Semua Bab Alpha's Regret, His Rejected Luna is Hidden Heiress: Bab 41 - Bab 50

Ceres's POV“Girls should not drink beer. Let me treat you. Miss, are you alone?”The man came closer, reeking of cheap perfume and overconfidence. I turned my uninterested gaze toward him and noticed him looking at me as though he were a predator sizing up his prey.“A beer is no drink for a beauty like you,” he sneered. Glancing up at the bartender, he snapped his fingers. “Get her something very top shelf. It’s on me.”“There would be no need,” I said coldly. “I am suddenly not in the mood to drink anymore.”I began to rise to my feet, hoping to go meet Jasmine, when the man grabbed me by the wrist. I glanced down at his hand with disdain.“You don't know me, but I know you,” he sneered, his grip on my arm tightening. “You're Alpha Richard's wife, aren't you? Acting all high and mighty, but you're just old news. You'll drink this, or you’re not leaving!”My wolf bristled angrily within me, and I felt rage surge through my entire being. Feeling utterly irritated, I jerked my arm fre

Ceres's POVHenry's face turned pale with fear.“Richard, there must be a misunderstanding about this matter. How could he meet Ms. Ceres by such a coincidence? You can't be fooled by a bitch."I couldn’t help but snort lightly. Stepping forward, my sharp features caught the flickering light as I looked Henry up and down.“Bitch? Did you think I lured him here on purpose?” I asked in a mocking tone, though my voice carried deadly seriousness.I gestured toward the bar’s corner, where a surveillance camera glimmered faintly. “It wasn’t a misunderstanding when he targeted me with a few strong men. Moreover, this should not be his first time. The bar’s surveillance cameras wouldn’t happen to be ineffective, would they?”The bar manager froze under my piercing gaze, a cold sweat breaking out on his brow. “Ms. Ceres… I…” he stammered, not knowing how to answer as he glanced nervously at Henry.Richard’s towering figure stepped closer, his aura dark and imposing. He adjusted the collar of h

Ceres's POVThe officer continued, unfazed by Henry's anger. “According to the testimony we’ve received, Mr. Norlan is accused of drugging Ms. Ceres’s drink. We will need to conduct further testing before considering bail. Until then, Mr. Norlan will remain in custody.”Henry roared in frustration, and his hands clenched into fists. “This is ridiculous! It was just a fight!”The officer shook his head. “If it were only about a fight, this could have been handled differently. However, the surveillance footage shows Mr. Norlan attempting to force Ms. Ceres to drink a drugged wine. That escalates the charges to something far more serious.”Henry's expression grew colder, making him look a whole lot more hostile. His sharp gaze fixated on me, his lip curling slightly."You've really done it this time, Ceres," he growled, his voice low but menacing. "Have you even thought about the consequences?"I tilted my head, my wolf calm and unyielding. A faint smile played on my lips. "A clean consc

Ceres's POVFinally, I decided against telling Luna Sonia anything about Lucky's true identity and left the elevator. It wasn't the right time yet. Henry and Lawrence were my focus now.Once outside, my phone buzzed.I answered the call and heard Jasmine’s familiar, frantic voice.“Ceres, that bastard Henry pulled strings. He’s claiming illness to keep Lawrence from being interrogated. My lawyer says we might not be able to stop the bail.”I paused mid-step, a low growl rumbling in my chest. Then I chuckled softly.“This isn’t the time to laugh, Ceres!” Jasmine snapped.“They’re panicking,” I said calmly, with confidence. “Lawrence is guilty as sin, and they know it. Henry wouldn’t act so desperately if they weren’t afraid of what we’d uncover. He’s done this before—bullied young women who couldn’t fight back. They’re scrambling because they know it’s over.”Jasmine paused and snorted. “What a disgrace of a family! Lawrence needs to learn his place this time!”“Don’t worry. Leave it t

Ceres's POVMy wolf stirred with satisfaction. From the moment Samantha had approached me, I had been wary. Given her relationship with Luna Sonia, I knew she would not be a kind person. I knew better than to let my guard down.I took the recording from David and tossed it onto Samantha’s bed with a smirk, watching her face pale.Responding to her earlier question, I simply said, “No,” my voice like a dagger.Then I turned on my heel and left the room confidently, David at my side.Consumed with rage, Samantha growled behind me, obviously speaking to her son, “How dare she! That little girl—who was treated like a mere servant by Sonia—dares to outmaneuver me!”“Mom,” Henry said slowly, his tone a mix of confusion and disbelief. “Were you… trying to blackmail her just now?”Henry continued in an exhausted tone, “I’ve done my best for Lawrence. Letting him face the consequences might teach him a lesson. It’s not a bad thing. There’s no need to push harder.”My sharp ears picked up his m
