Crippled Luna's Farewell Half A Life Without My Alpha's Deadly Deception novel Chapter 131

Chapter 131 

Sarah glanced at her watch before standing up. “Tm 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. 

Sarah 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 studio and 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 Sarah 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 I married Sarah, I did it as per your wishes. I fulfilled every promise I made to you back then. Now, I ask you to do the same and 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, Sarah returned to the office and was immediately greeted by her secretary 

Miss Sarah, Clark is here again.” 

Sarah 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 

Sarah’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 came from the side, clearly uninterested. 

But Sarah knew that an Alpha’s visit couldn’t be ignored so easily, at least not without unnecessary trouble. She sighed. “T’ll 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. 

“I won’t waste your time,” Dalton said, arms crossed. “Clark approached me a few days ago regarding an investment opportunity. After reviewing the details, I found the project quite promising. However, I’ve heard that you’re letting personal grudges get in the way of business.” 

Sarah’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 I hope you won’t let your personal issues with Clark cause unnecessary losses for 

your company.” 

A humorless laugh escaped Sarah’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, espe 

a woman. 

Sarah didn’t wait for his response. She turned on her heel and walked away, unwilling to waste any more time on his arrogance.
