Chapter 561 A Wager in Silence

Reginald let out a sigh.

After all this, Tessa’s personality actually suited him-she was direct, unyielding. But still….

“Tessa, you’re not right for Landon. You should understand that.”

“Whether we’re right for each other isn’t for anyone else to decide,” Tessa réplied calmly, her voice firm and unwavering. “Just because you don’t approve doesn’t mean I’ll walk away”

“Then what will it take for you to leave?” Reginald’s face darkened. “Wealth? Power? Name your price-I’ll give you anything.”

Tessa smiled. She’d always thought scenes like this-trying to buy someone off-only happened in TV dramas. She never expected to experience it firsthand.

“No matter what you offer, I won’t leave,” she said, slow and steady. “Landon and I are fated mates. We love each other. From the moment I chose to be with him, leaving was never an option.”

“You-” Reginald choked on her stubbornness, then said coldly, “If you’re that determined, then let’s see whether you truly have what it takes to stand beside him.”

Words alone wouldn’t impress him.

Tessa had done her homework. She knew the woman he favored was the daughter of the alpha family of White Pack.

She leaned in slightly, her tone sharpening. “I know Mr. Reginald favors the youngdy from White Pack. You also know White Corp is the financial backbone of White Pack. Meanwhile, Sinir Corporation’s Srre Initiative currently holds exclusive ess to Montedra’s new pharmaceutical research pipeline. Both corporations are the primary economic arteries for their packs.”

She paused, eyes steady and clear. “Business may not draw blood, but it’s still a battlefield for pack dominance. Ms. White sustains White Pack through White Corp. If I can raise the Srre Initiative’s market value above White Corp’s within three months, wouldn’t that prove that I have the strength not only to protect Landon, but to support half of Nightshade Pack’s financial foundation? Would that make me qualified to stand by his side?”

Reginald’s fingers stilled.

-He truly did value the White family’s heiress-not only for her alpha bloodline, but because White Corp’s annual contributions to White Pack were enough to fund three full-scale military campaigns. But Tessa’s words struck a chord: strategic maneuvering in the business world was simply an extension of pack warfare. If she could outmatch the White family in the capital arena, that would speak volumes about her vision, her skill, and her value to the pack.

“Is that so?” he asked, his tone more serious now, an eyebrow raised. “Then I’ll wait and see. If you fail, leave Landon.”

“And if I seed?” Tessa pressed/

Reginald studied the certainty in her eyes and allowed himself the faintest smile. “If you seed, I’ll acknowledge that you’re worthy to stand beside him.”

He hadn’t sealed the dealpletely-but in his heart, he thought: if she truly could surpass the White

family in the business world and prove she had the means to drive economic growth for the pack, then he d give her one more trial-this time, in the battlefield of strength.

After all, the Luna of Nightshade Pack couldn’t justmand resources-she had to fight beside the alpha… king. If she couldn’t even

pass the business trial, then the rest wouldn’t matter. No need to waste anyone’s

time.

Tessa gave a slight nod and said nothing more.

Some things didn’t need words.

If he wanted proof of her power-then she’d show it to him with her own hands.
