NovelEnglishChapter 443 Stealing the Proposal The assistant approached cautiously, straightening the shattered computer screen.
+8 Pearls I waved him away in frustration, and he scurried out of the office as if he had just been granted a pardon.
I sank into deep thought.
Azure Haven, huh? Caden, I won't let you have the final laugh.
I'll make sure your plan crumbles-no matter what it takes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHeidi! Her nsuddenly popped into my mind. The last twe spoke, she toldthat Caden was utterly devoted to her. Maybe it was tto use that to my advantage.
With that thought, I dialed Heidi's number.
Heidi's POV: The nurse Caden hired had just finished checking my blood pressure and heart rate. I gave her a polite nod and smiled faintly. "Thank you. You must be tired. Why don't you take a break? I'm fine." The truth was, I had been faking my illness all along. If this nurse stayed glued to my side much longer, she might eventually catch on.
No, I had to cup with a better plan. I needed to keep Caden wrapped around my finger-for good.
As I was lost in thought, my phone buzzed.
It was Everett.
My heart sank at the sight of his name. I quickly picked up the phone, forcing myself to stay composed before answering.
"Hey, Everett. What's up?" I kept my voice low, making sure the nurse in the next room wouldn't hear anything incriminating.
"What are you doing?" "I-I'm resting." His voice was as cold as ever, makingnervous.
"Enough small talk. Tell me, how are things going with Caden?" My stomach churned at his words. I instinctively glanced toward the nurse's room, lowering my voice. "I've already moved into his house. He's barely around, but he treatswell. Oh, and he and Rosaline had a huge fight the day I moved in. They're not in contact anymore. So, don't worry, Everett." "Good." His tone was deep.

Caden hadn't mentioned anything about the Azure Bay project in ages. Now, suddenly, there was a new amusement park? Everett scoffed coldly. "You really don't know, huh? Figures. Caden is too cautious to tell you anything important." "That's not true!" I blurted out.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI couldn't let Everett think I was useless. If his pack abandoned me, I'd lose all my connections and comfortable life. I'd be thrown back into the gutter, drowning in debt and misery.
No. I refused to go back to that.
Cold sweat broke out on my forehead. Forcing myself to breathe steadily, I whispered, "Caden really trustsnow. When I brought up Rosaline, he clearly didn't want to talk about her anymore. Everett, could you please allowa bit more time-" "That's enough." He impatiently cutoff. "I need you to steal Eclipse Group's amusement park proposal. I want Caden to know what it feels like to be crushed beneath someone else's heel."
My stomach twisted, and I instinctively frowned at his instruction. Not only did Caden m always took his study door when he worked, but would he really leave something crucial lying around the house forto find on a project this big? "But Caden might not even letsee the proposal. And there's no guarantee he keeps it here." I tried to persuade him.
"That's your problem." Everett's voice darkened. "You either get it, or you suffer the consequences. Failure is not an option. Got it?"
His commanding tone made my stomach churn. I was powerless to change his mind. However, when I considered his brutality and the potential consequences of my disobedience, I found myself compelled to firmly accept his decision. After hanging up, I collapsed onto the floor, my whole body drenched in sweat.
I was sick of Everett controlling my life. If I didn't marry Caden soon, I might never escape his grip.
But if I could marry him-if I becthe Lady of Eclipse Pack-even Everett wouldn't be able to touch me.
