Chapter 87
Besides Sophia, Patrick could guess what she was thinking. As he watched her grit her teeth with hatred, he knew she wouldn’t be going down that route.
So, he could only suggest an alternative. “Miss Sophia, if you’re really unwilling to do it, then we can find another way. Well, why don’t you try talking to Sawyer Group and ask them to let Mr. Reinhart off the hook? After all, Sawyer Group is the one behind all this. If they do the talking, the police won’t be so stubborn. It’s useless for us to brainstorm because none of us has the power to affect the Sawyer Group!”
Hearing that, Sophia had her expression turned even darker, and the hatred in her heart only burned fiercer. If she could get in touch with Sawyer Group, she wouldn’t have to ask Tessa in the first place!
Also, the Little Prince of the Sawyer Family is now obsessed with Tessa! Even if she went there, she would only be shown the door!
Sophia thought long and hard about it. In the end, she realized that this whole incident could only be resolved through Tessa.
However, if she begged Tessa, her pride would be mercilessly stepped on by that wretch.
No!I refuse! will never compromise with that wretched Tessa!
Sophia’s expression kept shifting, her mind desperately thinking of ways to get out of this pickle.
Suddenly, a wizened face occurred to her…
Right, Grandma! I can ask Grandma to come back!
When Tessa and her family were chased away, Grandma had a part in it! Now that my parents are in jail, she will do something about it!Then, Tessa and her brother will get what they deserve!
As Sophia thought of the idea, her sour expression turned into joy.
She looked up at Patrick and said, “I have an idea. I’ll ask my grandmother to come over, and then she’ll order those siblings to let my parents go. I don’t believe they’d rebel against her!”
With that, she took out her phone and called Amber Reinhart.
Behind her, Patrick watched as she dialed. Oh, girl! I think this is a horrible decision!.
Patrick had met Amber before. She was an unreasonable woman whose irrationality only worsened with her age, and she was likely on par with Lauren in terms of foolishness.
If Amber got involved in this, Tessa and her brother might become more stubborn and vicious instead!
Patrick had worked as a lawyer in Reinhart for more than ten years. He had a clear picture of all the terrible things Silas did in secret.
Now, with Silas getting into this situation, he more or less deserved it. He had treated the siblings poorly all this while. He never compensated them, but instead, he had done many things to inflict harm on those two.
The whole family had even teamed up to oppress them.
Honestly, Patrick had had enough of their behaviors, so he shook his head with a sigh. He could only watch as Sophia exaggerated Tessa’s and her brother’s faults over the phone.
Around five minutes later, the call finally ended.
There was obvious shrewdness and glee in Sophia’s eyes. “Done! Grandma has agreed to come tomorrow. Mr. Kramer, you can go back now and leave things to me.”
Patrick nodded, albeit hesitating a little. “Then… how do you plan to explain the disappearance of Mr. Reinhart to the company?”
Sophia thought for a while before answering. “Simple. I’ll just tell them that Dad is feeling unwell. It’ll be a temporary facade, and everything will be solved when Dad gets out.”
Patrick nodded in understanding, after which he quickly turned to leave.
At Dynasty Gardens, Tessa was drawing with Gregory after a violin lesson. The two leaned against the coffee table, the boy’s little legs swinging happily. He looked very adorable indeed.
“I’m done!”
Gregory completed his masterpiece and shyly passed it to Tessa.
Tessa took the picture and gave it a look. She beamed, as if in delighted surprise.
