Vanya's POV
Cliff probably didn't expect that I would really cook. I saw his hand holding the coffee cup pause, and his gaze couldn't help but be cast towards me.I was busy, but my heart was in all kinds of moods.As the daughter of an Alpha, I have been served meticulously by Omegas and servants since I was a child, and I never needed to set foot in the kitchen.After marrying Cliff in my previous life, I believed Veronica's words, thinking that to capture a man's heart, I had to first capture his stomach. So, I, who had never touched the edge of the kitchen, started to try cooking in various ways.But what was the result?Cliff never tasted the food I made, and his heart was always with Melinda. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't enter his world.After breakfast was ready, I saw Cliff frown when he saw there was no portion for him and asked, "Where's mine?""If you want to eat, make it yourself," I said in a bad tone.The resentmenThird Person's POVVeronica visibly calmed upon hearing this.When she turned to Vanya, her initial arrogance had dissolved, and her tone softened, "Vanya, in these tough times, you should support Cliff more. It's your duty as his mate, don't you think?"Vanya cast her eyes downward. "I've been staying with the Dalton family these past days to help Cliff."Veronica nodded approvingly. "Good girl."Vanya remained silent.Veronica continued, "Seeing how united you two are, I'm looking forward to enjoying some family bliss. From today on, I'll stay here and help you manage the pack's affairs, Cliff, what do you say?"Cliff frowned. "Granny..."Before he could finish, Veronica turned to Vanya, her words laden with implication, "Vanya, and what's your take?""You're welcome to stay. But Cliff and I are often out, and I'm afraid we might not be able to take good care of you," Vanya said."No problem at all. There're ome
Third Person's POV"Miss Coleman's academic record checks out. Her grades were consistently solid. If she were to work in finance, she'd likely make a name for herself," Stewart remarked.Vanya, of course, was well aware of this.In her previous life, after Melinda pursued further studies abroad, she returned to help Cliff amass a fortune.Cliff, impressed by her contributions, had taken her under his wing.As dusk settled, Vanya drove back to the Silver Moon Pack.Veronica was sitting on the sofa as expected, her sandalwood-scented aura heavy with barely contained fury."Where's Cliff?" Vanya asked upon entering the living room. Her lily-like, crisp presence trembled faintly under Veronica's sandalwood-infused pressure.She had anticipated Veronica summoning Cliff back, but it seemed Veronica wished for a private discussion."Cliff is still in a meeting. I asked him to return later," Veronica said.Her sandalwood
Third Person's POVThat afternoon, Melinda received an interview invite from one of the M Group's companies.She dressed meticulously and entered the premises in high heels.The interviewer glanced at her resume and asked, "I see you're a graduate student at Wolfe International Finance School."Melinda replied with a hint of pride, "Yes, I am.""It's quite an achievement to get in at such a young age," the interviewer said approvingly.Melinda's confidence swelled—she had indeed earned her place at Wolfe through hard work.The interviewer clarified, "We do have an internship position, but not as Deputy General Manager.""Not Deputy General Manager?" Melinda frowned.She had anticipated challenges but pressed on, "My minimum requirement is a team leader role in the Finance Department or Accounting Department...""No, no, no, you've misunderstood," the interviewer interjected."While we value applicants
Third Person's POVIn the office, employees who had previously fawned over Melinda now placed small snacks on Vanya's desk."Vanya, we were blind before. Please don't take it to heart," they said."Yeah, I always liked you! It was Melinda and Sabrina who wouldn't let us talk to you!" others chimed in."You're so pretty. How could Alpha Cliff not see that and go for Melinda instead…" some added.Vanya remained indifferent to their flattery.Workplace fickleness was nothing new.As she looked up, she spotted Melinda exiting Evans's office.With a sour expression, Melinda seemed to be nursing some dark thoughts. Vanya leaned back in her chair, watching her with mild interest."Melinda!" A few female employees jumped in fright and quickly moved aside—they didn't want to anger either Vanya or Melinda."Now that I'm fired, are you satisfied?" Melinda glared at Vanya.Vanya smiled. "If you're fired, i
Third Person's POVVanya found the situation amusing. Her gaze fell on Melinda, brimming with mockery. "Miss Coleman, business is like a battlefield. You can't morally coerce others with just the word 'effort.' It seems you're not cut out for the workplace—you'd fare better as a nun in a church.""You!" Melinda was left speechless."Mrs. Todd is right. Our planning does have shortcomings..." Evans quickly agreed. He didn't dare cross Vanya now.After all, Cliff and Vanya were still mated, and he wasn't about to side with a breeder first.Vanya said, "Mr. Thompson, first and foremost, I am the owner of Dalton Media. Second, I am Mrs. Todd.""Right, right! My mistake, please don't take it to heart," Evans replied."These past days at the Thompson Group, if anything has troubled you, please forgive us. Such incidents won't recur," Evans added."Very well," Vanya said coolly. "I'm not unreasonable. I'll fulfill my duties and
Third Person's POV"Miss Coleman, since you're speechless, kindly inform Mr. Thompson to meet me," Vanya said, handing the documents to Stewart beside her."I'm not in a good mood today. Let's table this contract for this year."Sabrina, hearing the commotion from her office, frowned as she stepped out.Seeing Vanya, she remarked, "Vanya, why is it always you? Can't you work properly!"But she soon sensed something was amiss as everyone around her shot her a "stop talking" look.Only then did Sabrina notice Stewart beside Vanya. She quickly put on a smile and approached him. "Isn't this Stewart? Here for Mr. Calvert's contract discussion? This way, please."Stewart, expressionless, replied, "Not me. Our CEO, Miss Dalton is here to meet with Mr. Thompson.""Miss Dalton?" Sabrina glanced around but saw no one.Stewart gestured toward Vanya. "This is our CEO, Vanya Dalton from the Dalton family."Sabrina followed his gaze and saw Vanya leaning against her desk, regarding her like a clown
