?Chapter 506:


    Without missing a beat, Myles replied, “Understood.”


    While Cole was setting the new rules, Elliana was already out on the sidewalk, waving down an avable taxi. She had barely settled into the back seat when her phone buzzed to life. Adah’s name shed across the screen.


    Answering the call, Elliana pressed the phone to her ear just as Adah’s excited voice rang out. “Elliana, you won’t believe what’s happening today. It’s like the world turned upside down!”


    A smallugh escaped Elliana. “What’s got you so worked up?”


    Adah wasted no time. “We were going head-to-head with ze Wildfire on ten different projects, but out of nowhere, they’ve just backed out of every single one. Nopetition left.”


    Elliana’s eyebrows shot up in surprise. “They’ve pulled out of everything?”


    “Everyst project,” Adah responded. “And here’s the kicker—they’re actually treating our people with courtesy now.” She broke into augh. “Honestly, I’m starting to think ze Wraith might be Daniel—maybe you scared him so badly that he decided to hide!”


    Elliana answered with her usual calm, “No way. ze Wraith isn’t the kind of person Daniel could ever measure up to. Even a hundred Daniels would fall short of one ze Wraith.”


    “You give ze Wraith a lot of credit,” Adahmented.


    A brief pause followed before Adah added, “So, tell me, why do you think ze Wildfire would suddenly bow out of everything?”


    A thoughtful frown creased Elliana’s face. “That’s the million-dor question. For now, just keep an eye on their next move. Don’t getfortable, no matter how friendly they seem.”


    Adah didn’t hesitate. “Got it.”

    After hanging up, Elliana sat with her phone in hand, mulling over ze Wraith’s abrupt retreat. No matter how long she pondered, the reason behind the move remained elusive. Eventually, she let it go. Obsessing over ze Wraith wouldn’t get her any closer to answers. She suspected it wouldn’t be long before their paths crossed again anyway.


    Crossed again anyway. When that happened, she’d find out exactly what he was ying at.


    Setting those thoughts aside, Elliana suddenly realized she hadn’t updated Adah about the divorce. She pulled out her phone and typed a short message.


    “Cole and I are officially divorced.”


    For good measure, she snapped a picture of the divorce decree and sent it along.


    “Just got it—fresh off the presses.”


    Adah’s response came quickly.


    “You really went through with it?”
