Chapter 411: Investigation

Hayley’s POV

“Ms. Carson, is Alpha Benjamin here?” Tyrone asked, holding a stack of documents as he looked at me.

I stepped aside and said, “Come in.”

Tyrone walked in, his eyes widening in surprise when he saw Benjamin cleaning. After regaining his composure, Tyrone said to Benjamin respectfully, “Alpha, I’ve brought all the documents. Once you’ve reviewed them, I’ll come by to collect them.”

Benjamin replied calmly, “Just leave them there.”

Tyrone quickly placed the documents on the coffee table, giving me a quick glance before stepping forward to help. “Alpha, let me take care of the heavy work.”

Benjamin declined. “No need, I can handle it. Just leave the documents there, and if there’s nothing else, you can go back.”

Tyrone nodded repeatedly. “Understood, Alpha.”

He turned to leave but suddenly seemed to remember something. “By the way, Alpha, about the matter you asked me to investigate last night…”

Tyrone paused, casting a wary glance at me. My instincts told me the matter had something to do with me, so I instinctively stepped back to give them some privacy.

“You two can talk, I’ll go to my room.”

But to my surprise, Benjamin called out to stop me. “No need. Stay here. Tyrone can say whatever he needs to. From now on, there’s no need to hide anything from Hayley. After all, she’ll soon be the Luna of our Midnight Pack.”

Tyrone understood—Benjamin fully trusted me—and so he spoke openly. “I found out what happened yesterday. It was Clarice who hired them.”

“I also followed your instructions and gathered a lot of dirt on Clarice. However, when I contacted several media outlets, many of them hesitated to cover her scandals. It seems they’re wary of the powerful figures backing her.”

Hearing Clarice’s name, a surge of anger rose within me. I had never even met her, yet she was trying to have me killed.

“Who is the person backing her?” I asked.

Tyrone hesitated for a moment, but eventually spoke a name. After hearing it, both Benjamin and I were taken aback.

Benjamin looked at Tyrone and commanded, “Within a week, I don’t want to see this person in the entertainment industry again.” His tone was calm but firm, the undeniable authority of an alpha radiating from him. There was no room for negotiation in his words.

Tyrone nodded respectfully. “Understood, Alpha. I’ll handle it properly.” Then, he turned and left.

Once he was gone, I turned to Benjamin. “Honestly, if you hadn’t intervened, I wouldn’t have blamed you. After all, her background is pretty solid. If we go head-to-head with her, even if we hurt her, we’ll suffer, too. So why risk it?”

“I don’t care who it is, anyone who tries to harm you will pay double the price,” he said, his gaze soft yet resolute. “You don’t need to worry about this. Even if it means I have to suffer, I won’t let her get away with it.”

His words touched me deeply. I met his gaze and smiled softly. “Thank you, Benjamin. But don’t worry, I’m not as fragile as you think. I won’t let anyone bully me easily.”

Benjamin raised an eyebrow, clearly about to ask me something, but I quickly changed the subject. “You take care of your work, I’m going to take a nap. We can grab some food later.”

He smiled warmly. “Sure.”

I went back to my bedroom and got down to business. I locked the door and opened the drawer of my nightstand. I took out the tablet and turned it on.
