Chapter 57 She Was Determined to Scize It

“Yeah.” Worried that Tessa wouldn’t understand his handwriting, Landon deliberately wrote slowly, making each character neat and tidy.
Even though she didn’t actually need these notes, seeing that he had personally filled an entire notebook for her still touched Tessa.
“Mr. Thorne, is this how you always pursue girls?”
“No. You’re the first, and you’ll be the last.”
He looked like a man of many affections, but in reality, he was deeply indifferent.
Tessa stayed silent, but deep down, she felt quite happy
“Thanks. I got your gift.” Not wanting to disappoint Landon, she accepted the notebook and decided to keep it as a memento.
Because of the upcoming exams, there were no evening classes for the next two days.
As soon as she stepped out of the exam hall, Walter’s call came through.
“Tessie, are you coming home tonight? I’ve already had the lawyer prepare everything. You can sign the share transfer agreement anytime.”
If he said he would give her shares, he would follow through.
“Grandpa, can I refuse?”
“Tessie, listen to me. I know you don’t care for these things, but this is my way of giving you some security.”
Ever since Tessa was born, a witch had prophesied that she would have no wolf. A werewolf without a wolf and without any other backing would struggle to survive in the werewolf world.
Other than himself, no one in the Sinclair family would truly care for Tessa.
He feared that after his death, she would be hurt.
He wanted to give her as much protection as he could while he was still alive.
With these shares, she would be a shareholder of Sinclair Corp, giving her at least some standing.
“Alright, I understand.” Tessa knew Walter’s intentions and couldn’t bring herself to refuse.
But before she could go home, Yardley’s call came in. “I’m at the back gate of your school. Come here
now.”
His commanding tone was grating.
Tessa walked to the back gate and immediately spotted Yardley’s black Mercedes.
As she approached, the driver stepped forward and opened the car door for her.

“I don’t like studying, you know that. Are you just trying to make me awful by asking this kind of
question?” She had never been able to give Yardley a pleasant attitude.
“Tessa, no matter what, I am your father. You’re acting completely uneducated.” Yardley’s expression darkened. “Don’t waste your days messing around outside. Learn from Winona. Look at how she studies. how she carries herself.”
They’re both my daughters, so why is the difference so big?
“Learn from her? Does she even have the qualifications” Tessa sneered.
That cold, mocking smile sent chills down his spine..
“I’m not here to argue. You are not to take that 20 percent share your grandpa is giving you.” That was his real reason for coming today.
“If Grandpa is giving it to me, then I will take it.”
As expected, the moment those words fell, Yardley’s face twisted with anger.
The more frustrated he became, the better Tessa felt.
“Tessa.” His voice carried a warning. “I told you. You are not to take that 20 percent. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
No matter who it was, if they threatened the Sinclair family’s interests, Yardley would not hold back.
He had long stopped seeing Tessa as his daughter. If those shares fell into her hands, it would be no different from them landing in an outsider’s.
This was something Yardley would never allow.
Tessa pushed open the car door and stepped out. Without looking back, she threw out a sharp parting shot, “Well then, prepare to be disappointed. Not only will I take the shares, but I’ll take Sinclair Corp too.”
The more they wanted to control something, the more she was determined to seize it, even if she didn’t care for it in the first place.
