Dusk Snow Hides All Return (Rowan and Adrienne) novel Chapter 189

Chapter163.

The only thing connecting them besides their collaborative projects was… Tanner.

My wolf’s nascent instincts screamed warning, “WHAT NEW TRICK WAS SHE UR TO?”

The mere thought of that festering maggot in the gutter filled me with disgust. My wolf was exhausted from all the turmoil,“COULDN’T WE JUST GET HER INTO PRISON?”

Summer said that based on the current evidence, while we could only convict her as an accomplice to the kidnapping, intentional assault and attempted murder were solid enough charges. Even with the Shaw Family’s legal team, those combined would land her at least fifteen years.

But even so, Tanner didn’t want to spend a single day in jail.

Before, she’d produced a doctor’s note claiming a serious mental illness. This timp, she even faked at epileptic seizure in public… God knows who they bribed.

Do ordinary werewolf really have no chance against capital? It’s so unfair.

I thought Xander wouldn’t let the Cooper Family exploit loopholes in the law, but he seemed to be letting them off the hook. Of course, I had no right to demand anything of him; he has his own considerations.

I sighed softly.

Xander glanced back at me. Seeing my listless expression, his brow furrowed. His wolf was restless because he couldn’t understand what was going on in my mind, “WHAT WAS SHE THINKING?” If he knew my current worries, he would readily tell me that leaving Tanner alone wasn’t because we couldn’t handle her. This leniency was just to send her to a real hell.

‘Who’s going with me next Wednesday?”

His deep, smooth voice pulled me out of my troubled thoughts.

I shifted slightly in my seat. Zane also glanced in the rearview mirror.

I volunteered first, “I’ll stay at the company. I still have a lot to learn.”

Zane agreed.“Okay, then I’ll go.”

We’d already decided, but five minutes later, Xander said unexpectedly “Sophia will go.”

Zane and I exchanged bewildered looks. 1

Xander’s cool, casual voice came again, “There’s no substantial work this time. It’s just a formality, a show of face. It’s suitable for Sophia, who’s still unfamiliar with the company’s business.”

My wolf was speechless, a little uncertain, “…WAS HE SAYING WE’RE JUST A PRETTY FACE?”

And if he’d already decided I should go, why did he even ask Zane and me? He could just order us.

Zane’s expression was a little unnatural.

He stole a glance in the rearview mirror, his mind flashing back to the strawberry cake that morning, his protectiveness at the dinner, and then, like a sudden breakthrough, details he hadn’t really thought about before flooded his mind…those things that had happened but hadn’t been given much significance.

His wolf suddenly roared, “SHIT! SHIT, SHIT! I GET IT! MR. SHAW, HE!”

His hands trembled, and the car lurched violently as if startled.

Xander, who had been closing his eyes, opened them at the lurch.“Zane, did you drink?”

Zane: No, no, of course not, haha…there’s a rock ahead.”

He stammered, glancing again at the passenger seat beside më.

We arrived back at the company around one o’clock.

Xander went to the break room for his usual nap.

Zane and I came out of his office.

‘Zane, wait…”
