Chapter 327 Safe and Sound
As soon as Tessa stepped out of the meeting room, her phone rang. It was Landon.
She answered immediately.

“We’ve found your grandfather–he’s safe, don’t worry. Nathaniel’s already on his way from Sinclair Corp to pick you up. You’ll be reunited with him soon,” Landon said, keeping his voice low. He had stepped out to take the call, not wanting the old man to overhear.
But Walter already knew. Ever since Yardley’s secretary had shown up from the Sinclair family to fetch him, and now with Landon arriving so publicly, it was obvious. He wasn’t a fool.
And all he felt was bitter disappointment.
He had clearly failed in raising his grandson. If he hadn’t, things never would’ve spiraled this far out of control.
While Landon had been sitting with him, Walter had kept up the conversation, but not once did he dare bring up what Yardley had done.
Now that Landon had stepped away, Walter’s face darkened. He was truly heartbroken.
When Tessa heard Landon’s words, the tension that had been clutching her chest finally eased.
“Thank you, Mr. Landon.” Her grandfather was her greatest concern. If anything had happened to him, she didn’t know what she might have done.
“I told you—don’t ever thank me. Your grandfather and I will be waiting for you.”
“Alright.”
As they spoke, Tessa exited Sinclair Corp. The car Landon had sent was already waiting.
Nathaniel stepped out to greet her himself.
“Let’s go. Don’t worry–he’s safe,” Nathaniel reassured her. He knew her grandfather’s safety was her top priority.
“Thank you.”
Tessa climbed into the car and leaned back, eyes closed, trying to recover.
After sealing Yardley’s berserk wolf form, her mental energy felt like a drained reservoir. Her temples throbbed, and a faint metallic taste lingered in her nose–the telltale sign of using white wolf power.
Thank God her grandfather was unharmed. If he hadn’t been, even at the cost of overexerting herself, she would’ve shattered Yardley’s wolf soul. He would’ve paid.
Nathaniel glanced at her pale face in the rearview mirror, assuming she was quietly grieving.
“Tessa, don’t be sad,” he offered, unsure how to comfort her. Knowing her father had done something like

this to her grandfather… it had to hurt, even if she looked calm on the surface.
“I’m fine.”

Tessa didn’t open her eyes. It was clear she didn’t want to continue the conversation. Since she didn’t want to talk, Nathaniel didn’t push her.
Landon had brought the old man to one of his villas. He didn’t visit often, but it was well–maintained and had staff ready to serve.
Knowing Tessa was on her way, the old man stayed seated on the couch, waiting.
“Grandpa, maybe you should lie down for a while. I’ll wake you when Tessa arrives,” Landon suggested gently. The old man had been through surgery not long ago and must’ve been exhausted.
“Landon, thank you for always being by Tessa’s side.” If it hadn’t been for Landon, Walter didn’t know how his granddaughter would’ve made it through.
