Chapter 93

In the werewolf - centered world, where the power dynamics were as fierce as a pack's territorial disputes, Theo’s thin lips curled into a slight smile, the danger in his expression unmistakable, much like a wolf baring its teeth in a show of dominance. "I always thought Thea was an orphan. Turns out her parents are still alive... Well, if that's the case, Mr. Joe, why don’t you help her pay off the huge debt she owes me? In the werewolf - centered strategic - debt - claim and pressure - application, this is his demand."  

Master Moore stood there, stunned, completely dumbfounded, as if a weaker wolf facing an unexpected challenge from a powerful alpha.

Theo continued to press: "The debt of a child is the responsibility of the father, Mr. Joe. You won’t deny that, right? In the werewolf - centered family - debt - responsibility - assertion and challenge, this is his statement."  

Victoria whispered to Master Moore, "Dad, Isabella owes Mr. Sanchez several hundred million. Don't be foolish, don't agree to pay her debt. In the werewolf - centered family - financial - worry and advice - against - payment, this is her warning."  

Master Moore’s face turned ashen, his teeth grinding in fury. "This waste, this calamity—how could she owe so much money? In the werewolf - centered anger - and - frustration - at - debt, this is his outburst."  

Victoria walked up to Theo, thinking she could intimidate the young man. But Theo’s towering presence and the cold aura around him unnerved her, making her feel strangely fearful, like a small wolf approaching a much larger and more menacing one.

It was as if he were the mature, composed man, not her.  

She nervously stammered, "Mr. Sanchez, last night at the Sanchez mansion, you openly admitted that Isabella is your girlfriend. If that’s the case, how could you make her repay your debt? In the werewolf - centered relationship - based - debt - question and challenge, this is her query."  

Theo sneered. "Victoria, do you think Thea is like you? That she uses men to spend their money, sleep in their beds, and live in their villas? My Thea would never stoop to such low tactics. The money she owes me is documented in black and white, and it’s a debt she can never escape. In the werewolf - centered scorn - for - Victoria and firm - debt - claim, this is his retort."  

Victoria was stung by Theo's mockery, the words biting deep into her heart, like a wolf being wounded by a rival's attack. "Mr. Sanchez, you don’t love Isabella, do you? That’s why you won’t forgive her debt. In the werewolf - centered love - and - debt - connection - speculation, this is her accusation."  

Theo retorted, "You, a green tea bitch who used someone else's kidney and destroyed families, dare to talk about love? Don’t pollute the word 'love' with your filth. In the werewolf - centered moral - condemnation - of - Victoria and dismissal - of - her - talk - of - love, this is his scathing response."  

Victoria gasped in anger. "You—!"  

Master Moore intervened, "Mr. Sanchez, Isabella is an adult. As her parents, we’re not obligated to pay her debt. In the werewolf - centered legal - obligation - claim and refusal - of - debt - payment, this is his argument."  

Theo mocked, "Lol, Mr. Joe, it must be miserable to have a daughter like Thea. You only know how to take, never to provide for her. If it were anyone else, they’d be too ashamed to show their face. In the werewolf - centered scorn - for - Master - Moore and family - responsibility - condemnation, this is his taunt."  

Master Moore’s face went from green to pale.  

"Mr. Sanchez, please leave. The Moore family doesn’t welcome you. In the werewolf - centered dismissal - of - Theo and family - protection - attempt, this is his request."  

Theo’s gaze grew colder. "So, Mr. Joe, you’re not willing to help Thea pay her debt? In the werewolf - centered confirmation - of - refusal - and - continued - pressure, this is his question."  

Theo pulled out his phone and dialed. As soon as the call connected, he spoke with cold authority: "Cancel all cooperation with the Joe family. In the werewolf - centered power - play - and - cooperation - cancellation - order, this is his command."  

Master Moore, still in disbelief, tried to brush it off. "Mr. Sanchez, we’re a small company, we have no right to collaborate with big corporations like the Brown and Sanchez groups. Besides, the Brown and Sanchez groups don’t fall under your jurisdiction. Your hands can’t reach me, so don’t waste your time... In the werewolf - centered disbelief - and - dismissal - of - threat, this is his response."  

Before he could finish, an assistant called: "Mr. Moore, our raw material supplier just called and terminated our partnership. This is disastrous—we can’t continue production and we won’t be able to deliver our products on time. The penalty fees are enormous. In the werewolf - centered business - disaster - announcement and financial - crisis - revelation, this is the bad news."  

Master Moore suddenly aged before their eyes, like a wolf losing its strength and vitality in the face of defeat.

He stared at Theo in disbelief. In just one move, Theo had grabbed the lifeblood of his finances. The precision with which Theo had assessed the situation was enough to make anyone fear him, like a skilled hunter targeting the vital organs of its prey.

"Mr. Sanchez, was that really you?"  

Theo replied arrogantly, "Mr. Joe, I quite like this villa. It could fetch a nice price. Why don’t you use it to settle your daughter’s debt? In the werewolf - centered property - claim - for - debt - settlement and arrogance - display, this is his demand."  

Victoria, still not grasping the situation, spoke up: "Mr. Sanchez, Isabella’s debt is not something my father is obligated to repay. If you understood the law at all, you’d know that. In the werewolf - centered legal - argument - and - debt - refusal - reiteration, this is her statement."  

Theo shot her a cold glance. "You want to talk to me about the law? You and your brother - in - law conspired to steal Thea’s kidney. Do you know that’s illegal? In the werewolf - centered moral - and - legal - condemnation - of - Victoria, this is his accusation."  

Joe’s face went pale. "That’s what my sister agreed to..."  

Theo glared at Master Moore. "Mr. Joe, I’m sure you’ll be willing to give me the villa as collateral, won’t you? In the werewolf - centered collateral - demand - and - pressure - on - Master - Moore, this is his threat."  

Master Moore broke into a cold sweat, falling to his knees, pleading. "Mr. Sanchez, please, spare me. This is my only property. If I give it to you, my family will have nowhere to go. In the werewolf - centered fear - and - pleading - for - mercy, this is his supplication."  

Theo was unmoved. "If you don’t want to, that’s fine. Just wait for bankruptcy to come. In the werewolf - centered unyielding - stance - and - bankruptcy - threat, this is his ultimatum."  

Master Moore, with a pitiful look on his face, said, "Mr. Sanchez, to be honest, Isabella has severed ties with the Moore family. We are not responsible for her debts. In the werewolf - centered family - tie - severance - claim and debt - responsibility - denial, this is his statement."  

Theo’s face darkened in fury. "Mr. Joe, are you mocking me? Didn’t you just say you were family? Now you say you’ve cut ties? In the werewolf - centered anger - and - contradiction - exposure, this is his rebuke."  

"If you don’t have a legal document confirming that severance, Mr. Joe, don’t think you can escape your obligations. In the werewolf - centered legal - requirement - and - obligation - reminder, this is his statement."  

Master Moore clenched his teeth. "I’ll cut ties with Isabella soon."  

He then urgently turned to Victoria. "Go and call Isabella—no, I mean, Miss Thea—out here. In the werewolf - centered order - for - Thea's - appearance and family - tie - severance - preparation, this is his command."  

Victoria finally realized that sometimes, power and position are law, much like the dominance hierarchy in a werewolf pack.

Just like Nathan had oppressed Isabella back in the day, now Theo was using the same tactics to retaliate. They had no power to resist, like a weak pack being dominated by a stronger one.

Victoria lowered her head as she went upstairs.  

She opened the door to find Thea lounging in a recliner on the balcony, completely unbothered, not a hint of panic from her supposed "imprisonment," like a wolf unafraid in the enemy's den.

Inside, the smell of urine was overpowering. Madam Moore, her face flushed red, sobbed to Victoria, "Victoria, you’re finally here. Your sister can’t take care of me. She doesn’t give me water, doesn’t help me to the toilet. I wet the bed, and she didn’t even care. In the werewolf - centered complaint - about - Thea and plea - for - help, this is her cry."  

Victoria looked at Thea in shock. "How could your heart have become so cold? She’s your mother, who gave birth to you! In the werewolf - centered moral - condemnation - of - Thea and mother - daughter - bond - reminder, this is her outburst."  

Thea continued to lie back, her eyes fixed on the window, completely ignoring Victoria’s words, like a wolf ignoring the barks of a weaker one.

Victoria snapped, "Isabella, I’m talking to you!"  

Thea’s voice was soft but carried an undeniable weight: "Victoria, I advise you not to yell at me. Otherwise, I might not leave this room today. In the werewolf - centered warning - and - non - compliance - threat, this is her statement."  

Victoria, furious after being mocked by Theo and now ignored by Thea, sought to regain some dignity. "Isabella, are you threatening me? Whether you go out or not is up to you. In the werewolf - centered anger - and - challenge - to - Thea, this is her response."  

Thea responded slowly, "I’m not going out. I’m waiting for the police to arrive. You’ve imprisoned me, and you’ll go to jail for it. In the werewolf - centered imprisonment - accusation - and - police - waiting - announcement, this is her statement."  

Victoria shot back, "Who’s imprisoning you? You came back to care for your sick mother out of filial piety. In the werewolf - centered false - pretense - and - counter - accusation, this is her retort."  

Thea held up a recorder. "The evidence is right here. Victoria, you can’t lie your way out of this. In the werewolf - centered evidence - display - and - truth - revelation, this is her statement."  

Victoria’s face drained of color. "You recorded it?"  

Thea smirked. "You thought that by taking away my phone, I’d obediently let you control me? In the werewolf - centered mockery - of - Victoria's - attempt - at - control, this is her taunt."  

Victoria stomped her foot in frustration, before reluctantly bowing to Thea: "Mr. Sanchez is here to see you. He’s forcing Dad to pay your debt. Dad has no choice but to sever ties with you. In the werewolf - centered news - delivery - and - family - tie - severance - explanation, this is her statement."  

Madam Moore cried out in desperation, "Bella, you can’t sever ties with us. Please, don’t!"
