Third Person's POV

Cliff arrived at the place and saw a piece of Vanya's clothing laid out before him. The salvage team asked, "Sir, is this your wife's clothing?"

Cliff's expression froze.

He had seen Vanya wear this, and it matched the clothes she wore in the kidnapping surveillance footage.

"...Yes."

"We believe your wife has perished. We'll cease the search. Please take care."

The salvage team had searched for so long without finding a body. The recovered clothing made it clear—Vanya was gone.

Cliff frowned. "You can't declare her dead without a body."

Before he could argue further, Elliot sensed Cliff's rising anger and stepped in.

He said to the team, "Thank you for your hard work these past days. Mr. Todd will prepare some gifts for you. Please rest now."

The team nodded and left.

Cliff shook off Elliot's hold. "Vanya's body isn't found—she's not dead!"

"Alpha Cliff, she's dead."

  • Contract With Alpha Theodore   Chapter 355

    Third Person's POVThat ring was her only comfort in prison, but Melinda had tricked her out of it with a promise to "find your father," only to vanish without a trace.The statement hit the room like a depth charge, creating a profound silence.Melinda's arrest for financial fraud had been public, but she was "released on bail" shortly after.People had assumed the Chambers paid for her freedom.Now, with Ella's accusation, everyone's gaze turned sharp and probing, focusing on Melinda.Melinda's face flashed white, but she quickly composed herself. "So you say I tricked you out of a ring to get out of jail. But what about you? Why were you in jail?"She paused, sweeping her gaze across the guests, clearly intending to crush Ella entirely.Ella's face instantly flushed, then rapidly paled. Her lips trembled.She clenched the hem of her faded T-shirt. Her time in prison was a painful scar she never spoke of, and now it wa

  • 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?
