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

Chapter 124

Cody looked calm but observant, his hands in his pockets, his posture firm yet not aggressive.

Linda, on the other hand, exuded her usual poised confidence, her sharp eyes assessing the situation before a single word was spoken.

Sarah’s expression remained neutral, though inwardly, her thoughts moved quickly.

Arnold owned multiple companies, many of which Cody managed.

If Cody was here, it likely had something to do with one of Arnold’s business ventures. And Linda–well, Linda’s involvement always came with layers of personal and professional motives intertwined.

Leo shot Sarah a glance, a silent question in his gaze. Should they engage? Sarah gave the slightest nod. They had no reason to avoid this.

“Beta Cody,” Leo greeted evenly as they approached. “Linda.”

Cody nodded, his expression unreadable, but Linda’s lips curled into a practiced smile. “Leo. Sarah,” she said smoothly. “We were hoping to discuss a potential collaboration.”

“Then let’s discuss it inside,” Sarah replied, her voice cool but professional.

Cody, who was usually composed, seemed uncharacteristically affected. His gaze lingered on Sarah longer than necessary, studying her as if seeing her for the first time.

“You’ve changed a lot,” he murmured, almost to himself.

Sarah met his eyes, unfazed. “People change,” she replied simply, her tone neither defensive nor inviting further discussion.
