Semua Bab Contract With Alpha Theodore: Bab 221 - Bab 230

Third Person's POVVanya said nothing.From Derrick and Grace's reactions earlier, it was clear Gillian and Theodore had some connection."Let's get out," she said."Yes, Vanya," Stewart replied. He got out and opened the door for her.Vanya was dressed in a wine-red gown today. Her black hair fell to her waist, and silver earrings dangled from her ears. She looked doll-like and exquisite.As soon as she got out, all eyes were on her."This is Miss Dalton, right? What's she doing here?""Didn't you see the news? She survived that tragedy and even asked for a divorce from Todd's CEO at the funeral.""Attending such an event now and dressed so provocatively, she's really bold."The matrons around her whispered.The security outside Winston Manor held out his hand. "Invitation, please."Stewart took out an invite for Vanya. It read "M Group CEO, Kendrick."The security frowned and sized up Vanya,

Third Person's POV"What did you say?" Vanya frowned——Cliff had taken Aldridge?"Cliff's men stormed in and took him!" Mirabel said between sobs. "Cliff gave me an address and told me to tell you to come. He said if you don't, he'll kill Aldridge!""Give me the address.""It's room 8023 at the GrandVista Hotel!"On hearing this, the tension on Vanya's face disappeared, and her voice turned cold, "Alright, I'm on my way."After hanging up, Stewart, who had heard the conversation, asked, "Vanya, are you going to the GrandVista Hotel?""No, back to the Dalton residence," Vanya replied."Back to the Dalton residence? But Cliff...""If Cliff really took Aldridge, why meet at a hotel? Wouldn't it be better to threaten me at home? Something's definitely wrong," Vanya said.Mirabel was crafty and was probably up to no good.Vanya wasn't naive enough to fall for this. The priority was to check things out

Third Person's POVThe hallway light flooded the room. Theodore threw a punch, knocking Cliff to the ground instantly.Cliff wiped the blood from his lip, a cold glint in his eye. "Theodore?"Theodore shrugged off his coat, wrapped it around Vanya to shield her, and held her close."Cliff, you really are despicable," Theodore said, his voice cold with anger.Stewart arrived, out of breath.He'd been left in the dust when Theodore sprinted upstairs."Vanya!" Stewart panted. "I called the police. They'll be here any second.""Called the police?"Cliff sneered. "Have you lost your mind?"Theodore's involvement in shady businesses was no secret. Calling the police was a risky move.Vanya was stunned too. She whispered, "Theodore! Do you know what you're doing?"She wasn't sure if Theodore's operations had spread to LA. If they had, this could be dangerous.Theodore had been in the game too long no

Third Person's POVThe police car circled for a solid half-hour before finally pulling into the police station.Cliff stepped out, his face dark with fury, Elliot by his side seething with barely contained anger.The driver's deliberate detour was clearly a scheme to parade them before the public, inflating the scandal.How could Theodore resort to such despicable means?"Mr. Winston, Miss Dalton, please exit the vehicle," came the officer's call from another police car.Vanya, wrapped in Theodore's coat, stepped out and locked eyes with Cliff, her gaze ice-cold.Cliff cast a sidelong glance at Theodore and sneered, "Theodore, your tactics are truly impressive."Theodore smirked, "Compared to you, my methods are somewhat more refined.""Mr. Todd, if you please, accompany us for a statement," the police said, steering Cliff away.As Cliff was led off, his eyes lingered on Vanya, but she turned her head away.

Third Person's POVGenevieve was momentarily at a loss for words.At this moment, Veronica stepped forward and said, "Genevieve is the future Luna of Cliff! Choose your words carefully. Otherwise, when Cliff gets out, you'll have hell to pay!"Denis, who still had some apprehensions about Cliff, was momentarily speechless upon hearing that Genevieve was to be the future Luna and refrained from further harsh remarks.Vanya, who had been silent all along, let out a light laugh at this. "Becoming the Luna seems rather effortless. How often do you change your candidates? I recall that not long ago, Ms. Coleman, who was pregnant, also claimed she would marry into the Todd family. Is Cliff planning to take in two Lunas?"Veronica sneered, "That's our family business. I believe it's none of your concern."No sooner had Veronica finished speaking than Cliff emerged from the interrogation room.His gaze fell on Vanya, his eyes inscrutable, revealing nothing of his thoughts.Upon seeing Cliff,
