Vanya's POV

I 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.

    Melinda's POVVanya's expression grew stern, and Fawn, seeing the situation, rushed over to help me up from the ground. "Melinda! What are you doing? 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

    Third Person's POVMelinda's spine stiffened instantly, and she slowly turned her head, her eyes filled with restraint and unease.She stammered, "Yes... yes.""Are you from room 317?" the principal asked.Melinda nodded, wondering why the question was being asked."Is Raven from your dormitory?""...Yes, she is," Melinda glanced at Raven not far away, a hint of barely noticeable panic flashing in her eyes.Raven was taken aback, and the principal's gaze followed suit."Are you Raven?"Raven's body tensed, nodding stiffly, her heart lifting with a sense of foreboding.The principal looked down at the complaint letter in her hand, her expression grave as she said, "We received a report that you fabricated false information and spread it within the school, severely damaging the campus atmosphere and infringing upon a female student's right to reputation." She then placed a flyer with a photoshopped image of Vanya in

    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

    Melinda's POVIt has been a long time since Cliff has remembered me. I have been hoping to have a chance to see him again.That kind of anticipation burned incessantly in the depths of my heart, like a flame."Alpha Cliff has arrived, please come down," Elliott said to me in a flat tone.I tried hard to suppress the excitement in my heart and replied, "I will come down right away."When I turned around, I happened to see Raven and Fawn looking at me.They never spoke to me again since those things happened during the day.Sure enough, as soon as they saw me at that moment, they immediately averted their gaze, as if I were a completely unfamiliar and unrelated person.But now my heart is full of anticipation for seeing Cliff, I don't care about their attitude at all, and I turn around and hurriedly go downstairs.Cliff's car was parked right outside the girls' dormitory.I dashed past like a gust of wind, wearing only a simple nightgown, which appeared quite thin."Alpha Cliff, you cam

    Vania's POVI frowned as I stared at my suddenly disconnected phone, the urgent busy tone in the receiver sounding like error notifications on the Chicago subway."What on earth has Cliff been taking lately?!" Fingertips unconsciously tapped out a jazz drumbeat on the glass coffee table."What's wrong? Did your husband look for you?"Grace "click" opened the third can of sardines, and the silver fork gleamed with a dangerous light under the lamp.At this moment, she removed her makeup, but she still remained an extremely charming mature woman.Since the day Theodore introduced me to Grace, the two of us quickly became acquainted.Although this is only our second meeting, in the past three days of Facebook private messaging, we have become gossip buddies who can talk about anything."Cliff didn't know what happened, suddenly he asked me to report my whereabouts to him in real-time starting from tomorrow," I shook my head helplessly.In my memory, the previous Cliff never cared about wh

    Vania's POVThe next morning, a sudden and urgent knocking on the door, like a sharp alarm, forcefully pulled me out of my sweet dreams.I groggily rubbed my sleepy eyes, slipped on my slippers, and unsteadily walked towards the door to open it.The deliveryman stood politely at the door, handing over a package with a smile, and said, "Miss Dalton, here is your delivery.""Mine?" I furrowed my brows slightly, my eyes filled with confusion as I looked at the security guard with a bewildered expression.The security guard, upon seeing the situation, quickly and patiently explained, "It was something sent to you by your friend.""My friend?" I was even more puzzled, confusion written all over my eyes as I pondered in my mind who it could possibly be."Who is it? It's too early in the morning to disturb my sleep," Grace was also awakened from her sleep by the knocking at the door.She lazily rubbed her eyes, yawned, and sleepily wa

    Vania's POVWith my reminder, Grace's eyes suddenly lit up, instantly revealing a look of sudden realization.Grace instantly flew into a rage, with her hands on her hips, "You wait, I will go find him and settle the score!"I couldn't stop Grace at all. She was wearing pajamas, dragging her slippers, and rushed out in a hurry.I was about to chase after her, but I saw her directly knocking on the door of the next room."Derek! Come out! Derek!" Grace shouted at the top of her lungs, her voice incredibly loud.Derek scratched his messy hair, sleepily opened the door, furrowed his brow, and impatiently asked, "Who is making noise at the door so early in the morning? Don't you let people sleep!"Derek opened the door and, upon seeing Grace, he immediately froze, his eyes widened, his mouth slightly agape, and his face filled with astonishment.He seemed to think that he had seen it wrong, so he closed the door again, opened it ca

    Vania's POVI looked around, but I didn't see Theodore's figure.Perhaps Theodore chose to give up after seeing the message I sent.It would have been better to give up, as it would have saved a lot of trouble.At that moment, the corner of my eye caught sight of a familiar figure outside the gate.Melinda was wearing a white evening gown, and by her side, with a flattering expression on his face, was Hunter, the manager of the Todd family enterprise.The hunter said to Melinda, "Miss Coleman, today Mr. Alpha Cliff couldn't come due to some matters, so let me show you around and familiarize you with the environment here. This Alpha Cliff property is highly regarded and valuable in the industry, and it's a great opportunity for you to learn and make new connections."Melinda nodded.This luxury hotel in New York is not the kind that goes to the extreme in terms of luxury style, and the decoration is relatively low-key.Me

    Third Person's POVCliff immediately pushed open the bathroom door. The room was filled with steam and a faint, sweet scent.The smell was oddly familiar to Cliff, as if he had encountered it before.But Melinda didn't give Cliff time to think. She threw herself into his arms. Feeling the smooth skin and the warm touch, Cliff shuddered and tried to push Melinda away.However, Melinda wrapped her arms around his neck. Her face was flushed with a hint of red. Her eyes were filled with desire."Alpha Cliff... I really can't live without you. Don't you like me?" Melinda's voice was unusually soft and seductive.Cliff felt an unfamiliar sensation rising within him. Just a gentle touch was enough to ignite the desire he had been suppressing."Cliff, look at me. You used to care for me the most," Melinda said, standing on her tiptoes and placing a kiss on the edge of Cliff's lips.She then teasingly ran her tongue along his lips, a mo

    Third Person's POVCalvert noticed Vanya's hesitation and said, "Don't worry, I checked. There are no cameras around here."Vanya frowned and asked, "Don't you have to go for a photoshoot?""I've finished for today, but I'll probably be around for the next few days. I still have some ads to shoot," Calvert replied."Then go ahead and get busy. I'll do the same," Vanya said, preparing to leave.But Calvert stopped her, placing the takeout bento in her hand. "It's from my grandma.""Mine?" Vanya asked, surprised.Calvert added, "She made it specially for you."Ever since Vanya had visited Calvert's home last time, his grandmother had taken a liking to her.Vanya accepted it with a bit of embarrassment. After all, it was Grandma Sutton's kind gesture."Tell her thank you for me," Vanya said, patting Calvert's shoulder as she left."Keep up the good work! Your future is bright."Calvert watched Vanya's r

    Vanya's POVGrace noticed my thoughtful expression and asked, "Did Cliff suspect you when you went back to the Silver Moon Packhouse today?""He did suspect me, but... it wasn't quite what I expected," I replied."What do you mean 'not quite what you expected'? Isn't suspicion just suspicion?" Grace hugged a pillow, her curiosity piqued as she waited for me to explain.I said, "He gave me a ring today and said... he likes me."After I finished, Grace was stunned. "Cliff?""Yes," I confirmed."This feels like something my silly brother Theo would do," Grace said, looking puzzled.I rested my chin on my hand and thought carefully before saying, "Cliff probably likes Melinda. He's saying this because of M Group. Right now, the Todd Group can't afford any more scandals. He wants to keep me stable. As long as we don't divorce or cause trouble during this period, he can avoid a lot of headaches."I repeated to myself, as if tr

    Vanya's POV"Enough! Cliff, bickering with a woman like this isn't like you. What do you really want by calling me back? Don't tell me it's because you're jealous that I was at Wilmot's birthday. I won't believe such a ridiculous thing coming out of your mouth," I said.Cliff opened his mouth but couldn't find any words."About Melinda, I was wrong about you," Cliff suddenly said.I thought I had misheard."Are you... apologizing to me?"Cliff's expression froze.I looked at him and asked again, "You didn't call me back just to apologize, did you?"Cliff was silent."I knew it was for the apology," I couldn't help but say."Vanya, you..." Cliff's face turned a bit sour.He was used to being in control and having others submit to him. Admitting he was wrong was a big step for him.Cliff tried to stay calm and said, "I was wrong about this. I shouldn't have accused you. But Melinda didn't deserve to go

    Vanya's POV"Sorry, Mr. Hammond, but Alpha Cliff sent me to bring Luna Vanya home," Elliot said, looking at me. "Luna Vanya, Alpha Cliff is very concerned about you. Please come back with us.""What if I don't want to go back?" I asked.Elliot paused for a moment, then said, "Then I'm afraid we'll have to insist."The bodyguards behind Elliot immediately stepped forward. Wilmot tightly shielded me, saying, "Don't worry, I'm here!"I wasn't actually scared. I knew that even if Elliot couldn't take me away, he wouldn't dare cause a scene at the Hammond residence.However, the fact that the Todd family could so easily enter the Hammond residence was quite surprising.It seemed that Cliff's position as the top businessman in Los Angeles was well-deserved.If things really escalated, no one would come out unscathed."Wait." I gently patted Wilmot's back and stepped in front of him. "Today is Wilmot's birthday party. Bringing

    Vanya's POVGrace, holding the skirt of her Lolita dress, ran over and said, "Wilmot's been looking for you everywhere. He's frantic. You should change out of that costume quickly. We'll head back soon!""Alright," I replied, thinking to myself that Cliff would probably send Elliot to find me any minute now.I glanced at Theodore one last time before following Grace back to the dressing room.After quickly changing and removing my makeup, I followed Grace out of the dressing room, only to bump into Wilmot, who had come to find me."What are you two doing here?" Wilmot frowned. "I couldn't find you after we entered. Where did you go?""I suddenly needed to use the restroom," I said, using the first excuse that came to mind.Hearing this, Wilmot's face seemed to flush slightly.He turned his head and said, "Let's go. There's nothing fun here anymore.""Good! Let's get out of here. I don't think there's anything fun here ei

    Third Person's POV"Unsure?" Vanya turned around in surprise at Theodore's words and said, "If he doesn't come today, then all my efforts would be in vain.""Whether he comes or not doesn't matter. As long as he knows that the M Group's masked ball is packed with guests, that's enough," Theodore replied.Vanya sensed a hint of jealousy in his tone."That's true...""But you just want to annoy him, don't you?"Vanya couldn't deny it, but she wasn't that naive."If he comes and sees that Kendrick doesn't look anything like me, he won't suspect me anymore," she said.To create the Kendrick persona, she had put in a lot of effort. This time, she planned to wear flats, don a clown outfit, and appear in front of Cliff, making him completely drop his suspicions about her."Vanya? Vanya? Are you ready?" Grace's voice called from outside the door.Vanya, now dressed as a clown, opened the door to see Grace in a Lolita outf

    Vanya's POVIn the afternoon, the Hammond family's lobby was decorated exceptionally lively.Wilmot usually surrounded himself with friends who were more like troublemakers, rarely hosting a proper birthday party.Tonight, many rich second-generation heirs and socialites had shown up, but Wilmot was completely uninterested in them.These people had simply heard that the second son of the Hammond family was celebrating his birthday and had brought gifts to get close. In reality, Wilmot couldn't even remember most of their names.I sat to one side, occasionally glancing at the clock.The masked ball had already started, and I was racking my brain for a good excuse to take Wilmot away.Just then, Edwin's personal bodyguard approached us."Alpha Edwin says there's a masked ball tonight.

    Vanya's POV"Vanya!" From a distance, Wilmot, dressed in workout clothes, ran over. He must have just finished his morning exercise.His bright red hair was particularly eye-catching, and I spotted him from far away."Up so early. Have you had breakfast yet?" he asked."Not yet," I replied, pointing to the people going in and out of the second-floor study. "Is it always like this at your place every morning?""Not usually. Things have just been busier lately," Wilmot said, taking my hand. "Come on, let's go eat.""Grace hasn't woken up yet. I should wake her up," I said."No need. Grace loves to sleep in. I'll have them make it when she gets up." Wilmot insisted.I was about to agree when he added, "Besides, Edwin should be eating too. His private chef is really good.""N-no, that's okay," I tried to decline, but Wilmot said, "What's there to be afraid of? We're all family here!"I reluctantly followed Wilmot to t
