Crippled Luna's Farewell Half A Life Without My Alpha's Deadly Deception novel Chapter 125

Though her tone was gentle, the message was ruthless. 

For the first time, Linda felt her throat tighten. 

Sarah wasn’t someone to be fooled. 

On the surface, Linda remained unbothered, but internally, her mind raced. She had underestimated her opponent. If she responded carelessly now, she would only expose her weakness further. 

Leo, who had been watching from a distance, was astonished. He had been prepared to intervene, worried that Sarah would be pushed around by Linda again. But instead, in just a few sentences, Sarah had left Linda speechless. 

The meeting eventually concluded, and Sarah and Leo escorted Linda and Cody out of the building. 

Once they were alone, Leo turned to Sarah. “Was there actually a problem with their proposal?” 

Sarah nodded. “Yes. I didn’t raise an issue just to make things difficult for Linda–there were actual flaws 

in the contract.” 

Leo frowned. “But the details were well written.” 

“They were,” Sarah agreed. “I suspect Arnold had reviewed it for her. Technically, there weren’t outright mistakes. But there were missing points that, in the long run, would have worked against us.” 

She had spotted it right away. It was subtle–so subtle that a less experienced negotiator might have missed it entirely. But the gaps were there, and Sarah wasn’t about to overlook them. 

Later that afternoon, Clark visited the studio. 

Leo, however, didn’t see him. Clark didn’t stay long–when he realized he wouldn’t be meeting anyone important, he left without a word. 

Shortly after Clark’s departure, another guest arrived. 

Cole. 

Leo and Sarah met him together, reviewing the revised proposal he brought. As they skimmed through the document, they exchanged glances. Without speaking, they understood each other’s thoughts. 

Sarah extended her hand first. “Cole, good working together.”

Cole hesitated briefly, his sharp eyes flicking between her and Leo. Then, with a small nod, he reached out and shook her hand. “Happy working together.” 

They spent the next few hours discussing the finer details of the agreement. The conversation was focused, efficient. Outside, the sky darkened as time passed. 

Then, Sarah’s phone rang. 

She glanced at the screen. 

Alex 

The call ended. Then, immediately, her phone buzzed again. 

She declined it. 

Seconds later, the ringing stopped. Alex didn’t call again. 

Meanwhile, elsewhere, Arnold received a mind–link. 

A weak voice drifted through. 

“Dad, I’m not feeling well. I miss Mom…” 

Arnold’s expression darkened. 

Half an hour later, he was home. 

Alex was lying in bed, his face slightly pale. The room smelled faintly of medicine. When he saw the door open, he stirred, his gaze expectant. 

“Mom?” 

Then he realized it was Arnold. His excitement faded instantly. 

Arnold turned to the servant nearby. “What happened?” 

The servant hesitated, choosing her words carefully. “Young Master Alex has a weak stomach. He’s had issues since birth. When Miss Sarah was here, she ensured he took regular supplements, which kept him healthy. But…” 

She trailed off. 

Arnold didn’t need her to finish. 

The implication was clear.

Without Sarah around to enforce the routine, Alex had stopped taking the bitter supplements, thinking he was free from them. 

But health wasn’t a matter of personal preference. 

And now he was paying the price. 

Arnold sighed. He approached the bed, looking down at his son. “Alex,” he said, his voice quiet but firm. “Have you been skipping your supplements?” 

Alex pursed his lips, unwilling to admit it. But his silence was answer enough. 

Arnold sat beside him. “You might not like them, but they help you. Do you understand that?” 

Alex turned his face away. “I just… I just wanted Mom to come back.” 

His voice was small. 

Arnold exhaled, rubbing his forehead. 

Even after all this time, Alex still clung to the past. 

Still, he couldn’t blame him.
