Chapter 314 Useless Words

“Relax. I’ve got Michael watching my back here in Yalvaria–no one dares lay a hand on me.” Samuel’s voice was light, but his words carried sharpness. “I just called because I’m worried about you. That bastard still hasn’t given up.”
“I know. Don’t worry about me. No one can hurt me–even he can’t.” As long as she didn’t want to be caught, she wouldn’t be. “Just make sure you take care of yourself. Don’t let him catch you.”
She’d followed Samuel to Yalvaria and entered the infamous Hell Training Camp–enduring trials that most people would have crumbled under.
That was also where she first met that twisted, obsessive man…
A man who understood her too well–and knew Samuel was her only weakness.
“Relax. I won’t let anyone use me to threaten you.” Samuel wasn’t as strong as Tessa, but he knew how to
survive.
Besides, he always carried a special escape serum–something he’d developed himself. Even against an alpha king, he could still buy enough time to slip away.
“Mm. I’m hanging up now,” Tessa said, about to end the call.
“What? You haven’t seen me in forever, and you’re not even gonna say you missed me? You can’t give me one nice word?” Samuel grumbled, obviously annoyed.
He worried about her day and night, and she could be so… cold.
“What do you want then?” Tessa asked with forced patience. Only with Samuel did she ever try to hold it

“What? It’s just a sentence! You can’t even give me that? I’d throw my life away for you, but when it comes
to you-
“Samuel, you’re not a child anymore.” And with that, she hung up without a second thought.
She didn’t need to hear whatever immature nonsense he had lined up next.
Samuel stared at the dial tone in disbelief. She’d actually hung up.
He yanked the phone away from his ear and saw the call had ended.
“Damn it!” he growled, frustrated. “Tessa, you’re too ruthless! You really hung up on me! I swear, I’ll—”
But halfway through his rant, he fizzled out like a deflated balloon.
What was the point? No matter how many threats he made, if Tessa called, he’d drop everything and run

to her anyway.
Sigh…
Samuel slumped back, feeling tragically defeated.
“Tessa, you heartless brat… Being your friend is more exhausting than being your dad…”

The next morning, Landon arrived early to drive Tessa to Sinclair Corp.
“I’ll come pick you up after the shareholders‘ meeting ends,” he said as they pulled up outside the building.
He knew she didn’t want him involved in this matter, so this was his compromise.
“Okay. Go handle your own stuff,” she said. As Nightshade Pack’s alpha and the CEO of Thorne Corp, he had far more on his plate than she did.
“Mm.” Landon nodded. After she got out of the car, he drove away.
