After I left Alpha father and son went crazy with regret

Just then, her phone rang again. Seeing Leo’s name on the screen, she answered.

“Did you hear about the equity transfer?” Leo’s voice was sharp with frustration. “He’s practically giving her the company!”

Nora’s expression remained neutral. “Tocus on your own work, Leo. It’s none of our business.”

Her calmness seemed to settle both Leo and Cole. If she could speak about Arnold so indifferently, then perhaps she had really moved on.

The following evening. Nora and Leo arrived at a formal dinner party, the grand ballroom filled with elegantly dressed guests.

Just as Cole was about to speak, a sudden hush spread through the room.

Arnold and Linda had made their entrance.

Linda was draped in a gown that shimmered under the crystal chandeliers, her wrists adorned with diamonds, each piece expensive enough to draw attention. Arnold, standing beside her, looked composed, unfazed by the whispers around them.

The murmurs among the guests grew louder.

“Arnold has been incredibly generous with Linda…”

“She’s practically the queen now. He’s transferring all his power to her.”

Nora stood still, her fingers lightly wrapped around the stem of her champagne flute, her expression unreadable.

Leo and Cole glanced at her almost simultaneously, searching for any sign of reaction to the hushed whispers about Arnold and Linda. But she remained composed, as if the rumors were nothing more than idle chatter floating through the air, insignificant and unworthy of her attention.

Cole’s gaze lingered on her for a moment longer than necessary. He had seen that same expression before…. calm, detached, almost indifferent. But – was it truly indifference, or had she simply mastered the art of concealment?

Across the room, Flora had arrived, her eyes immediately locking onto Linda. She hadn’t come just to attend the party…. she had followed Linda here, using the opportunity to get closer to Cole.

Her gaze darted around until she found him, standing with Nora and Leo. Her lips curled into a smile, her posture elegant as she made her way toward them

“Cole,” she greeted sweetly, her voice carrying just the right amount of charm. “It’s such a coincidence running into you here.”

Cole barely spared her a glance. His face was expressionless, his demeanor cold.

Undeterred. Flora continued, tilting her head slightly. “A few of us are heading to a private gathering later. You should come. It’ll be fun.”
