Chapter 127 Silence Is the Answer

Finished

I stood rooted to the spot, my mind struggling to grasp the situation before me. The seconds stretched into eternity as the reality slowly, painfully, sank in.

Rosaline–the bold, beneath–it–all Omega–was shamelessly throwing herself at Caden, right before my eyes!

I marched over, the sharp click of my heels echoing through the room, each step fucked by a growing fary. Reaching out, I seized Rosaline’s arm and yanked her away from Caden. “Rosaline, what do you think you’re doing? It’s broad daylight–show some decency?”

She didn’t flinch, not even slightly. Instead, she stood there, casually draping her arms around Caden’s neck pressing herself against him as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

“Ms. Crawford,” she purred, her voice dripping with mock sweetness, didn’t anyone teach you how to knock? Interrupting me and my fiancé–how rude”

I was left speechless, stunned by her audacity.

I could only glare at her, imagining how satisfying it would be to make her regret this moment.

“There’s no need for that,” Caden’s voice cut through my sentence, colder than I had expected.

I held back my frustration, forcing a smile as I tried again. “But I saw that Eclipse Group’s stock price has dropped because of the Ice and Fire incident. If Eclipse Pack and Wild Pack can finalize their deal soon, it will help stabilize the stock. It could be the boost Eclipse Group needs”

Caden’s lips curved into a slight, icy smile. “So, you believe Eclipse Group needs Wild Pack to save its stoc

His gaze was razor–sharp, and the temperature in the room seemed to drop several degrees. I flinched, the words tumbling out in haste. “Caden, that’s not what I meant. I just want to help…”

“We don’t need it.” His tone was final, as cold as winter itself. His face was a mask of impatience. “I have other matters to attend to. You can leave now.”
