**Chapter 206: Proudest Creation**<\/p>\n
**Ruth\u2019s POV:**<\/p>\n
A deep frown settled on my brow as I confronted Luis, my voice sharp and unyielding. \u201cLuis, it\u2019s one thing for you to play around with that Omega, but you must understand that you can\u2019t possibly take her seriously. Her family background and her manners are nowhere near what Lindsay offered. At least Lindsay was raised under my guidance; she was trained to understand the weight of her position.\u201d<\/p>\n
Luis narrowed his eyes, a glimmer of defiance sparking within them. \u201cHa! So you\u2019ve been scheming behind my back, bullying her, haven\u2019t you?\u201d His tone was accusatory, as if I had committed some unforgivable sin.<\/p>\n
The intensity with which he defended that Omega sent a wave of anger coursing through me, darkening my expression. I quickly turned my gaze to Alina, who stood by, her understanding evident. She pulled out her phone, revealing a recording, and a stack of documents that seemed to pulse with importance.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou really think she\u2019s such a virtuous woman?\u201d Alina scoffed, her voice dripping with disdain. \u201cI\u2019ll give her credit for being clever. She struck a deal with the Mistbane Pack, using you as her bargaining chip. Those 30 percent of Mistbane Group\u2019s shares? That\u2019s what I paid her for that little arrangement!\u201d<\/p>\n
Luis reached for the file, flipping through the pages with a casual air that belied the gravity of the situation.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo that\u2019s why she returned to work,\u201d he murmured, a hint of realization creeping into his voice. He tossed the papers onto the table, a dismissive gesture. \u201cAnd so what? If she asked me for it, I\u2019d hand over the entire Mistbane Pack. Anything she desires, I\u2019d give it to her without a second thought.\u201d<\/p>\n
My chest tightened with indignation, the anger bubbling just beneath the surface. \u201cYou would truly go that far for some lowly Omega?\u201d I couldn\u2019t believe the words that were spilling from my lips, a mix of disbelief and fury.<\/p>\n
Luis lifted his chin defiantly, his gaze unwavering. \u201cShe\u2019s not just some lowly Omega. She is the woman I love. And frankly, it doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re my Grandma\u2014you don\u2019t have the right to hurt her.\u201d<\/p>\n
He let out a brief, cold laugh that sent a shiver down my spine. \u201cConsider those 30 percent of shares my apology to her.\u201d<\/p>\n
A sharp, throbbing pain shot through my temples, and I felt Alina rush to my side, her hand soothingly rubbing my forehead.<\/p>\n
It took me a moment to regain my composure, to quell the storm of emotions swirling inside me. Finally, I waved her off, knowing I still had one more card to play. If not, this boy might just drive me to my grave with his reckless devotion.<\/p>\n
\u201cFine,\u201d I said, my tone icy and measured. \u201cLet\u2019s see if she\u2019s truly worth all this loyalty you\u2019re throwing around. I have another recording for you to listen to.\u201d<\/p>\n
Luis\u2019s expression shifted to one of curiosity and concern as he frowned and picked up the recorder.<\/p>\n
And I would never stand idly by and allow it to happen.<\/p>\n
\u201cLuis,\u201d I said, my voice steady and unwavering, \u201cmoney holds no value in the realm of the Mooncrown Pack. What I cannot tolerate is anyone lying to you or using you as a means to their own ends. That woman does not love you; she\u2019s simply leveraging you to ascend higher.\u201d<\/p>\n
Luis remained silent, the tension in the hall palpable, thick enough to cut with a knife.<\/p>\n
Then, with a sudden crash, he slammed the recorder onto the floor, the sound echoing in the stillness, and stormed out without uttering another word.<\/p>\n
\u201cLuis! Where do you think you\u2019re going?\u201d I shouted after him, the calm demeanor I usually maintained slipping away in the wake of my frustration.<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t even glance back.<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t you ever bother her again,\u201d he shot back, his voice icy and resolute, leaving me standing there, grappling with the fallout of our confrontation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2289","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2289","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2289"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
