The Luna Never Heard novel Chapter 1

After taking over the company, I quickly snatched a few major deals from Caden.

Hawk Corporation was already no match for our company, and with Caden’s scandal that had spread throughout the school, he had barely even finished college before returning home. He had no real knowledge

to speak of.

Every time he tried to question the partners or convince them to reconsider, it ended in failure.

“Adeline, are you doing this to get back at me?” he asked anxiously.

“It’s been over eight years, Caden. Don’t you think it’s time to let it go? Can we talk?” he urged.

He was desperate to have a conversation, but I wasn’t the least bit moved.

Instead, I handed over the evidence of his tax evasion and money laundering since he took over Hawk

Corporation to the police.

As a result, Caden was arrested at the airport, just when he was trying to flee to lay low.

I stood nearby, quietly watching as the police handcuffed him and took him away.

Caden’s face was twisted with pain, as if he wanted to say something. I took a couple of steps closer and

heard his hoarse voice asking, “Why?”

I smiled softly. “You’re asking me why?”

“When you insulted me, didn’t you ever wonder why?”

“When you mocked me for being deaf, didn’t you ever ask why?”

“And all I did was report you. If you were truly innocent, how could you have been arrested?”

It wasn’t difficult to gather the evidence against him.

In recent years, I had helped many students from poor districts, and one of them just happened to work at Hawk Corporation. She had informed me of these matters, and that was all it took.

I wasn’t someone to be easily bullied.

That debate competition had shown me Caden’s true face. He was hypocritical, cold, and always detached from things that didn’t benefit him. He was extremely self–serving.

And I wasn’t yet mature, still lacking the strength to stand up for myself.

So, I endured until after high school graduation, on my birthday.

I knew the opportunity had arrived.

Finally, I could proudly call off the engagement, bid him farewell, and pursue my own future. I could go

abroad to further my studies, cut all ties with him, and wait for the right time to pull him down from his high

horse.

And in the end, I succeeded.

Caden was finnally pushed out.

When I heard the news, Caden couldn’t even say a word.

Handcuffed, he walked away in a daze, his steps unsteady.

In the end, he was sentenced to seven years in prison.

To spare his parents some face, I only took over Hawk Corporation’s business divisions and didn’t seize the

entire group.

It was the last bit of decency I could offer.

Two Years Later

I still didn’t have a wolf, nor a mate.

But by the age of thirty–two, I had earned my place on the Forbes list of the wealthy.

Caden was released early for good behavior.

He said he wanted to meet me one last time, and I agreed.

In the café downstairs from the office, he looked worn and hesitant. After a long pause, he finally spoke, “If there’s a next life, if I hadn’t said those things… do you think we could have been together?”

I lowered my head and took a sip of my latte, my expression neutral. “People’s darker sides will eventually show, sooner or later. Asking these questions now is pointless.”

Caden forced a bitter smile, rubbed his face in frustration, then quickly left.

Not long after, Hawk Corporation filed for bankruptcy.

On his way back home with his parents, Caden was involved in a car accident.

Perhaps it was karma. He went deaf.

He suffered head injuries that left him hearing–impaired, and his left leg could no longer function properly, leaving him partially disabled.

His parents were fine, with only minor concussions that would heal in time.

According to those at the hospital, “Caden lay in his hospital bed, alternately crying and laughing, muttering

over and over, ‘This is karma.“”

He probably went a little mad.
