“Do you even know who I am?”he asked.
She looked genuinely confused for a second.“You’re Bennett Wulf, president and heir to Wulf Enterprises.”
“You forgot the next Alpha to the local pack,” he said.
Lindi looked surprised, but no less interested in Bennett due to his revelation.Her parents didn’t seem upset by the news either.None of them had realized the issue yet, but Bennett quickly clarified for them.
“I can smell a lie better than you can spend your father’s money.You had avocado toast with an over-easy egg for breakfast, an almond milk latte, and used whitening gel on your teeth before we arrived.And you haveeverythingto do with what happened to my future wife while she was at that school.”
Bennett’s gaze pinned Lindi’s father.“Do you need any other proof?”
Mr.Shane was quick to placate Bennett.“No.Thank you for bringing Lindi’s behavior to our attention.We’ll ensure it never happens again.”
Bennett leaned back in his chair.
“It’s escalated past that.Wrenly might not be willing to demand compensation, but I am.”
“Name your price.”
“Your daughter.”
Her father looked shocked.Her mother and Lindi looked elated, though.
“B-but you already said you have a fiancée,” the father said, his gaze flicking to me.“Are you suggesting Lindi become your mistress?”
“Wolves never cheat on their mates,” Bennett said, patting my hand.“I want you to disown your daughter.”
“What?”her mother gasped.
“She’s just a child,” her father said.
“She’s a monster,” I said.“She’s done things that would be considered war crimes in some countries.”
“You have a choice,” Bennett said.“Disown your daughter, cut her out of your lives completely, or watch everything you’ve built slowly crumble.”
Bennett stood and wrapped my hand around his arm.
“Lindi has my number.If I don’t hear from you within twenty-four hours, I’ll assume you’re willing to give up everything for a child no one will touch once they know the truth about her.”
Lindi’s father got scarily red and grabbed his chest.
“No need to see us out,” Bennett said as both Lindi and her mother rushed to Mr.Shane’s side.
Bennett led me out to the car, where Milo was waiting.Once we were inside, he called Konni.
“As of today, I’m blacklisting the Shanes.Call in favors.Whatever you need to do to get investors to start withdrawing.”
“You got it.How’s your princess?”
“Elated,” I said, since he was on speaker phone.“Lindi’s finally going to get a taste of the suffering she deserves.I do feel a little bad for her parents, though.”
“Kids don’t just go bad.They choose to be that way.Either her parents were oblivious or supportive.Bennett’s given them the chance to save themselves.It’s their choice now.”
I glanced at Bennett.
“If you want me to stop, I will,” he said.“But I hope you don’t ask me to.”
“I won’t.I’ll trust you only to punish the people who deserve it and not to take it too far.”
