Chapter 1067 The Future of the Reinhart Enterprise
Upon hearing this, Remus recalled Tessa’s special concert in his mind. It’s an undeniable fact that the girl has worked hard.
On the other hand, Nicholas immediately clued in on the changes in Remus’ behavior. Hence, he parted his lips again and added, “Tessa is about to give birth now, and who knows, she might give birth to a baby girl. This, too, simply means you will soon have a second great-grandchild. Moreover, children grow up fast. So, Grandpa, you wouldn’t want your future little great-granddaughter to grow up knowing that you dislike her Mommy, will you? How sad will she be?”
As soon as Nicholas said that, Remus’ mind automatically pictured an image of a young and cute great-granddaughter complaining aggrievedly about why he didn’t like Tessa.
In an instant, Remus’ heart softened, and he said, “That’s enough. You don’t need to say anything else.”
After that, he looked up and glanced calmly at Nicholas, his eldest grandson, who was sitting before him and added, “I’m old now anyway, so I can’t really do much about your affairs. Regardless, I hope you have made the right choice.”
“Rest assured, Grandpa. But, of course, I’ve made the right choice.”
A sense of pride crept into Nicholas’ demeanor when he saw Remus finally stop being stubborn.
When Remus laid eyes on Nicholas’ triumphant state, he couldn’t help but sneer, “Don’t be so sure yet. Even though that girl is somewhat outstanding now, in my opinion, she’s still far from being qualified as your partner. Her younger brother, on the other hand, has real talent.”
From Remus’ point of view, although Tessa tried her best to improve herself into an outstanding person, the amount of effort Tessa poured was nothing compared to Timothy’s effort.
Deep down, he felt that the challenge Timothy faced was far more brutal than Tessa’s. That young man is trying to change his family’s circumstances, and based on my lifelong experience, it definitely is a challenging task.
In this regard, even though Nicholas disagreed with Remus dismissing Tessa’s efforts, he couldn’t deny Timothy’s outstanding capabilities. Grandpa is right. Thanks to Timothy developing his business in full force, the current Reinhart Family successfully gained notable standing in Xerthania. Plus, coupled with my support, no outsiders would dare to make things difficult for Timothy. Not only that, no one had made fun of Timothy’s disability. As a matter of fact, the current Southend’s business circle admires Timothy for achieving such remarkable success at such a young age.
As he thought of this, Nicholas praised his wife with a gentle expression, “Tessa is amazing. So it’s only logical to assume that her younger brother, Timothy, won’t be any less talented than her. Besides, Timothy has been dependent on Tessa since he was a child. Therefore, he values Tessa very much.”
Sure enough, Remus perfectly understood the meaning behind Nicholas’ words.
It was just that he couldn’t bring himself to look at his eldest grandson singing the praises of an outsider in such a way. Hence, he snorted, “So what if he values her? Her existence will only be a drag to him anyway.”
As Nicholas looked at Remus, who became stubborn again, a sense of helplessness flashed in his eyes. “Grandpa, I won’t say that if I were you because you might get embarrassed by this remark of yours in the future. But do you know why Timothy is so determined to change his family’s circumstances?”
“Why? He’s doing it for Tessa’s sake?” Remus had a rough guess.
Out of his expectation, his guess really did receive Nicholas’ affirmation. “You are right. He’s doing this for Tessa’s sake.”
At once, Remus frowned with disbelief in his eyes.
Nicholas understood the meaning behind Remus’ expression and explained with a smile, “Back then, Tessa went through a lot of hardships in order to treat Timothy’s injured legs. She even gave up the opportunity to study abroad and worked multiple jobs to afford Timothy’s medical bills. In fact, she even agreed to your absurd request. So tell me: why won’t Timothy strive for Tessa’s sake after she sacrificed so much for him?”
Remus had no choice but to remain silent, for he couldn’t find any words to refute Nicholas’ statement.
Nicholas continued, “Furthermore, you may not know Timothy very well. He is one prideful young man. The way you made things difficult for Tessa back then triggered Timothy to work even harder. So, I can tell you that Reinhart Enterprise’s future will only improve. It won’t take long for the company to be on the same status as the Sawyer Group. As for the hindrance that you’re so worried about, trust me: it won’t happen.”
It was at that moment that Remus had nothing else to say.
That night, Nicholas stayed in the room and had a good, long chat with Remus. He only left the room when he saw Remus was feeling tired.
After he went downstairs, he spotted Kieran and Timothy sitting and drinking in the garden outside through the French window in the living room.
The ambiance surrounding the two under the night sky was pretty harmonious.
At this moment, Kieran noticed Nicholas’ arrival. So, he immediately waved his hand and shouted through the French window, “Nicholas! Come! Join us for drinks!”
