Semua Bab Rejected, But Trapped By The Alpha King: Bab 531 - Bab 538

Cline stroked the knife, his indifferent eyes coldly regarding Merlin. "Mr. Coburn, it's high time the public knew about the hit you ordered on Calvert three years ago."Merlin's face drained of color. He stared at Cline in disbelief. "You... how could you..."He wanted to ask how Cline knew but feared admitting guilt, so he kept quiet.Cline curled his lips slightly. "I also know that you were the mastermind behind the kidnapping of the Calvert family thirty years ago."Merlin's body stiffened. His heart sank, and a chill spread through him, making him tremble with fear.Back then, to secure the inheritance, he had plotted and ordered the attack on his eldest brother's family, letting his third brother take the fall.He thought the plan was foolproof, but this young man seemed to know the truth.Who on earth was he?Merlin's gaze turned from disdain to horror. "Who are you?"Cline glanced at him, clearly losing patience

Luana's hand tightened around the wedding dress. Her small face turned pale, as if all the blood had been drained from it.Clarissa noticed something was wrong and quickly checked on her. "Luana, what's wrong?"Seeing Clarissa's worried look, Luana shook her head. "I'm fine, just a bit tired..."Clarissa gently hugged her. "If you're tired, rest on my shoulder..."Clarissa didn't mention Cline again. She knew such news would upset Luana.As her only family, all she could offer now was a comforting embrace.Luana rested her head on Clarissa's shoulder. Her dim eyes made her look lifeless.The wedding day arrived quickly.At nine in the morning, the makeup team hired by Albion arrived at the villa. The timing seemed considerate, allowing the bride extra sleep.Clarissa guided them upstairs. Upon seeing Luana, the stylists were amazed by her beauty.They worried an hour wasn't enough, but Luana's natural beauty meant

Cline's clear and pleasant voice trembled slightly, yet he tried his best to keep it from showing.Luana's heart suddenly ached, and her eyes welled up with tears. She couldn't help but respond, "And I wish you happiness too."The last bit of light in the man's eyes behind her faded completely, replaced by despair. Slowly, he released his hold on her…Luana pushed open the car door and realized it had started raining. The fine and dense raindrops made her heart race for a moment.She suppressed the emotions welling up inside and stepped out, walking along the red carpet toward the villa.Seeing the rain, Cline quickly put aside his feelings and took out a black umbrella from the trunk.He rushed to her side, opened it, and held it above her head to shield her from the rain without saying a word.Luana stopped abruptly, looked up at the tall and upright man, and suddenly felt a wave of guilt.She couldn't bring herself to

Cline sneered coldly, "Only after regaining your position at Coburn Group could you protect her. What qualifies you to talk about favors with me now?"Albion's heart skipped a beat, as if Cline had struck a sore spot, making him feel powerless before him.He gripped the contract and, after a deep breath, forced a bitter smile, "You're right, I'm not capable of protecting her."In the past, he lacked the ability to provide her with a better life and had even subjected her to harm due to family matters.Now, confined to a wheelchair and permanently disabled, what could he possibly offer to protect her?In contrast, the man before him radiated strength and power.As the head of the Moriarty Group and the Ortega family, Luana would never suffer or be hurt under his care.Albion seemed to resign himself to this reality, a faint smile curving his lips. He set down the contract and retrieved an exquisite box from his pocket.Slowly op
