NovelStartChapter 295 The Cost of Revenge Winona struggled with all her might. "You're the one who deserves to die! Tessa, just die already! Only if you're dead will everything in the Sinclair family belong to me. Only if you're dead will people finally see me! I liked Evan first! Who gave you the right to steal him from me?!" She couldn't accept it. She refused to accept it.
With one swift motion, Tessa disarmed her and snatched the dagger away. Then she kicked Winona off the bed. Winona collapsed on the floor in a mess, sobbing uncontrollably.
She was so loud that Tessa started getting a headache. She grabbed a cleaning towel lying nearby and stuffed it into Winona's mouth.
"What are you screaming for? You sound like a dying pig. Winona, you've really grown bold, haven't you? But tell me-do you honestly think you're a match for me?" Tessa casually twirled the Wolfsbane-coated dagger in her hand, then slapped it lightly against Winona's twisted face. "Why don't you ever learn your lesson? You already know you can't beat me, yet you keep coming back for more. So tell me, what should I do with you this time? Cripple your other hand? Or turn you in to the police?" Winona shook her head frantically.
No, she couldn't let that happen.
One hand was already ruined-if she lost the other, her life would be completely over.

Tessa looked down at the trembling girl with cool indifference.
If it weren't for the fact that they were both Walter's granddaughters, she would've never let someone who tried to harm her multiple times off the hook.
But if she crippled Winona's other hand, Walter would be heartbroken.
And if this ended up at the police station, the Sinclair family's nwould be dragged through the mud. Walter might have lost faith in the rest of the family, but he still cared about them- and he definitely cared about the family's reputation.
In werewolf society, a family wasn't just a continuation of bloodlines. It was the foundation of a pack's strength. The Sinclair family's standing within the Frostmoon Pack was already on shaky ground. If their nwas further tainted, the other noble families in the Frostmoon Pack would seize the opportunity to take them down-and replace them as the alpha house.
That was something Walter absolutely couldn't accept.

The bathroom had no heater. The air inside was icy cold, and Winona shivered uncontrollably as she spent the entire night freezing on the floor.
Early the next morning, Lila went to wake Winona for breakfast, only to find her room empty. She immediately searched the house from top to bottom.
"What's going on? She was definitely hlast night. How could she just disappear?" Yardley was running out of patience with Winona.
Now that he knew the man around Tessa was the alpha of the Nightshade Pack, Yardley had shifted all his attention to her.
If Alpha Mr. Thorne were willing to offer even the smallest bit of support to the Sinclair family, they could instantly reclaim their former glory.

"I don't know. She's been in a bad mood lately. You know she injured her hand because of Tessa..." Just then, Tessa cdownstairs with Walter. As soon as Lila saw her, she hurried over.
"Tessie! Have you seen Winona? I can't find her anywhere!" "Oh, she's in my bathroom," Tessa replied without hesitation.
"What? What do you mean?" Walter was stunned. "Winnie? In your room?" There was no love lost between the two girls. It wasn't like they'd ever share a bed.
"Yeah. Last night she tried to slash my face with this dagger. I caught her in the act. Didn't want to wake e everyone so tied her up and left her in the bathroom." Tessa casually spun the dagger in her hand-the one still reeking of Wolfsbane.
Lila didn't waste a second. The moment she heard Wingna was tied up in the bathroom, she rushed straight to Tessa's room. Walter, meanwhile, stared at the blade in her hand and caught the bitter scent on it.
"Why does that smell like Wolfsbane?" His expression changed instantly.
