Fell for the Alpha-less Queen

Chapter 147 That Name Again

Tessa headed to the hospital right after school.

But when she got there, she was met with an empty hospital room.

Her grandfather was gone.

After tracking down a nurse and pressing for answers, she learned Walter had already been discharged and sent home.

Tessa sighed, feeling a wave of helplessness crash over her. That old man was so damn stubborn. He hadn' wanted to stay in the hospital in the first place. It had taken her forever to convince him to stay for observation. And now, the moment she left for three days, he took the opportunity to sneak back home.

She flagged down a cab and rerouted to the Sinclair residence.

The moment she walked through the front door, Lila greeted her with a bright smile and immediately told the maid to bring water.

"Tessie, you're back! Have some water first-your grandfather's in the study."

Beauty Luxe was selling like crazy now, and with Tessa being the likely candidate for Sinclair Corp's next executive CEO, Lila's attitude had done a full one-eighty.

After all, no matter how she used to feel, Tessa was still her daughter. If the company ended up in Tessa's hands, maybe she'd still have a way to stay relevant. Maybe she'd even benefit from it.

"I'm not thirsty."

Tessa walked straight to Walter's private study. The room was lined with rare wolf clan artifacts and ancient

texts.
