Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 1369

Chapter 1369 Running Out of Patience

Harper heavily emphasized his last sentence to highlight his warning.

It was evident that Timothy was unmoved by Harper's words as Timothy rebutted nonchalantly.

"I didn't expect that you thought so highly of me, Mr. Quinn. Unfortunately, I really cannot sign this without consulting others."

"Don't think I don't know what you're doing, Timothy. Be a smart boy and sign the agreement. Stop trying to pull tricks."

Harper was running out of patience and resorted to threatening him directly.

Timothy calmly stared at him without a shred of fear on his face.

Finally, he sighed in faux exasperation. "Why don't you believe me when I'm telling you the truth? If I sign, this agreement would not just be useless; it would be illegal!"

"Stop playing around, Timothy. I have never heard of a technology transfer agreement being illegal."

Harper coldly huffed. It was clear he did not believe Timothy.

Timothy chuckled. "It is not illegal, but when I started the company with Henry, we signed an agreement that any technology transfer agreement needed to be signed by both of us. Thus, I cannot sign this document since it would be going against the law."

Henry flew into a fit of rage when he saw that Timothy was adamant about not signing the document.

"Men!"

With a single shout, Harper summoned dozens of experienced and strong bodyguards into the room.

There was an exceptionally unpleasant look on Timothy's face when he saw them.

Harper's frigid voice echoed once more through the air.

"I'll ask you one last time; will you sign this agreement or not?!"

Evidently, he was going to force Timothy to sign if he answered no.

Timothy heard the implicit threat as well. His face darkened as an uncontrollable rage radiated through him.

"Oh, are you finally going to make a move?"

His frosty eyes bore into Harper.

His overwhelming presence shocked Harper.

He soon snapped back to his senses and stared back at Timothy with bright eyes. "I did not want to do this, but you are so obstinate that it is my only option."

He then shot a look at the subordinate standing beside him.

The man nodded, and two men immediately marched over to Timothy.

They were clearly about to attack Timothy.

However, the latter did not move from his spot as a dark look flashed across his eyes.

Something unexpected happened just as the two men were about to attack.

They heard sounds of people fighting outside before two men charged into the room.

They were bodyguards Nicholas sent to protect Timothy.

Edward had planted a listening device on Timothy before Timothy walked in.

The moment something seemed off, Edward would send his men in to rescue Timothy.

Harper's face twisted in rage when he saw the two bodyguards. He immediately shot Timothy a vicious look. "The audacity for you to bring backup!"

"Naturally. I would be utterly destroyed if I don't keep my guard up when dealing with despicable men like you."

Timothy's glare was like ice as he stared into Harper's eyes.

Harper gritted his teeth in fury. "Capture them all!"

After receiving the order, all of Harper's men charged at Timothy.

Even so, Timothy still did not move an inch.

He had faith in Nicholas' men; they would never let him be hurt.

That was the reality of the outcome as well.

Even though he only had two men protecting him, they were both experts who had been professionally trained.

Thus, Harper's men were no match for the two bodyguards.

Soon, the floor was covered with defeated men.

Harper's face twisted in shock when he saw that.

He never expected his intricate plan to end up like this.

Before he could come up with a proper reaction, his phone rang; it was a call from his trusted subordinate.

"Sir, bad news. The boat is surrounded by the police."

The subordinate's panicked cries echoed out from the phone.

Timothy and the others all heard what the man said.

Harper had accidentally tapped on the speaker button as he panicked.

Hearing that, Timothy heaved a sigh of relief. Henry was now safe.
