Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 1117

Chapter 1117 A Public Disclaimer

That matter has already taken a toll on the Sawyer Group’s share price. Despite knowing Nicholas would not blame her for that, Tessa still couldn’t help but beat herself up over it.

Furthermore, her insecurities only added to her worry, for she was afraid that the elders of the Sawyer Family would blame it all on her. Just as her wild imagination was gnawing at her, she suddenly heard Nicholas’ tender voice. “What’s on your mind?” “Oh, hey. You’re back.” Tessa looked up.

The next second, Nicholas sat right next to her and showed her his concern. “You seemed so absorbed in your thoughts that you didn’t even notice me coming in. Is there something bothering you?”

“I-I saw the news earlier tonight. I’m pretty sure the Sawyer Group’s share price has been affected by this matter.” Her guilt overwhelmed her as she explained to the man.

Looking at his guilt-ridden wife, he chuckled in amusement. He then cupped her face and locked eyes with her before he spoke in a loving voice, “Seriously? Are you letting your imagination run wild again? Come on, we’ve been through worse, so don’t worry about the company. I’m sure everything is going to be just fine.” As soon as he finished his words, he planted a kiss on the lady’s forehead.

When Tessa saw how Nicholas dismissed the concern so casually, she heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she thought about Edward, who had visited earlier, and asked, “Did Edward find anything useful?”

“Well, he found the leaked footage online and realized a reporter in the ward had secretly captured the scene. However, that reporter resigned from his job shortly after that.” Nicholas didn’t hold back as he told her everything he knew.

Tessa seemed concerned as her brows furrowed. “Can we still find him, though? As you said, he’s already quit his job.”

“We most certainly can, and we’re going to do that with some help,” Nicholas responded with his lips curled upward confidently as though everything was under his control.

Although it didn’t take long for Tessa to be convinced, she was also curious about the man’s plan. “What’s your next move, then?”

“We’re going to sue the company the reporter was working at.” Nicholas went on to tell Tessa his plan so that he could put her mind at ease.

…

The next morning, the Sawyer Group issued a legal letter to the reporter’s former company and sued them for defamation. At the same time, netizens who had been following the news closely started to change their stance toward Tessa the moment they discovered the Sawyer Group’s lawsuit.
