I didn’t know whether Agnes or I was more important to Kenneth.

"Kenneth, maybe you should check on Irene. It’s been so many days. I’m fine now anyway."

"Lie down and rest. What do you mean you’re fine? Your condition relapsed because of her, and you’ve only just started recovering. Have you forgotten how much you suffered?

You don’t need to worry about her. I know what I’m doing. A few days in there won’t hurt her. I want her to remember this lesson well."

Every time Agnes offered to compromise, it hurt Kenneth’s heart.

Meanwhile, I had to bear the betrayal and false accusations alone.

“Please, I’m begging you. For my sake, go see her. I don’t want you two to keep growing further apart because of me.

"The more you do this, the more guilty I’ll feel!"

Kenneth remained silent. Agnes couldn’t read his expression. She waited for a long time before cautiously asking, "What is it? What’s the problem?"

“Nothing. I just think I should bring a doctor along this time. It’s been so many days. I don’t know what she might have done to herself. I have a bad feeling about this."

I was forced to watch everything from above.

Kenneth’s sudden unease made me wonder what kind of game he was playing.

Since he thought of bringing a doctor along, he probably assumed I would go to extreme lengths just to keep up the act.

With a doctor present, it would also be easier to confirm my cause of death.

I really wanted to see the look on his face once he found out I was dead.

Agnes patted Kenneth on the back. He lowered his head and let out a bitter laugh.

"If only Irene were half as understanding as you. She’s too stubborn. She refuses to suffer even the slightest loss."

"She’s your wife, after all. She’s afraid I’ll take you away, so she overpowers me and pushes me down. It’s all because of you. It proves she loves you."

Kenneth glanced at Agnes and let out a scoff.

"If she truly loved me, she should understand why I’m treating her this way. She should have apologized long ago!"

I watched Agnes from above. A wave of resentment rose in my heart.

I had never wanted to compete with her for Kenneth. I had witnessed how they grew up with a strong bond.

After I had learned of her existence, I even regarded her as a younger sister.

But I never expected that she would try to replace me at every turn.

It was all because she wanted to be the one by Kenneth’s side.

I had long had enough of her endless false accusations and Kenneth’s distrust.

Before Agnes was locked in the storage unit, I had already planned to ask Kenneth to sever our mate bond.

Even if he refused, I would go to a sorcerer and get the potion to forcibly break our mate bond.

Kenneth returned to his office alone. He stood by the floor-to-ceiling window and gazed at the view outside.

After a long while, the lights outside gradually dimmed.

He picked up the phone and called his secretary.

"What’s the situation in the freezer?"

"We just sent someone to check. Luna Irene refuses to say a word. There’s been no sound from inside at all."

Kenneth rubbed his temples and sighed.

"Ask her, what will it take for her to speak? Forget it, I’ll go there myself. Tell her, if I don’t hear the apology I want, she still won’t be let out!"

He hurriedly left his office.

Beyond his line of sight, Agnes silently appeared in the shadows.

While watching him leave, she let out a soft chuckle.

At the freezer, the guards saw Kenneth approaching and quickly led him to the door.

"Open the door. Let Irene out!"

One of them slowly pushed the door open. A wave of freezing air rushed out. It was so cold it made their eyes sting.

"Alpha Kenneth, the freezer’s cooling system has been activated!"

"What are you talking about? Wasn’t this a faulty freezer?"

The chilling air swirling at their feet sent shivers through everyone present.

"Irene, come out at once! Don’t think that just because the freezer is on, I’ll forgive you!"

Kenneth roared furiously at the entrance.

But silence was the only response he received.

No one dared to speak. Trembling, they quietly took a few steps back. They were afraid of being caught in Kenneth’s fury.

"Someone, go in and bring her out!"

The guards exchanged glances before wrapping their coats tightly around themselves and stepped inside.

Moments later, terrified screams could be heard from within.

“Alpha Kenneth, Luna Irene is–"
