Chapter 73 Surprise Guests
On Monday morning, as soon as Tessa arrived at school, Ysabel came looking for her.
“Tessie, who’s coming to the parent–teacher conference this afternoon from your family?”

“No one.” Tessa didn’t want to bother her grandfather, given his age, and she hadn’t even mentioned the meeting to Yardley and Lila.
“Oh, that’s okay! My uncle is coming, and I asked him to bring Nathaniel with him to cover for us,” Ysabel suggested.
It was indeed strange; her dad couldn’t make it due to a business trip, and considering Landon, the alpha of the Nightshade Pack and CEO of Thorne Corp, was even busier, it was surprising how quickly he agreed to help when she mentioned it.
It looks like my uncle really does care!
“It’s no trouble at all,” Tessa replied indifferently.
“Not at all,” Ysabel insisted warmly. “Tessie, you’re my friend, so my uncle is your uncle too. Wait up, I’ll call him right now.”
By noon, Landon and Nathaniel had joined them at Wisteria Apartment for lunch.
Seeing the two men dressed to the nines, both Tessa and Ysabel couldn’t help but smirk. It was just a parent- teacher conference. Did they really need to dress up so much?
“What do you think about our outfits today, Ysabel?” Nathaniel asked, standing up to show off his carefully chosen ensemble.
Ysabel settled back on the couch.
“Good heavens, someone might think you’re off to an awards ceremony!”
“Don’t we look good?”
Nathaniel was confident in his appearance, and though he might fall a bit short compared to Landon, he was still strikingly handsome.
Tessa glanced at Landon and chose not to comment. That man could wear the cheapest clothes from any street vendor and still exude an aristocratic air, attracting everyone’s gaze.
Turning to Nathaniel, she said, “Mr. Frost, thank you for stepping in as my guardian today.”
Nathaniel scratched his head. Had Landon not told her I was supposed to be Ysabel’s guardian?
And, he suspected Landon might be attending as Tessa’s future mate!
But since Landon hadn’t mentioned it, Nathaniel kept quiet.
“You’re welcome, I didn’t have much else today.”

Ysabel just huffed.
“Come on, let’s cat,” Landon interrupted, preventing any further chatter.

At 2 PM, the chauffeur drove Lila and Winona to Navoris High. Due to the conference, the school’s limited parking meant most cars were turned away at the gate.
After the driver parked, Lila and Winona stepped out. Navoris High was attended by students from either wealthy or influential werewolf families, and today, various luxury cars lined up at the entrance.
The Sinclair family’s car wasn’t the finest there.
“Winnic, you must connect with the Lawson family of the Thunder Pack. Only then can our family hope to regain its prominence,” Lila whispered, determined not to let other packs covet the alpha position.
“Mom, I understand.”
Winona, always among the top three in her class, was somewhat of a celebrity at Navoris High.
Parents familiar with Lila stopped to chat along the

way, praising how smart and beautiful Winona was,
Winona felt supremely satisfied, basking in the attention. Yes, she was the center of everyone’s attention. Tessa, on the other hand, would always be a stain on their reputation, her academic successes unnoticed and unappreciated.
Just then, a white Porsche Cayenne pulled up. Nathaniel, dressed sharply, stepped out and opened the door for Ysabel.
Following them, a silver Lamborghini arrived, and after the driver opened the door, Landon stepped out, followed by Tessa.

Some girls even started screaming. Is a celebrity filming here today?
Even without knowing who they were, their powerful auras and top–tier family backgrounds were unmistakable.
Hearing the commotion, Lila and Winona stopped and turned around. Seeing Tessa, Lila’s face darkened considerably.
