Chapter 315 A Line Crossed
Yardley''s face twisted with fury, his werewolf aura ring wildly with agitation.
He''d already spelled things out as inly as possible-so why couldn''t she understand?
How could someone be this greedy?

"What I''m saying is, now that you already have Thorne Corp, why must you fight me for Sinir Corp too? Sinir Corp is my life''s work-I can''t lose it!"
Tessa''s eyes shed cold, a steely chill settling into the air around her. The subtle but terrifying pressure she released made the temperature drop sharply.
"Your life''s work? You can''t be serious," she said, voice sharp. "Why don''t you go ahead and tell me what exactly you''ve done for Sinir Corp?"
If it weren''t for him, Sinir Corp wouldn''t be in the miserable state it was today.
"And another thing," she added, eyes narrowing, "who told you Thorne Corp is mine? Did you give it to
me?"
How could he say something so shameless with a straight face? What did he take her for?
"Tessa, I truly believe that Alpha Mr. Landon treats you well. If you could be his mate—even if you can''t, just staying by his side-he would never let you suffer."
Tessa felt an actual headacheing on.
Was this really something a father should be saying?
He wanted his daughter to be someone else''s mistress?
"Yardley, enough with the nonsense. I''m taking Sinir Corp. That''s final."
"You-" Yardley''s chest heaved with fury, his aura spiraling out of control. "Tessa, how can you be so heartless? I''m still your father! Are you really going to push me to the edge? Will you only be satisfied when I jump off the top of Sinir Corp''s building?!"
"Jump?" Tessa''s tone turned icy. "So now you''re threatening me?"
Yardley didn''t answer. But he couldn''t live without Sinir Corp.
He couldn''t afford to lose.
"Remember this-if I can''t remain president of Sinir Corp, I''ll jump off the building. I''ll make sure you live with the guilt for the rest of your life."
Tessaughed-a low, biting sound.
"Even if you jumped, nothing would change. You know me. My heart has always been cold. Even if you dropped dead right in front of me, it wouldn''t disturb my peace in the slightest."

With that, she walked past him without another nce.

"Tessa, how can you be so cruel? I''m your father! How can you treat me like this?" Yardley roared after her, red light gleaming in his eyes, fangs slightly bared. Tufts of fur began to sprout from his neck.
He was losing control.
But Tessa didn''t so much as flinch. Nothing he said could change the fact that she was taking Sinir Corp back.
Yardley stood frozen, seething.
He was the male alpha of the Sinir family. He should''ve been the Frostmoon Pack''s alpha.
If not for the injury he sustained in the vampire war five years ago, would he be in this pathetic state now?
Sinir Corp was all he had left-and he was not letting it go.
With hisst thread ofposure, he pulled out his phone and called Liam, voiceced with madness.
"Go to the Sinir estate. Take the old man. Now."
If Tessa wouldn''t give him a way out, then he''d make one. Even if it meant crossing a line.
He would not lose Sinir Corp.
As he spoke, his eyes glinted with a frenzied light. Spit trickled past his exposed fangs from the sheer force of his rage.
"You really want to go that far?" Liam hesitated, disturbed by the order. Walter was his father, after all.
"What, you think you''ll still have a job here if I get kicked out of Sinir Corp? You and I-we''re already on the same sinking ship."
"...Fine. I''ll go now."
After a long pause, Liam gave in.
Once everything was set in motion, Yardley finally felt a little calmer.
No matter what-
He had to win this time.
So what if Tessa had Alpha Landon behind her?
He wasn''t going to give up everything he once owned.
Not after begging her, only to be so thoroughly rejected.
If she wouldn''t give him a chance...
Then she could me no one but herself when he chose the most extreme way to
win.
