Crippled Luna's Farewell: Half A Life Without My Alpha's Deadly Deception

Chapter 70

The merchant, seeing that the crowd was very surprised, continued:

“My best friend has a daughter, the original mate. She and her mate grew up together and were engaged! As a result, her mate got quite close to Linda in the first two years, to the point of withdrawing from her. But then. I heard that Linda somehow met that Alpha Arnold and directly kicked her original boyfriend

out……

Sarah was a little surprised, it was the first time she had heard about this too.

But she didn’t have time to dwell on the gossip, not far away Max and a few coworkers called her over to

help again, so Sarah turned away and began to focus on her work.

Little did she know that there were two pairs of eyes in the distance, watching her intently.

At the center of the exhibition, Charles nudged Arnold subtly, his voice laced with amusement

“She’s here.”

He tilted his chin toward Sarah, who stood with quiet confidence, engaged in discussion with her team.

Arnold followed Charles’s gaze, his sharp, assessing eyes locking onto her.

There was something about her presence that made it difficult to look away.

She stood firm, unshaken, as if the past had left no scars on her.

The realization unsettled him more than he expected.

Did she not care anymore? Had she really moved on that easily? His fingers curled slightly against his knee, but his face remained impassive.

Charles arched a brow, his tone teasing. “Didn’t expect her to be that good, huh? People respect her. She’s

got presence.”

Arnold remained silent. He wouldn’t admit it, but Charles was right.

There was an undeniable force in the way she carried herself.

The way she spoke, the way she moved–it all exuded certainty, self–assurance.

He had seen her vulnerable before, seen the way she used to look at him with eyes full of trust and longing.
