Chapter 216: Lyra’s Last Words
(God’s POV)
Just as Theodore was about to speak, the Pack Enforcers he had shaken off earlier found him again.
“Alpha Redgrave, you cannot approach Miss Blackwood and Alpha Kane without permission! You’re still a suspect in this assassination case!” The enforcers warned. “Please leave now, or we’ll have to take you to the holding cells.”
Theodore looked at Olivia’s face. She wouldn’t look at him, wouldn’t trust him.
He stepped back in pain. “Olivia… he knows everything. He must have been tracking and monitoring us all along.”
“Not necessary. Alpha Redgrave probably doesn’t know how famous you are in our circle. After all, men who cheat and betray while pretending to be deeply in love are quite rare.” Ethan’s tone was full of sarcasm and targeting.
Theodore’s nerves were on edge, his hands clenched into fists at his sides, looking at Ethan with blazing
anger.
He neither knew Ethan nor had any dealings with him.
In Theodore’s eyes, Ethan was targeting him to curry favor with Matthew.
But his… the way he looked at Olivia… was too complicated…
His feelings toward Olivia made him uneasy.
“Still not leaving?” At this moment, Matthew raised his wrist. “Isn’t it 7:30?”
Ethan’s expression paused for a few seconds, then he came back to his senses and said gently, “Yes, if I keep
Seraphina waiting, she’ll probably complain about me to her mother.”
“I’m leaving.”
Ethan bent down to pick up the gun, but his hand was immediately targeted by the laser sight.
His expression instantly turned cold, but he could only put on a gentle face, straighten up and step back. “See you at Seraphina’s birthday party tomorrow night…”
“Luna.”
He chewed these two words in his mouth before spitting them out.
Ethan lifted his foot and left. After passing by them, that gentle face instantly darkened.
His mind was filled with what Lyra had promised him thirty years ago when she left.
[Ethan, you will be my only child
[Let me go. If I stay here, I’ll die at your father’s hands sooner or later.]
[I’m not his mate. I can’t stand by your side openly as your mother. I’m just the Mooncrest family’s sacrifice to him.]

Q’s Pos
How old was he then?
He had forgotten.
He only knew that on that snowy night, he let her go.
And she disappeared completely, as if she had never existed.
He became Alpha Moonstone’s real son, with no connection whatsoever to that genius she wolf from the
Mooncrest family who had appeared like a comet and then vanished.
Ethan walked far away, then suddenly turned back to look at Olivia beside Matthew. He didn’t know what was
wrong with him, why seeing Theodore made him instinctively want to defend her.
Blood ties?
Was it that magical?
But if he discovered she also possessed Lyra’s talent, he would definitely kill her with his own hands.
Just like the Key he had been tracking.
In the end, they would all meet the same fate at his hands. One person at the top was enough.
He hoped she only looked like Lyra.
“Olivia, can I speak with you alone?” Even though warned by the enforcers, Theodore still refused to leave. “It’s about Lyra
‘She didn’t just leave a will.”
Hearing this, Olivia looked at Theodore, her hand tightly gripping Matthew’s arm. “There’s nothing my mate
can’t hear
Matthew looked at her hand holding his arm and raised his hand, causing the enforcers to step back.
Theodore watched Olivia holding Matthew’s hand as she walked step by step toward him.
He reached out to take her hand, but stopped mid–air
He couldn’t let her discover that he had installed surveillance in her office, and he definitely couldn’t let her
know he had hired hackers to track her.
“Lyra didn’t want you to engage in any work related to tactics and advanced technology. You always listened to her the most. End Shield Chain Technology, give up computers. Whatever kind of company you want, I can
give it to you.”
He even played a recording about Lyra.
Hearing the recording, Olivia’s eyes widened in shock
“You’re lying!” Olivia’s palm instantly pressed against Theodore’s cheek.
Theodore grasped Olivia’s hand, his gaze meeting her angry and pained eyes.
She struggled, so he released his grip.
This was all he could say.
1 touch computers, no one would ever discover her identity.
His fingertips still held the warmth of her paim, but it scattered with the wind, so quickly fade the imagination
“My mother would never want me to give up my career. Every time 1 train, her eyes light up. She always tell me I’m the most talented agent she’s ever seen. Olivia trembled with anger, but her hand was held by Matthew,
She calmed down. She couldn’t let anyone know her identity
“The recording must be fake, synthesized!*
“Why do you have to interfere with the only thing I care about?”
Olivia thought of Clara. “I left, severed our mate bond, fulfilled your wishes to you could be with Clara openly”
“Why are you still chasing me? Even arranging an assassination plot? Olivia looked at Theodore in disbelief. “Risking your life to act devoted?”
“If you were truly devoted, there wouldn’t be Clara, and there wouldn’t be Rosalie.”
Theodore didn’t know how to explain his impulses. Every time he was with Clara, the person in his mind was always her.
But she was so fragile, he couldn’t touch her.
His feelings for her had nowhere to go.
His hand, suspended in mid–air, slowly dropped from where her heart was. “I’m not with Clara. That daughter
was originally meant for you. If you don’t want her, I won’t acknowledge her either.”
“The person I love, from beginning to end, has only been you.”
“Lyra’s recording is real. If you don’t believe it, you can have it tested.” Theodore handed his phone to Olivia,
but she knocked it away.
“Impossible!” Olivia’s eyes reddened, her whole being in chaos. “My mother left me the tech company Shield
Chain…”
“That’s the company I left for you…”
“Lyra didn’t just have one company under her name, but several tech companies. Before she passed away, she asked me to shut them all down.”
“But this company is called Shield Chain. Don’t you remember?”
“You said you would definitely become stronger and become the Shield Chain that protects everyone.” Theodore recalled the past, his lips carrying sweetness. “You were only sixteen then.”
“Olivia, Lyra gave me everything under her name. The inheritance you received – that apartment is mine, and Shield Chain is what I privately kept.” Theodore grasped Olivia’s hand. “She believed I would take care of you
for life.”
Theodore’s words shattered the only beam of light in Olivia’s heart.
They stood there, gazing deeply into each other’s eyes.
He watched her tearful gaze gradually dim, her body swaying unsteadily, then the next moment she was embraced by Matthew.

Her hand slipped from his and was wrapped in Matthew’s palm.
He watched as she was lifted by Matthew and carried to the car.
He saw her curl up in his embrace, heartbroken and utterly desperate.
He understood her better than anyone – her preferences, her habits, and her weaknesses.
An eighteen–year–old orphan’s only source of strength was her mother.
And he had personally shattered that belief.
The recording on his phone continued playing, like a broken record, repeating over and over.
[Theodore, after I die, help me shut down all the companies under my name.
[This should have been something I handled myself.]
[Unfortunately, I don’t have that much time left.]
Back then, he had asked her, [Mother Lyra, aren’t these companies supposed to be left to Olivia? Didn’t you plan to send Olivia abroad for further education, hoping she would develop in the high–tech field?]
[No need to leave them for her. She doesn’t need them.]
[If she returns to your side, don’t let her touch computers or anymore.]
Olivia had heard up to this point.
