Chapter 864 Unspoken Truths
Cedric sighed helplessly, “Grandpa, I just don’t think things have to be like this between family.”
“You really think Tessa would smear your father’s name just for Sinclair Corp? Cedric, let me tell you if it weren’t for me, Tessa would’ve already joined the International Werewolf Medical Organization! Do you know who Smith is, the founder of that organization? He personally came to perform surgery on me just to convince Tessa to be his successor!”
Compared to the International Werewolf Medical Organization, Sinclair Corp was nothing. Even ten Frostmoon Packs couldn’t compare to a fraction of that group’s strength.
Cedric looked stunned. “But… but didn’t Tessa not even awaken as a wolf? Why would Smith want her as his heir?”
Seeing the disbelief on his face, Walter only felt more disappointed.
“Cedric, haven’t you noticed anything different about Tessa since you came back? She’s already awakened –and her wolf rank is higher than yours or mine!”
“What?!” Cedric’s pupils shrank. “Then why didn’t she tell any of us?”
“She’s always been low–key. If certain people hadn’t forced her hand, she never would’ve shown her true strength.”
Walter stopped walking and his voice turned cold. “Don’t bring up your father again. He kidnapped me and tried to threaten Tessa–what right does he have to come back for Christmas? There’s no reason to let one man ruin the peace of this whole family.”
“Go back downstairs. I’ll get Tessa myself.”
Tessa was such a sharp and perceptive girl–she must’ve figured out what Cedric meant the moment he brought it up.
That child never cared for people who didn’t treat her sincerely, even if that person was her own brother.
“Okay.”
Cedric didn’t say another word. He turned and walked back downstairs, dazed, struggling to process everything he’d just learned…
But just when Cedric had dropped the topic, Lila brought it up again at lunch.
“Dad, maybe we should let Yardley come home for Christmas. We’re still a family. This can’t go on forever.”
Walter slammed his utensils down on the table with a loud snap.
“What’s wrong with all of you? Don’t you and Cedric know exactly what Yardley did? He’s a traitor–why should he be allowed back?”
“Grandpa, don’t get so worked up. It’s not good for your health,” Tessa said gently, trying to soothe him.
Seriously, is there anyone in this family who’s thinking straight?

“Dad, I know you’re angry, but werewolves value family and their pack above all else. If you keep refining to let Yardley come home, the Sinclairs will be a laughingstock–not just in Frostmoon Pack, but in all of Navoris
“I’m done eating.” Walter got up like he hadn’t even heard her and went upstairs.
Tessa followed, trying to calm him down.
Watching her, Walter’s heart ached.
“Tessa, I’m sorry.” If it weren’t for him insisting she return, she wouldn’t have to shoulder all of this.
Tessa gently held his hand.
“Grandpa, I don’t mind.” Whatever other people had to say–she truly didn’t care.
“You… How can a girl be so strong it breaks my heart?” He really did hurt for her.
He hurt for his Tessa.
“Grandpa, as long as you stay well, leave everything else to me, okay?”
“Okay.”
