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

Chapter 86

Sarah kept her expression neutral as her gaze briefly passed over Arnold and Linda. She refused to let their presence affect her, nor did she want to give Linda the satisfaction of thinking she had the power to unsettle her. Without pausing, she looked away and continued forward, acting as if she hadn’t seen them at all.

Linda, on the other hand, did not possess the same level of control.

Usually, Linda carried herself with an air of effortless confidence–prideful, dismissive, as if nothing in the world could shake her.

But tonight, her expression was colder than usual, her lips pressed into a firm line, and there was something restrained about the way she held herself.

Sarah caught the way Linda’s fingers tightened ever so slightly around the clutch in her hand, the way her shoulders stiffened the moment their eyes met.

**Anger.**

Linda wasn’t merely irritated–she was suppressing something stronger.

Sarah immediately understood.

Arnold’s interference had clearly gotten under Linda’s skin. He had demanded that Linda’s family cease their targeted attacks on Alexander, and now Linda had no choice but to comply.

For a woman who prided herself on control, being forced into submission, especially by Arnold.. must have felt like an unbearable humiliation.

But that wasn’t all.

It wasn’t just about business.

Linda didn’t want to see any lingering ties between Arnold and Sarah.

That thought alone seemed to infuriate her.

And so, as if to prove a point, Linda turned away from Sarah and focused all her attention on Leo.

“Leo,” she said, her tone suddenly light, friendly. “I’ve been meaning to invite you to dinner for some time now, but my schedule has been packed. Let’s set a date soon.”

Sarah raised an eyebrow at the blatant attempt to ignore her.
