Heidi clutched her wound, her face twisted in pain, and gazed pitifully at Caden. “Caden, it hurts so much!”

Before he could say a word, I stepped forward, looked down at Heidi, and spoke with an icy tone. “If you’re hurt, you should stay in the hospital instead of wandering around. First, you accused me of revealing the bid price, and now you’re saying I pushed you? Why are you always trying to frame me?”

“It was you who pushed me!” Heidi insisted, her lips trembling as tears streamed down her face like a broken string of pearls.

Caden shot her a brief glance before turning to Yale. His voice was low and firm. “Take Tessa to the hospital.”

“Yes, Mr. Holbrook.” Yale signaled two werewolf security guards, who quickly stepped forward to help Heidi

up.

Without another word, Caden walked away.

Heidi watched him go, her eyes dimming as his distant and indifferent figure disappeared from sight.

I gave a composed smile. “Those accusations are completely baseless. Why would I do such a thing?”

“Some speculate that you did it for financial gain.”

I let out a soft chuckle, as if the suggestion was absurd. “Do you really think that makes sense?”

The reporter gave an awkward smile. “Of course not. Now that we’ve learned you’re the secret owner of Starplay Entertainment, it’s hard to believe you’d risk everything for a small sum.”
