Cliff's POV

In the hospital corridor, Elliot hurried back to the ward after receiving a phone call.

He said to me, "Alpha Cliff, there seems to be some trouble at the Hammond family's event."

I made a shushing gesture and glanced at Melinda, who was still unconscious in the hospital bed.

I whispered to Elliot, "Let's talk outside."

"……Yes, Alpha Cliff," Elliot hesitated but went out to wait first.

After I closed the ward door, I said, "Go ahead."

"It's about Luna..."

Before he could finish, I frowned and asked, "What trouble has she caused now?"

"It seems two of Miss Coleman's classmates were slandering Luna Vanya, calling her a call girl and saying some very unpleasant things. They were kicked out by Mr. Hammond."

"Slandering Vanya as a call girl?" I furrowed my brows even more. "Would she just stand there and let herself be slandered?"

"Luna Vanya didn't say a word the whole time. It was Gra

  • Contract With Alpha Theodore   Chapter 354

    Third Person's POVHer words were flawless, delivered with a tone of "goodwill," but everyone understood: she was implying that Melinda was mentally unstable and that her claims should be ignored.Cyrus suddenly shielded Melinda, his chest heaving violently.His voice was filled with rage, but it trembled with a lack of confidence. "I'd like to see who dares to take my daughter!"The moment he finished speaking, the ballroom doors creaked open.All eyes turned to the entrance. A woman stood there, dressed in faded jeans and a grey t-shirt, her shoes lightly dusted with dirt—a jarring sight at the glamorous gala.The woman saw Cyrus, her eyes instantly welled up, and she quickly ran in, collapsing onto the floor and hugging his legs, sobbing loudly. "Dad! I finally found you!"Cyrus's face immediately turned ashen. His body stiffened like a stone, and his grip on Melinda loosened slightly.Zander watched the scene, a faint

  • Contract With Alpha Theodore   Chapter 353

    Third Person's POVCyrus stiffened, a fresh wave of cold sweat breaking out on his back.How could he have forgotten that Cliff was never a man to be coerced?Those ambiguous "hints" they'd acted on might have been a trap from the very beginning.They thought they had secured the Todds' backing, rushed to cut ties with Zander, and then foolishly broadcast the engagement news to all of Los Angeles.He wanted to force Cliff to "go with the flow," but now it just looked like a pathetic spectacle."What's going on? Wasn't Alpha Cliff supposed to get engaged to Miss Chambers?" someone whispered in the corner, confusion in their voice, forgetting to swirl their champagne."I knew it!" A curly-haired woman nearby immediately chimed in, a mocking smile on her lips."Ella is just a home-wrecker. She couldn't get into the Todds even when she was pregnant. Now that the baby's gone, why would the Todds accept her?""I bet the Chambe

  • Contract With Alpha Theodore   Chapter 352

    Third Person's POVMelinda's face was completely drained of color, pale as a lifeless sheet.Her lips trembled slightly, and her eyes were unfocused. "Cliff... how could this be..." she mumbled, her voice a faint, desperate whisper.She suddenly snapped her head up, her eyes bloodshot, her voice spiking into a sharp, tearing shriek. "Impossible! Cliff! You're lying! You were supposed to marry me!"Tonight was supposed to be her engagement party! She was wearing the most beautiful gown, receiving everyone's blessings, and was about to become Cliff's fiancée. How could everything change so suddenly?Vanya was supposed to be history!Facing Melinda's hysterical outburst, Cliff merely gave her a cold glance.His eyes held no emotion, not even a trace of annoyance.Then, in front of everyone, he firmly grasped Vanya's hand, his thumb gently caressing the back of her hand.His voice was unwavering. "I will only ever hav

  • Contract With Alpha Theodore   Chapter 351

    Third Person's POVMelinda covered her mouth, feigning surprise. "I can't believe Luna Vanya is like that. I had no idea."Trina quickly jumped in. "Oh, there's a lot you don't know. Some people look sophisticated, but it's just an act. They're rotten underneath.""Anyway, after tonight, you'll be Mrs. Todd. Alpha Cliff won't spare her a second glance.""That's right, Miss Chambers," Lucy approached Melinda, a champagne glass in hand, and said with a flattering look.She spoke softly but loud enough for everyone to hear. "I always thought you were much prettier than Vanya! Vanya always had that frivolous look in her eyes. She never seemed like a proper, well-behaved woman. Alpha Cliff is so lucky to be with you!""Isn't that the truth?" Cheryl immediately agreed, gently tapping her skirt with her finger, her voice full of envy."Miss Chambers is a top graduate from the Wolfe International Finance School on merit! Vanya only got into that kind of school by cutting corners and pulling s

  • Contract With Alpha Theodore   Chapter 350

    Third Person's POVZander gripped Melinda's hand, secretly increasing the pressure, his eyes full of menace.But Melinda acted as if she didn't notice, smiling. "Yes, I finally got what I wanted, and I have you to thank—how could I have married Cliff so smoothly without you?"Melinda turned to Cyrus. "Dad, you'll have to thank Zander properly later.""Of course, Zander is like a son to me."Cyrus patted Zander's shoulder. "We have other guests to attend to. Excuse us for a moment."Cyrus's words were clearly a courtesy dismissal.Zander immediately understood the underlying meaning.He frowned. "Cyrus, are you being distant with me?"For years, Zander had treated Cyrus like his own father, and outsiders assumed Zander would be Cyrus's successor.But now that Ella was found, Cyrus was turning around and marrying his daughter off to Cliff, clearly intending to cut Zander out."How could I? Don't overthi

  • Contract With Alpha Theodore   Chapter 349

    Third Person's POVCliff pushed the document toward Vanya.She took it and examined the terms carefully.The terms were different from before. The Todds would give Vanya a divorce settlement, but the agreement came with conditions.To maintain the Todd family's image, the divorce had to be kept strictly confidential for six months, during which they had to publicly claim to have reconciled and renewed their vows.Furthermore, Vanya had to appropriately maintain a public image of intimacy with Cliff when in public. After the divorce, both parties were to have absolutely no financial involvement.Finally, Vanya was forbidden from using public opinion to slander the Todds. To protect both their images and prevent unnecessary speculation, neither party could marry anyone else for one year after the finalization.Vanya looked at the divorce agreement and couldn't help but feel amused. "Cliff, are you joking with me?""I've already s
