After I left Alpha father and son went crazy with regret

Chapter 111

Though her tone was gentle, the message was ruthless.

For the first time, Linda felt her throat tighten.

Nora wasn’t someone to be fooled.

On the surface, Linda remained unbothered, but internally, her mind raced. She had underestimated her opponent. If she responded carelessly now, she would only expose her weakness further.

Leo, who had been watching from a distance, was astonished. He had been prepared to intervene, worried that Nora would be pushed around by Linda again. But instead, in just a few sentences, Nora had left Linda speechless.

Nora nodded. “Yes. I didn’t raise an issue just to make things difficult for Linda–there were actual flaws in the

Leo frowned. “But the details were well written.”

“They were,” Nora agreed. “I suspect Arnold had reviewed it for her. Technically, there weren’t outright mistakes. But there were missing points that, in the long run, would have worked against us.”

Shortly after Clark’s departure, another guest arrived.
