Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 437

Chapter 437 Sever Ties With Stone Enterprise
“You did tell me that.” Timothy nodded and asked, “Has there been any changes in these projects?”
“That’s right. These projects have all been intercepted.” At the thought, Henry became annoyed. “I thought that something was wrong when this happened, so I contacted the people in charge of those projects. Do you know what they said?”
Timothy frowned, a speculation surfacing in his mind. He tentatively said, “Is someone targeting us?”
“Exactly.” Henry slammed his hands on the table angrily before continuing, “Those who were in charge told me that we might have offended people we shouldn’t have offended, and they said that if this matter isn’t resolved, no one will dare to work with us in the future!”
At the end, he was practically forcing the words out through gritted teeth.
Of course, Timothy’s expression dropped a little at those words. Almost immediately, he thought of Sawyer Group. After all, they had done something like this more than once. However, he soon thought that it was impossible. Now that Sawyer Group was firmly under Nicholas’ control, they wouldn’t target him anymore. In that case… who else would target him?
In the general manager’s office at Sawyer Group, Kieran’s assistant was reporting the latest news he had received, “Almost no companies in Southend are willing to cooperate with Timothy because of Stone Enterprise’s interference. Do we need to help them?”
Because Nicholas had asked Kieran to take care of Timothy before leaving the country, Kieran had asked his assistant to keep a close eye on Timothy. Upon hearing that Timothy was being targeted by the Stone Family, Kieran looked upset, his expression dark.
After giving it some thought, he instructed, “Spread the news about the partnership between Timothy and Sawyer Group and let them know that he’s one of us.”
“Understood.” The secretary heeded his orders and left.
Soon, Kieran was the only one left in the office. However, he didn’t idle around and immediately took out his phone to contact his brother, intending to tell him about the issue.
“What’s wrong?” On the screen, Nicholas’ expressionless face appeared in the video.
Seeing that, Kieran couldn’t help but mock, “Nicholas, you’re already dating someone, so why are you still as cold as before? Aren’t you scared Tessa would think you’re boring?”
“She wouldn’t.”
“You don’t know that for sure…”
“That’s because the way I treat you is different from the way I treat her.”
This guy… Before Kieran could finish speaking, he was completely defeated by Nicholas. He gritted his teeth and said, “You really are my brother.”
Nicholas’ lips curved upward a little; he was seemingly amused by Kieran’s glum appearance. He said, “If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up.”
“Who said there’s nothing else?” Kieran hurriedly stopped his brother and told him what happened to Timothy’s company. “I’ve already found out that Stone Enterprise is behind this.”
When he heard that, Nicholas’ expression darkened. Needless to say, he also knew why Stone Enterprise was targeting Timothy.
He sneered, his voice cold with anger, “Who gave Stone Enterprise the courage?” Kieran was about to continue when his brother’s chilly voice came from the phone again. “Pass down my orders; starting from today, Sawyer Group will terminate all existing partnerships with Stone Enterprise.”
Kieran was rendered speechless. He could only give full marks to his brother’s protectiveness.
However, he felt that it wasn’t a good idea to sever all ties with Stone Enterprise, so he persuaded, “Nicholas, calm down for a second. We have several projects in cooperation with the Stone Enterprise. If we suddenly cut them off, the losses would be too great. Besides, Old Master Stone has a good relationship with our grandfather. If we stop the partnerships, Grandpa’s gonna find out about it, and it’ll be troublesome in the future.”
At those words, Nicholas’ frown deepened. He had always drawn a clear line between his work and private life, and he hated trouble.
Kieran knew his brother well, and seeing that he wasn’t being as persistent as earlier, he continued, “Don’t worry now. I’ve already asked someone to reconcile with them, and I promise that Timothy won’t suffer because of this. In addition, if Stone Enterprise continues to plot against them after this, causing things to escalate, then we’ll figure out how to deal with it. That way, even if the Stone Family complains to Grandpa, we would have an excuse and there would be a lot less trouble.”
