Vanya's POV

"Well..." I deliberately kept them in suspense, "It's a secret."

Derrick's expectant expression instantly fell, grumbling discontentedly, "Boring!"

Theodore's gaze had been lingering on me. I inadvertently turned my head and met his gaze directly.

I saw a hint of a smile hidden in his deep eyes.

My heart suddenly panicked, and I quickly averted my own gaze. I could feel my heartbeat quicken, as if I had missed a beat.

I told myself internally that I must be overthinking it. Someone like Theodore, how could he possibly like a married woman like me?

At that moment, Theodore spoke up, "There's still plenty of time. I'll drive you back."

I glanced at the time and didn't answer right away. Instead, I asked, "When did you see this approval?"

"Early this morning," Derrick replied with a puzzled look, "Why?"

"You've seen it, and so has everyone else," I said as I took out my phone.

I had kept my phone o

Naturally, you wouldn't know so much," Mirabel said, her eyes flickering with avarice.I let out a soft sigh, a look of regret crossing my face as I spoke, "Aldridge, why didn't you tell me sooner? It's too late now.""What do you mean by that?" Mirabel's nerves tightened, her voice rising.Even Aldridge grew tense, asking, "Vanya, you wouldn't have...""The property was sold three hours ago," I said, watching their faces pale as I spoke, a cold smile playing in my heart."What?!" Mirabel couldn't help but scream, her voice filled with shock and anger."Actually, I bought that land out of spite when I thought you were checking my bank account records, as if I were a child who hadn't grown up. I was angry and just bought the land," I shrugged.I watched Aldridge flinch, and Mirabel's face turned gloomy.I continued, "I've always felt it was a loss. I didn't expect that the land was in a polluted area. I've been trying to sell t

    Cliff's POVI couldn't help but wonder to myself, what exactly had made me ask to stop the car?Elliot quickly pulled over, parking the car neatly by the roadside, then asked, "Alpha Cliff, are we picking up Ms. Coleman?"I fell into silence, feeling a tangle of contradictions within.At that moment, the wolf within me grew increasingly restless.Elliot seemed to sense my hesitation and cautiously asked, "Should we call Luna Vanya?"I looked up at him through the rearview mirror, and upon seeing this, Elliot immediately closed his mouth and remained silent.At the entrance of Wolfe, I saw Melinda standing with a few classmates, talking about something.Her expression seemed expectant, and then she ran towards my car with a face full of joy.Her eyes sparkled with excitement.Melinda knocked on the rear window, and Elliot rolled it down.When she saw it was Melinda, an inexplicable sense of disappointment flashed through my heart. I couldn't understand why I felt this way.The wolf wit

    Third Person's POV"Take a look, see if there's anything you like to eat," Theodore said, gently handing the exquisite menu to Vanya, his eyes holding a trace of imperceptible anticipation and concern.Vanya casually flipped through the menu, her eyes scanning the dishes listed. "I'll have everything Derrick mentioned!"Upon hearing this, Theodore pursed his lips, revealing a faint smile.He felt a sense of relief that Derrick's recommendations met her approval and a touch of pride in his comprehensive arrangements.Sitting nearby, Derrick blurted out without hesitation, "I told you, Theodore's choices are definitely spot on! Those are all your favorite dishes, Ms. Dalton!"Derrick was filled with satisfaction for his arrangements, thinking he made Vanya satisfied this time.Vanya looked at Theodore with puzzlement, wondering how he knew her preferences so well.Yet, Theodore seemed to have no intention of explaining. He just sat there. Actu

    Melinda's POVI noticed a slight frown on Cliff's brow after Mr. Stephen finished speaking.To be honest, upon hearing the news, my mood plummeted into an icy abyss.I was deeply unsettled, but I forced myself to remain composed and said, "Mr. Stephen, you must be joking, right?"In my heart, I was worried whether the increase in the value of this land would make Vanya's position in Cliff's heart even more secure, and whether my relationship with Cliff would be impacted even more.I have always regarded Vanya as my competitor, and this news was undoubtedly a bucket of cold water on me."How could I be joking? This is all serious! What? Alpha Cliff, haven't you heard the news?"Mr. Stephen looked at Cliff with a puzzled face, his eyes carrying a hint of inquiry.When I heard this news, my heart was instantly in turmoil.This was great news for the real estate industry. Such planning changes meant huge benefits and opportunities, and others

    Melinda's POVI followed the direction Vanya had left earlier.After walking for a short while, I heard the voice of some ones chatting."I have to say, you're really brilliant. How did you make this? Congratulations!" It was Derrick's voice, and I could tell that his tone was full of admiration.Then Vanya's voice followed, and she also raised her glass.The door to the room was ajar due to the serving of dishes.I approached and peeked in to see Vanya and Theodore sitting on one side, seemingly very close to each other, with Theodore taking the opportunity to hand Vanya a napkin as she raised her glass.My heart was filled with doubts. What was the relationship between Vanya, Theodore, and Derrick?How could they be dining together?And they seemed so intimate.Had Vanya already betrayed Cliff?If that was the case, this was my perfect opportunity. I must tell Cliff about this and make him completely disappointed in Vanya.

Derrick looked at Cliff with confusion, "Alpha Cliff, why are you asking us where your wife is?""Don't play dumb. Melinda just saw Vanya here. Where did she go?" Cliff's tone was filled with obvious annoyance."Melinda? Who?" Derrick looked at me.Then, as if suddenly realizing, a look of enlightenment appeared on his face, "So it's you. Why would you make up rumors about us for no reason?""I'm not making things up. I saw it with my own eyes!" I raised my voice, trying to defend myself.But inside, I felt a bit guilty. After all, my words were half true and half false.I glanced at Cliff. His eyes held a hint of doubt, but more anger.He would be more inclined to believe me at this moment. After all, his trust in Vanya was never that solid.And I could take advantage of this.

    Third Person's POVUpon being referred to as a rogue, Melinda's face turned extremely embarrassed in an instant.She was about to retort, but Cliff quickly reached out his hand to stop her.At that moment, Cliff's face was also gloomy and terrible, as if a storm was about to come.Melinda was frightened by Cliff's appearance, shivering and not daring to breathe, so she could only close her mouth."It's Melinda who made a mistake. It's just a misunderstanding. Please forgive her. I'll pay for the meal," Cliff forcibly endured his inner displeasure, trying to make his tone sound as peaceful as possible."There's no need! Our Gilbert family doesn't lack this little money," Grace coldly refused Cliff's proposal, her voice cold and piercing, without a trace of warmth.Then, she said, "I will never forget what happened today.

His tone was like a sharp blade that sliced through the tranquility of the night.His fiery demeanor made my drowsiness vanish in an instant, and I was also getting angry. I sat up from the bed.My eyes stared straight at Cliff standing by the door, and I loudly questioned, "Alpha Cliff, have you lost your mind?"Suddenly, Cliff rushed towards me like a fierce gust of wind.I was startled, and before I could recover, the next moment, I was pressed heavily onto the bed by him.The dim light from the door fell on his body, the interplay of light and shadow making the atmosphere subtly and ambiguously tense.My breath instantly halted, and my heart seemed to be grabbed by something, missing a beat.But I quickly forced m

    Vanya's POV"What did I do?" Derrick paused, clearly not following."About the principal's matter," I directly pointed out the key issue.Derrick thought for a moment and replied, "Probably Theodore did it.""Would Theodore bother with this kind of thing?" I was surprised, suddenly recalling the scene of Melinda and her two companions downstairs of my apartment that day.Upon reflection, it really could have been Theodore's doing.However, another question quickly replaced the doubt in my mind. "Are you so broke that you have to eat here?"This affordable cafeteria of Wolfe didn't seem like a place Derrick would frequent."Save where you can," Derrick responded.I inwardly scoffed, "What a joke!"Derrick kept his company's lights on all night.Who would believe him?I invited Derrick to sit and dine together, then asked, "What was Theodore's intention by involving the principal?""There's a sa

She then placed a flyer with a photoshopped image of Vanya in

Get up and come with me."Fawn forcefully pulled me away, and I dared not meet Vanya's eyes.I feared seeing through my disguise in her sharp gaze.There, Fawn tugged at me, her face full of confusion as she asked, "Melinda, why did you just kneel to her?""I, I just... I was afraid she would cause trouble for you, so I wanted to talk to her privately," I feigned an extremely aggrieved look, hoping to dispel Fawn's doubts."Melinda, you... you're not deceiving us, are you?" Her eyes still held a trace of suspicion.I felt my face freeze for a moment, but quickly recovered.I said with a sense of grievance, "Fawn, how could I possibly deceive you? Why would you suddenly ask me that?"My heart was pounding with anxiety, terrified she would see through my ruse.Fawn sai

    Vanya's POVI stood atop the high-rise of the building, quietly watching the backs of Melinda and her two companions as they gradually faded into the distance.At that moment, the security guard called me, inquiring, "Ms. Dalton, three people just arrived at the entrance, claiming to be your friends. Should I allow them in?""No, and if they come again in the future, get them away," I responded decisively."I see, Ms. Dalton."After hanging up the phone, I heard Theodore's steady voice from inside the room, "Just let them go like that?""What else can we do? Engage in a heated argument downstairs?" I shrugged.I was truly unwilling to waste my time on such boring people.I was also quite puzzled. In my previous life, I had tried every means to get close to Cliff, and at that time, Melinda did not consider me a threat.But after my rebirth, when I no longer wanted to be near Cliff, Melinda started to target me.How

    "I've already checked. She's not a resident student. No one has seen her in the girls' dormitory," Fawn said, her usual reliable gossip at hand."Not living in the dormitory means she's a day student," Raven scoffed, a disdainful curl to her lip and a look of despise in her eyes. "It must be because she can't afford our school's dorms. They cost 20 grand a year, not something every family can handle. As a call girl, she's only fit for day schooling." With that, she folded her arms across her chest and raised her chin, as if she had seen through everything.Fawn didn't chime in this time.Melinda spoke up instead, "Raven, don't talk about her like that. Everyone has their difficulties. Maybe she's also left with no choice?" Her eyes flitted around as she spoke, avoiding Raven's gaze. Her foot scraped back and forth on the ground, and her fingers twisted together. Her heart pounded like a rabbit caught in her chest, fearful that Raven would detect the cracks in he

    Vanya's POVI pulled Wilmot away.Wilmot looked reluctant, casting vicious glances back at Melinda and the others."Why are we leaving?" Wilmot asked, puzzled.I responded, "Arguing with them here is pointless, and I can't make a scene. If Veronica, Cliff's grandmother, finds out I'm attending Wolfe, I'll be in deep trouble.""What about your reputation? Are you just going to ignore it?" Wilmot questioned, concerned.I found his concern amusing and said, "Wilmot, in this school, who among those with family backgrounds doesn't know that I am Cliff's wife? Who doesn't know that I am the eldest daughter of the Dalton family? Why bother arguing with ordinary students who don't know any better?"Wilmot pondered my words and then realized it.Indeed, those people in the cafeteria, no matter how hard they worked their entire lives, might never reach our current status.Arguing with them was a waste of our time.The rumor

    Vanya's POVI headed straight for the cafeteria, looking for an empty seat.I spotted a free seat at the back and planned to take it.As I approached the three of them, I only then noticed Melinda, who was deliberately keeping her head down to eat and trying to make herself as inconspicuous as possible.At that moment, Raven abruptly stood up, blocking my way."Excuse me, do we know each other?" I tried my best to make my voice sound gentle and soft, with a faint smile on my lips.However, there was no real amusement in my heart. I knew she meant trouble."A call girl like you, of course, I don't know you, but I bet everyone else does," Raven deliberately raised her voice, loud enough for those around us to hear clearly.The incident with the school bulletin board had already been the talk of the day, and almost half the school was aware of it.I didn't get angry right away. I was curious to see what else she might say.

    Melinda's POVDuring class, my thoughts were completely captivated by the bulletin board outside the window, and my eyes kept glancing in that direction.The teacher's lecture seemed to become an annoying background noise. She called my name twice, but I was oblivious."Melinda. Can you answer that question?!" Professor's voice suddenly rose, her tone filled with impatience, which jerked me back from my reverie.I snapped back to reality, standing up in a panic. "Professor, I...""You've been absent from class lately, and when you do attend, you're daydreaming. I know you have decent grades, but you're a senior now. If you don't accumulate enough class hours, you won't graduate!" She frowned and reprimanded me sternly.I had been frequently absent from school recently, and my teacher, considering my grades were not bad, hadn't made too much of an issue about it.However, I had not only been truant often but also wrote my papers very c

    Vanya's POVThe next day, I headed to Wolfe as usual.As soon as I stepped onto the campus, I sensed that the looks of the people around me were pretty strange.Their eyes were filled with surprise, curiosity, and more so, an indescribable oddness.In the distance, a man's angry scolding could be heard, "Get away! What are you staring at?"I looked up to see Wilmot tearing something off the bulletin board.His movements were extremely rough, as if the item on the bulletin board was his enemy.I frowned, a hint of doubt rising in my heart.At that moment, he crumpled the paper in his hand viciously, his face as dark as a stormy sky, full of clouds, chilling to the bone.People around saw me approaching and quickly scattered like they were avoiding a deadly virus, retreating to a distance.Yet, they couldn't suppress their curiosity and kept stealing glances in the direction of Wilmot and me, as if trying to uncover
