Chapter 307 When the Hunter Is Hunted +8 Pearls "Nathaniel!" Landon shot him a warning glance. Does he really not know what should and shouldn't be said? Nathaniel immediately fell silent.
Ysabel looked at him, then turned to her uncle. "Uncle Landon, just let Nathaniel finish. Tessa deserves to know." She knew Uncle Landon had done so much for Tessa without expecting anything in return-but letting her be moved by it a little wouldn't hurt, right? "I'm getting hungry. You and Nathaniel go pick up safternoon tea" Landon waved it off with a casual excuse to get the two of them out.
"That kind of thing's what assistants are for..." Ysabel grumbled, but Nathaniel had already grabbed her and pulled her out the door.
Now it was just Tessa and Landon in the office.
"Avery Band's contract is taken care of. You don't need to worry anymore." After what happened last time, Landon had realized Avery Band wasn't just a band to her. She had real feelings for them.
So no matter the cost, he had to help break them free from Thornbane Pack's grasp.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe'd heard everything earlier-that's why she had asked.
"Mr. Thorne, whatever Evan asked you for... I bet it wasn't simple, was it?" Now that everything was done, there was no point in saying tic things. But whatever Evan got from Landon today-she'd make sure to take it back double someday.
"It wasn't anything major. Evan's already taken a hard fall. Even if I agreed to his terms, he's still on his way down." Even with his withdrawal from the investment, the Morrigan Group had already suffered massive damage. At this point, Evan was just trying to survive. He posed no real threat anymore.
"Got it." Tessa already understood exactly how powerful the man in front of her was.
But still, if someone dared to touch what was hers, she didn't like it one bit.
So just as Evan was finally starting to recover and catch his breath after pulling out of the investment...
One of his subordinates rushed in.
"Alpha! Something's wrong with Thornbane Pack's defensive barrier! And we can't find the source of the attack!" The guard was trembling from head to toe. Who had they pissed off lately? First the Morrigan Group gets hit, and now the Thornbane headquarters? "What?" Evan couldn't believe his ears. He'd just humbled himself to settle things with Landon-and now 1/2 09:14 Tue, 13 May D.
11% Chapter 307 When the Hunter Is Hunted +8 Pearls He cursed furiously, his wolf howling within him-yet it still couldn't sniff out the enemy, "Couldn't it be Landon?" "No... we've been watching him and the Nightshade Pack nonstop. Nothing unusual. Someone else hit us from the shadows." The one they were bracing for hadn't even made a move. And yet, someone else had slipped in a blade from the dark.
Evan felt completely drained. "Fine. Bookthe fastest flight back to Los Anville!" If he didn't deal with this crisis fast, he could kiss his alpha scat goodbye.
Right now, the fire was under his ass. He didn't even have tto figure out who was after him.
All it had taken was a simple command-and Thornbane Pack's barrier had been compromised. Only then did Tessa feel satisfied.
Since Evan made her uncomfortable, there was no way he was getting away without a scratch.
With that done, she finally turned back to the song she'd written for Avery Band- ready to start writing the lyrics.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut then Nathaniel burst back into the room, clearly agitated. His wolf soul radiated frantic energy.
Tessa put down her work. This is the first tI've ever seen Nathaniel this worked up.
"What happened?" she asked.
Nathaniel might seem carefree, but as, Landon's beta-an elite who'd he was seen it all. What could possibly shake him like this? "Where's alpha? I need to talk to him-urgent!" "He stepped out for a bit." "We're screwed. If alpha's not here, this could be a total disaster."
"What's going on?" Tessa frowned.
This is way too out of character for him. But whatever it is, he needs to En spit it out before we can fix it.
"Someone's trying to hack into Thorne Corp's external system! m think it's Phantom But we haven't done anything to offend Phantom lately-why would they do this?!" He was clearly panicking. He idolized Phantom-had even dreamed of working with them someday.
And now, his hero was attacking Thorne Corp...
"Phantom?" Tessa frowned.
I'm sitting right here. Who else in this world could possibly impersonate me?
