“There’s no need to go that far. Natalic…” I paused, then continued, “I don’t think Natalie will actually fight me to the bitter end.”
For some reason, I couldn’t stay calm when it came to Natalic. Even though she had been so cruel, finding some low-ranking male to get back at me, the mere thought of her made my heart ache unbearably.
“Landon, are you completely under her spell?” Aaliyah couldn’t take it anymore. “Natalie is a bitch! Even if she wants revenge, she shouldn’t use such despicable methods. And you’re still
soft on her?”
“Aaliyah, watch your language! Landon has a conscience and principles, unlike some people.” Seeing me criticized, Grace immediately jumped to my defense.
“Enough arguing!” Louisa finally snapped. Her hoarse, sharp shout silenced both Grace and Aaliyah. She looked at me and asked, “Landon, what is your plan?”
“I…” I hesitated for a long time. My gaze swept over Aaliyah, evasive. “I want to reconcile with Natalie,” I said.
Aaliyah’s POV:
“What did you say?” My face flushed red as I stared at Landon in disbelief. He actually said that right in front of me!
Had he really changed his heart?
“It’s just a temporary measure,” Landon said defensively. “Natalie is soft-hearted. If I sincerely win her back, we can placate her for now.”
“And what about me? We are true mates. To placate Natalie, are you going to break the bond with me?” I let out a bitter laugh, infuriated by him.
Grace looked at me, a smug expression on her face. “Don’t you love Landon deeply? If you love someone, you should be brave enough to make sacrifices. To help Landon through this crisis, what does temporarily breaking the bond matter?”
I stammered, “You…”
Did they all think I was an easy target? Did they think everything would be fine once Natalie

was placated? Having provoked me, I would make sure the Richardson family would not have a moment’s peace either.
Landon’s POV:
1 knew perfectly well I couldn’t provoke Aaliyah right now either. I immediately grabbed her arm, pulling her into my arms to soothe her. My voice softened. “Of course, I won’t break the bond with you. But I can lie to her. The process takes time, and that’s enough for the company to go public.”

My words finally calmed Aaliyah down. I looked solemnly at my mother and grandmother.
I said, “As for Natalic, I have my own plans.”
I still hadn’t given up on Natalie. Before, I just wanted to control her. But this time, I want to truly win her heart.
That evening, I spoke with my father again. The situation with Natalie was urgent. I was willing to give up all my personal shares to gather half the company’s shares and transfer them to Natalie.
Benjamin, of course, disagreed. But after my repeated pleas and assurances, he wavered. “Do you trust her that much?” he sighed.
I said, “My past feelings for Natalie weren’t fake. She wants revenge precisely because she was hurt too deeply.”
Even though I spoke calmly and rationally, Benjamin felt uneasy about my decision. He thought that even with Aaliyah, I seemed to weigh the pros and cons. But for Natalie, was I willing to take such a big risk?
However, plans didn’t always pan out. Early the next morning, before I even reached the office, the group chat exploded. The company’s top-tier project had suddenly blown up. Regulatory authorities were now involved. If we couldn’t resolve this, the partnership with the Scott Group would fall through.
Chloe’s POV:
That afternoon, we were busy setting up a private room at a Grayclaw Pack entertainment center. Someone had lavishly booked the entire venue for a birthday party in the VIP private room. The themed room was filled with luxurious drinks and food.
“Chloe, the guests today are very important. You must serve them well. Do a good job, and you get the credit. Mess it up and damage the Grayclaw Pack’s reputation, and Dad will hold it against you.” Eleanor’s voice reached my ears as I was arranging plush toys.
