Chapter 257
At this point, Nicholas didn’t continue speaking, and suddenly, Tessa could visualize Gregory’s situation. She could even feel the helplessness that Nicholas felt at the same time.
Maybe they really didn‘t want to disrupt my life on purpose or allow the Sawyers to make life difficult for me, she thought. In addition, Gregory did look like he had lost a lot of weight recently and he seemed so cautious every time he saw her, which was so unlike his bubbly and lively manner from before.
After hearing everything, Timothy also felt his heart wrenching a little and he peered at his own sister; she wasn’t so mad anymore and there was a mix of frustration and reproach in her eyes.
Silently, he sighed. Tessa sincerely loves Gregory, Timothy thought. Even if she didn’t say it now or even said something heartless, she would still be upset and he didn’t want to see her sad.
Hence, he interjected, “Tess, it’s true that President Sawyer is caught in the middle of this issue, and he’s doing it all for Greg’s sake without thinking so much. He helped us out a lot, though, didn’t he? If it wasn’t for him, my company may not have been able to kick off either.”
Although Tessa was quiet, her heart was already beginning to sway as she thought that Timothy had a point.
Then, Timothy turned to Nicholas. “President Sawyer, you admit that it’s your family who did it. Even though you helped us, you are still the cause of it. Do you agree with this?”
In reply, Nicholas nodded.
“I may be powerless, but if Old Master Sawyer continues to make life difficult for us, we won’t care about any affections either,” Timothy continued.
Nicholas nodded again.
Meanwhile, Tessa had recollected her composure and said to Timothy, “There’s one thing, though. Whatever Silas did has nothing to do with President Sawyer and he has to be responsible for it himself. What did Silas do at your workplace?”
Astonished by her words, Nicholas thought, Everything she said earlier was out of anger:
but she‘s actually very rational. This girl is simply too kind–hearted.
