Delete My Love for You novel Chapter 171

“Is she yours?”

Bradley’s gaze was sharper than ever. “Mr. Harrington, whether she’s Lottie or Charlotte, she has the freedom to choose her own marriage and her own life. She doesn’t belong to anyone.”

With those words, Darren’s swaggering claim of ownership collapsed in an instant.

The smile vanished from Darren’s eyes.

Bradley, the famously discreet CEO of N-LINK—Avalor’s tech giant—was standing here, openly challenging Darren on his own turf.

He all but growled, his obsession bleeding through. “Calling him ‘honey’? You just can’t stop, can you? There’s no way you could care about him! You’re only fooling yourself!”
