Diana's pov

| stood there, dumbfounded, and blurted out, “You're talking nonsense-

“Nonsense?” Nathan raised an eyebrow, cutting me off.

Intentionally loosening his tie, he exposed his slender neck and pointed, asking, “Then who left these marks here for me?” As Nathan mentioned, there were several red marks on his neck, looking quite suggestive.

But those marks were clearly from me trying to threaten him, gripping his neck!

Seeing me unable to respond, Nathan smirked even more.

He glanced back at William, saying, “So, | can testify that Diana indeed has nothing to do with the explosion.” William furrowed his brow, his narrowed eyes shifting between me and Nathan.

Probably skeptical, he hesitated before speaking, “Alpha Nathan, | recall you have a fiancée.”

“So what?” Nathan shrugged nonchalantly, oblivious to how derogatory his words sounded.

Clearly taken aback by his casual attitude, William took a moment before asking, “Are you telling me you and Diana have rekindled your old flame?”

Nathan scoffed.

“Mr. William, it was just a lonely nap. How does that relate to an ‘old flame‘? | didn’t expect you to be so innocent at your age. Ryou

William angrily rose from his chair, slamming the table.

However, Nathan was still his business partner, and moreover, the Alpha of the Dark Moon Pack. After a moment's hesitation, William suppressed the rage that was about to burst from his chest.

He sat back down, the muscles around his eyelids twitching slightly.

“Since Alpha Nathan is vouching for Diana, I'll reluctantly believe that the explosion has nothing to do with her. But | won't give up the investigation. If | find any other leads...”

William clenched his fists gradually, a dangerous glint shining in his eyes. “| won't let anyone who dares to play games with me go unpunished!”

His warning was clear, but to Nathan, who had experienced countless battles, the emotional value of hearing a joke wasn’t much different.

Nathan nodded calmly. “In that case, let Diana and her little sidekick leave. | have business matters to discuss with you.” William’s harsh gaze swept over me, but he didn’t say anything, letting Moss and me leave.

After coming out of the building, | walked to the side of the road, ready to hail a cab and take Moss back to the hospital. Suddenly, | heard hurried footsteps behind me.

Then, | heard Nathan’s voice.

“Diana-”

Feeling irritated, | couldn’t help but furrow my brow, turning to meet Nathan's gaze.

“Weren't you discussing business with William? How come you're out so soon?”

Nathan’s breath was slightly ragged, as if he had rum all the way here

He didn’t answer my question but looked disdainfully at Moss.

“Is this your taste in men? When you're in trouble, not only can he not help, he doesn’t even understand what the trouble is, waiting for your ex husband to come to the rescue?”

| paused, momentarily confused by what Nathan was trying to say.

But his arrogant attitude really irked me.

Therefore, | met his gaze and mocked, “So now you’re comparing yourself to Moss, telling me you’re better than him?” “But what's your reason for doing so? Trying to win favor? Wanting to get my attention?”

The arrogance on Nathan’s face gradually shattered, turning into nervousness, anxiety, and embarrassment, with a hint of anger. “Diana, do you even realize what nonsense you're spouting

| rolled my eyes, not intending to engage further.

Grabbing Moss's arm, | turned to leave.

Nathan grasped my wrist.

His face darkened.

“| did you such a big favor, and you're just leaving without even saying thank you?”

“Do you need it?” | asked, with a cold smirk. “Don’t think | don’t know why you helped me. You're just worried that I'll expose you, and in a moment of panic, | might even expose you too.”

Nathan stared at me intensely.

After a few seconds, he chuckled lightly and let go of me.

But there was a hint of bittemess in his smile that was hard to miss..

“You're quite rational,” he remarked.

| chuckled along with him, the sunlight blurring my vision and Nathan’s face.

“If | wasn’t rational, I'd probably have gone crazy from you and your Avia long ago.”

Leaving him with that, | hailed a taxi and got in with Moss.

As the taxi pulled away, | faintly heard Nathan angrily shouting my name.novelbin

After the car had gone a distance, | glanced back and found Nathan’s figure had disappeared from my sight. mu gaze fell on

Turning back again, Moss.

Since Nathan appeared, Moss had been silent.

His bangs covered his eyes, making it impossible for me to gauge his emotions.

“Moss, what’s wrong?” | asked.

Moss remained silent for a few seconds before his lips finally moved.

“This morning... Were you with Alpha Nathan?” he asked, his voice sounding inexplicably tired and hoarse, as if he had lost something important.

| guessed he was probably worried that if | and Nathan really rekindled our old flame, it would affect our plans. Quickly, | explained, “It’s not what you think.”

| recounted everything that happened this morning to Moss in detail.

“...So the marks on his neck were from me pinch also helping himself.”

“Is that true?” Moss asked uncertainly.

him. He helped me in front of William, but he was

“Why would | lie to you?”

Relieved, Moss let out a sigh.

1 patted his shoulder. “Don’t worry. No matter what happens, my top priority is to develop the antidote as soon as possible” “I'm not. Moss hesitated to speak

“Not what?” Lasked.

Moss took of! his glasses and rubbed his brow. “Forget it, it’s nothing.

Rescuing the researchers’ families from under William’s scrutiny won't be easy,” Moss said.

“| know.” | paced back and forth. “We need to figure something out...”

“lcan help you.”

Just as | was feeling anxious, suddenly, the office door swung open.

Ryley walked in, his eyes fixed on me, repeating, “I can help you, rescue those researchers’ families. | have a plan.”
