Alpha's Abandoned Daughter is the Secret Heiress novel Chapter 245

Chapter 245: Heartbroken

(Amelia’s POV)

Seeing Jaxon’s resolute attitude, I decided not to push the matter further.

Deep down, my stance aligned perfectly with his.

To me, my mother Seraphina’s health and well–being were far more important than gambling on

the uncertain risks of childbirth.

“I understand, Dad,” I responded softly,

Jaxon’s hands gripped the steering wheel tightly, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force.

He took a deep breath. His tone carried a hint of helplessness but was undeniably solemn as he

made his request.

“Amelia, about having another pup… I hope you never mention this to your mother again. In Seraphina’s heart and mine, you are our only daughter, and that is enough for us.”

I looked at my father’s serious profile.

“Okay,” I said earnestly, nodding my head. “I promise you.”

The atmosphere in the car remained silent for a moment.

Then, Jaxon shifted the conversation.

“Amelia, there are rumors outside,” he began cautiously. “They say Theodore’s crippled wolf form might mean he cannot produce an heir. What do you think about that?”

I smiled easily.

“Dad, you know who I am. I have the ability to cure him.”

But then, I let the smile fade from my lips. I wanted to be honest with him.

“However,” I said, my voice cool and composed. “If the day comes where I truly desire a pup, and his physical condition is indeed incurable, I would hesitate.”

I looked out the window, watching the scenery blur

“I would reject the bond immediately.”

Jaxon froze for a second. The car swerved slightly before he corrected it.

He clearly hadn’t expected my answer to be so crisp and decisive. It bordered on cold rationality.

“Fortunately,” I added, turning back to him. “I don’t have any obsession with raising pups right now.

So, I don’t mind his current status.”

Jaxon exhaled slowly.

I could see the relief in his eyes. He was glad his daughter possessed a clear mind and wouldn’t

settle for the sake of so–called love.

But I noticed his grip on the steering wheel tighten again.

As a male wolf, he was likely thinking something else.

If Theodore knew that I viewed our mate bond with such rational, almost ruthless calculation, the

poor man would probably feel incredibly heartbroken.

The car pulled up in front of the Starlight Entertainment building.

“Be safe,” Jaxon instructed.

“I will,” I replied.

I gathered my things, composed my emotions, and turned to walk into the company building.

Back in the CEO’s office, I had barely sat down when my secretary, Anya, rushed in.

Her face was pale with panic.

“Miss Stone, we have a problem,” she reported breathlessly.

“What is it?” I asked.

“Ethan had planned to hire Director Bruno for the new project with a high salary,” Anya explained.

“But because of the recent executive turmoil and the crisis we are facing, Director Bruno just had

his assistant call.”

She swallowed hard.

“He rudely refused to cooperate with us.”

I listened to the news without a flicker of panic on my face.

I leaned back against my chair.

“What is this Director Bruno’s reputation like?” I asked.

Anya hesitated for a moment before reporting truthfully.

“His reviews in the industry are very polarized.”

She fidgeted with her notepad.

“Although he has some fame, he is often accused of being pretentious and obsessed with

<Chapter 245: Heartbroken

outdated, experimental techniques. He also likes to tamper with script details at will and doesn’t respect the original work.”

I shrugged indifferently.

“Then it’s a good thing he didn’t sign,” I said.

I picked up a pen and twirled it.

“I never trusted Ethan’s taste anyway. That kind of self–righteous director would only ruin my script.

I will choose a suitable candidate myself.”

After the secretary left, I dialed a private number directly.

The phone rang twice before a man’s excited voice came through.

“Oh, Amelia! You are turning Northgate City upside down, and only now you remember to contact

your old friend?”

I laughed.

“I just didn’t want to disturb your rest,” I explained.

Director Liam’s voice boomed from the other end.

“If I rest any longer, I’m going to rot away at home!”

I took the opportunity to make my offer.

“In that case, how about you come out of retirement and direct my work?”

Director Liam had obviously been following the trending news.

“I was waiting for you to say that,” he said bluntly. “At this critical juncture, I’m afraid no one else dares to take your show except me.”

He readily agreed to come find me in two days.

Having secured the most important candidate for director, I felt great.

I stretched lazily and began to personally adapt the treatment diary into a script.

(Author’s POV)

As noon approached, a sudden commotion erupted at the front desk.

Theodore Crimson had appeared in the company lobby in person.

He rolled his wheelchair up to the reception and calmly stated he was looking for Amelia.

Anya, who was organizing files nearby, heard the news and nearly jumped out of her cubicle.

She stammered as she ran to announce him.

< Chapter 245 Heartbroken

After receiving Amelia’s permission, Anya guided Theodore toward the Alpha office. Her eyes were

wide with a mix of awe and nervousness.

As Theodore passed through the office area, the atmosphere changed instantly,

Although he sat in a wheelchair, the powerful aura emanating from a top–tier Alpha was

undeniable.

His handsome features and commanding presence sent the female employees into a frenzy.

They whispered in low, excited tones, marveling at the charm of the Alpha King’s heir.

That innate Alpha temperament and oppressive power made them feel that even just looking at him was a supreme honor.

At the office door, Marcus pushed Theodore into the room.

Then, he discreetly left the room to give them some privacy and closed the door behind him.

Amelia stood up from behind her desk to welcome him.

“Why did you come personally?” she asked, surprised.

Theodore maneuvered his wheelchair until he was in front of her.

He looked up, his golden eyes gazing at her gently.

“You are the one treating me, yet you were always the one working hard to run to my company,” he smiled. “My business was finished early today, so I came to find you.”

As he spoke, his gaze swept over Amelia’s outfit for the day seriously.

A look of appreciation surfaced in his eyes.

“You’re very considerate,” Amelia teased.

Theodore shook his head.

“It’s not so much consideration as it is that I missed you,” he said deeply.

His voice dropped an octave.

“I wanted to fight to see you a little earlier. I wanted to have more time to stay with you.”

He paused, his eyes burning as he looked at her.

“Facts prove that coming to find you was the right choice. You look more charming today than ever before.”

Ava wagged her tail excitedly in Amelia’s mind.

*“Admit it, Amelia,“* the wolf purred with a pleased low whine. *“This male’s words are as sweet as
