“Winnie, why is he-treatinglike this? How could he abandonafter | gave him my everything? And now,
just because of Tessa!” Queenie sobbed uncontrolably, her eyes red and swollen from crying.
Winona draped an arm around her shoulder, feigning concern.
“Tessa’s always been that way. Even if she doesn’t like someone, she'll still take them from others- especially if
she knows it'll hurt. It’s because she looks so stunning, isn’t it?”
“That wretched Tessa! I'll never forgive her!” Queenie’s face twisted with hatred. Then, as if realizing something,
she turned to Winona. “But Winnie, she’s your sister. You're not on her side, are you?”
“She’s never treatedlike a sister, Queenie, you're my best friend. I'll always stand by you. Whatever you
decide to do, I'll support you.”
“Winnie...” Queenie was moved to tears, but Winona’s unseen smile was filled with disdain.
Queenie is such a fool. She wantsto deal with Tessa? Pathetic. She couldn’t even hold her own against her.
Tessa wasn't the sgirl she was five years ago. But no matter how much she had changed, Winona was
determined to destroy her.
“Tessie, you're amazing! If you were a guy, I'd totally marry you!” Ysabel chirped, still giddy from the basketball
showdown.
“Don’t do that again,” Tessa said flatly, referring to Ysabel stepping in to block the basketball for her.
“But you're my best friend! Of course I'd protect you!”
Tessa felt a pang of warmth.
In Falindale,-she had only been able to rely on herself. It wasn’t until she awakened her wolf and discovered her
latent strength that no one dared to bully her anymore.
But Ysabel was the first person who ever stepped up to protect her without hesitation.

While Tessa was lost in thought, Ysabel had already edited a video of the basketball match and posted it on
Facebook.
Caption: My Tessie is so cool. | want to marry her so badly!
After liking her own post, Ysabel tucked her phone away, satisfied, and turned her attention back to class.
The first period was physics. Mr. Hamilton walked in and immediately noticed Tessa resting her head on the desk.
He marched over and rapped on her table.
“Tessa, | understand you're not planning on going to college. You're a delinquent; | don’t expect much from you.
But | have one request-don’t sleep in my class. If the principal sees this, it makeslook bad.” Mr. Hamilton,
already in a foul mood from a lunchtargument with another teacher, had no patience

“Yes, Mr. Hamilton.” Tessa straightened up, deciding it wasn’t worth arguing.
But her calm demeanor only fanned his irritation.
“Get out!” he snapped.
Tessa raised an eyebrow. What's his problem today?
“Are you deaf? | said, get out!”
With a resigned sigh, Tessa grabbed her bag and left the classroom.
Watching her leave, Queenie smirked.
Looks like I'm not the only one who can’t stand her. Staying at Navoris High won't be easy for you, Tessa.
“Tessie-" Ysabel started to follow her, but Tessa shook her head.
“I'm fine. Stay and focus on class.”
Tessa exited the building, her mood unbothered..
Meanwhile, at Thorne Corp, Nathaniel had cto discuss a business deal with Landon.
When he noticed a Facebook post from Ysabel, he couldn't suppress a laugh.
Landon glanced up, then returned to his documents.
“Alpha, what is it about Tessa? Even your little niece is gushing about wanting to marry her!” Nathaniel teased,
chuckling.
“What?” The mention of Tessa caught Landon’s attention.
“Check Facebook.”
Landon opened the app, finding Ysabel’s post and video of Tessa’s one-versus-five basketball game.

What could be so urgent that it makes him ditch a meeting? Nathaniel wondered, though he had a pretty good
idea of the answer.
