2024-12-31 18:00:25Melinda's POV
During class, my thoughts were completely captivated by the bulletin board outside the window, and my eyes kept glancing in that direction.
The teacher's lecture seemed to become an annoying background noise. She called my name twice, but I was oblivious.
"Melinda. Can you answer that question?!" Professor's voice suddenly rose, her tone filled with impatience, which jerked me back from my reverie.
I snapped back to reality, standing up in a panic. "Professor, I..."
"You've been absent from class lately, and when you do attend, you're daydreaming. I know you have decent grades, but you're a senior now. If you don't accumulate enough class hours, you won't graduate!" She frowned and reprimanded me sternly.
I had been frequently absent from school recently, and my teacher, considering my grades were not bad, hadn't made too much of an issue about it.

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

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

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

Third Person's POVThe guard escorted Vanya out of the interrogation room. The outdoor breeze dispelled her frustration.At the back door, a black Maybach awaited—a car she recognized as Edwin's.The driver swiftly opened the rear door. Vanya approached and asked, "Are you from Mr. Hammond?"She had visited the Hammond family three times before and had a distinct impression of Edwin's personal driver."I am, Miss Dalton," the driver replied respectfully. "Upon learning of your situation, Mr. Hammond immediately took action. He coordinated with the authorities to secure your temporary release and arranged for me to bring you to the Hammond family's temporary residence. It's heavily guarded by our people, ensuring your complete privacy."Vanya fell silent. She hadn't expected Edwin's influence to be this strong—one word from him, and the police let her go.As the car sped through the city, she stared out the window, her mind

Third Person's POVSeeing Vanya's resolve, the guard didn't dare delay and immediately went to fetch someone.After all, Vanya's status and her formidable legal team made the situation too hot to handle.Before long, Denis rushed in.Vanya had met him before and greeted him with a faint sneer, "Denis."Wiping his sweaty brow, Denis replied cautiously, "Miss Dalton...""I once thought you were a smart man," Vanya said with a touch of sarcasm."Miss Dalton, this really isn't my doing! The report call went straight to the higher-ups. I'm just following procedure by bringing you in for questioning," Denis explained urgently.Vanya softened slightly. "Who made the call, then?""I truly don't know. They used a voice-changer and a public phone booth. We can't even tell if it was a man or a woman," Denis said, his face clearing of deception.He hesitated, then added, "Miss Dalton, I need to tell you something.""Ou
