Transmigrated Into a Scummy Alpha Who Stole the Male Lead's Mermaid Fiancée - Chapter 4

Yu Ke’s explanation was flawless, making her actions seem entirely reasonable and convincing enough for the Princess of Panda Planet.

The bob-haired woman was so shocked that it took her a long time to regain her composure. With furrowed brows and a skeptical gaze fixed on Yu Ke, she said in a tone of disbelief, “Your Highness, this isn’t like you.”

Yu Ke smiled calmly and replied, “I have no resistance to her pheromones, and even less to her as a person. Go back and act as if nothing happened.”

“But what about Prince Yu Jie…” The bob-haired woman clenched her fists at her sides, unwilling to give up. “How can we let all our efforts go to waste?!”

Yu Ke had no desire to continue the conversation and said firmly, “My mind is made up. You may leave.”

“Your Highness!” The bob-haired woman grew increasingly agitated, her brown round eyes tinged with red. She blocked Yu Ke’s path and exclaimed, “You will regret what you’ve done today!”

Yu Ke had already turned away but paused at these words. She glanced back and shared her thoughts: “If I hurt her, I would regret it every single day from now on. But I didn’t do it. I would rather risk regretting it someday in the future, especially since I don’t even know if that day will ever come.”

The bob-haired woman finally had no choice but to relent, watching helplessly as the door closed in front of her.

She could still smell the Omega’s pheromones. The Princess of Panda Planet should still be inside, drunk and unconscious, subjected to the harsh torment of the princess. How had things turned out this way?

Having served the princess for many years, she had witnessed her decisiveness and unwavering resolve time and again, and had always been deeply impressed by her judgment. In her heart, she had long regarded Yu Ke as the future queen of the Ferrari Kingdom. Only Yu Ke could help her achieve her goal of revenge.

But their long journey had only just begun, how could the princess allow herself to be hindered by romantic entanglements?

It seemed she could not let the princess act recklessly. She had to find a way to do something.

Meanwhile, after sending the bob-haired woman away, Yu Ke returned to look for Lan Xing. But when she reached the wardrobe, Lan Xing was no longer there.

A cool breeze drifted in through the floor-to-ceiling window, causing the curtains to flutter wildly. It appeared that Lan Xing had left without even saying goodbye.

Yu Ke couldn’t help but feel disappointed. She suspected that Lan Xing had overheard the bob-haired woman’s words and learned that everything that night had been part of Yu Ke’s plan. Trust had shattered, and Lan Xing hadn’t even waited for an explanation before fleeing.

There was no helping it, the original host had schemed to frame Lan Xing, and that was an unchangeable fact.

Yu Ke was unwilling to carry out the original host’s violent acts or to falsely accuse Yu Jie. The price she had to pay was losing the trust of both Princess Lan Xing and her subordinate.

Yu Ke thought that perhaps this was for the best.

She had long grown tired of being a selfish and unscrupulous person. In the past, a company she took over had been sued by civilians for environmental pollution. She had proposed compensation, but her uncle had rejected the idea. Instead, he had taught her how to silence the common people, destroy evidence, bribe the media to control public opinion, and even corrupt the courts.

She had seen families where husbands died of cancer after long-term exposure to pollutants, and wives sold their homes to pay for medical treatments, only to end up with nothing. These people didn’t even know how to defend their rights. They were doomed to live the rest of their lives in poverty and sorrow, and the next generation would inherit this grief, trapped in a cycle with no hope of escape.

After taking over the enterprise, Yu Ke’s most urgent desire was to implement reforms and resolve the long-standing accumulated issues. However, her abilities were limited, and before she could even investigate whether the sudden car accident was deliberately orchestrated, her life came to an abrupt end.

Thus, this journey through time felt more like an opportunity for redemption to Yu Ke. This time, she was determined to stay true to her heart and protect the weak and kind-hearted.

There had been noises outside the window for a while. At first, Yu Ke thought it was the sound of wind rustling through the trees. She walked over to close the window and, under the moonlight, noticed a doghouse in the courtyard. The sound was coming from inside.

Yu Ke approached the small house and heard a dog scratching at the door, letting out a couple of barks. As soon as it sensed someone approaching, the dog fell silent.

Yu Ke unlatched the door and opened it to find a very small golden retriever huddled in a corner, trembling, its innocent black eyes too afraid to even look at her.

It seemed that even the pets the original owner kept didn’t like her.

Yu Ke refilled the golden retriever’s food bowl and replaced its water with fresh water. Then she returned to her room, scrolled through her phone for a while, and noticed a contact named “Lan Xing” in her messages. After hesitating for a long time, she sent a message: “Are you okay?”

Yu Ke stared at her phone for a while, but Lan Xing didn’t reply. She set her phone aside, intending to sleep, but after a long while, she couldn’t resist checking it again. Lan Xing still hadn’t responded.

The scent of Lan Xing’s pheromones still lingered on the bedsheets. Remembering the scene of the two embracing, Yu Ke’s heart raced, and she felt unbearably hot and restless.

This was probably the effect of the temporary mark. She couldn’t forget Lan Xing’s scent and now desperately wanted to hold her in her arms.

Yu Ke clutched her phone, the message interface with Lan Xing still displaying only the words, “Are you okay?”

Scrolling back, there were no previous messages. It seemed the original owner had been very careful to avoid suspicion, almost never engaging in private communication with this little princess.

Yu Ke typed out a message, “Are you asleep?” but after hesitating for a long time, she deleted it.

If the communication was being monitored, she might be accused of harassing Princess Lan Xing.

The next morning, the maids entered Yu Ke’s room, bringing prepared clothes to assist her with washing and dressing.

Before her transmigration, Yu Ke had also been born into wealth, with plenty of servants attending to her every need, living a life where clothes were handed to her and meals were served. But the scale of it all was nothing compared to that of royalty and nobility.

The maids here were exquisitely dressed, with beautifully styled hair, wearing black-and-white lace maid uniforms. Each was lovely and adorable, curtsying to Yu Ke. The one in charge said, “Your Highness, the Queen requests your presence for breakfast in her palace.”

Hearing the voice, Yu Ke realized this maid was the one with the bob haircut from the previous night. Now dressed in a gentle and cute outfit, with a cold smile on her face, Yu Ke had almost failed to recognize her.

Her name was Jenny, someone Yu Ke had brought back from the planet LV Shui five years ago. That planet had since disintegrated, becoming dust drifting in the universe.

For the original owner, a person consumed by ambition, to keep Jenny by her side, Jenny’s identity must have been extraordinary. And the original owner must have made her certain promises for their cooperation to remain stable.

All this information was pieced together by Yu Ke from the original owner’s social media apps, photos, and memos on her phone.

Looking at the clothes held by the maids behind Jenny, Yu Ke asked, “Why did the Queen summon me?”

“I don’t know,” Jenny replied, her face still stiff with anger over last night’s incident. “The Queen must have heard some rumors.”

Yu Ke fell silent and allowed Jenny to help her change clothes. During the process, Jenny repeatedly touched her body, making Yu Ke extremely uncomfortable.

In the past, she wouldn’t have felt this way, holding hands with other girls, bathing together, or even sleeping in the same bed had never bothered her.

But now she was an Alpha and had even marked a lovely girl. As Jenny stood behind her, wrapping her arms around to fasten the belt, Yu Ke felt deeply agitated.

Was this being unfaithful to Lan Xing?

But Lan Xing was Yu Jie’s fiancée. Last night, while unconscious, Lan Xing had still murmured Yu Jie’s name, and her plea to Yu Ke had been out of sheer desperation.

The message she had sent last night still hadn’t received any reply, confirming Lan Xing’s dislike for her.

Yu Ke tugged at the collar of her champagne-colored shirt, forcing herself to forget about Lan Xing. Now, she needed to focus on how to deal with Queen Jiao.

According to the original owner’s memos, Queen Jiao was not someone to be trifled with. She was the second wife of King Ferrari and the biological mother of Yu Ke and two other young princes.

Ambitious and single-minded, Queen Jiao hoped for Yu Ke to replace Yu Jie as the future king. The original owner’s malicious schemes were likely closely tied to Queen Jiao’s influence.

With a troubled heart, Yu Ke arrived at Queen Jiao’s palace. Only when she entered the dining room did she realize that Lan Xing was also there.

The moment she saw Yu Ke, Lan Xing’s body stiffened abruptly, and the tips of her ears quietly turned red.
