Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 74

Chapter 74
So, it was still a lost case. This made Tessa extremely difficult to accept in her heart.
In the blink of an eye, the time was now 8:00AM. After Timothy thought about it the whole night, he finally made a decision.
When Lauren came, he spoke in a cold voice. “If you want the software in my hands, I can give it to you, but I have two conditions. First, you have to release my sister and make sure she is safe and sound. Second, you have to give me 10 million. This software is the result of joint research and development between me and my friend, so I have to give him his due.”
When she heard these demands, it was as if she was listening to a joke. She sneered, “Timothy, why do you think you are qualified to state to us your conditions? Let me tell you, the only choice you have now is to give us the software you have for free, and I will let you and your sister go. It’s that simple!”
She was implying that they didn’t want to pay anything in exchange for the product without any due compensation! At this, his eyes glowed with rage.
They must be dreaming! However, Timothy was not naïve. He knew well what the Reinhart Family’s situation was like now, so even if Lauren really wanted to marry his sister off, there might not be someone willing to pay a high price for the bride, in which Lauren might not be able to get what she wanted.
It was something that Timony had realized after thinking about it for the whole night. Thus, he sneered with a cold face. “Lauren, do you think you can threaten me with this?”
Lauren’s pupils contracted; she gritted out between her teeth, “You little brat, what do you mean?”
Looking indifferent, he rebuked, “I mean, if you do not do as I say, then we shall just tear each other apart without a deal. Anyway, if my sister is harmed in any way, I’ll drag the Reinhart Family down with us! Let’s see whether the Reinhart Family can afford being struck!”
“Y-You brat! How dare you!” Her throat tightened as her voice trembled with anger. She knew that Tessa was stubborn, but she did not expect that Timothy also had a tough attitude. She originally planned to grab Tessa and thereafter use her to intimidate Timothy to force him to behave, but Tessa had actually escaped! In this way, all of Lauren’s threats would not work on him.
Lauren was so angry that her breathing hitched. Gritting her teeth again, she glowered at Timothy with hatred. It seems that we have to use more force on these two to get what we want!
However, just as she was about to do something, Silas suddenly spoke from the side, “I will give 1 million, but no more.”
Saying that, he handed the phone directly to Timothy, then ordered, “Call your classmate now and have him send that software over. Otherwise, I will send your sister to the Linus Corporation.”
Linus Corporation? Timothy had never heard of the name, but his intuition told him that the Linus Corporation was definitely not a good place to go to.
“Hah.” As he was pondering, Sophia suddenly laughed at the side. She looked at Timothy disdainfully and gloated, “The young master of Linus Corporation is of an excellent husband material. It is said that he has married two women before. One of them was forced to commit suicide because she couldn’t stand domestic violence whereas other one disappeared without a trace overnight and her whereabouts are still unknown. Tsk, my sister will be very ‘happy’ if she can marry him.”
Hearing this, he felt his blood surge with fury whereupon he roared in rage, “Silas, how dare you!”
Silas narrowed his eyes contemptuously. “Why wouldn’t I dare? Brat, if you don’t want me to mess with your sister, immediately call your classmate. I want to see whether you think money is more important
than your sister!”
Timothy clenched his teeth in outrage, the sarcasm in his eyes incomparably deep. “Silas, do you think everyone is as cold blooded as you and only care about money? You b*stard! You will never meet a good end!”
After saying that, he grabbed his phone and called Henry.
