Chapter 278 Tessa''s Revenge ns


    Winona stood frozen in ce, too terrified to say a single word.


    Finished


    Landon''s alpha pressure had only red for an instant, but everyone-Winona included-had felt the suffocating weight of it.


    Until now, she''d always assumed Landon was just a handsome, ordinary werewolf; but the power he''d just released struck fear into her very bones-made her want to submit,


    That kind of pressure could onlye from a werewolf far, far above her in rank...


    Walter looked Landon over, clearly surprised.


    He''d thought Landon was just a regr member of the Nightshade Pack. But that moment of sheer alpha dominance made Walter realize-Landon wasn''t someone simple.


    "Mrs Sinir, take her home. Keep a closer eye on her next time; otherwise, don''t me me for what happens," Landon said coldly to L.


    L had also been shaken by the force radiating off of him.


    She didn''t dare say a word; she grabbed Winona and quickly left. Who exactly was this man Mr. Walter casually called Landie? How could he possess that kind of power?


    Tessa and the others stayed in the room with Walter for a while longer. Walter was getting older, and he liked having people around. But by the time it was past ten at night, it was clear he needed rest-and they needed to leave.


    "You all should head home. Tessie and Ysabel have finals tomorrow, right? Do your best on the tests; if you ace them, I''ll treat you both to a big feast."


    He hated to part with them, but still waved them off.


    "Okay, grandpa. You get some rest; I''lle back and see you soon."


    She still had a few things to deal with; now that Walter was recovering this well, she felt truly at ease.


    "Landie, take good care of Tessa. I don''t care who you are-if you ever hurt her, I''ll risk my life to make you pay," Walter said.


    He''d already guessed Landon''s identity-someone of a rank even he, back when he led the Snowmoon Pack, had nevere close to.


    Even though he''d seen for himself how much Landon cared about Tessa, he still had to say the words-still had to warn him.


    "Don''t worry, grandpa. I''ll treat Tessa right-I swear it." Landon started to lift his hand, ready to make an oath..


    Walter stopped him. "Alright, alright. I know you two are good kids. Now go on-l need to get some rest."


    After they left the hospital room, Tessa stopped by to check on Steven.

    a few more days of rest, r''d be good as new.


    Tessa chatted with him brefly before heading out.


    Finished


    She didn''t have time, to deal with the person who hurt Steven just yet; but she


    could at least send a little warning to whoever was behind it.


    Landon hadn''t told her who ordered the attack-but she could guess.


    Avery Band was under SkyEcho Entertainment, and SkyEcho''s biggest shareholder now was Evan-the alpha of Thornbane Pack.


    Before the concert, Avery had signed a high-stakes agreement with SkyEcho Entertainment, if the show didn''t go on, SkyEcho Entertainment would gain ownership of the bandpletely-turning them into a money-printing machine locked into service forever.


    So if Steven''s hand got injured... the person who stood to gain the most was Evan.


    Tessa''s eyes narrowed dangerously.


    "What is it?" Landon, who was driving, noticed the shift in her mood. He nced sideways at her.


    "It''s nothing. Just tired."


    "It is gettingte. Try to rest; I''ll make you breakfast in the morning."


    "Mr. Thorne, you really don''t have to-"


    "But making you breakfast makes me feel happy," Landon cut her off, voice warm and tender.


    Meeting his deep, affectionate gaze, Tessa''s heart skipped a beat; she quickly looked away. "Do what you want."


    Landon smiled, in a very good mood, when he noticed the tips of her ears turning red.


    The next morning, Landon made Tessa a nutritious breakfast, then personally drove her to the testing site before heading off to Thorne Corp.


    As soon as he stepped into the office, Nathaniel rushed in, full of excitement. "Alpha! Did you hear? Zane Corp''s system got hacked again! Who do you think''s got it out for Evan this bad? Every few days, they break into his system! I bet he didn''t sleep at allst night!"


    "Phantom, probably."


    Who else could it be? Didn''t Evan already hire top-tier cybersecurity experts?


    And yet, they still hadn''t managed to catch Phantom.


    "You think it''s really him?" Nathaniel got even more hyped. Looked like Phantom couldn''t stand Evan either.


    No wonder he''s my idol, his taste in people is spot-on!


    Thanks to the repeated hacks, Zane Corp was in chaos; they didn''t even need to lift a finger-Zane Corp was already falling apart on its own...
