Right after I finished speaking, I felt Derek's hands on my waist tighten.I continued hastily, "I want you to back me up."In the next second, he kissed my lips.It was a fierce kiss, leaving me no room to escape.All of a sudden, Alvin's voice came from outside. "Miss Sutton, Alpha Derek is in the middle of something."She was back already? How come?She hated my guts. If she saw me with Derek, she'd definitely turn the Greenwood Group upside down.I was very clear about my goal here. Daphne mustn't stand in my way and ruin my plan.A bit panicking, I pushed Derek's chest.Too bad that he seemed no intention of letting go of me, though she was about to barge in.Outside, she said impatiently, "What? Do I need permission to see my fiancé? Move!"My heart was beating so fast, and I felt butterflies in my stomach. I tried to break free from Derek's embrace with all my might.Derek was crazy!

Tabitha's POVI tried to look at Rebecca more clearly, but her back was to me, so all I could see was her thin body.She was even wearing a sun hat that covered most of her face. I meant, come on. We were indoors. Why would she need a sun hat?Soon, she finished cleaning the windows and was about to wipe the bookcase.What if she saw me?I was initially here to report on my work to Derek. If she saw me now, they wouldn't believe me no matter what I said.Distressed, I quickly picked up my phone and texted Derek.His phone buzzed on the desk, yet he didn't even raise his head. Seemed he already knew I'd text him.I bet he did this on purpose!Having no other option, I had to dial his number. Yet he simply glanced at the phone screen and then lowered his head.Shit!I was so anxious, and on the contrary, he was acting all cool as if nothing had ever happened.Even Daphne sensed something wrong. She looked at him, saying, "Der

Tabitha's POVSoon, everyone in the department knew Daphne had slapped me.Meanwhile, Derek left me in full charge of the project, and a warning was issued in all the chat groups.Those who weren't stupid sensed something off.Given that it was Alvin who had arranged for me to work here, they now suspected that instead of Alvin, Derek was the one backing me up!My colleagues in Group C were terrified the second they realized that.No one dared to compete with me for the project anymore. They were practically waiting in line to fawn me up.Emma placed the latte I had asked for respectfully on my desk with an ingratiating smile."Tabitha, here's the latte I bought for you. It's precisely how you wanted it. Easy on the sugar, no ice. Oh, and I got you an afternoon tea as well."The exquisite pastries filled my desk. Everyone else looked at her with disdain.As I glanced at her, she continued, "I was ignorant. Please forgive me. If you n

Derek's POV"I don't think it's any business competitor. After all, all the bidding projects this year are quite normal. Then... If it isn't for commercial interests, why are these cameras here?" Rolf pondered."Find out every single person who has been in my office this past year," I said."I'm on it. We can surely trace the person down.""Too late," I smiled coldly. "The cameras are here. Don't you think that person has already seen us? But..."I took out my lighter, and with a sound, a flame ignited."Someone's still here. Right?"The sky gradually darkened, and everyone in the office had already left.As I stood outside the office, I saw Tabitha. She was alone, working overtime.She stretched lazily on her seat, rubbed her stiff neck, and then turned off the lights and left.I restrained my aura and had Leo conceal his presence. Then I followed her.She walked quickly towards the elevator.I immediately followed up.

Tabitha's POVAfter I got home, I checked the trackers again. The one at the garbage disposal center was already gone, and the rest were still right where they had been.Lucian's phone was still turned off. I sighed.I was getting closer and closer to the truth, yet there was always something blocking my sight. I had no idea how to get rid of it.One good thing, though. The project went well. My plan passed the screening, and the company and I set a meeting time.I dressed up in a suit specifically. When I entered the door, I felt that my palms were perspiring.Pushing open the door, I smiled gracefully, "Hi there. I'm Tabitha Hartley, from the Greenwood Group."The good-looking young man wearing a white suit sitting smiled, too, "Hi, Tabitha. We meet again."I was stunned. "Jasper?"Only then did I realize. "The general manager of Austin Group is you actually?""Yeah." Jasper shrugged helplessly.Then I immediately asked, "Did

Tabitha's POV"Sure." I gave Jasper all of Dad's reports, and he examined them carefully.Time passed by slowly. After quite a while, he looked up at me.There was something different in his gaze."Tabitha, perhaps there's still hope for John. If Matthew's doing the surgery, chances are, John's gonna make it."I sighed, "Yeah. If Matthew is doing the surgery. Too bad that I've tried almost everything, but he's still nowhere to be found.""Don't worry. I'll help with my connections."Standing by the bed, I wiped Dad's body with a warm towel. "I don't know if Dad can wait that long.""I'm sure he can."I turned and met Jasper's eyes shimmering with an inexplicable determination.After we came out of the hospital, he was energetic and bubbly again. "Why don't you buy me some dinner? I'm starving.""Sure. What's in your mind?"I grew up wishing I had a sibling. To me, the sweet Jasper was like my little brother."There's a
Alpha's Wife Hunt Chapter 142
Tabitha's POVI smiled when I heard Derek's words. Seeing him frown, I knew my smile must have been very ironic.I broke his fingers one by one. "Alpha Derek, I've never asked you for anything. That so-called position of the Black Thorn Pack's Luna? Now that I've let go, it means nothing to me."His eyes flickered while I continued extremely calmly, "You know, in the past, I thought you were the best thing that happened to me, and nothing in this world beat the second you smiled at me. But when I walked alone with a tired body, I realized that I was wrong. In fact, everything in this world is better than you."I gently raised my hand and used my slender fingers to gently caress his face in front of me that I had once loved with all my heart."Derek, to say that I've already forgotten you completely would be a lie. I still have feelings for you, and perhaps I still will for a long time. You'll still affect my mood. But ... I'm running outta energy to think ab

Tabitha's POV"He didn't do it, but the photos indeed came from him. Everyone knows he's a lecher, and any pretty woman can lure him easily. You know what? Maybe some woman used his phone to send them to Ms. Mendoza," Emma analyzed."You're right."The last thing the mastermind behind the scenes wanted was for me to know about his or her identity.The person was certain that I'd pin it on Henry and look into him.I had to say that the person was quite scheming.But this happened to give me a direction to work on. I'd know the whole truth as long as I knew who had approached Henry.Great! I was one step closer to the truth. Instantly, I was in a much better mood. After all, it was the only good news I had heard these few days.Yet in the next second, someone I was familiar with entered Group C's office.She was dressed decently with delicate makeup. Seeing that, the receptionist greeted her nicely."Ma'am, who are you here for?"

Tabitha's POVDerek's overwhelming Alpha aura filled the entire office.Holly swallowed and said, "I did it for your sake. I know Tabitha's been pestering you. Now that you're about to get engaged to Daphne, I wanna be of help."I was just about to open my mouth when Derek beat me to it. He said, "I think you've got one thing wrong."He placed the cup in front of her and continued, "I've been the one pestering Tabitha."His words were like a slap in Holly's face.She failed to come back to her senses even after quite a while. Then she stammered, "What? How ... could it be? You... You and Tabitha have been on bad terms, right? Besides, you've already gone through the rejection ceremony. And you have kids with Daphne already. So, I figured...""Seeing isn't always believing, not to mention it's all rumors. It's your family's affairs, so I wasn't in a place to say anything, but I'd like to remind you something. Tabitha is your daughter, and Daphne is

She then pointed at Zander on the ground and said, "Save Zander first."Ambrose knew that it

Don't make a scene, or we'll be a laughing stock."Zander chimed in at the right moment, "Grandpa, since you don't seem to like me much, my mom and I won't stay here to be a nuisance. Just hope you won't regret this later. Mom, let's go."This statement was obviously a threat.Ambrose grabbed both of their hands. "Today, as long as I'm here, I won't let you leave. Dad, the whole thing started because of her. Is it rea

Third person's POVZander's words made even the eloquent Ambrose turn to look at him. "What did you say?""Dad, Derek was caught in the explosion, and there's been no sign of him since. It's highly likely that he's passed away," Zander said, delivering the harsh truth in the gentlest tone possible.Everyone present was stunned. Although Derek had been based in Seattle for years, his status and position were unquestionable.If he were dead now, wouldn't all the family fortune

Between sobs, she said, "Ambrose, I thought that once you divorced, if I raised Zander well and managed the household, your father would eventually see my sincerity. But after all these years, we're still outsiders. Let's just go. We're not welcome here."Ambrose was brimming with anger at Phoebe's instigation, even though Andrea hadn't said anything yet.As he helped Zander up, he blurted out, "Why are you leaving? If anyone should be leaving, it's them!"

She tightly clutched her stomach with one hand, trying to ease the excruciating pain.Andrea was sitting on the sidelines, planning to enjoy the spectacle, since she didn't have much fondness for Phoebe and Zander.

Tabitha's POVUpon hearing this familiar voice, I instinctively furrowed my brow.It was Zander again.I lifted my head and looked at him with annoyance. "What?"This guy was wearing a white suit today, and coupled with his handsome appearance, he appeared to be a charming gentleman in the eyes of others.But only I knew that beneath his seemingly glamorous appearance, there was a malicious he
