Chapter 211
The Sawyer Family sure has lavish spending habits!
Tessa clenched her fists tightly and forced herself to be calm. However, she coauld not stabilize her emotions. It was her first time experiencing the feeling of being dominated by the power and wealth of the wealthy.
The wealthy and the powerful could ruin all the effort she put in over the years with just a simple sentence. To them, doing something like this was as easy as killing an ant.
How is their domineering behavior of destroying my dreams any different from a robber!? It was the first time she ever felt so insignificant in her life. She thought she was strong and powerful; contrary to her expectations, she was completely defenseless when facing the Sawyer Group.
Queenie could tell that the news was a huge blow to Tessa, so she continued ridiculing Tessa coldly. However, Tessa did not hear a single word that was uttered. She simply felt as though her surroundings were very noisy, almost like having a bunch of flies constantly buzzing around her ears. Her thoughts were a mess. Not knowing what to say, she walked straight out of the orchestra instead.
As soon as she stepped on the road, she felt as though a large hand was firmly squeezing her heart. Even her internal organs felt as though they had been emptied out. She felt weak and sick. Her dream, her faith, and her future all crumbled the moment Queenie’s statement came out.
Inside the Sawyer Residence.
“Old Master Sawyer.” After receiving a message from Trevor, the housekeeper immediately came to Remus, who was drinking tea in the hall. “The matter at the orchestra has been resolved. From this moment on, Tessa has officially quit the orchestra.”
Behind the intense tea aroma, Remus nodded indifferently to indicate that he already knew about it.
The housekeeper hesitated slightly when he saw Remus’ calm demeanor. “But, Old Master Sawyer, won’t Master Nicholas come after us once he learns about this matter? What will we do then?”
He had more or less watched Nicholas growing up, so he had a good understanding of Nicholas’ temperament.
Nicholas was very stubborn. If something went against his wishes, then he would do everything in his power to turn the situation around. Meanwhile, although Remus was retired, he was not somebody who would back down easily either. Otherwise, he would not have dominated the market for so many years. If these two were to go against each other…
Remus snorted coldly. “Then, let him come. If that little brat dares to come after me because of a woman, then he can also be said to be very ‘promising”
He did not care whether Nicholas knew about this matter or whether Nicholas would turn against him. He had his ways to deal with his grandson, after all.
Seeing Remus’ attitude, the housekeeper did not dare to say anything else. He could only pray in his heart. I hope Master Nicholas will understand Old Master Sawyer’s painstaking efforts and keep himself and Young Master Gregory away from that woman.
Remus slowly took his cup of tea and took a sip of tea. The look in his eyes was very cold. There was no need for anybody to say anything. He understood his own grandson better than anybody else.
Putting down his tea cup, he lazily looked up at the housekeeper. “How is the progress between that girl from the Stone Family and the brat recently?”
The housekeeper replied, “According to our observations, there seems to be no progress. They have not met in private again since their last meeting.”
Remus coldly suggested, “Tell her to be more proactive. There are many women who want to enter the Sawyer Family; there is no shortage of women like her. If she continues to be so useless, I will let somebody else do the job instead.”
“Alright, Old Master Sawyer.” The housekeeper acknowledged the order.
Tessa was in no hurry to return home, but she had no idea where to go either. Thus, she simply wandered aimlessly along the streets on her own.
Her thoughts were currently a huge mess. Despite racking her head for so long, she could not figure out who among the Sawyer Family would want to target her. Fortunately, it was not as if she gained nothing from all that thinking-she had ruled out Nicholas as a suspect.
Although she had not known him for long, she believed in him. He was not somebody who would do something so insidious. Besides, he just walked out of her house today, and there was nothing strange about him at the time. More importantly, he did not show the slightest hint of guilt.
