Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 1415

Chapter 1415 Who’s the Culprit

"I can't go back to sleep right now. There are a lot of things at the office that I need to take care of." Nicholas shook his head and rejected the idea, but he pulled Tessa into a tight hug. "Don't worry. I won't take my health for granted."

Tessa couldn't press further, so she changed the subject. "A lot of the family relatives came over while you were asleep. Granduncles Adam and Joseph came over too. They're downstairs right now."

"They got here this quickly, huh?" He narrowed his eyes.

She didn't quite catch what he said so she eyed him curiously. "What did you say?"

"It's nothing. Since we have guests here, let's go down." Nicholas released Tessa from his hug before taking her hand to walk down with her.

Quite a few people were sitting in the living room. Adam and Joseph were making a whole show out of their attempts to comfort Stefania and Tobias.

"I never thought something like this would happen. Thankfully, you still have Nicholas. You two have got long lives ahead of you still so you must take good care of yourselves."

"My condolences."

"The deceased has passed on. You need to come to terms with it."

Stefania and Tobias didn't respond. Their moods were somber as they listened to the barrage of words that were meant to console them.

The others didn't mind the lack of response.

Adam and Joseph exchanged glances and mutually thought that they had done enough now, so it was time to bring up the purpose of their visit.

"Nicholas has been spending all his time looking for Kieran. The company has been in a crisis for three days now and nothing's been done to resolve it. It's just as well that we came back, so why don't we get our cousins to take over the responsibilities at the company? That way, Nicholas can just focus on the search."

As soon as those words were said, Nicholas' icy voice rang out through the living room.

"Thanks for the kind gesture, Granduncle Adam and Granduncle Joseph, but I can still handle things at the company just fine."

Nicholas came downstairs with Tessa and walked straight over to his parents. "I'm heading into the office now. If there's anything that needs to be done at home, Tessa will take care of it."

He glanced at Tessa.

She understood what he meant and said quietly, "Go ahead. I'll keep an eye on things here. Nothing will happen."

Nicholas nodded and left.

Nevertheless, he was still wary of all these relatives with ulterior motives, so he instructed Edward to send someone over to keep an eye on them.

After arriving at the company, he immediately called for a private conference and invited all of the company's worried clients to the company headquarters.

"I know a lot has happened over the past three days due to the Sawyers' private matters. I won't touch on anything else, but I'll say this. Even though Kieran isn't here anymore, I'm still here!" Nicholas made this declaration with a firm, determined stance that settled all of the attendees' hearts.

When the conference was over, most of them stayed in their seats as they began muttering among themselves.

"I can see why Old Master Sawyer chose him as his successor. Even though his younger brother just died, he's still able to be this calm and clear-headed."

"Now that I've seen President Sawyer's composure, I'm no longer worried."

After leaving the private conference, Nicholas went back to his office.

Edward followed along behind him to report on the relatives who had gathered at Sawyer Residence and what they were doing.

Nicholas listened without making any comments. Once they were inside his office, he suddenly asked, "Have you finished the investigations into the tampered brakes yet?"

"We have a lead. We were able to restore the security footage and saw that the person who tampered with the brakes was a security guard, but he resigned three days ago. I've reported this to the police and they're hunting him down as we speak."

Nicholas was satisfied with Edward's arrangements. His gaze turned colder as he instructed, "Tell our people to cooperate with the police. Make sure they catch that man!"

"Don't worry. I've already given the instructions," Edward replied.

Nicholas narrowed his eyes. A thought seemed to have occurred to him as he remarked darkly, "Kieran suffered this fate on my behalf. I will definitely find the culprit behind this."

After taking a look at Nicholas and his hardened expression, Edward paused in thought before asking, "Is there anyone you suspect?"

"The person who has been the most dishonest is the one behind this."
