After I Amazed the World the Cold Alpha Regretted

Chapter 142

I leaned closer, a smirk tugging at my lips. "Of course, there's something different."

For a brief moment, hope lit up his face, and I couldn't help but chuckle as I added, "But honestly, you probably don't hold as much of a place in my heart as a few of them do."

His smile faltered, and a shadow passed over his face, but he quickly recovered, a small, determined smile forming.

"That's fine," he said softly. "I'm not giving up."

Meanwhile, thirty meters away on the first floor, behind the thick curtains, a pair of jealous eyes watched us intently.

Alde, clutching a broom in her hands, stared at us with a mixture of anger and longing.

Her heart twisted at the sight of Leo, the Alpha she adored, being rejected yet relentlessly pursuing me.

Rubbing her chest in frustration, Alice muttered bitterly to herself, "A woman abandoned by the Alpha... and still shamelessly flirting with her ex-husband? What a disgrace!" "Alice, slacking off again?" A sharp voice interrupted her thoughts.

Alice flinched, turning to see the head maid, a middle-aged woman in a servant's uniform, eyeing her with disapproval.

"You're not the Alpha's daughter anymore," the maid sneered. "As an Omega, you should learn to do your work properly."

Alice's face turned crimson, but she bit her tongue, unable to retaliate.

Once, she had looked down on the Omegas, but now she found herself working beneath them, her status reduced to nothing.

As soon as the maid left, Alice pulled out her phone, flipping through the photos stored in her album.

They were all pictures she had secretly taken of Leo.

One by one, she gazed at his handsome face, her heart aching with each swipe.

Finally, she picked her favorite picture and set it as her phone's wallpaper, her obsession growing.

Later, at dinner, the pack had prepared a lavish meal.

As I sat down, I noticed the servant pouring wine at the table was none other than Alice.

She paid me no attention, focusing entirely on Leo, making a show of leaning toward him, her body brushing against him as she poured the wine.

I watched the whole thing silently, my expression calm.

I wanted to see how Leo would handle this mess on his own.

Leo shifted uncomfortably in his seat as Alice leaned in too close, deliberately brushing against him.

His expression tightened with clear impatience, and he shifted to the opposite side.

"Are you incapable of standing up straight?"

He snapped, his tone cold and biting.

Alice blinked, startled, her face taking on a pitiful look.

"Alpha, I was just trying to pour you a drink."

Her voice was soft, as though she were hurt by his reaction.

With that, she clumsily lifted the wine bottle, pretending to concentrate, but her hand trembled, spilling wine onto Leo's expensive suit. 10:35

"Oh no!" she gasped, her eyes wide with faux innocence.

Without thinking, she reached out to touch his suit, patting his chest as if to clean the stain.

Leo's patience finally snapped.

His expression darkened, and he pushed her away roughly.

Alice, caught off guard, stumbled backward and landed on the floor with a thud.

She looked up at him, eyes wide in shock and fear, as if expecting him to explode in anger.

But Leo did something unexpected.

stead of shouting at her, he calmly called for the head maid.

When the maid arrived and saw the scene-Alice on the floor, Leo with wine stains on his suit-she didn't need an explanation.

"I'm terribly sorry, Alpha," the maid apologized hurriedly, bowing slightly.

"I will ensure that Alice is properly disciplined. She's still...adjusting, to being an Omega."

Alice, however, wasn't about to let the situation pass without making a scene.

Her face flushed with anger as she scrambled to her feet, glaring at everyone around her.

"I'm not an OMEGA! I never will be!" She screamed, her voice trembling with outrage.

"This is all because of that wretched Elizabeth! She's the one who's ruining my life, making me work like this just to humiliate me!"

The head maid looked horrified and immediately turned to hush Alice.

"You will not speak to the Luna like that! Apologize now!"

But instead of reacting harshly, I laughed, shaking my head at Alice's outburst.

"Do you really think I set this up to insult you?" I asked, my voice calm yet filled with amusement.

Alice glared at me, her fists clenched. "Isn't it? Who else would?"

I leaned back in my chair, still smiling.

"Actually, this job is something Murphys and Shakira begged me to arrange for you. They didn't want you wandering around, getting into trouble." Alice's eyes widened, and she stared at me incredulously.

"That's not true. They would never..."
