Chapter 5
Damon looked confused. “A gift? What gift?”
Everyone else also turned their curious eyes toward me.
I slowly retrieved a carefully prepared box and extended it toward Damon, my expression calm and sincere. “This is the heirloom of the Golden Moon Pack. I originally planned to give it to Torin. Even though he no longer acknowledges me, in my heart, he will always be my son. Now, I’m giving this treasure to you. I wish your family a lifetime of happiness.”
Damon’s eyes widened in shock. He stared at me for a long moment before cautiously accepting the box and opening it. Inside was a precious wolf–tooth necklace.
The crowd was stunned.
“That really is the Golden Moon Pack’s heirloom! Is Aris out of her mind? She’s actually blessing them?”
“She must be completely broken… Blessing the very people who betrayed her?”
“This is so tragic. The husband and son she loved for so many years just took everything she had and left her for another family. How can anyone accept this?”
“She’s spineless. A total doormat. A simp who ended up with nothing!”
The audience couldn’t help but look at me with disdain.
Elora clapped her hands and sighed, “Aris, when you supported me before, I just thought you were just a rich idiot. But today, you’ve really surprised me. You’re not just stupid–you’re a natural–born simp. The most pathetic doormat I’ve ever seen!”
Torin also frowned, looking at me with disgust. “Thank the Moon Goddess you’re not my real mother. I’d be so embarrassed!”
Damon rolled his eyes and said, “Aris, being mated to you was the worst disgrace of my life. Don’t ever say you know me again. I can’t afford the embarrassment.”
With that, he put his arm around Elora and left with Torin.
Meanwhile, I became the top trending topic on social media.
