“No, that’s not true! Caden loves me, he won’t hate me, and he certainly won’t kick me out! No matter what I’ve done, he still loves me!” Heidi clung tightly to my legs, tears streaming down her face.“Caden, you won’t hate me, you won’t kick me out, right?”

“Tessa, I’ve already told you, my feelings for you are only gratitude, nothing more.” I pulled my leg away in frustration and stepped back, staring at Heidi. “Tessa, what you’ve done is incredibly disappointing!” frustration and stepped back, staring a

“No, impossible! Caden, you love me!” Heidi collapsed to the ground, shouting desperately, “Back then, when we were locked in that small dark room, you told me yourself that I saved you. You swore by the Moon Goddess that one day, I would be your Luna!”

I replied in a low voice, “That was all in the past. We’ve both grown up, and things have changed.”

“No! Caden, you can’t just forget about this!” Heidi suddenly reached out and rolled up her sleeve. “Caden, you should remember how I got these scars on my arm, right? Back then, Sandy let a black bear loose in the room to scare us. You were terrified of that bear, and I protected you, getting scratched by the bear in the process!”

As she spoke, she started unbuttoning her clothes, revealing her back. With a hoarse voice, she continued, “And these scars on my back, they’re from when I fell off that cliff. Caden, I fell to save you, to distract those bad guys for you! I’ve done so much for you. Don’t you remember any of it? Do you really not love me at all?”

Seeing the scars on Heidi’s body sent a shock through me.

Suddenly, memories from the past flooded my mind.

-Indeed, back then, Tessa nearly lost her life to save me.

I owe her so much.

I let out a quiet sigh, then spoke coldly, “Tessa, I haven’t forgotten what happened back then. I will repay your kindness.”

After a brief pause, I took a deep breath and said calmly, “So, as for what happened today, I won’t hold it against you.”

“Not going to hold her accountable?” Rosaline’s gaze sharpened. There was a trace of coldness in her eyes as she looked at me. “Heidi betrayed Eclipse Group and leaked the bid, and you’re just going to let it go?”

I looked at Rosaline with a tense expression and replied, “Rosaline, this is something I owe to Tessa.”
