After I left Alpha father and son went crazy with regret

Chapter 117

Nora glanced at her watch before standing up. "I'm heading out first. You guys should eat,"

Her voice was light, but Alex sensed the distance in her tone. He hesitated, reluctant to let her go.

He wasn't sure why, but a subtle unease gnawed at him. Still, he knew better than to hold her back,

Nora noticed his reluctance and gave him a gentle pat on the head, her fingers brushing through his hair in a

fleeting moment of warmth. Then, without another word, she turned and walked away,

Arnold, who had been quietly watching, did not speak to stop her. He simply observed as her figure disappeared

from sight, his expression unreadable,

When Arnold arrived at the restaurant, he was met with an unexpected mindlink from his grandmother. Her voice

was sharp, cutting straight to the point.

**Arnold, did you create a stuand join forces with Linda and Clark for an investment?**

Arnold exhaled slowly, his fingers tapping against the table. "Hmm."

The noncommittal sound sent his grandmother into a fury.

"Do you even realize what you're doing? Our family has treated Nora horribly, and now you go out of your way to

break her heart again? Are you doing this because you want to divorce her?"*

His grandmother's words carried both anger and disappointment, but Arnold remained unmoved. His voice was

calm but firm.

"When | married Nora, | did it as per your wishes. | fulfilled every promise | made to you back then. Now, | ask

you to do the sand stop interfering in my decisions."

The old woman clenched her fists on the other end of the link. Arnold had always been a dutiful grandson,

respecting the family's wishes even when they did not align with his own. But now, as Alpha, his authority was

absolute.

Even she, the matriarch of the family, could not dictate his choices anymore.

The realiz“tion left her simmering in anger, but she knew there was nothing more to say. With a huff, she cut off

the mindlink, leaving Arnold in silence.

He swirled the glass of wine in front of him, watching the liquid ripple. There was no emotion in his eyes, no

regret, no second thoughts.

Meanwhile, Nora returned to the office and was immediately greeted by her secretary.

"Miss Nora, Clark is here again."

Nora frowned slightly. She and Leo had already decided not to entertain him, yet Clark was persistent.

The secretary hesitated before adding, "He brought someone with him-Alpha Dalton of Birchpack."

Nora's brows furrowed at the name. She had met Dalton at the auction before, where he had been polite and

courteous. But something told her that today would be different.

*Alpha or not, we don't need to meet him," Leo's voice cfrom the side, clearly uninterested.

But Nora knew that an Alpha's visit couldn't be ignored so easily, at least not without unnecessary trouble. She

sighed. Tll see what he wants."

When she entered the conference room, Dalton's demeanor had completely changed from their first meeting.

Gone was the polite, approachable man from before. Instead, he looked down at her with a mix of condescension

and skepticism.

"lI won't waste your time," Dalton said, arms crossed. "Clark approacheda few days ago regarding an

investment opportunity. After reviewing the details, | found the project quite promising. However, I've heard that

you're letting personal grudges get in the way of business."

Nora's expression remained composed, but her patience thinned. "Personal grudges?"

Dalton nodded, his gaze scrutinizing. "It's not wise to let emotions cloud business decisions. This project has

great potential, and | hope you won't let your personal issues with Clark cause unnecessary losses for your

company."

A humorless laugh escaped Nora's lips. "And yet, you're the one who walked in here with preconceived biases.

Tell me, Alpha Dalton, who is truly letting emotions interfere with business?"

Dalton stiffened slightly at her sharp words. He wasn't used to being challenged so directly, especially by a

woman.

Nora didn't wait for his response. She turned on her heel and walked away, unwilling to waste any more ton

his

arrogance.

Dalton remained standing, his pride stung by the rejection. Few ever dismissed him so coldly.

Later that evening, Dalton and Clark sat in a private booth, drinking in silence. The atmosphere was heavy, thick

with unspoken thoughts.

Clark finally spoke, swirling his glass. “So? Did you make any progress?”

Dalton exhaled sharply and shook his head. "No. | went there thinking I'd be doing you a favor, but after looking

the project, | realized it actually has great potential. | was willing to take it seriously,"

Clark smirked. "And yet, you didn't get anywhere."

Dalton scowled, taking a slow sip of his drink. "Because of Nora."

Clark raised an eyebrow. "She refused you?"

Dalton let out a dry chuckle. "She didn't even givethe tof day. Completely ignored me."

Clark leaned back, a knowing glint in his eyes. "Well, | told you she's a stubborn woman who takes out her

personal life grievances at work, and Leo is so biased in her favor...

Dalton remained silent, his mind turning.

After a long pause, he pulled out his phone and scrolled through his contacts, stopping at a name-Colton.

He hesitated for only a moment before pressing the call button.
