bSo /bbAvery/bb–/bthe zing star of the entertainment world was actually the heir bto /bthe Gray bWolf /bMercenary bCorps/bb? /bbThis /bworld really bwas /bfull of surprises.

But when Ms. Tessa finished reading through the files, she wasn’t even shocked.

She had always sensed there was something unusual about Avery. Now, it was just confirmation.

b“/bYou okay? You’ve got a look on your face,” Lina asked, concern in her voice.

“I’m fine.”

Ms. Tessa shut theputer, got up from the chair, and was about ito /ileave.

Seeing that, Lina called out quickly, “Tessa, you’re leaving already? You didn’t even spend two minutes with me!” After all this time, she shows up just to run a search and then leaves? Cold–hearted!

Ms. Tessa nced back at her.

“Well, now you’ve seen me, I’ve got things to do today, so I’m not sticking around for lunch.” And with that, she walked off–cool and collected.

Leaving Lina behind in a daze.

She really was the definition of es and goes like the wind.”

Meanwhile, Landon had also gotten hold of Avery’s background. As soon as he confirmed the intel, he rushed back to Wisteria Apartment to tell Ms. Tessa.

They arrived almost at the same time. Since the housekeeper was out, Landon brought dinner back with him.

During the meal, Ms. Tessa seemed distracted.

“What’s wrong? Did something happen at TS Entertainment?”

“No, it’s Avery. He’s actually the heir to the Gray Wolf Mercenary Corps!” She didn’t n on hiding this from Landon.

“So you already found out.” He gave a small smile. This girl could dig up anything–she barely even needed him.

“What do you mean? You found out too?”

“I knew it was bugging you, so I had Nathaniel look into it. You’re not mad, are you?b” /b

Ms. Tessa shook her head.

Of course she wasn’t mad–he did it for her.

“Of course not.”

“But even knowing he’s the heir to the Gray Wolf Mercenary Corps… I still don’t understand why he left the band.”

With Landon around, there really wasn’t much to worry about.

bIf /bbshe /bwas heading to Yalvaria, he’d have to start preparing to deal with his responsibilities back home. bNo /bbway /bwas he letting her go alone.

Especially with Nathan still over there.

He didn’t know exactly what history she had with Nathan, but that didn’t matter. He just couldn’t let her go off without him.

“Navoris… I’m still deciding which university.”

She wanted to stay in the country.

To be honest, hearing that made Landon deeply touched.

“Is it because of me? Ms. Tessa, you don’t need to change your ns for my sake. I want you to do what’s right for you.”

University wasn’t something topromise on.

If she did end up going to Yalvaria, then he’d go with her. It was only four years–he could manage that.

“School’s the same anywhere.”

She was a fast learner. Geography wouldn’t make a difference.

Though it did mean turning down Michael’s offer.

“It’s not just because of you, but yes, you’re part of it. I don’t believe I have to go abroad ito /icontinue my studies, you know?”

“Fair enough.”

Even being part of the reason was enough for him. It meant she was including him in her future.

The next day, when it was just her and Avery at TS Entertainment, Ms. Tessa decided it was time to talk.

“I called you yesterday. You never answered. Where were you?” she asked, casual as ever.

“Just had to handle something personal.”

Avery had no idea she already knew everything.

“Avery, let’s be honest. I know who you are.b” /b

He froze.

“Ms. Tessa… I never meant to hide anything from you. It’s just… my identity has always been kept secret”

His father had gone to great lengths to protect him. That’s why no one knew.
