Chapter 58 1 Will Not Regret It
“Shameless boasting.” Yardley had no patience to argue with her. Tessa was just a minor without a wolf, a high school dropout at that. He refused to believe she could cause any real trouble.
By the time Tessa arrived at the Sinclair Residence, everyone was present except Cedric,
When they saw her, Yardley’s and Lila’s expressions darkened. How dare she have the audacity to accept it?
“Tessie, come over here and chat with me. Mr. Sergeant hasn’t arrived yet.”
“Dad, this 20 percent stake is too important to Sinclair Corp. Are you really going to just hand it over to her?”
Yardley refused to give up.
Walter ignored him. It was his asset; he could give it to whoever he pleased.
“Dad, Tessie is still young. Giving her something this valuable isn’t protecting her; it might be harming
her.”
“How would it harm her? You two don’t care about her, but as her grandpa, I do!”
“Dad, Sinclair Corp isn’t just our family’s anymore. The other shareholders are watching. If you give the shares to a little girl and they decide to act against her, none of us will be able to protect her.” Power struggles had always played out this way; he should have known.
Walter fell silent. After years in the business world, he understood its filth all too well.
And in the werewolf world, survival belonged to the strong.
“Tessie is your daughter. If either of you dares to lay a hand on her, I won’t forgive you.”
He wouldn’t live much longer. In the end, Tessie would be on her own. She had to become strong.
“Tessie, are you afraid?”
Tessa gripped her grandpa’s hand. “Grandpa, I’ve never been afraid.”
If growth meant facing these things, then so be it. She feared nothing. Besides, she was no longer the girl she had been five years ago. Now, she was strong enough to face it all.
Walter felt relieved. In Tessa, he saw a reflection of his younger self.
For some reason, he firmly believed that even though she had yet to awaken her werewolf power, she was destined for greatness.
“Tessa, have you thought this through?” Yardley’s gaze was ice–cold.
Just then, the lawyer arrived.
“Mr. Walter, are you certain?” The lawyer, Logan Sergeant, was also concerned about whether Tessa could hold on to what Walter was giving her.

tuition fee for you.”

With the lawyer as a witness, Walter and Tessa signed the agreement and pressed their fingerprints onto the document.
“Mr. Walter, please sign here.” Logan knew Walter had made up his mind and decided not to argue further.
“Ms. Sinclair, sign here.”–
“It’s done. The shares now belong to Ms. Sinclair.”
Walter had someone escort Logan out.
“From now on, Tessa is a shareholder of Sinclair Corp, having inherited my stake. Tessa, don’t disappoint me.”
Tired of the family tension, Walter, now older, went upstairs.
Tessa gathered her things and prepared to leave.
“Tessie, you’re still young. We’re just looking out for you. Let your dad hold on to the shares for you. You’re our daughter, and we wouldn’t harm you,” Lila said gently.
“That’s right! Let me keep them safe. Once you find a reliable partner and get married, I’ll return them to you untouched,” Yardley added.
Tessa couldn’t help but laugh. The world has always been this way.
Power and wealth dictated loyalty.
Faced with them, her parents looked utterly pathetic.
“What’s so funny? I’m doing this for your own good! Do you even understand how to run a company?” Yardley’s face stiffened as he tried to reassert his authority as her father.
