Chapter 169
Jackson sipped on his coffee slowly. It wasn’t until the host on the stage called out to the Sterling pack that he gulped it down.
Seeing that he was about to go on stage after handing me the coffee cup, I couldn’t help but worry. “Have you finished reading
the documents?”
Jackson hadn’t even read any of the documents while he was waiting for his turn. How was he prepared for this?
I froze.
That’s right. Jackson had a photographic memory. So...how could he lose his memory?
His words dispelled the last bit of kindness I had left for him.
He was putting on an act.
I had almost mistaken him for the previous Silas.
My stiff expression made him question me.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Frustrated, I shook my head. “I’m fine. Hurry up and go on stage.” Once the bidding ended, I could part ways with Jackson and
never see him again. Jackson looked as if he was about to say something else, but after the host’s second urging, he had to get
up on the stage. As soon as Jackson left, I collapsed back into my chair and looked expressionlessly at the stage.
Jackson was indeed brilliant. He had memorized everything after just looking at them once, and he also expanded on a lot of
things that Beta Smith had not mentioned.
It was no wonder that such a man would choose to abandon me. Him being a shifter and my never getting my wolf aside, there
was no way I could compete with someone with his level of intellect.
Today had only served to showcase our vast differences.
I had a brief thought that if I could survive my heart failure, I would break free from all restrictions and work my as s off to
become influential like them. Somehow, some way.
Unfortunately, there were no ifs. I wouldn’t be able to hold on for much longer.
Death was coming for me. Soon.
