Chapter 120

Abby was about to say Sarah’s name when she suddenly remembered her appointment with Uncle Cole the other day.

She was not to mention Aunt Sarah’s name in front of anyone else!

Ella bit her lip and flung herself into Cole’s arms without speaking.

Arnold, perceptive as ever, noticed Cole’s unnatural behavior, but didn’t press for anything more.

Unlike Charles, who would doggedly pursue the matter until he got an answer, Arnold chose a different approach.

He did not flirt or press him, nor did he try to corner him into an admission.

Instead, he simply observed, waiting for Cole to either confess or compose himself.

Meanwhile, Leo had an important business trip to attend to, leaving much of the company’s operations in

Sarah’s hands.

She wasn’t worried. Over time, she had become accustomed to managing affairs in his absence, handling negotiations and ensuring smooth day–to–day operations.

However, she did not anticipate the arrival of an unexpected guest–Clark.

When Clark stepped into the company’s office, his presence carried an air of self–importance.

He was the Alpha of the Snow Moon Pack, but under his leadership, the pack had dwindled.

They were burdened with foreign debt, and his resources were stretched thin.

It was no secret that his authority was weakening.

Still, he carried himself with arrogance.

The moment he laid eyes on Sarah, his expression turned condescending. He barely glanced at her before stating dismissively, “Call Leo in. I need to talk about cooperation. A mere secretary shouldn’t be sitting in her boss’s office.”

Sarah, composed as ever, met his gaze without flinching.

She knew Clark saw her as insignificant, but she also knew the truth–he was in no position to dictate
