"Aldridge..." I was about to defend myself when the Packhouse door suddenly opened.
Cliff, dressed in a sharp suit and followed by several pack members carrying gift boxes, walked in.
"Sorry, everyone, I'm late," Cliff said calmly.
I was taken aback and whispered, "Why are you here?"
Cliff didn't answer but naturally took my hand, saying, "Picking out gifts took longer than expected, but I didn't miss much, did I?"
Mirabel, who had just claimed to see Cliff at a women's store with another woman, looked shocked at his sudden appearance.

Aldridge's expression eased as he said, "Alpha Cliff, it's great that you could make it. But these gifts are..."
"A token of introduction for everyone," Cliff explained with a smile. "I intended it as a surprise for Luna Vanya, but it seems I almost messed it up."
After speaking, he deliberately glanced at Mirabel.
Mirabel's smile froze, and her voice weakened as she said, "But I distinctly saw you shopping with a woman today. That can't be a mistake."
"That was just an employee from our company, helping to choose gifts. I thought a woman's touch might be more meticulous," Cliff responded, his gaze towards me filled with affection.
Had I not seen through his true intentions, I might have been deceived by his act.
Seeing our intimate interaction, Mirabel looked uncomfortable.
She had heard rumors of Cliff's ambiguous relationship with a college student and knew he didn't favor me, which is why she had been antagonizing me all day.
However, this was no secret to everyone.
"Alpha Cliff, you're not only promising but also dote on our Vanya. I trust you with her, and I'm sure my late brother would approve from above. Moreover, this is a family dinner. You didn't need to bring anything," Aldridge warmly invited Cliff to the table.
[$]
I whispered to Cliff, "I didn't expect you to be such a good actor."
"You, too," Cliff's voice returned to its usual coldness.
Mirabel sat at the table, restless and casting glances our way, as if looking for discrepancies in our relationship.
"Mirabel, is there something on my face that keeps you staring?" I asked pointedly, causing her embarrassment.
Mirabel quickly replied, "I was just admiring how loving you and Alpha Cliff are, quite different from the rumors."
"Rumors aren't reliable. Mirabel, why believe such nonsense?" I said, using a public fork to place a piece of roasted steak on Cliff's plate.
Cliff, who preferred light meals, accepted it naturally.
Then, Cliff placed a piece of perfectly cut grilled salmon on my plate.
Mirabel's mouth twitched as she said, "Yes... rumors aren't reliable. Today, I've seen how caring Alpha Cliff is towards Vanya."
Aldridge, observing our interaction, asked with a hint of doubt, "Vanya, when did you start liking salmon? I remember you weren't fond of it before."
Hearing this, Mirabel seemed to find something intriguing and immediately perked up.
She said to me, "Oh, I remember you never had much interest in salmon. How could Alpha Cliff not know this? Could it be that..."
"Mirabel, you're overthinking. It's just that because Cliff usually eats lightly, I've gradually tried to change my taste preferences and have come to appreciate the delicacy of salmon," I explained calmly.
Mirabel was clearly skeptical but was about to retort when Cliff interjected, "It sounds like you don't have much faith in my relationship with Vanya."
[$]
"Of course not, I'm just concerned about you newlyweds," Mirabel, facing Cliff's question, instantly lost her momentum and dared not say another word.
I sat quietly eating, knowing that although this was Dalton's family dinner, the people here were all weathercocks.
As the daughter of the former Alpha of the Thunder Pack, they wouldn't dare to disrespect me openly, but in reality, they were all secretly hoping for my downfall.
Ever since my father passed away, each of them has been coveting the position of the pack's Alpha and the Dalton family's company.
If I made the slightest mistake, the family fortune left by my father would be divided among them.
In my past life, I was in such a predicament and desperately craved Cliff's care and help.
But looking back, how foolish I was to rely on Cliff wholeheartedly when he never truly cared about me.
[$]
In my past life, he had the ability to help me out of my predicament but chose to stand by and watch.
Thinking of this, I subconsciously pulled my hand back from under Cliff's, which was resting on the back of my hand.

Cliff's POVI noticed Vanya's action, and I frowned slightly.However, this subtle movement went unnoticed by the others at the table.The family dinner finally came to an end, and Vanya and I walked out of the Thunder Pack hand in hand.But as soon as we were outside, she quickly pulled her hand away.I subconsciously looked at my empty palm, a strange discomfort welling up inside me.After a while, Vanya asked, "Why did you come?"I looked at her and countered, "Knowing that you would be wronged if you came alone, why did you still come by yourself?"Vanya paused and said softly, "I asked you."I pursed my lips and replied, "Today is Melinda's birthday. I have to go there.""Melinda's birthday?" Vanya looked surprised, "Then why did you come here?"She now seemed to accept that Melinda held a special place in my heart.But hearing Vanya's tone, I couldn't help but frown and explained, "The Dalton family's dinner concerns the relationship between the Todd and Dalton families.

Third Person's POV"Alpha Cliff, you have always been very good to Ms. Coleman.""And what about Vanya?"Elliot struggled to say, "...Not bad."Cliff pursed his lips, suddenly recalling the words Mirabel had spoken at the Dalton's dinner.It seemed everyone in Los Angeles knew he didn't like Vanya, except for himself, who was unaware of the ugly rumors spreading outside.[$]"Starting tomorrow, you no longer need to drive Melinda around."Vanya's POVA few days after Dalton's dinner, I was delighted to receive the admission letter from Wolfe.As a socialite who had never been involved in finance before, being able to enter this top-tier institution in the financial world as a graduate student was undoubtedly a bombshell in our social circle, causing quite a stir."Ding ding -" In the afternoon, my phone suddenly rang.I picked it up and saw it was a call from Aldridge."Vanya, is it true that you got into Wolfe International Finance School?"

Vanya's POVAfter Aldridge hung up the phone, I couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.Mirabel was already plotting to get her hands on the inheritance my father left me.At the slightest sign of movement, she couldn't wait to instigate Aldridge to investigate my bank account.It seemed she had long planned to seek personal gain from it.I immediately dialed the bank's private line, and the call was quickly answered, "Hello, Ms. Dalton, how may we assist you?""I want to transfer assets to another account," I stated decisively.I silently swore in my heart that I would not let Mirabel's conspiracy succeed."Alright, Ms. Dalton. We will have a specialist at your service shortly."I said coldly, "If any family members inquire about my bank assets, please ask for my permission first.""Understood, Ms. Dalton."I hung up the phone.I used some money to buy that obsidian rough, and my father's legacy had always been stored in that account, known only to Aldridge.It was unexpected that Al

Vanya's POVBefore I could compliment the place, Derrick hurriedly complained, "You see, I told you Vanya wouldn't like this style! Girls prefer everything to be filled with girlish charm, right?"I smiled and turned to Theodore, my eyes filled with sincerity. "No, I really like it. Thank you, Theodore."Theodore seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and continued, "You won't feel bored living here, will you?"I shook my head gently, my tone resolute, "Not at all. I love this kind of simple and quiet atmosphere. It's more comfortable for me."As I spoke, I surveyed the room and noticed that all the daily necessities were provided, even fragrant candles and coffee machines, which made me feel even warmer.At that moment, Theodore spoke again, his tone steady yet reassuring, "A cleaning lady will come every week to tidy up. Just focus on your studies, and don't worry about anything else.""Considering you've arranged everything so well, how should we calculate the rent?"I asked subconscio

Vanya's POVEarly in the morning, I arrived at the classroom.The number of graduate students in this school was not large, and the finance department only had one class each year.Those who could enter this class were either from wealthy families or had exceptional talents. None of them were ordinary individuals.I deliberately chose a seat in the last row.After all, as a new student, I didn't want to attract too much attention.If Veronica knew I was studying here, with her stubborn temperament, she would definitely cause a scene at the school, which would undoubtedly bring me a lot of trouble."Bang!" The classroom door was kicked open with a loud noise.A few boys sitting in the front row frowned in displeasure, about to get angry.But when they saw who it was, they all shut their mouths.I subconsciously raised my head and looked towards the door along with everyone else.There stood Wilmot, dressed in a casual sports outfit, exuding an air of laziness and casualness.Seeing him

Melinda's POVToday, when coming to the second teaching building for class, I deliberately took a few extra steps in that direction.I had put in a lot of effort in preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam and was well-acquainted with the daily schedule of the graduate students at Wolfe.I knew the graduate students would be having classes here these days."Melinda, our classroom is upstairs. Come here," Raven said, tugging at my arm and urging me to hurry.I hesitated and then said, "You guys go ahead. I'll be there in a bit.""You've been having Fawn sign you in for the past few days. What if the teacher doesn't pass you because of this?" Raven looked at me worriedly."You can trust me. I won't fail," I said with confidence in the professional knowledge I had mastered.

Cliff gestured towards my weakened body lying in the hospital bed, leaving me speechless.I explained helplessly, "I just catch colds easily during the changing seasons, and this time, it's a bit more severe.""There's no discussion about it," Cliff's attitude remained firm."Cliff!" I raised my voice, trying to change his mind."Vanya!" Cliff also raised his volume, coldly saying, "Don't you even listen to me now?"I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down, and said, "Alpha Cliff, attending Wolfe is my own decision. We are just a business marriage, in other words, a contractual marriage. I will be a dignified Mrs. Todd and Luna Vanya in front of others, but you can't interfere with me or harm my interests.""C
