Sold To The Wrong Lycan Heir のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 161 - チャプター 170

Chapter 162 – Ghost StoriesBy the time they reached the restaurant, Aria had lost her appetite completely. She waved for Jack to order first, then turned to face Zoe with crossed arms."So? Are you going to tell me what's going on, or do I have to drag it out of you?"Zoe looked relieved that she didn't have to bring it up herself. "Have you ever felt like you slept with a ghost?"Aria had just taken a sip of water and promptly choked on it, coughing as she tried to regain her composure."Thanks to my disaster of a life, I'm still a virgin," she managed once she could breathe again.The admission made her pause. Had something happened with Drew that she couldn't remember? With Liam, at least, something had always felt wrong between them—enough to keep her guard up."Right, you mentioned that before." Zoe's face fell, and she looked down at the table. Maybe she should be talking to someone with more experience. Someone who'd actually understand.But Aria noticed the way Zoe was trembl

Chapter 164 – Betrayal in the Parking LotAria's smile didn't waver as Mr. Forest shook her hand one last time. Professional. Polished. Everything a CEO should be. She watched him leave the office, heard his footsteps fade down the hallway, and only when she was certain he was gone did she let the mask slip.Her hand fell to her side.That should have been a simple deal. Mr. Forest had seemed interested, genuinely interested, until Paige had swept in with her fake concern and her carefully rehearsed explanations. Aria had played it cool in front of the client, but inside, something had cracked.She'd needed this deal. Not because she was struggling—she wasn't. Noel had made sure of that when he'd put a ring on her finger. But this wasn't about money. It never was.Two weeks until the wedding. Two weeks until the name Aria Black became official, until everyone in the business world would look at her differently. They wouldn't see her then—they'd see the title. The connection. The wealt

Chapter 166 – The Price of DisrespectAria's voice was quiet when she spoke, which somehow made it worse."I wonder what gives you the right to talk down to people when you're barely above the janitor on the ladder here?" She tilted her head slightly, watching Daphne's face drain of color. Jack, standing just behind her, allowed himself a small smile.He was already pulling out his phone to record this."Ma'am, I—" Daphne started, but Aria held up a hand."I'm not finished." Her gaze was sharp enough to cut, and Daphne's mouth snapped shut. "You sit here and run your mouth about your boss because he's acting? Because you think it makes you clever?" Aria stepped closer, her voice soft but edged with steel. "I think you should find another job."Jack watched the fear bloom across Daphne's face with quiet satisfaction. This was the version of Aria that people should respect—the one who didn't tolerate disrespect, who understood that someone like Daphne could poison an entire workplace wi

Chapter 168 – The SetupAria stared at her phone as it rang. She recognized the number—her father. The last person she wanted to talk to right now."Answer it," Noel said.She shook her head. "It's just my dad. I don't need to.""Answer it," Noel insisted, his jaw tightening. There was something in his tone that suggested he wanted to hear whatever Franklin was about to say.Aria didn't argue. She was beyond caring what her father thought. But before she could take the call, Noel reached over and swiped the screen himself, putting it on speaker."Aria, what the hell is wrong with you?" Franklin's voice came through sharp and commanding. "Get home. Now."The tone made Noel's entire body go rigid. He'd heard that voice before—that authoritarian bark that Franklin used on everyone, as if they were all his employees, all beneath him. The fact that he'd use it on Aria, on his own daughter, made something dark flicker behind Noel's eyes."She's not coming," Noel said flatly.Franklin's voic

Chapter 170 – The Truth Comes OutAria froze the moment she saw Paige sitting in the living room.The hospital. Her father had said Paige was admitted. But there she was, perched on the sofa with the kind of confidence that only came from knowing her parents had her back."I thought you said she was hospitalized," Aria said flatly, looking between Paige and Franklin."She was discharged a few hours ago," Franklin replied, his voice taking on that coy tone he always used when he was about to make threats he wouldn't keep. "So maybe you can explain why you put her there in the first place. Why shouldn't I have you arrested?""Go ahead," Aria said simply. "I already told you to do it."She kept moving toward Paige, and with every step, her rage built. Paige watched her come and didn't flinch. That was her mistake.Aria's hand moved before she could think about it, and the slap echoed through the entire mansion. The sound was loud enough to make everyone freeze.Noel, watching from his wh
