Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 1469

Chapter 1469 Don’t Hold Your Breath

The voices of the people who disagreed with her initially started to die down. Madeline was right; it wasn't news that Nicholas wanted to restructure the branch companies abroad. If it weren't because Zachary and the others, they wouldn't have been able to keep the companies that they owned now.

"Will Nicholas really let them go if we hand over these assets, though? Is he going to fool us again like he did the last time?" someone asked timidly.

A fierce voice boomed in reply, "I dare him to!" The person who said this was Felix's wife, Tamira. She had a ferocious look on her face as she added, "If he resorts to trickery, I'll send someone to trash all the branch companies abroad!"

Nobody argued with her because this was another way for them to vent their anger.

Madeline swept her gaze across the room, and when no one said anything against her suggestion, she announced, "Since we've come to an agreement, we'll negotiate with Nicholas tomorrow."

…

Early morning the next day, Nicholas had breakfast together with Tessa and the kids before leaving for work. Soon after he entered his office, Edward knocked and came in. "President Sawyer, the wives of Mr. Zachary, and the others are here."

This came as no surprise to Nicholas because he expected them to look for him when he sent Zachary and the others packing to the police station. "Tell them that I'm not free."

"Okay." Edward left after receiving his order and arrived at the first floor very quickly with the elevator. "Madams, I'm sorry, but President Sawyer is fully booked. Nonetheless, he has made it clear that he will do everything by the book concerning Mr. Zachary and the others." Then, he immediately turned around and returned to his work, ignoring the shocked looks on their faces.

Madeline and the others were left on the spot with dark expressions. It had never occurred to them that Nicholas would completely disregard them. Frankly speaking, they hadn't even planned for such a possibility.
