Cliff's POV

A wave of annoyance surged within me, my brows furrowing tightly.

I snapped at Elliot, "I explicitly told you to inform her not to come today. What exactly happened?"

Elliot's gaze shifted between Melinda and me.

Melinda, startled by the suffocating tension, immediately had her eyes rimmed with a circle of redness.

She hurriedly explained, her voice on the verge of tears, "This isn't Beta Elliot's fault. I told him to notify Luna Vanya... I'm aware of my status, and I don't want to cause you any trouble, so... I thought it would be more appropriate for Luna Vanya to accompany you inside..."

With that, she lowered her head, her vulnerable and helpless appearance unconsciously stirring a hint of pity in my heart.

I raised my hand to rub my temple, internally caught in a very dilemma.

On one hand, I really didn't want Vanya to appear here, fearing various unexpected situations.

On the other hand, I couldn't ignore Melinda's terrified state.

Melinda gently bit her lower lip, l

    Third Person's POVVanya froze, certain she hadn't misheard—Edwin had mentioned M Group, not Dalton Group.It turned out Edwin did know she was the one behind M Group."Mr. Hammond..." Vanya began, but Edwin cut her off."I dislike beating around the bush. Don't deny your ties to M Group. I wouldn't have presented this contract without absolute certainty."With Edwin's bluntness, Vanya dispensed with pretense. "How exactly do we cooperate?""It's a long-term strategic partnership. The Hammond Group plans to launch a joint project with M. We'll benefit mutually and expand our presence in Los Angeles."Vanya frowned. The Hammond Group, with its centuries-old legacy, shouldn't need to partner with anyone.As long as the Hammond Group existed, it was the established brand here. No one would ever question the name "Hammond."Yet Edwin's proposal seemed to favor her side.M Group stood to gain significantly from this collaboration, effectively aligning with the formidable Hammond family.Wi

    Third Person's POVThe EliteHaven Hotel, a Hammond family asset, had never tolerated disruptions on its premises.Melinda, an outsider to their circle, was understandably unaware of this unwritten rule.While the hotel might turn a blind eye to common incidents, any deliberate disturbance by a figure from their social sphere would incur severe repercussions.Given Melinda's current status as a Todd Group affiliate and her pregnancy with Cliff's child, any accountability for her outburst would ultimately land at the Todd Group's door."Melinda..." Edwin paused contemplatively before dismissing the name with a shrug. "I don't recall her."Vanya was taken aback. She had never expected Edwin to say such a thing.The scandal surrounding Cliff and Melinda had been all the rage, yet Edwin claimed no memory of her.Moreover, Edwin had encountered Melinda before—when she had slandered Wilmot. How could he have no memory of her?Sensing Vanya's surprise, Edwin coolly explained, "I don't bother

    Third Person's POVVanya stood rooted to the spot as Melinda shot her a triumphant smile.What if Cliff had feelings for her?In the end, wouldn't he still prioritize Melinda?Watching Cliff carry Melinda away, Vanya wasn't thinking about the onlookers' judgmental stares. Her mind drifted to a bitter what-if: if only Cliff had been this responsible toward her child in her past life, perhaps she wouldn't have lost it.People were different, after all.In Cliff's eyes, no matter how vile Melinda was, the child in her womb was still precious.Vanya slowly exited the restaurant. As she reached the door, a woman's voice cut through the air, "Sir, are you alright? Let me help you up!"Following the voice, Vanya saw a familiar figure in a semi-tilted wheelchair in a nearby corner. She froze— it was Edwin.She suddenly recalled that EliteHaven was a Hammond family hotel.It wasn't strange to see Edwin here at night.

    Third Person's POVCliff's Alpha aura eased slightly, replaced by pheromones laced with reassurance, as he tried to coax Vanya's resistance into submission.Hearing this, Vanya stilled, ceasing her struggle and letting Cliff hold her, though the cold aura around her remained undiminished.Noticing her stillness, a flicker of joy ignited in Cliff's eyes—only to be doused instantly by Vanya's chilling reply, "I let you go because you had nothing to do with that incident. That's all."Her words doused Cliff's hope like a bucket of ice water.His grip on Vanya tightened reflexively, the wolf hair on his knuckles growing darker.Meanwhile, the driver had delivered Melinda to the hotel entrance.Through the window, Melinda spotted Cliff embracing Vanya from behind. Jealousy blazed in her eyes like wildfire.Her wolfish agitation pheromones, tinged with cheap perfume, erupted uncontrollably—an aggressive stench.Clu

    Third Person's POVDusk fell. Melinda set a table full of dishes, waiting for Cliff to return.As the clock struck seven, a car pulled into the Silver Moon Pack's driveway.Melinda flung open the door, beaming, only to see the driver step out."Where's Cliff? Why isn't he back?" she asked.The driver replied, "Alpha Cliff has business tonight. He said to tell you and Madam Todd not to wait up for dinner.""Where's he headed?" Melinda pressed."Seems like he's meeting Luna Vanya," the driver said.At the mention of Cliff meeting Vanya, Melinda's fists clenched.Despite Vanya's utter disregard for Cliff, he remained fixated on her."Do you know the location?" Melinda asked."EliteHaven Hotel," the driver answered."Hotel?" The image of Cliff and Vanya in a compromising situation flashed through Melinda's mind."I just realized I need to find Alpha Cliff right now. Take me to EliteHaven right awa

    Third Person's POV"Vanya! Something's happened at Todd!" Stewart exclaimed as he rushed into Vanya's office.Judging by Stewart's excitement, Vanya knew it was good news. "What happened at Todd this time?" she asked."I heard a worker jumped off their construction site. The building's been labeled non-compliant, and they're facing a loss of hundreds of millions."A faint smile spread across Vanya's face. The time had come.At the Todd Group's front desk, phones were ringing nonstop, and the conference room was in chaos."How could a worker suddenly jump? Who's in charge of this project?" a director fumed.Cliff pushed the door open, and the room fell silent."Alpha Cliff! You've gotta do something! The finance department can't come up with hundreds of millions to support this project. If it falls through now, it'll be disastrous!""Todd can afford this loss," Cliff said calmly.Cliff's voice was calm and collecte
