Counterback of the Despised Luna by Diana West

Chapter 403 Faces Are Deceptive Heidi's POV: Caden hadn't visitedin days.

Whenever I called, he always said he was busy.

Left with no other choice, I faked a relapse just to get him to come.

+8 Pearls He still cares about me-otherwise, why would he rush to the hospital the moment he heard my condition had worsened? Besides, I'd heard that Rosaline had gone to Yerkshire recently.

Caden hadn't gone with her-so they really must have had a falling out.

"The doctor said you've been improving. Just focus on resting." A faint smile played on Caden's lips.

I forced a smile of my own. "Caden, I'm so happy you cto see me." But he gently pulled his hand away, his voice lacking warmth. "I have things to take care of, Tessa. I'll cvisit you in a few days." Seeing how eager he was to leave, I instinctively reached for his arm, my voice laced with hope. "Caden, can you stay just a little longer?" Caden hesitated when he saw my weary face, letting out a quiet sigh before staying put.

Hmph, now that Rosaline was out of the picture, I finally had a chance to get closer to him.

Just then, the door swung open, and Wendy walked into the room. She looked straight at Caden and said, "So this is where you've been! I just went to your office looking for you, but you weren't there.” Caden turned at the sound of her voice, his expression instantly darkening.

"What is it?" Caden asked, his brows knitting together.

"Can we speak outside?" Wendy shot a jealous glance atas I lay on the hospital bed.

Caden hesitated briefly before giving a nod and following Wendy out of the room.

I stared in shock as they disappeared through the door, and a searing hatred ignited within me. Who the hell is Wendy? How dare she cto snatch Caden from me? Caden has absolutely no feelings for her. She's completely delusional, setting herself up for humili No matter what happens, Caden will be mine in the end-only mine! Wendy's POV: "I cto apologize today, Caden." I quickened my pace to keep up with him and spoke carefully.

n! But he didn't spareso much as a glance. Without a word, he strode straight to the hospital entrance, got 1/3 09:04 Thu, 27 Mar Chapter 403 Faces Are Deceptive 100% +8 Pearls Watching his limited-edition Rolls-Royce disappear into the distance, I clenched my fists, frustration boiling over.

I turned to Lilian, fuming. "What is that supposed to mean? Why won't he even talk to me?" Lilian hesitated before speaking carefully. “Maybe Caden still upset with you?" I clenched my jaw. "But I already apologized." I had thought an apology would helpmend things with him, and bring us closer again.

But I never expected that the heir of the Eclipse Pack would brushoff so completely.

Caden even went out of his way to the hospital to visit Heidi, that wretched woman.

And yet, as esteemed Ms. Wendy of the Wild Pack, what do I lack compared to Heidi-a former bar singer of no status? "Wendy, don't be upset. Let's figure out another approach." Lilian tried to calmdown when she saw my furious expression.

"And what exactly would that be?" I snapped, my patience wearing thin.

I've already resorted to something as low as drugging-what else is left forto do? "Honestly, I don't see anything remarkable about Heidi. All she does is act pitiful," Lilian scoffed. "Think about it- she stirred up by crying, making a scene, and even threatening to jump off a building. She pulled the stricks to steal Caden away from Rosaline." "What are you getting at?" I murmured, mulling over her words.

"If you suffer an injury because of Caden, he's bound to feel guilty and start caring about you again." Lilian's POV: I suggested the plan with a straight face, but deep down, I was laughing.

It was obvious tothat Caden had no real feelings for Wendy.

Even if she tried to pull the stricks as Heidi, pretending to be weak and vulnerable, he likely wouldn't spare her a second look.

But I still wanted to see her suffer.

Because, in the end, I envied Wendy more than anything.

Wendy had simply been fortunate enough to be born into a powerful and influential pack.

She was coddled, indulged, and completely incompetent!

Meanwhile, I had to humble myself, catering to her every whim, bending LX.

over backward to stay in her good graces-all for the sake of maintaining ties with Wild Pack. And yet, to Wendy, I was nothing more than an afterthought.

She orderedaround like a servant, pinned every mistake on me, and even plotted to drive Rosaline 213 09:04 Thu, 27 Mar Chapter 403 Faces Are Deceptive away from Caden-just so she could push Jasper and Rosaline together.

But Jasper was the man I had secretly loved for years.

There was no way I would sit back and let Wendy use him like a pawn in her game.

So, I pulled the strings from the shadows.

mym The entire setup-the encounter between Wendy and that gigolo werewolf in the lounge was my doing. I was the one who leaked it to the media, making sure the scandal spread like wildfire. But I was extremely cautious. I knew just how influential the Wild Pack was, and if they ever traced it back to me, I'd be in danger.

"If I stage a suicide attempt, do you think it'll work?" Wendy, blinded by her fury, actually found my suggestion reasonable.

I pressed my lips together, feigning concern. "It might t work, but it's way t too risky Wendy, you really shouldn't go through with this." "As long as it means I can have him, the risk doesn't matter," she said, a determined glint in her eyes.

Watching my plan unfold perfectly, I couldn't help but smirk inwardly, thrilled by my success.

Pretending to take her own life? That would only push Caden further away from her.

So what if Wendy was born into privilege? In the end, she was nothing more than a pawn in my game! mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
