Third Person's POV

Upon 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. Show them out!"

As soon as her voice fell, several burly bodyguards came forward and asked Cliff and Melinda to leave the roo

    Vanya's POVI furrowed my brows, my eyes still shut, and grumbled with impatience, "In the middle of the night, why are you bothering me while I'm sleeping?""Get up."Cliff's voice was filled with uncontrollable anger. 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 POVCliff probably didn't expect that I would really cook. I saw his hand holding the coffee cup pause, and his gaze couldn't help but be cast towards me.I was busy, but my heart was in all kinds of moods.As the daughter of an Alpha, I have been served meticulously by Omegas and servants since I was a child, and I never needed to set foot in the kitchen.After marrying Cliff in my previous life, I believed Veronica's words, thinking that to capture a man's heart, I had to first capture his stomach. So, I, who had never touched the edge of the kitchen, started to try cooking in various ways.But what was the result?Cliff never tasted the food I made, and his heart was always with Melinda. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't enter his world.After breakfast was ready, I saw Cliff frown when he saw there was no portion for him and asked, "Where's mine?""If you want to eat, make it yourself," I said in a bad tone.The resentmen

    Third Person's POVVanya knew she was in the wrong and had no choice but to comply with Cliff's arrangements."Fine," she thought. It wasn't her money being spent anyway, so she might as well enjoy the spree as a form of entertainment. Vanya didn't catch the faint, involuntary lift at the corner of Cliff's mouth, that fleeting trace of a smile gone as quickly as it appeared.Upon arriving at the mall, Vanya surveyed the layout around her. She was planning to build a large commercial district and thus. It was extremely necessary to observe and do some research carefully. Her eyes held a hint of scrutiny and contemplation as she earnestly examined the display and layout of each store.Suddenly, Vanya felt her hand being tugged. She pulled her hand back and looked warily at Cliff, who had just returned from buying coffee, and asked, "What are you doing?""Holding hands, for photos," Cliff replied, casting a glance towards someone with a camera who looked like a

    Vanya's POVI did my best to suppress the tidal wave of complaints within me, forcing them back down into my stomach.Cliff seemed to care little for my feelings and, instead, abruptly stepped on the gas.His tone was icy as he said, "After we get home, transfer the money you spent today to me."Hearing this, I was displeased."You're making me come out, and yet you want me to pay my own way?" I stared at him, my eyes wide with disbelief."It's just for show," he responded with a blank expression, as if to say that it was the most natural thing in the world."As a husband, what's wrong with spending a little money on his wife?" I couldn't help but raise my voice, eager to argue with him."You said it yourself that we're a contractual couple," his words left me speechless.I was filled with frustration, having hoped to gain some advantage from him. It seemed I was being too naive.Cliff, a thorough businessman, wou

    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

    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 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.

    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

    Cliff's POVThe next day, as the first hint of dawn began to lighten the sky, the faint morning light filtered through the windows and spilled into the living room.I leaned against the sofa, having not slept a wink all night, feeling waves of exhaustion wash over me.After last night's chaos, my nerves were still taut. My mind was a jumbled mess of conflicting thoughts.At that moment, I saw Vanya coming downstairs, carrying some toiletries, apparently planning to head back to her apartment early in the morning.The moment I saw her, my nerves tightened like a bowstring about to snap, and I tensed up instantly.I quickly stood up and took a few steps forward to block her path. My tone softened involuntarily, tinged with caution, "Where are you going?""Back to my apartment," Vanya replied coldly, her eyes distant and resolute, as if I were a complete stranger.Her voice was soft, but it struck my heart like a heavy hammer.Instinctively, I reached out and grabbed her wrist, wanting t

    Vanya's POVI knew that only by leaving with Cliff could the two packs remain unscathed, and I could secure their future protection.At this thought, a chill ran down my spine, and a deep sense of unease washed over me.Edwin's mind was incredibly meticulous. Every move seemed meticulously planned, which was truly terrifying.He was like a wolf lurking in the shadows, always ready to strike with a fatal blow, catching everyone off guard.After a moment of silence, I said, "Thank you, Mr. Hammond. It's getting late, and I'll leave with Alpha Cliff now. I apologize for any rudeness today and will come to make amends another day."Edwin lowered his eyelids. After a while, he raised a hand in a gesture.The bodyguards stepped aside, and Cliff's grip on my arm tightened even more as he turned to leave.I keenly noticed that outside the Hammond family's door, Cliff had also brought his own people.If I had chosen to stay just now, Cliff's men might have stormed the hall without hesitation.

    Vanya's POVMy heart skipped a beat. I hadn't detected any amusement in Edwin's eyes.My initial approach to Wilmot was always driven by his status and future prospects.Such a motive couldn't even be hidden from Wilmot, let alone Edwin.I recalled how Edwin had dealt with that flamboyant woman just now—right in front of me. It was clearly a warning.My heartbeat quickened involuntarily, but I maintained a calm facade and said, "Just classmates, not particularly close."Edwin let out a soft chuckle and said, "The wind up here is rather strong. Miss Dalton, it's better if you don't come up. Wilmot is downstairs. You two can have a chat."I couldn't fathom Edwin's intentions, but one thing was clear—he didn't want me near this terrace.Naturally, I wouldn't oppose him. After a polite nod, I headed downstairs.When I reached the bottom, I saw Wilmot drinking alone at the stairway entrance.Upon seeing me

    Cliff's POVIn the hospital corridor, Elliot hurried back to the ward after receiving a phone call.He said to me, "Alpha Cliff, there seems to be some trouble at the Hammond family's event."I made a shushing gesture and glanced at Melinda, who was still unconscious in the hospital bed.I whispered to Elliot, "Let's talk outside.""……Yes, Alpha Cliff," Elliot hesitated but went out to wait first.After I closed the ward door, I said, "Go ahead.""It's about Luna..."Before he could finish, I frowned and asked, "What trouble has she caused now?""It seems two of Miss Coleman's classmates were slandering Luna Vanya, calling her a call girl and saying some very unpleasant things. They were kicked out by Mr. Hammond.""Slandering Vanya as a call girl?" I furrowed my brows even more. "Would she just stand there and let herself be slandered?""Luna Vanya didn't say a word the whole time. It was Gra

    Third Person's POVRaven was frightened by Wilmot. She retreated two steps, shrinking behind her father, Tristan Schmidt.Tristan had never seen his daughter so wronged, especially right in front of him.He immediately said, "Mr. Hammond! Raven is a girl. You should let her have the last word. How could you..."Tristan's words were cut short as Wilmot found it amusing. "Excuse me?"Everyone around them wore expressions of anticipation, as if watching a drama unfold.Who was Wilmot?From a young age, only Edwin had been able to keep him in check. No outsider had ever dared to lecture him condescendingly.Tristan's face fell as he said, "Even so, I am your elder!""Who do you think you are?"Wilmot gave Tristan no respect.In this circle, respect was only given to those who were more powerful.These were just obscure small-business owners, making a few hundred thousand a month.

    Third Person's POVCliff completely ignored Vanya beside him and strode forward, swiftly picking up Melinda and holding her in his arms.He shouted, "Elliot! Go get the doctor! Hurry up!""Yes, Alpha Cliff!" Elliot glanced deeply at Melinda in Cliff's arms before rushing off.Vanya couldn't help but sneer at the sight.Melinda's fainting seemed too convenient—too perfectly timed.Anyone with even a basic understanding of the situation, including Elliot, could sense something was amiss. Only Cliff, in his concern for Melinda, failed to notice.Wilmot watched the scene with a burning heart and said to Vanya, "He just left you behind like that?""Isn't that normal?" Vanya replied, though she was genuinely surprised by Melinda's move.Raven's gaze towards Vanya grew more hostile as she watched Melinda being carried away.Vanya noticed Raven's look and raised an eyebrow.It seemed Raven and Fawn believed t

    Third Person's POVCliff saw Vanya the moment she walked in.He also noticed Theodore, who was following behind her. That sight seemed to sting his eyes.Wilmot had been waiting inside for quite some time. Upon seeing Vanya, his eyes lit up instantly.He dropped the glass of red wine in his hand and strode quickly towards her."Why so late?"Wilmot's tone conveyed dissatisfaction, but more so, it was filled with delight.Vanya said, "Let me introduce you. This is my friend, Grace."Wilmot's expression changed slightly upon seeing Grace.Grace, however, seemed quite intrigued and said, "Wilmot? You've grown up. We've met when you were still a kid."With that, Grace reached out to tug at Wilmot's ear, but he quickly blocked her hand, exclaiming, "I'm grown up now! I'm not a kid anymore!"Vanya hadn't expected that they knew each other.Grace then explained to Vanya, "When we were kids, the Hammond fami

    Melinda's POVI deliberately lowered my voice, pretending to be at a loss.At the mere mention of Vanya, Cliff's brows furrowed. Although he didn't say anything, I could sense his impatience."Do you not want to come?" he asked."Of course not!" My cheeks flushed as I explained, "I'm just worried that people will make wild guesses about our relationship again."Cliff didn't respond to me.Soon, Cliff and I arrived at the gala venue. There weren't many people inside. Cliff greeted the people one by one.Before long, the main doors were pushed open again.Two couples walked in, followed by Fawn and Raven, who were holding hands.They came too!In an instant, my heart dropped into the abyss. How could they be at such an important occasion?Cliff noticed the change in my expression and frowned, asking, "Melinda, are you feeling unwell? Shall I have Elliot take you home first?""I..." I was about to speak

Now you're just trying to show off that your rich boyfriend bought you a house, right?"Raven's voice was just loud enough to reach the ears of those around them. The surrounding people cast odd glances their way.Raven had previously been accused of spreading rumors by the dean and had endured quite a few disdainful looks during that time.She had no patience for Melinda now.Melinda hadn't expected Raven's reaction to be so intense, nor had she anticipated that Raven would directly expose her vanity.Her face turned pale instantly. "Raven, let's talk this through. I didn't mean it like that..."Raven scoffed, "Who wants to talk this through with you?""Raven, I know I was wrong. This time, I genuinely want to apologize to you... can you just forgive me?" Tears rolled down
