Chapter 10 Vanya's POV I raised my chin slightly , my tone calm yet resolute , " I am the Luma of the Silver Moon Pack and do not usually participate in the operations of the pack's companies . However , Alpha Cliff is different . If I were to relay my previous words to Alpha Cliff , I wonder what he might think . " Derrick's face flushed red like a firecracker that had just been lit , veins bulging on his neck . He roared uncontrollably , " You woman , how can you be so treacherous ! " I turned my gaze to Theodore and spoke frankly , " I don't want to beat around the bush anymore , Theodore . I ask you to lend me four million dollars , for a period of three years , and I will repay it in full with interest ." Derrick's eyes bulged as if he had heard the most absurd thing in the world . He shouted , " Are you talking nonsense ! Four million dollars , do you have any idea how high the interest will accumulate to after three years ? If you can't pay it back , we will lose four million dollars for nothing . You are Cliff's mate . What can we do to you then ? " responded calmly , " I have a clear understanding of the interest . I am willing to sign a contract with you . If I fail to repay it , I will transfer some of the territories of the Thunder Pack and shares of the operating company to you , and from then on , I will work for you wholeheartedly and without complaint , following your orders . " I paused for a moment , sighed lightly , and continued , " Moreover , my mating with Cliff is likely not to last three years . Even if I still bear his Luna's title after three years , he will not provide me with any protection . " Hearing this , Theodore slowly raised his head . His deep eyes were like a bottomless pool , staring at me intently . Derrick , like an alert hound , immediately pricked up his ears . He seemed to have keenly caught a whiff of a secretive and tempting piece of gossip . But in the blink of an eye , Derrick returned to his normal state , firmly opposing , " Absolutely impossible ! I will never agree ! " However , before his words could dissipate in the air , Theodore's deep and steady voice rang out like a bell , " Alright , I will lend it to you . " " What ?! " Derrick jumped up from his chair as if he had been electrocuted , " Are you also crazy ? " Theodore looked calm and said composedly , " The funds , I will arrange for the finance department to transfer to you immediately . The matter of the contract , we can discuss later . " " Theodore ! Are you insane ? " Derrick was so anxious that he stomped his feet on the spot , waving his hands in the air . I was a bit surprised that Theodore agreed to my request so readily . It seemed that four million was indeed not a big number for him . As for Derrick's performance , I didn't know whether he was genuinely opposing or putting on a show with Theodore . But for me , my goal had been achieved . So , I got up , a faint smile appearing at the corner of my mouth , " Thank you , Mr. Kimmons . Then I will wait for your news and look forward to a smooth cooperation . " With that , I turned and left the CEO's office with an elegant gait . Before leaving , I clearly heard Derrick muttering , " She walks away so carefree , and four million dollars is gone just like that ! Are you possessed by a devil ? She is Cliff's mate . Why would you lend her money ? " Then I heard Theodore's casual response , " She is very charming . 1/2 Chapter 10 " Completely unreasonable , all of you seem to be insane ! " I didn't catch the rest , as I had already walked away . I didn't expect Theodore to evaluate me in such a way . However , it didn't affect me much . As long as my goal was achieved , that was all that mattered . I arrived at the Silver Moon Pack . I had just entered the Packhouse when I saw Cliff sitting in the living room chair before my foot fully landed . I instinctively frowned slightly . Memories from my past life flooded in . After Melinda appeared , Cliff came back to the Packhouse less frequently . I couldn't remember when he became so fond of the Packhouse . I guessed he just happened to come back and sit , so I immediately turned to go up the stairs . Suddenly , Cliff's voice pierced the air like a cold arrow , " Luna Vanya ! " I stopped at the sound , asking softly , " What is it ? " ww My recent coldness and distance towards him obviously made Cliff very uncomfortable . A trace of displeasure flashed across his face , and he said stiffly , " You forgot about the obsidian rough you bid on at the werewolf gathering ? The auction people have come to collect the payment . " I responded calmly , " I see . " Cliff took a slight breath , as if trying to suppress some emotion . He said , " If you don't have enough money on hand , I can help you ." # My heart was unmoved , and I refused coldly , " No need . I've already taken care of it . " # " Where did you get the money ? " Cliff's eyes were full of doubts . 推 2 Five million dollars was indeed not a small sum , and he was well aware of the assets I could mobilize in the Thunder Pack . In his view , there was no way I could raise so much money at once . " This is my own business , no need for you to worry , " I replied , with a hint of estrangement in my tone . " Vanya , don't forget that I am your mate , " Cliff emphasized with a heavier tone . I sneered inwardly . ' Mate ? ' 2/2
