Crippled Luna's Farewell: Half A Life Without My Alpha's Deadly Deception novel Chapter 178

At that moment, Colton, sensing the tension lingering in the air, spoke up. “Let’s move inside. We’ll continue our discussion over dinner.”

With that, the group made their way into the private dining room.

Dalton remained rooted in place for a moment, watching as his father, William, walked ahead without sparing him a glance. He hesitated, expecting some indication that he should follow, but none came.

That meant one thing... he wasn’t allowed in this conversation.

His frown deepened.

Sarah was being let in, but he wasn’t?

His mind churned with questions. What exactly was being discussed that made it inconvenient for him to be there? And why was Sarah involved in it when he wasn’t?

Inside the private room, the atmosphere was markedly different from what Linda had experienced outside. The conversation flowed effortlessly, with everyone showing genuine interest in Sarah’s work and potential.

To her surprise, the council members not only knew about her but were optimistic about her future. Some even discussed the possibilities of collaboration, expressing their willingness to support her career.

Sarah, despite being composed, could feel the weight of their expectations.

After the meal, the discussions continued for another hour. By the time the gathering came to an end, she had exchanged contact information with several high-ranking figures.

She should have felt pleased with the outcome. And yet, as she stepped outside, a familiar name flashed across her phone screen.

Alex.

Sarah’s fingers twitched slightly, but without hesitation, she hung up the call.

A moment later, the phone buzzed again.

She frowned and rejected the call once more.

This time, the calls didn’t continue... but instead, another name appeared.

Arnold.

Her chest tightened slightly, but her irritation quickly overpowered any concern. She refused to answer. Instead, she simply turned off her phone, wanting to distance herself from whatever issue Arnold was trying to involve her in.

But then, a sharp voice echoed in her mind.

**Sarah.**

It was Arnold’s mind-link. His voice carried urgency, something she wasn’t used to hearing from him.
