Alpha King’s pregnant Ex-Luna

Meanwhile, under the silver moonlight, Morris Corporation unleashed a hauntingly silent statement through the darkness, declaring their refusal to join forces with Lucas Corporation. The echoes of their words lingered in the shadows, leaving no room for further discussion. But the nocturnal creatures of the business realm, the wolves who prowled in search of power, knew better than to dismiss the implications of this rejection. They understood the art of cunningly adapting to the ever-changing wind.

After the ruckus caused by Morris Corporation at Lucas Corporation’s anniversary feast, it became clear to all that the two would never unite forces. No beast with sharp instincts could have failed to see the impossibility of such a collaboration.

Though Morris Corporation pretended to stand still on the surface, it did not mean they had no menacing intentions lurking beneath. Anyone foolish enough to associate with Lucas Corporation at this time was undoubtedly defying the dominance of Morris Corporation, a grave mistake in the relentless battlefield of the business world. In this cutthroat realm, everything centered on calculated gains, and no creature dared to place their own well-being at risk.

Thus, the enemies Lucas Corporation had accumulated throughout the years seized this golden opportunity to stir chaos behind the scenes. Lucas Corporation was already struggling financially, but if the union with the esteemed Lenoir family had come to fruition, with Morris Corporation’s support, they could have weathered the storm. Unfortunately, all their misfortunes came crashing down after that fateful incident, leaving them worse off than ever before. The perpetrators of this intricate dance of destruction remained a mystery, but soon enough, the company’s business partners arrived at their doorstep.

Some demanded repayment, while others arrived to sow discord. In the blink of an eye, the Lucas family and their corporation found themselves submerged in a sea of trouble. The wolves who sought money even staged a protest, flaunting their banners as they howled for justice, causing the uproar to spread like wildfire. Within the walls of the Lucas residence, Desmond contacted the Lenoir family, desperation etching into his voice. “We had an agreement. How can you change your mind so swiftly?”

“You know exactly why you sought a union with my family. I could have turned a blind eye, but now the whole world knows your son has no intention of marrying my daughter. What were you thinking? Is my daughter so insignificant that I have no choice but to offer her to your clan?” replied the furious Lenoir family member. “That’s not the truth. It’s all a misunderstanding…”

“Enough! This ends here,” declared the Lenoir family member firmly, cutting off all communication. Desmond desperately shouted into the lifeless phone, “Hello? Hello?” Anger consumed him as he flung the object onto the floor with all his might. The Lenoir family had been his last hope, but now even they had abandoned him. Did the gods truly wish to unleash annihilation upon his entire family? In that moment, Jacques emerged in his wheelchair, observing Desmond’s haggard appearance from the couch. Yet, his expression remained stoic. Desmond had tried to make amends with Jacques, going to great lengths to keep Erin and Alpha Zachary away from the house, lavishing Jacques with love. But despite these efforts, Desmond could never forget the haunting image of his mother falling from above.

It was a gruesome sight. She plummeted right before his feet, and the memory remained etched in his mind even to this day. That was why he despised Erin with every fiber of his being. Suddenly, Jacques spoke, breaking the silence. “Father.” Desmond’s gaze shifted towards Jacques upon hearing his son’s voice, frustration flickering across his face.

“Why did you come out?” Desmond questioned in a weary tone. “Don’t you see that this entire catastrophe was a treacherous trap all along?” Jacques uttered unexpectedly. Stunned, Desmond fixed his gaze upon his son. “What do you mean?”

“With countless other corporations at Morris Corporation’s fingertips, why did they choose Lucas Corporation? Is our company truly exceptional?” Desmond was taken aback by the inquiry. If he were honest with himself, Lucas Corporation had not reached such heights of excellence. It was in that moment that the truth finally pierced through his denial. “What are you trying to say?” Desmond inquired.

“Someone must have offended Morris Corporation, and thus they targeted us,” Jacques replied after pondering for a while. The furrows on Desmond’s brow deepened. “But who could have stirred the ire of Morris Corporation?” After a moment of contemplation, Jacques replied, “Zachary fell in love with Alpha Kilian’s woman. However, that other woman vehemently opposed their affair. To secure her place within the Lucas family, she forced Alpha Zachary into an arranged marriage with the Lenoir family. She even went as far as to cause a scene at Alpha Kilian’s workplace, resulting in her expulsion. Were you aware of this?”

“When did all of this take place?” Desmond questioned, his frustration evident. “Just a few days ago,” Jacques responded with a livid tone. Desmond muttered, seething with anger, “That fool!” “It’s obvious that Morris Corporation chose us as their target because of her actions. From the supposed collaboration to the meticulously planned banquet, every step was a trap cunningly designed to ensnare us,” Jacques explained. A few days ago, Desmond had been reveling in the joy of a prospective alliance with Morris Corporation, failing to consider the underlying motives. The unexpected turn of events had forced him to question the authenticity of Morris Corporation’s intentions. Now, Jacques had illuminated the truth.

“How did you uncover this?” Desmond probed. Jacques revealed, “I have a friend who works at Prosper Technologies. He captured a video of the scene when she caused the commotion, and I happened to stumble upon it.” Thus, he possessed undeniable evidence of the incident that had transpired. “Why didn’t you inform me earlier?” Desmond demanded. “Would you have believed me if I told you something that had not yet come to pass?” Jacques retorted.

Desmond stood there, dumbfounded. Then he muttered, “It is too late now. That woman has brought ruin upon us and Lucas Corporation.” Jacques’ voice interrupted the despondent atmosphere, giving Desmond a glimmer of hope. “Actually, there might still be a flicker of light amidst the darkness…” Desmond spun around, fixing his gaze upon Jacques with newfound anticipation. “Do you have a solution?” he asked eagerly. Jacques maintained eye contact as he uttered slowly, “As long as…”Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

At the eerie hospital, Erin sat rigidly on the bed, her hand encased in a cast. Hatred burned in her eyes whenever she thought of Nelly and Alpha Kilian. Suddenly, the door swung open, startling her. Yet, a fraction of joy flickered in her gaze when she recognized Desmond’s presence. “Desmond, it’s you…” she murmured. But her joy quickly dissipated when Desmond issued a cold command. “Take her away.”

Erin’s eyes widened as she observed three or four menacing figures entering the room. “What are you doing, Desmond?” she questioned frantically. He turned towards her, his expression frosty. “What could potentially be the reason? Why on earth would I have ever associated myself with a foolish woman like you? Morris has masterfully woven a trap for us, all because of your reckless behavior towards that woman! Now, Lucas Corporation stands on the brink of ruin! What did you honestly expect? Don’t tell me your futile dreams still revolve around marrying into the Lucas family.” Erin stood there, thunderstruck.

As the men advanced, ready to escort her away, she pleaded desperately, “I never anticipated it would come to this. Desmond, I never intended for any of this to happen…” “Regardless of your intentions, it is no longer within your control. Take her away,” Desmond commanded. “No! I won’t leave! Where are you taking me? Desmond, I refuse to leave!” Erin cried out, struggling against their hold. However, her futile resistance failed to sway Desmond’s determination. If she refused to leave, Lucas Corporation would be eternally doomed. Weighing the consequences, Desmond knew the choice he had to make. Thus, the men swiftly guided Erin out of the ward. A waiting car stood at the entrance, its doors swinging open as they forcefully pushed her inside. Even as Erin continued to fight her captors, desperately pleading to see Alpha Zachary, Desmond paid her no heed. He turned to the driver and issued a chilling order: “Make sure you personally deliver her to her destination.” “Understood,” the driver replied with a nod.
