Chapter 436 The Stone Family’s Schemes
Even so, Hayley still couldn’t vent all her anger, so she jumped off the bed barefoot and smashed everything she could in the room.
Her parents, who had been resting, were awakened by the commotion. They immediately got up and went to find Hayley, only to find that her room was in a mess. The floor was covered in her bedsheets and various clothes, and broken pieces of glass were scattered everywhere.
“Why are you throwing a tantrum in the middle of the night?” Nero stood at the door and stared at her in displeasure.
On the other hand, Sonia asked her worriedly, “Hayley, is something wrong?”
“Mom, Dad, do you know who Nicholas is spending time with while he’s abroad?” Hayley looked at her parents gloomily. “He’s with that b*tch Tessa!”
“How could that be?” They were taken aback by her words.
“Why not? That woman already has him wrapped around her finger. It’s also because of her that he refuses to come back until now!” Through gritted teeth, Hayley continued, “If we let them continue like this, I probably won’t have any chance of marrying into the Sawyer Family.”
When they heard this, Sonia and Nero’s faces immediately sank. They had planned to use Hayley and Nicholas’ marriage to solve their company’s funding problem, so they would never allow anyone to destroy this marriage!
“How dare a mere violinist try to steal my daughter’s husband?” Nero snorted coldly. His eyes narrowed dangerously as he said ominously, “I heard that Tessa has a younger brother…”
Meanwhile, Timothy had no idea what schemes were waiting in store for him. Recently, he had been busy with the company’s affairs. Before this, Sawyer Group suddenly ended the partnership with them, causing them to suffer quite a few losses. However, as Nicholas regained control of the Sawyer Group overseas, he asked Kieran to approach Timothy again and renew the partnership. Now that the two companies were working together again, there were many things he had to handle.
Of course, Timothy also learned about Nicholas staying by his sister’s side abroad through Kieran, which made him extremely satisfied with his brother-in-law. Moreover, with Nicholas accompanying his sister abroad, he could relax and work harder at home.
That night, he made a video call with his sister as usual. As he looked at her happy and sweet smile on the screen, he smiled cheekily and teased, “Looks like Nicholas is all you need in your life, right, Tess?”
Hearing her brother’s playful words, Tessa pretended to glare at him fiercely. “How brave of you to make fun of your sister!”
Timothy was not afraid at all and even tried to drag Nicholas down with him. “Nicholas, look at how embarrassed my sister is.”
On the other hand, Nicholas replied considerately, “She’ll be fine after I calm her down later.”
Next to them, although Gregory didn’t understand what the adults were saying, he still butted into the conversation excitedly. “I’ll calm Miss Tessa down too!”
For a long time, cheerful laughter filled the two phones. Later, Timothy hung up with a smile lingering on the corner of his mouth. When he looked down at the unprocessed documents in front of him and thought of how he and his sister were living better lives now, he was invigorated and motivated once more.
…
The next day, Timothy arrived at the company in a black suit as usual.
“Good morning, President Reinhart.”
“Good morning.”
Along the way, the employees greeted Timothy, and some female employees even began having a crush on him. However, Timothy ignored their gazes.
Time passed quickly when he was working. In the blink of an eye, it was almost noon. Just then, Henry hurriedly knocked on the door and walked into the office.
“Tim, something happened again.”
“What is it?” Compared to Henry’s aggravation, Timothy was very calm. He poured Henry a glass of water and motioned him to speak slowly.
As Henry truly felt thirsty, he gulped down half the glass of water before saying, “Didn’t I tell you before that I’m negotiating with a few projects, and there’s only the contracts left to be signed?”
