It was not a big deal that Landon went to plead with Natalie to come back. However, Natalie not only asked for a stake in the company but also refused to follow my advice. I didn’t have the position to speak up for her anymore.

Grace sneered and continued, “Bad habits must be corrected. This is the perfect opportunity to straighten her out all at once. Let her taste the bitterness and understand that our family can thrive without her. Once Landon gives her the cold shoulder, she’ll start to panic.” As she spoke, she casually picked up an apple and began to peel it.

Grace’s words promptly squelched the flicker of compassion that had just emerged in me. With a sigh, I fell silent.

I eyed the half-peeled and sliced apple in Grace’s hand, assuming it was for me. To my surprise, she took a big bite right away.

“Oh, d-do you want some?” Grace jumped when she caught me staring at the apple. Only then did she catch on.

I let out a huff. “Natalie would’ve known I love apples. She’d cut them into slices and hand them to me nicely.”

Grace looked a bit sheepish and forced a smile. “I’ll cut one for you right now,” she said, and quickly grabbed another apple.

Benjamin’s POV:

As evening fell, Landon and I made our way home. Since securing that pivotal investment from Moon- Shadowed Pack, some of the hesitant business partners started flocking to our Thorn Pack. The projects might not be as large-scale as those Natalie had landed before, but if we could wrap them all up, it’d be enough to cover Thorn Pack’s recent losses and kick-start the listing plan again.

We walked in with a long-awaited sense of ease on our faces.

I even took the rare step of commending Landon. “You’ve been putting in a lot of hard work lately. Once these projects are on solid ground, the company will be all yours to run.”

Landon’s face lit up, and the cloud that had hung over him for days vanished. “Thanks, Dad,” he replied.

“Remember, your pack will always be your strongest support. Women are outsiders and should never stand in your way,” I told him pointedly, giving his shoulder a firm squeeze.

Natalie’s issue was a sign that Landon needed to step up his game in managing the family.

In our Richardson family, men had always known how to handle their women. Even a powerhouse like my mother was once firmly in my father’s grasp when she was younger. No matter how wronged she felt, she always put her husband’s and the pack’s interests first.

Landon’s POV:

Head bowed, I murmured, “I’ve got it.” Yet, the moment Natalie crossed my mind, a pang of unease tightened my chest, like a vise around my heart.

Dad’s words rang true. How could I have let Natalie wrap me around her little finger? Back in the day, my doting on her was nothing but a ploy, a means to manipulate and control her for the benefit of Thorn Pack.
