Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 262

Chapter 262
“Okay, okay.” Bobbing his head eagerly, Silas immediately felt as though a huge stone had been lifted off him. Looks like he’s not going after me for responsibility.
While he was still rejoicing, Edward took out some papers. “President Sawyer, I found the agreement which was signed before.”
When Silas heard that, his face visibly paled.
“President Sawyer, Silas had obviously violated the agreement by finding fault with them. In addition, he’s also involved in kidnapping and abetting injury against others.”
A terrified Silas knew that he would definitely end up in jail if this was reported to the police. Scrambling to his feet, he cast Nicholas a pleading look. “President Sawyer, I won’t dare to do it again. From now on, I won’t cause them any more trouble. I’m a man of my word!”
At the same time, Amber was equally terrified upon hearing that. Her daughter-in law was already behind bars for months and her granddaughter had just been arrested. If her son was also sent to jail, how would she be able to survive by herself?
Losing all her guts from earlier, she pleaded anxiously, “President Sawyer, please have mercy and let my son off. I promise I won’t let him cause any more trouble in the future.”
“What do you mean?” Nicholas said, looking at Tessa.
All eyes in the room turned to Tessa as well. Some had a pleading gaze, a few were imploring her and there were also some who were determined.
Tessa’s crisp, cool voice echoed. “It’s pointless to have mercy on them and just let the law deal with them. Also, there’s a surveillance camera with a voice recorder next to it. Take all of it as evidence,” she pointed out, gesturing to the lens pointed at herself.
Once again, Silas slumped to the floor. Initially, he wanted to use the surveillance to blackmail them, but unexpectedly, Tessa also knew that his voice recorder was there. Earlier, I had said so much about my plans, but now…
Nicholas nodded, gesturing to Edward to collect the evidence.
Even though he didn’t say anything, he had another deeper understanding of Tessa’s
personality again. In the beginning, he thought that she was quiet and weak, but he later realized that she was also a little tough. And now, she could even stand with reason instead of her blood and kin, was brave with her feelings and also a little sassy.
Her attention to detail kinda drew Nicholas’ attention a little.
After leaving the scene to Edward and his bodyguards, Nicholas sent Tessa and the rest home before driving alone to Sawyer Residence.
In the house, Remus was having tea while playing chess by himself, and the butler, Andrew, rushed to him after receiving a call.
“Something happened, Sir.”
“Speak.” Lifting his eyes, Remus looked at him lazily and continued with his tea and chess, looking so strategized as if everything was within his control.
“It seems like Young Master Nicholas has already noticed that it’s us and canceled our instructions using the Sawyer Group’s name earlier. He even clarified everything and it looks like everything will proceed normally.”
Remus snorted. “So what? What can he do even if he knows about it? It’s only a matter of time before this matter is.exposed and we didn’t plan to hide it from him either.”
Of course he knew his grandson like the back of his palm.
“Nicholas would do this simply because he’s willful and felt that the Reinhart siblings had suffered this unwarranted trouble because of him. That’s why he helped them to solve all those problems. In addition, that little lass, Tessa, will back off after just a small warning. It has always been like this the last few times before, but it’s her brother who has been targeted this time. So, she’ll probably get mad and sever all contact with him.”
Giving it a second thought, Andrew thought that it was true. Moreover, Nicholas had a strong personality and wouldn’t do something knowing that it would end up in him being snubbed. Hence, Nicholas definitely wouldn’t stand to take this.
Once he cooled down for a couple of days, he would completely ignore Tessa.
So, the old master has already considered everything. Then, there shouldn’t be any problem to break these two up, Andrew thought and bowed slightly. “What a wise plan you have, sir.”
Continuing with his tea and chess calmly, Remus said, “Come and play with me.”
Andrew nodded. “Yes.”
Just a while after they started playing, a bodyguard walked in briskly and whispered something into Andrew’s ears. Instantly, the expression on his face fell.
