Chapter 11 Shadows of the Past: Tessa's Awakening

After finishing her assignment, Tessa sat on her bed and began playing a game.

A knock at the door interrupted her. She got up and opened it.

"Tessa, it's me," came her grandfather's voice.

Hearing him. Tessa stepped aside to let Walter in. "Grandpa, what's wrong?"

Walter leaned on her for support as he entered the roo

"Tessa, tell me what really happened five years ago. You re my granddaughter, and I won't let those who wronged you go unpunished."

"Grandpa, you don't need to worry about it. I can handle it myself." Walter was already old; there was no need for him to stress over her troubles..

"I know you've been hurt," Walter said with a heavy heart. "Five years ago, I wasn't here to protect you. But now that I'm back, no one will dare bully you.

Don't let yourself suffer, understand? A girl your age should enjoy dressing up and being happy."

Tessa's throat tightened at the warmth she hadn't felt in so long. Even someone as strong as her couldn't help but feel touched.

"Thank you, Grandpa."

Although she was already far wealthier than the entire Sinclair family combined, she couldn't bring herself to refuse his kindness.

Finding a quiet corner, Tessa answered.

"Phantom, did you offend someone recently?" Lina asked.

"I offend people every day," Tessa replied dryly. Even if she didn't provoke anyone, trouble always found
