executed it like she always did when she said she wanted to do something. It was because she had things to consider. She had to find Camila's first.

Everybody was worried about Camila's whereabouts, including Sasha, who had heard from Dakota this morning in the office. Dakota had told Sinu that she had asked Lauren's help when they discussed whether they had to report the police or not yesterday afternoon. They decided to report to the police. As expected, the police were slow when Sinu reported it to them, but they took it more seriously after Dakota showed up. Dakota also informed Lauren that they had reported the missing Camila to the police. Lauren acknowledges it. However, Lauren knew her main pack, Normani, Dinah, and Anna, had moved faster and would do better than the police.

After parking her car, Lauren ascended the stairs the stairs of a restaurant to meet Mr. Ferrer. What happened last night in their bedroom had reached Mr. Ferrer. Alexa did not plan to tell her father yet, but one of her staff, who was loyal to her father told her father about it. The staff who found Alexa crying on her bedroom floor had reported to Mr. Ferrer about the fight between Alexa and Lauren last night. Alexa was injured, but she was not badly injured as Lauren did not intend any attacks on Alexa. It was inevitable that Mr. Ferrer would eventually find out about their fight.

Lauren followed the restaurant staff to the VIP room, where Mr. Ferrer and Alexa had been waiting for her at the round table. Alexa had sent Lauren a message this morning, informing Lauren that her father wanted to meet her. Lauren agreed to meet Mr. Ferrer as she knew it was coming her way with one condition. She did not want to meet them at their mansions. Entering the VIP room, Lauren nodded at Mr. Ferrer and looked at Alexa before she took a seat across them. Alexa was sitting next to her father.

"What did you do to my daughter?" Mr. Ferrer asked when Lauren settled in her seat.

Lauren looked at Alexa, who looked desperate. She did not answer Mr. Ferrer. She did not doubt that Alexa had told him everything. That was why Mr. Ferrer wanted to meet her over lunch urgently.

"You have another woman?!" Mr. Ferrer said again.

The staring contest began. Lauren said nothing but looked into Mr. Ferrer's eyes, which were challenging and intimidating.

"I have told Alexa everything." Lauren meant she hid nothing from Alexa. She had confirmed to Alexa that Camila was Lauren's Luna and was partially marked by Lauren.

"You marked her but not my daughter?!" Mr, Ferrer's voice was heavy and full of anger. He knew Lauren had not marked her daughter even though Alexa tried to hide it all this time. "You marry my daughter, then you want to divorce her. What's your plan? Do you want to humiliate me, telling the world my daughter is worthless?"

"She's not worthless in my eyes, Mr. Ferrer," Lauren replied.

"Huh, didn't you say you want a divorce?" Mr. Ferrer replied.

"I did, but it doesn't imply she's worthless." Lauren's tone was flat. She did not like being in the same room with this arrogant major.

"You agreed to marry her!!" Mr. Ferrer was not happy at all.

"Yes. I know, but it's not in the agreement that I can't file for divorce." Lauren did not stop looking at the man in front of her. "You know best why this marriage happened, Mr. Ferrer." Lauren reminded her father-in-law.
