Olivia's POVWhen I looked up, I saw Marsh staring at me and Zander, which annoyed me.As a cheater, he was in no position to look at me like that!I then turned my head and continued talking to Zander, exchanging a smile with him.Suddenly, I heard Marsh let out a cold huff, followed by Beta Jeffrey saying something, which I didn't catch. But Marsh's tone made me even more vexed.I believed that they were here for nothing but the final painting.I didn't expect the final painting at tonight's auction to be so impressive. It was an oil painting by a famous American artist, with a starting price of over 500,000 dollars. As soon as the auctioneer finished the introduction, Zander bid 600,000 dollars. It seemed that he was determined to snag it.But he wasn't the only one gunning for that painting. Marsh wanted it, too. I watched as Marsh and Zander silently raised their paddles back and forth until the price shot up to 1.15 million dollars.It was Marsh's offer, and just as I thought Za
Olivia's POV"It's been months since we last met, and you seem to have forgotten the excellent qualities of the Dawn Pack. From the moment I entered until now, you haven't even offered me a cup of coffee."Upon hearing that, I burst into laughter. "It's my office, not a café. If you want a coffee, just go downstairs, turn left, and walk about 200 meters. There's a café there where you can get what you want.""Olivia! You're so disrespectful and reckless, shaming the Dawn Pack everywhere you go. I'm gonna—""Did you forget that the one who's with Marsh now is Emily, Alpha Justin?" I said with a slight smirk, but there wasn't much amusement in my heart. "This is where I work. If you've got nothing important to say, please leave. If you do, please get straight to the point."I paused for a bit before adding, "I don't have much patience, so you'd better finish it before it runs out."My intention to drive him out couldn't be clearer.Alpha Justin's face immediately darkened. "Since you wa
Olivia's POVI didn't expect to run into Hailey while I was dining out, and it happened just when I was briefing Hannah about how I managed to make Justin storm off today. What rotten luck!Seeing Hailey, I was taken aback, but I quickly adjusted myself and asked, "Anything you want from me?"I knew she never liked me. Back when I was in the Dawn Pack, I wasn't submissive all the time, but I didn't dare to disrespect Justin.But now that I left, I didn't need to show any respect to him anymore. So when I was talking to Hannah about him, I referred to him as "that wretched old man."Hailey, hearing how I addressed her grandpa, shook with rage. "You better apologize, Olivia!"Hannah clicked her tongue and scoffed, "Are you kidding?"I glanced at Hannah and gestured for her to hold her tongue before turning to Hailey. "Apologize for what?""You just insulted my grandfather, calling him a wretched old man!" Hearing her words, I raised an eyebrow a
Keith's POVEven the cute girl herself, after saying that, couldn't help but smile. Waving at me, she left with her bag in her hand.Her smile kinda dazzled me for a sec, and I quickly called out, "My name's Keith."I could tell the "no" between her lines.I did belong to the Blackthorn Pack, yet given the fact that I didn't have a wolf, I rarely stayed in the pack.I knew werewolves were gonna seek their mates sooner or later.However, I didn't think a werewolf without a wolf like me, would actually find one.Thus, I would never let my chance fly away the first time I fell in love.After I got her number, I returned to my booth and looked down at the number on my phone. The girl next to me wanted to start a conversation, but seeing that I was not interested, she had no choice but to give up.It seemed that I came here to look for a potential date, but in fact, I was only here because the boys wanted me to make up the numbers.I star
Olivia's POV It seemed Zander really just came over for coffee. After finishing it, he excused himself and left. I leaned back on the couch, watching him close the door behind him, raising an eyebrow. After a while, I pulled my gaze away and headed back to my room. Though Zander was a playboy, he was quite a gentleman. After taking a shower, I replied to Hannah's message and then went to sleep. The next morning, I woke up before my alarm even went off. It was pitch dark in the room. Through the curtains, I noticed that it was still dark outside. I grabbed my phone to check the time: 7:15 AM. Still early. But since I went to bed early last night and had a good sleep, I felt quite fresh right now. So, I got out of bed, planning to whip up a nice breakfast for myself. I gotta say, it was all thanks to Marsh that I could go from someone who couldn't boil water to being skilled at cooking. If it weren't for him, fried eggs and toasted bread would probably be the best I could make.
Olivia's POV At six in the evening, just as it was time to go off work, Wendy knocked on my door and reminded me, "Ms. Johnson, the business dinner is scheduled for half past six." Hearing her words, I glanced at her and gently rubbed my temples, replying, "Got it." Even without a traffic jam, it would take us twenty minutes to get to the hotel. So I gotta get going now. Then I shut down my computer, grabbed my bag from the side, and headed straight out of the office. Wendy had been waiting at the door. Seeing me, she asked, "Ms. Johnson, need a driver?" I shook my head. "No. I'll drive." If I had to drink alcohol later, I would just hire a designated driver. Wendy replied, "Alright then, Ms. Johnson." After getting down to the parking lot on level B1, I noticed Wendy still following me. So I hesitated for a moment and then said to her, "You should take your own car." This way, she could drive home herself after dinner. Wendy looked surprised but quickly got it and nodded be
Olivia's POV I turned my gaze to Jonas, smiling as I said, "Jonas, please don't get me wrong. How could I possibly threaten you? Since the folks in your town aren't ready to leave, we naturally won't force them." The tables had turned. Now, it would be them who wanted the demolition to be carried out, not us. "Nonsense! I'm not gonna listen to your bullshit! I wanna see Mr. Bell. Where is he? Get him over here!" Jonas shouted. His forehead veins bulged as he spoke, his eyes ablaze with anger as if he would walk up and beat me at any moment. But I showed no fear. Meeting his glare, I said word by word, "Mr. Bell has fully entrusted this matter to me." Then I paused for effect before adding, "Plus, I'm doing exactly what Mr. Bell instructed." Morgan wanted to make things difficult for me, but I wasn't a pushover. Now, I was gonna give him tit for tat. "You bitch! What nonsense are you talking about? Mr. Bell promised me yesterday that if I—" Before Jonas could finish his words
Olivia's POV Emily, who spotted me too, glanced over at Marsh, asking, "Is that Olivia?" Marsh didn't answer, his eyes filled with coldness. I quickly looked away, pretending I hadn't seen them and walking right past them. Just then, I noticed Zander didn't keep up. So I turned my head to look for him, only to find him darting an icy glance at Marsh. Then he quickly caught up with me. Just as I took a few steps, I heard Emily mumbling, "Marsh, do you know Lily has come around?" "You should have called me Alpha Marsh," came his stern reply. I subconsciously glanced back. Then I saw Emily's face turned pale, and she froze for a bit. How strange. Wasn't Emily about to become the new Luna of the Dawn Pack? Why would Marsh treat her like that? Not wanting to dwell on it, I strode out of the restaurant. "Ms. Johnson, I have called for the driving service. The driver should be here in about ten minutes," said Wendy. I simply gave a nod. The February night wind was as biting as a
Olivia's POVLandon's visit was nothing more than a small episode to me.I didn't take his words from Alpha Justin seriously.After all, I was Alpha Marsh's mate for three years. I could guess some of Alpha Justin's thoughts.Compared to that, I cared more about the bidding plan for the land we were bidding on tomorrow.I rejected the plan proposed in the meeting just now. Morgan didn't dare to oppose me as he used to.I was the daughter of the Alpha of the Red Moon Pack. The entire Wonder Group was affiliated with the Red Moon Pack. Alpha Hunter had only me as a daughter.That is to say, I am the future helmsman of Wonder Group.Who dared to ignore my words now?The plan was sent back, and the relevant departments immediately started working on it.I was flipping through some documents. I was originally planning to have lunch after reviewing the remade bidding plan.However, what came faster than the biddi
Alpha Marsh's POVI had just finished the meeting when I saw Jeffrey standing at the door, looking at me cautiously.I gave him a cold look and said, "Go ahead, what's the matter?""Mr. White just called me. Alpha Justin wants you to return to the Dawn Pack immediately."I glanced at Jeffrey, "I see."With that, I stepped over and entered the elevator.I had a pretty good idea why Alpha Justin wanted to see me.I had anticipated part of it, but not the other."So you're saying you want me to mark Olivia again and let her continue to be the Luna of the Dawn Pack?" I asked in surprise.Alpha Justin glared at me, "Why? Do you really want that Lily to become the Luna of our Dawn Pack? She doesn't even have the bloodline of a Beta."I naturally had no intention of mating Lily. But I thought it was absolutely impossible to mate with Olivia again."Let's not discuss the new Luna for now. What you said about me re-
Landon's POVSoon, Wendy led me upstairs."Ms. Johnson," I said.I have been Alpha Justin's Beta for over twenty years, so I couldn't help but carry a bit of his condescending pride in my voice.Olivia let out a light hum. "Landon, the honor is all mine with your visit."Alpha Justin used to look down on Olivia. That somewhat influenced me.Even though Olivia's status has changed. She's no longer the person she was before, but we were used to belittling her.So, my attitude towards her now wasn't much better.Olivia used to treat me with great respect. It was the first time she's spoken to me in such a manner.A wave of dissatisfaction welled up in my heart. But thinking of Alpha Justin's instructions, I suppressed myself. "Ms. Johnson, Alpha Justin needs you now. Go with me."Olivia looked at me. The smile on her face faded instantly. "Landon, you certainly have a way with words. You're in my company now and you
Olivia's POVMy words made Emily's face stiffen for a moment.But she recovered quickly.After a slight intake of breath, she spoke again, "Alright, maybe I've misunderstood you."She continued, "Let's talk about the apology. Could you please let us off the hook this time? Lily is very unstable right now. You might not know that she became a vegetative state to save Alpha Marsh, lying in a hospital bed for nearly five years. Before she went into surgery, Alpha Marsh personally promised her that he would mate her. But now that she's back and lucid, she found out you were once Alpha Marsh's mate, which made her think wrongly and lie about you."Emily's expression changed slightly as she went on, "Besides, why Alpha Marsh made you his mate back then, I think you know very well. The past is the past. Now, you and Alpha Marsh have separated. You don't need to be stuck in the past. Lily did wrong, but the doctor said she has depression. Please understand
Olivia's POV"Lily's got her heart set on joining the Dawn Pack. Alpha Justin is so angry that he's in the hospital now. I doubt even if she groveled, she couldn't get into the Dawn Pack!"I gave Hannah a faint smile and said, "Don't be so sure about that."People like Alpha Justin, who's all about the bottom line, might just let Lily in one day.But what does it have to do with me?Nothing. Really.I pushed my chair back, got up, and headed to my room as Hannah called after me, "Hey, Olivia. What's up?""Get changed. I'm heading to work."I'd taken a day off yesterday, missing out on hundreds of thousands of dollars.Hannah, the lady of leisure, found my words boring.She, with all her free time, couldn't grasp the joy of working.I came out dressed and saw Hannah still there, tsking, "Why are you still here?""Your guest room bed is super comfy. I'm catching some Zs before I go. Alpha Zander woke m
Olivia's POVAfter posting on Twitter last night, I went to sleep. I knew full well that the internet would be in chaos when I woke up this morning.When I woke up today, I felt much better.I glanced at my phone and saw two missed calls, one from Blanche and one from Wendy.My WhatsApp was also filled with unread messages, mostly about the posts.Blanche initially sent text messages. But about an hour later, after probably seeing my new Twitter, she sent several voice messages, then.I couldn't help but smile helplessly. Last night, I was provoked by Alpha Marsh and, coinciding with a cold, my reaction was a bit slow. I didn't think it through and posted on Twitter.Hunter and Blanche are aware of the situation now.Last time when we went to the Dawn Pack, they were still polite. But only a few days later, Lily showed up to falsely accuse me.Hunter was furious when he heard about it and immediately asked his assistant
Alpha Marsh's POVI didn't expect Lily to make such a request. I couldn't help but frown.It was Lily who pushed me away, saving me from the car accident.But I never considered making her my mate.I never said that what she did was unnecessary. As an Alpha, my wolf would have me dodge the danger at the speed of light.Saying that would make me seem heartless.Perhaps seeing my continued silence, Lily couldn't help but speak up, "Alpha Marsh, have you fallen for Olivia?""No.""Then why don't you mark me? Why don't you make me your mate?""Because I don't like you.""If Olivia is your second chance, would you mark her again?""No.""Olivia won't be your second chance either, Alpha Marsh. I can tell she truly doesn't want to love you anymore."I glanced at her.Lilly said this with a strange, triumphant smile, looking at me.I didn't know what made her think she won. I didn't know
Olivia's POVThe voice on the phone recording was indeed Lily's."Ms. Johnson, hello, this is Lily. I truly had no idea about Marsh marrying you as a shield, but regardless, this whole thing started because of me, so I should still apologize to you. Ms. Johnson, are you listening to me?"This statement might sound innocent, but anyone with half a brain could tell there was something off about what Lily said.Perhaps because I remained silent, Lily also paused for a few secon
Olivia's POV"The villa in Elephant Hill, if I remember correctly, should be worth over 90 million dollars now, right? The apartment in Cloud Garden should also be worth over 30 million dollars. Your asset appreciation in the past three years, even if calculated at 3%, would be at least 4 to 5 billion dollars. Rounded up, that's at least 150 million dollars. So, all in all, you have given me at least 300 million dollars."You are so generous."Marsh frowned, "I know you're not willing to accept this."
