Semua Bab Sold To The Wrong Lycan Heir: Bab 141 - Bab 150

Chapter 142 – Leave Her BehindThe temperature in the room seemed to drop ten degrees. Jesse actually took a step back."That the food was laced with sedatives," Dr. Chen said calmly, apparently unbothered by the sudden shift in atmosphere. He'd been the Black family physician long enough to be immune to their moods. "Probably something fast-acting. Benzodiazepines, maybe, or a barbiturate. I won't know for sure until I run tests."Noel's jaw clenched so hard Jesse could hear his teeth grind together. Someone had done this deliberately. Someone had drugged Aria, and when he found out who, they would learn exactly what happened when you crossed Noel Black.His first instinct was to suspect Paige,she had motive, means, and a history of manipulation. But she was unconscious too, which complicated things. Unless she'd miscalculated the dose, accidentally drugged herself along with her intended target. It was possible.Or someone else was behind this. Someone who'd used the pizza delivery

Chapter 144 – The InterrogationNoel couldn't shake the feeling that Liam knew something about what had happened to Aria. The suspicion gnawed at him like a persistent ache. How else could his brother make such a bold move?If only he'd seen who Liam had been texting earlier, or what messages he'd received. Maybe then he could piece this puzzle together. The delivery guy might have answers, but that would have to wait. Right now, he had to keep his composure.Every eye in the room was on him. He kept his expression cold and his voice steady. "She's not at the office anymore. She's already on her way here. Let's continue with dinner."The lie came out smooth and confident, just in case any of these vultures decided to call Aria's office to verify his story.Liam hesitated. Maybe acting on Paige's information had been premature. Aria wasn't at the office,Noel had just confirmed it. So was she really on her way? His brother seemed awfully certain.But Paige had confessed to drugging Aria

Chapter 146 – Power PlayAfter the way his extended family,including his own brother,had pressured him about Aria's absence, Noel was determined to return the favor."Since you've all been waiting so patiently for my wife," he said, his voice carrying across the table, "perhaps you could serve our food now. You can watch us eat, just as I watched all of you."It was nearly midnight. They'd been discussing wedding arrangements for hours, ready to wrap up and leave. Now they'd have to sit here indefinitely while Noel and Aria finished their meal at whatever leisurely pace they chose.The displeasure on their faces was unmistakable.Uncle Dean bristled at the blatant disrespect. "Noel,""Come now, Uncle Dean." Noel cut him off smoothly, in an excellent mood thanks to Aria's timely arrival. "You were so concerned about my wellbeing earlier. And I made it perfectly clear that I wouldn't eat until my wife arrived."The polite way he'd exposed his uncle's hypocrisy left no room for refusal.

Chapter 148 – Buying Silence"W-what are you talking about?" Liam stammered, shrinking under Noel's dark stare."I've never known you to stammer, Liam." Noel's voice was ice-cold, his eyebrows raised in that menacing way that made even grown men nervous.Every eye at the table turned to Liam, including Ruby's. She had no idea what was happening, but she remembered his warning from earlier and kept her mouth shut.Feeling cornered, Liam tried to deflect with laughter. "How could your wife have been drugged? Weren't you supposed to be watching her? Didn't you say she was working late?"He threw out questions rapid-fire, hoping that if Noel started answering them, he'd buy himself some time to think.But it only deepened Noel's suspicions. He knew his younger brother,had practically raised him after their mother died. Liam had become this stubborn, this defiant, after Noel killed their father. But Liam had been too young then to understand the full picture. At six years older, Noel had s

Chapter 150 – A Home-Cooked MealThirty minutes earlier, Aria had woken up feeling surprisingly refreshed. Despite everything that had happened last night,the drugging, the tense family dinner,the long sleep from the sedatives had actually done her some good.She dressed for work with renewed energy. Meeting Noel's extended family was finally behind her. Now she could focus on what really mattered: hitting her targets and reclaiming not only her mother's shares, but the entire company.As she descended the stairs, the house was still quiet. The chef hadn't started cooking yet, which worked perfectly. She could slip out before Betty insisted she eat breakfast.But as she reached for the front door, it swung open before she could touch the handle."Good morning, ma'am. Ready for work?" Jack stood there in his usual black suit, looking impeccable. His eyes stayed carefully averted from hers.Aria was relieved her strategy from last night had worked. If she'd shown too much concern for Ja
