Olivia's POV
If someone else had heard Zander's words, their face would have turned red.But apart from a slight flutter in my heart, I didn't have any other strong emotional reaction.I stood there, calm as usual. "It doesn't sound that interesting."Zander heard what I said, but he didn't seem upset at all. He just smiled and said, "Well, let's forget about it then."He didn't feel embarrassed at all because of being rejected after confessing. Instead, he said, "How about going for some late-night snacks?""What would you like, Alpha Zander?"Zander mentioned a place that I hadn't even heard of. He probably had assumed that I didn't know about this place, so he immediately took out his phone and started the navigation for me.It must be admitted that Zander did know where to hang out and have fun. Even his go-to place for a late-night snack was unique.I followed him into the place and immediately heard someone greet Zander.It wasMarsh's POVI found Olivia's gaze extremely uncomfortable. She had never looked at me like this before, and her words made me even more uncomfortable.I frowned, and my tone instantly turned icy cold. "Do you think I would fall for your trick of playing hard-to-get?"Warwick sighed when he heard me. "Marsh, that's a bit too much."Olivia looked at me and smiled. "Playing hard to get? Alpha Marsh, what makes you think that I am still infatuated with you?"She said, her face turning cold, before I could speak, she added, "Marsh, in case you didn't hear me before, let me make it clear to you again. We have already rejected each other. And I'm not a landfill, so you're not for me."Olivia finished speaking and glanced at Warwick. "If you still don't understand, I suggest you ask Warwick. I think he understands what I mean."As soon as the words fell, Olivia turned around and left.Warwick took a breath and glanced at me. "Marsh, is Olivia calling
Olivia's POVZander took the necklace back and immediately put it around his neck.He put the necklace back on himself after I wore it for over three years.I stood there, looking at the necklace on his collar, and after a while, I asked, "What about now? Are we even?"Zander didn't say anything. He approached me and stopped just a few centimeters in front of me. He then looked down at me and said, "No, Olivia."He said, reaching out and lifting my chin, then bending down to kiss me on the lips.After he was done, Zander licked his lips and said, "You still owe me, Olivia."He curved his lips, his deep eyes filled with a playful smile, alluring and captivating.Marsh's POVWhen I had just walked out, this was the scene I saw.I stood there, my gaze sweeping over the two people in front of me. When it landed on the necklace around Zander's neck, I felt as if my eyes had been pricked by a needle.I remember that necklace. It had a
Zander's POVI turned to her and got closer. "Do you feel disappointed after finding out about the truth?"I no longer smiled. I just stared at her tightly.I seemed to want to engulf her in my gaze, and Olivia instinctively tried to step back a little, but I held her waist from behind before she could.The traffic light in front turned green, and our car was in the front row. Since I didn't move at all, the cars behind us kept honking their horns to urge us.Olivia couldn't help but raise her hand and push me lightly, saying, "The light turned green."I twitched my eyebrows and then restarted the car.As for the question Olivia did not answer, and I never asked it again.The silence lasted until the car stopped downstairs at Olivia's apartment. Only then did I speak again, "I will drive the car back tonight and return it to you tomorrow morning. You shouldn't mind, right?"After all, just over half an hour ago she had used me to irritate
Olivia's POVI wasn't sure whether Zander was serious about me. And I wasn't sure whether the guy from four years ago was indeed him.Yet what I was quite sure about was that Marsh was indeed annoying.Early in the morning, I woke up and found several missed calls from Hannah on my phone. I thought it was the result of the investigation from four years ago, so when I called back, I couldn't help but marvel at the efficiency of Hannah's cousin Tom.However, after the phone was connected, the first thing Hannah said on the other end of the line was, "Olivia, you haven't left the house today, have you?"It was Sunday, and I wanted to go to the gym.As soon as Hannah opened her mouth, I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and said, "What? Is my house surrounded by people?""Did you just wake up? Haven't you seen the messages I sent you?"I hadn't.Thus, I put her on speaker and then switched to WhatsApp to check her messages. It turned out she
Marsh's POVI didn't expect that public attention would turn to Emily.She had been back for several days, always acting low-key, because she was afraid of being noticed by the people from the Dawn Pack. Unexpectedly, she didn't do anything this time but ended up being innocently harmed.Feeling annoyed as I watched the increasing popularity on social media, I got Emily's phone call.As I picked up the phone, my tone immediately turned cold. "What's the matter?""Marsh, did you see what happened online?""What do you want to say?""Marsh, it wasn't me who did things online. Really, it wasn't me! What should I do now? Should I take Lily back to the Dawn Pack?"I looked downstairs, feeling increasingly heavy-hearted, and said coldly, "You don't need to do anything, I will handle it."Upon hearing my words, Emily finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Alright then, I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye."After hanging up the phone,
Warwick's POVI had been Marsh's buddy for over twenty years, and whenever I heard those negative comments, I couldn't help but stand out and say a few words in his defense.When facing doubts and pressures from the outside, support from friends became particularly important.The gossiper smiled and asked, "So, Alpha Marsh doesn't have an affair with Emily?" I couldn't respond to that. A few of our friends knew that Marsh had indeed attended many werewolf events with Emily recently, though they broke up after just two months. But if someone really wanted to investigate, they could probably find some traces. As the Alpha of the Dawn Pack, Marsh was always the focus. Any of his actions could be magnified and interpreted.I was speechless and extremely frustrated, completely baffled by Marsh's confusing actions last night.I didn't feel like drinking or picking up girls anymore, so I picked up my car keys and walked out without hesitation. Several people tried
Olivia's POVMarsh's affair caused a small ripple online and then subsided.On Sunday, I stayed in the apartment all day. Around three o'clock in the afternoon, Hannah called me and asked if I wanted to go to Mina's bar for a drink in the evening.I didn't feel like going out, so I just refused.I went to bed before 11 o'clock at night.I woke up before 7 o'clock on Monday.At this time, it was still dark outside. I pulled the curtains open, and the sky outside was still dim.I picked up my phone and checked today's schedule, and there were quite a few things to do.There was a morning meeting at 9 o'clock, followed by a short meeting at 11 o'clock, and a business lunch at noon.I would be very occupied.It was rare for me to wake up so early. I made a delicate breakfast and finished it. It was only 8:45 when I arrived at the company.Wendy had just arrived when the two of us bumped into each other at the elevator entrance in th
Olivia's POVI quickly came down as well, since twenty minutes later I had a business dinner.Wendy briefly told me about what had just happened, and I chuckled. "Alright, let's not worry about her anymore."It was about time for Hailey to taste the bitterness of defeat.When I first got married to Marsh and came to the Dawn Pack, I was still thinking about handling my relationship with Hailey. She often tried to exclude me from the pack, which was way worse than the way she treated me now.Wendy nodded. "Okay, Miss Johnson."We didn't pay any more attention to Hailey. One after another, we went straight out of the Wonder Company, ready to head to the hotel.The driver had already parked the car at the company's entrance and was waiting. Wendy and I had just walked out when we saw it.I just didn't expect that I happened to run into Hailey, who hadn't left yet.Hailey was about to make a phone call when she saw me coming out. She put away
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."
