Counterback of the Despised Luna by Diana West

Chapter 501 A Public Confession Heidi's POV: "What? It's fake?!" I stared at Rosaline in utter disbelief.

+8 Pearls I had taken those files with my own hands, sneaking them out of Caden's study. How could they be fake? Could it be that Caden had known all along that I would try to steal the project plans? Had he deliberately setup? This was so horrifying! "That's right. It's fake." Caden's sexy thin lips curved slightly, just enough to be maddeningly smug. He lifted a hand and pointed toward the stage, where Everett was hiding behind two burly werewolves. "Did you think having Heidi steal our Azure Haven project plans would work? Did you really believe your little schemes would be enough to sabotage us?" Everett's POV: The moment Caden's icy gaze landed on me, a sense of foreboding gripped my chest.

Could it be...

Before I could fully process my thoughts, his voice rang out again, crisp and merciless, "The contents of that plan were fabricated. Meaning, all those high-priced raw materials you rushed to buy are completely worthless." As soon as Caden said this, chaos erupted. Reporters swarmed towardlike a pack of vultures, their voices blending into a barrage of sharp, relentless questions.

"Mr. Lloyd, what's your response to what Mr. Holbrook just revealed?" "Was Heidi a pawn you planted by Mr. Holbrook's side?" "Did you secretly orchestrate the theft of Eclipse Pack's trade secrets? Now that Heidi's cover has been blown and BPL has suffered a major hit, how do you feel about the situation, Mr. Lloyd?" Fuck, did you still askhow I feel at the moment? My mood was downright foul.

"Get lost!" I snapped, shooting a glare at the press. I clenched my fists, nails digging into my palms. I had fallen for it.

Caden and Rosaline had seen through my plans from the very beginning. They played their roles flawlessly, staging countless arguments in front of Heidi and the press, making the world believe they had turned against each other.

However, they had orchestrated everything behind the scenes. While Caden put on the perfect act, faking an engagement with Heidi to keep both of us off guard, they had been secretly gathering evidence. And today, on this very engagement day, they delivered their final, crushing blow.

This time, I had underestimated them. Not only had I sacrificed Heidi, but my company had taken a massive hit.

Charge her with corporate espionage." Caden's voice was cold, devoid of emotion, as he glanced down at Heidi who now crumpled on the floor.

"No, please!" Heidi's face drained of all color. Her whole body trembled. "Caden, I beg you! Please, letgo! It was all Everett! He forcedto do it! It wasn't my fault!" Unfortunately, Caden didn't spare her even a flicker of emotion.

Two werewolf bodyguards cforward, grabbing Heidi as she screamed and struggled.

Watching her wail and sob as she was hauled away, I felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

All of our hard work and planning over the past few days had finally paid off. Right here, in front of everyone, we had exposed Heidi for what she truly was-a deceitful person pretending to be innocent. At the stime, Everett had been backed into a corner, and BPL had suffered a devastating blow.

Yet, even though Heidi wasn't the real Tessa, then where was the real one? What if one day, the real Tessa appeared? Would Caden waver? The thought was so brief, so fleeting, yet it left a strange ripple in my heart. The excitement I had felt just moments ago instantly wavered.

"What are you thinking about?" Caden's deep voice pulledback. He had stepped closer, his tall frcasting a shadow over me. His warm breath brushed against my ear as he askedwith a low voice.

I blinked, shaking off my thoughts. "Nothing." "Are you sure everything is okay?" His brows furrowed slightly, his gaze filled with quiet concern.

I met his eyes and gave a soft and genuine smile. At this moment, I could feel his unwavering love wrapping. aroundlike an invisible embrace.

Even if one day the real Tessa did return, I was certain that Caden's heart would never belong to anyone else.

Today's engagement banquet, once meant to be a grand affair, had unraveled into a public humiliation for Heidi and Everett. Yet, amid of the chaos; one thing stood out, Caden and I, standing side by side, untouchable. Sensing our intimate exchange, the reporters wasted no tswarming in. "Mr. Holbrook, is today's engagement banquet planned by you two from the very beginning?" "Ms. Sinclair, those public arguments between you and Mr. Holbrook before, were they all just an act?" "Mr. Holbrook, does this mean you never loved Heidi, and you never intended to marry her?"

"That's right." Caden nodded faintly; his gaze darkened as he looked directly at me. "From beginning to end, I only love one woman, and that En woman is Rosaline. My fiancée will only ever be her." His deep, magnetic voice echoed through the hall, sending a sudden heat rushing to my cheeks. 213 11:35 Sun, 6 Apr ti Chapter 501 A Public Confession 68% +8 Pearls

As soon as my voice fell, he suddenly leaned in closer in the next segand, and his thinlips pressed the lightest, briefest kiss on my forehead. The room erupted as thunderous applause filled the air.

My face burned, and I instinctively shoved him away.

Flashing lights burst like fireworks as the reporters' cameras captured every second of this sweet and beautiful moment.
