Third Person's POV

"Misunderstanding?"

Grace pushed aside the bodyguards and walked in. "Wilmot is the second son of the Hammond family. He's been wronged and falsely accused by your lover. Do you really think you can just brush it off as a misunderstanding?"

Cliff was about to speak when he saw Edwin, seated in a wheelchair, behind Grace.

His brow furrowed deeply.

Vanya was also taken aback.

She hadn't expected Grace to fetch Edwin.

But... wasn't Edwin supposed to be frail and ill?

Seeing his pale complexion yet composed demeanor, Vanya couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.

Cliff frowned, "Mr. Hammond?"

Edwin had no intention of wasting words on Cliff. He raised a hand, and the bodyguards behind him moved to pull Melinda off the bed.

"What are you doing! Alpha Cliff... save me!" Melinda panicked, her body barely covered by a bath towel.

Her shoulders were exposed as the coat slipped off unde

  • Contract With Alpha Theodore   Chapter 266

    Third Person's POVAldridge fired three questions at Vanya, but she didn't answer a single one.Instead, she offered a faint smile. "Aldridge, it seems you do care about me.""Of course! You're the only child of my brother. How could I not care?"Aldridge sighed heavily. "Someone deliberately framed our Dalton family, landing you in jail. The rumors outside have been terrible these past days. I've been worried sick about you.""Relax, here I am, back safe and sound," Vanya said, walking into the living room and sitting naturally on the leather sofa as if she were at home.Aldridge stood rooted to the spot, at a loss for words.Vanya turned to look at him and said calmly, "Aldridge, don't just stand there. Sit.""O-Okay," Aldridge sat on the sofa opposite Vanya, glancing at her from time to time.He was clearly still hung up on his earlier questions. "Vanya, quickly tell me how you got out. Did Mr. Winston pull some strin

  • Contract With Alpha Theodore   Chapter 265

    Third Person's POVVanya "floated" to the side, looking at her past self, and couldn't help but curl her lips in self-mockery.In her previous life, for the sake of Cliff, she had run herself ragged.Only to end up in such a miserable situation. Now, thinking back, it was truly not worth it."Vanya, don't blame me for being ruthless," Melinda said, staring at the face of the corpse, her tone brimming with triumph."Only with your death can the position of Cliff's Luna naturally fall to me, and Cliff will finally be entirely mine."As she spoke, she reached out and removed the diamond ring from the corpse's hand, holding it between her fingers to examine it closely.Vanya remembered clearly that this ring was gifted to her after she became pregnant in her past life.At that time, she excitedly shared the news of her pregnancy with Veronica, who showed her unusual concern and mentioned gifting her something "representing the Todd

    Third Person's POVIt was the dead of night at Hammond Manor.Vanya lay in bed, fast asleep, but her dreams transported her back to the memories of her previous life.She "floated" above the operating room, watching herself on the table, covered in blood and without a pulse.A doctor nearby was shaking as he picked up his phone to call Cliff.As soon as the call connected, Cliff's impatient voice came through, "What now? If you're calling at this hour, better have a good reason."The doctor swallowed hard and stammered, "Alpha Cliff, Luna Vanya... we couldn't save her. She's didn't make it."Vanya, observing from the side, suddenly grew anxious—the other end of the line fell into a deafening silence. No response from Cliff, just silence.She could almost picture it——Cliff might be secretly relieved or even pleased upon hearing of her death.After all, with her out of the picture, the position of Silver

  • Contract With Alpha Theodore   Chapter 263

    Third Person's POVAfter the maid left, Vanya stared at the table full of food but felt no hunger.She had no idea how chaotic the public discourse had become in her absence, nor did she have any information about the handover between the Dalton Group and M Group.Meanwhile, at the police station, Denis stood so rigid that his back ached.He looked at Cliff seated across from him and said helplessly, "Alpha Cliff, I really can't let you see Miss Dalton. It's the rule, and I can't make an exception."Cliff, exuding a cold Alpha aura, threatened, "Denis, are you trying to get fired?""No, Alpha Cliff, that's not what I meant."Denis waved his hands frantically. "Higher-ups have explicitly said Miss Dalton can't be seen. I can't change the rules!""Higher-ups?" Cliff frowned and stood up. "If you won't let me see her, I'll go find those who will."His expression grew colder, and his Alpha aura intensified.No influen

    Third Person's POVEdwin inhaled the spray deeply, and his breathing gradually stabilized.He said, "Miss Dalton, I understand your concerns. However, the current situation is delicate.""You know that as the legal representative of the Dalton Group, with the accounts in disarray, public opinion is bound to point fingers at you. Rest assured, my team is conducting an expedited investigation and will clear your name shortly.""I'll save my thanks for when the time comes."Vanya didn't wish to press him further. "In the meantime, I'd appreciate it if you could ensure my stay here remains confidential.""Of course, Miss Dalton. We have dedicated personnel ensuring your privacy is maintained. No one will discover your whereabouts," assured Edwin.His bodyguard stepped forward respectfully and said, "This way, Miss Dalton. We've prepared temporary accommodations for you nearby."Vanya followed the bodyguard out of the room. The air

  • Contract With Alpha Theodore   Chapter 261

    Third Person's POV"Miss Dalton, the Dalton Group was never known for its business acumen. In truth, when you inherited the family assets and joined the Dalton Group, the company was already in the red. It's only survived this long because of its deep pockets."Vanya stared at the IOUs—starting from tens of thousands, to hundreds of thousands, then growing to millions...The total shockingly climbed to tens of millions!These debts had snowballed, each IOU feeling like a life crushed under its weight.She could picture Aldridge's desperation when he signed them.What shocked her even more was that the earliest IOU dated back four years.Why hadn't she spotted this risk in the Dalton Group back then?"Mr. Hammond, you've known about this all along, haven't you?" Vanya looked up."I've known bits and pieces, but I never found the right time to tell you," Edwin said earnestly.Vanya pressed on. "Then who report
