Third Person's POV
In the banquet hall, Hazel saw Yvette enter alone and a smile curved her lips.
It seemed that Madison had indeed lured Patience away.
If Patience wanted to get her ten million dollars, she would have to see if she was lucky enough!
When the time came, not only would she fail to get the money, but she would also be disgraced. Even if Kelsey didn't want to divorce her, he would have no choice but to do so!
In the shadows of the 12th floor, Madison and Hattie were anxiously waiting.
"Why hasn't she arrived yet? It's been half an hour. She wouldn't be playing us and not coming, would she?" Hattie said nervously—they were all ready.
"No, as long as she still wants that ten million dollars, she will definitely come," Madison said with certainty.
In her eyes, Patience was just a woman with no real skills.
Faced with such a large sum of money, how could she not be greedy?
At that moment, Patience'

Patience's POVI wanted to return the blood-stained clothes that Cyrus had given me.I had initially planned to just drop them off at the entrance of the Gross Manor and have an omega pass them along.However, the omega respectfully said, "Mr. Gross is not in New York. He said that if you truly wishes to return them, you should hand them over to him in person."A hint of frustration welled up inside me. "When will he be back?""Probably in a couple of days," the omega replied truthfully.After leaving, I went straight to BlueTech.As soon as Yvette saw the clothes in my hand, her eyes lit up.She exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, this is a limited-edition from Chanel! Weren't you never interested in such high-end fashion before?"As a friend, she knew my style all too well.Simple, comfortable, and easy to move in—that's all I ever cared about. I never chased after brands or styles."To return to Cyrus," I
Third Person's POVOver the next few days, Kelsey was busy scrambling for funds.After all, with the bank loan denied, the company's cash flow was in trouble.Once again, after receiving a call rejecting his plea for help, Kelsey irritably tossed his phone aside.Hoffman Tech had sailed smoothly for three years since its inception.But ever since Patience left, not only had the projects gone awry, but the funds were also in a bind, and several other projects were in disarray."Why can't you handle such a minor issue? Why didn't we ever have problems before?"During a company meeting, when he vented his anger, the response from the senior executives was, "Patience used to handle all these issues."Patience had left the company, yet her name lingered like a shadow, impossible to erase.His mind flashed back to what the project manager from a previous partner had said, "It seems you don't understand Patience's value at all!
Patience's POV"Shopping when someone got hurt, and my clothes accidentally got a bit of blood on them," I said, not planning to tell him about the attack or the bomb at the mall."As long as you're alrigh. That's all that matters," Kelsey breathed a sigh of relief, the tension on his face easing considerably."And you? Why are you back so early, didn't you stay with Hazel?" I casually asked, my tone devoid of any ripples.Kelsey's expression shifted slightly. He quickly explained, "Hazel and I are just friends. You're my mate. I know you've been wronged lately. I'll make more time for you from now on and won't leave you alone again."From now on? I scoffed inwardly.There was no "from now on" between us.If he truly saw me as his mate, he wouldn't have been absent when I needed him, time and again, for Hazel."So, the only reason you came back early today is really just to be with me?" I looked straight into his eyes, wanting
Third Person's POVCyrus quietly watched Patience's retreating figure.He then slowly turned to his assistant and said, "Tell me, what do you think it would take to get Patience?"Valentine, Cyrus's private assistant, was taken aback.As someone who knew Cyrus well, he was aware that Cyrus was almost a man of few desires.For Cyrus, getting what he wanted was usually a simple matter.But now, he was actually considering how to obtain Patience?"From Ms. Frost's background, she doesn't seem like someone who can be easily swayed by money," Valentine cautiously replied."Yes, she isn't someone who can be easily swayed by money. What about commands? Would she obey?" Cyrus murmured thoughtfully.Valentine was stunned. It seemed Cyrus was truly intent on getting Patience.However, he couldn't tell whether this would be a good or bad thing for her.Patience's POVI returned to the packhouse and first put the blood-stained clothes I had changed out of at the mall into the laundry room, planni
Patience's POVCyrus slowly turned around, his golden vertical pupils astonishingly bright in the darkness.The scent of cedar and leather, mingled with the heavy stench of blood, swept over the space like a beast returning from an icy battlefield, carrying an overwhelming dominance that seemed to solidify the air.His gaze fell on me. That air-freezing aura slightly receded, yet still made me instinctively hold my breath.I stared at him intently, my wolf cowering slightly under the powerful Lycan aura.I had never seen such an aggressive Cyrus, as if he would tear apart every living thing in front of him in the next second.Seemingly noticing my gaze, Cyrus looked up, his golden vertical pupils gleaming coldly in the dim light, while a faint smile played at the corners of his lips.The mixture of cedar and leather scent, along with the lingering blood and a hint of silver moon grass, washed over me.As soon as this scent touc
