After I Amazed the World the Cold Alpha Regretted

Chapter 152

Andrew hesitated, clearly trying to regain his footing in the conversation.

"I heard that you were injured, and since I'm in the area for an international conference, I thought I'd check in on you."

Leo's eyes narrowed slightly as he scanned his father. "The injury's not serious. I'm still alive."

Andrew smiled tightly, trying to mask his growing irritation. "I heard the robbers in this area are pretty violent. Quite a scare, I'm sure." Leo's lip curled slightly. "It wasn't just some random robbery, though, was it?"

rew raised an eyebrow in curiosity. "Do you know who was behind it?"

Leo reached into his jacket and pulled out a small, clear plastic bag, which he handed to Andrew.

Inside were several bullets, gleaming ominously under the hospital lights.

"These," Leo said coolly, "are Sharik's bullets."

The name sent a jolt of surprise through me.

Sharik? Leo's older brother who had been exiled from the Silvermoon Pack years ago?

Andrew's expression darkened considerably.

"Sharik? That's impossible. He left the pack a long time ago. There's no way he would come after you now. He's your brother!"

Leo's eyes flashed with anger. "He's *your* son. Didn't you drive him away as well?"

Andrew's voice rose in frustration.

"I didn't drive him away! I merely removed him as Alpha heir and chose to train you instead. He's the one who couldn't handle it and left!" The smell of gunpowder between father and son intensified while I was still in shock.

Could it be his elder brother Sharik who did the deed to hurt Leo?

If it's true, then..... Is he returning for the position of Silver Moon Alpha?

Leo scoffed, his gaze cutting through the room like ice.

"And what difference does that make? He's still out there, and now he's coming after me."

Before Andrew could respond, the door opened, and a doctor stepped in to check on Leo's injuries.

I helped him up, guiding him to the examination room as the tension in the air remained thick and stifling.

As the doctor began the check-up, Andrew and I stood in the hallway.

The door had barely closed behind us when Andrew's mask of civility fell completely.

His expression was one of thinly veiled anger as he turned to face me.

"Miss Elizabeth," he began, his voice low and dangerous, "I've had just about enough of you. What will it take for you to leave Leo alone?"

I stared at him, stunned by the audacity of his words.

"Excuse me? You're blaming me? It's "your" son who's been chasing after *me*, not the other way around. I'm hiding here, and he's the one following me around, so maybe point your finger somewhere else."

Andrew's eyes narrowed as he regarded me.

After a moment, he sighed as if he had reached a reluctant decision.

"You get married as soon as you can! Marry whoever you want! When you marry, he'll be dead in the water! If you can marry within ten days, I give you ten million. If you marry within a month, I'll give you five million. If you marry within two months, you'll only get one million. Don't think I don't know that it's most direct to dump money to deal with a gold digging, vain woman like you."

His tone was scornful, and the implication behind his words was clear he saw me as nothing more than a gold digger.

I opened my mouth, ready to tear into him, but before I could get a word out, a voice boomed from behind us, making my heart stop.

"Andrew," the voice growled, "I'll give you*

one hundred million to get out of my daughter's face and never show up again."

The hospital hallway seemed to stretch forever, filled with the sterile scent of disinfectant and the muted hum of machines.

I stood frozen, shocked as Orlando, my father, approached us with an aura of authority that made Andrew's earlier intimidation seem like child's play.

ando's dark blue suit clung perfectly to his frame, his steps exuding the confidence of a man who had nothing to prove.

His eyes, a mix of calculated calm and concealed anger, immediately put me at ease.

I couldn't suppress the relief that surged through.

1. me.

It felt as though I had finally found a safe harbor amidst the tension that had thickened in the room.

I quickly crossed the distance between us, a smile spreading on my face as I threw my arms around him. "Father! What brings you here?" I asked, my voice filled with surprise and delight.
