Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 154

Chapter 154
After speaking, Tessa wanted to leave the room and planned to ask for the foreman again. The man in the room said, “You’re Tessa Reinhart, right? You are in the right room.”
Tessa’s footsteps stopped, and she looked back suspiciously. “Then where is my brother? I’m here to pick him up.”
The man didn’t answer, but the way he leered at Tessa became even more unscrupulous. This figure, this face… She is much prettier than in the photo.
At first, she thought that Sophia was deceiving him, and that she had photoshopped the photos to deceive him, but he really didn’t expect the Reinhart Family to have hidden such good stuff from him.
He was so fascinated that he looked at Tessa from head to toe and said maliciously, “The eldest lady of the Reinhart Family really doesn’t fail to fascinate me. Not bad-you suit my taste very much.”
Immediately, Tessa was disgusted by his look and his rude words, but she held herself back and continued, “I’m sorry. I just came to find my brother. Where is he?”
“Your brother? Well, it’s not a big deal for me to be your ‘brother’ this once.” He picked up the glass, took a sip of alcohol, and said, “But, sis, do you really not know who I am?”
Tessa frowned a little unhappily. How could this person’s words make me so uncomfortable? However, she wasn’t sure whether Timothy was here or not, so she couldn’t just leave. She endured the disgust and said, “If my brother isn’t here, then I’ll take my leave first. Sorry for bothering you.”
Eric couldn’t help but laugh when he heard this. “Wait. Miss Reinhart, aren’t you too ignorant? You don’t even know me? Who doesn’t know about my family in Brentwood? Go and ask around, will you? Who doesn’t know me? I’m the young master of the Finch Family.”
Tessa’s face immediately turned cold at the mention of that. The story about her brother being drunk in a clubhouse was all a lie. She was set up!
She had naturally heard of Young Master Finch’s reputation, but she had never seen this person in real life. Now that she met him finally, she could see how disgusting he actually was.
Immediately, Tessa knew that she shouldn’t stay there any longer. Without even bothering to say goodbye politely, she wanted to escape from this place quickly, so she immediately turned around to go out
To her dismay, before she reached the door, two bodyguards directly blocked her way. They were like an iron wall. No matter how she pushed, they didn’t budge an inch. Tessa’s face instantly fell.
At that point, she could feel the man behind her getting up and walking toward her with a sinister smile. She panicked, but she quickly reacted and turned her head back with a force of composure. “Young Master Finch, I didn’t mean to offend you. I apologize to you if I’ve bothered your fun here, but what do you think you are doing?”
Eric smiled as his greasy hand touched Tessa’s chin. “Since you know you’ve bothered me, how can you not make it up to me? And isn’t it obvious what I’m doing?”
Tessa gritted her teeth and turned her head away to escape his touch. “What are you doing?!”
“Tessa Reinhart, stop acting dumb. I’m giving you face by even indulging you, but your sister, Sophia Reinhart, received 5 million from me as your dowry, so you are mine tonight,” Eric said with a smile.
When she heard Sophia’s name, Tessa immediately realized what happened. So Sophia was the one behind all these!
Tessa let everyone from the family go at first, but she actually unknowingly fueled the arrogance of these shameless people!
Nevertheless, the current situation didn’t allow her to regret her actions. What she had to think about now was how to get out of this hell of a place and find Timothy. With that in mind, she put on an extremely gloomy expression and said coldly, “If that’s the case, you should be looking for whoever took your money and made a deal with you. This has nothing to do with me.” She gritted her teeth. “Please have your people get out of the way, or I’ll call the police.”
However, the bodyguards at the door were unmoved. They remained firm like a wall, unmoved by her words, and they sneered at her remarks instead.
When she saw that they wouldn’t move, she was so angry that she took out her mobile phone and was about to call the police. However, before she could unlock her phone, Eric snatched her phone away. “Even if you call the police now, it’s useless. Tonight, no matter what, you will be mine, little beauty. Don’t struggle, lest you get hurt.”
