Alpha Hayley's Destined Mate novel Chapter 588

Alpha Hayley’s Destined Mate 

Chapter 588 Shut Myself Off from the World 

Hayley’s POV: 

+8 Pearls 

I gently covered Grandpa with a blanket, my voice soft as I spoke, “I overheard you and Grandma talking about it once. I heard everything.” 

Grandpa’s expression changed instantly, a blend of guilt and worry crossing his face, 

He was silent for a long moment, and when he finally spoke, his voice was heavy with emotion. “Hayley, your Grandma and I have always considered you our real granddaughter” 

“I know,” I responded quietly, placing my hand on his in reassurance. “I feel the same way. Don’t worry. I’m fine.” 

Grandpa let out another sigh, but he didn’t say anything more. 

He knew me too well. He understood that when things got overwhelming, I tended to shut myself off from the world. I could sense his concern, but I kept my face neutral, giving nothing away. 

Grandpa stared up at the ceiling, lost in thought. Then, almost as if remembering something, he turned his gaze toward Benjamin, filled with a quiet, expectant look. 

In that moment, I could see he was starting to respect Benjamin, approving of us being together. 

Virginia stood against the wall, her mouth hanging open in shock. 

She had heard everything–loud and clear. 

Hayley isn’t really a Carson–she was adopted! 

Could Hayley be my daughter… Michelle? the thought rushed through Virginia’s mind, excitement building within her. 

Hayley’s POV 

Once Grandpa’s condition seemed more stable, Justin–always a nuisance–waltzed into the room, his eyes scanning the space. 

“Dad, Mom said I should stay here with my wife. Where are all the gold bars, the bank cards, and all the rest? Did you bring it all from Shadow Pack? 

“You’re not well, so leave it to me. I’ll take care of things for Mom,” he added shamelessly, rummaging through the room. 

“You useless good–for–nothing!” Grandpa’s voice cracked with fury, his eyes wide with anger. “I have nothing to offer–no money, just my worthless life. Get out!” 

Justin, completely unfazed, waved him off. “I’m not leaving. This isn’t just your house, and your word isn’t 

the law here.”

Chapter 588 Shut Myself off from the World 

Benjamin’s gaze was fixed on me, seming my frustration riving 

With a slight frown, he walked over to Justin, his voice steady ban cold. “Mr. Justin, I don’t think you belo 

here right now. 

“Come with me,” he continued, “I make arrangements for you to stay somewhere else? 

“No, thanks,” Justin replied dismissively. I’ve got my own place. Why would I go live elsewhere? Without a second thought, he pulled out a chair and sat down, completely indifferent. 

Benjamin’s eyes darkened, and his patience began to wear thin. Stepping forward, he spoke with more irritation, “Are you sure you don’t want to accept my offer?” 

Justin barely looked at him, then shook his head as if dismissing him entirely. “No, I won’t. You may be the Alpha of Midnight Pack, but you have no say in Shadow Pack or the Carson family’s matters. You’re not in a position to tell me what to do. 

“Staying with my father is my right. I don’t need some stranger from another pack telling me otherwise.
