Counterback of the Despised Luna by Diana West

Chapter 173 No Plans to Break Off the Engagement

At the entrance of the conference hall, two werewolf warriors dressed in black helped the staggering Richard as he slowly made his way inside.

“Grandpa,” Caden said, quickly striding toward the door.

I stood up as well and walked to the entrance, joining Caden to support Richard.

“Grandpa, are you okay?” I asked softly.

Richard looked slightly tired but forced a smile. “I’m fine.”

“Donny, in order to seize control of Eclipse Group, you poisoned me with a drug laced with wolfsbane, making me too weak to resist. Then, you spread rumors that I was seriously ill and locked me up. Too bad your plan didn’t work out the way you hoped!” Richard’s cold, intense gaze fixed on Donny, his words firm and resolute.

“You know whether it’s true or not,” Richard said, stepping up to the stage and clearing his throat. “I announce that today’s press conference is canceled.
