Chapter 263
“What happened?” Remus asked, raising his gaze.
Andrew answered truthfully, “Old Master Sawyer, maybe Young Master Nicholas isn’t as simple as we think. After canceling the instructions, he followed Timothy home and ran into Tessa being bullied by some people. Then, he took care of the thugs and went upstairs together with the siblings.”
Then, he continued, “A short while after, they went to Silas’ place in a big group and beat up Silas and his bodyguards, and even dragged him to the police station to settle their family problems for them. I’m afraid that Master Nicholas is serious this time. It’s said that Tessa was really so mad that she even said that she wanted to break all ties with Master Nicholas and Gregory, asking him not to disrupt their lives. However, Master Nicholas has somehow managed to turn her mind around.”
Upon hearing that, Remus paused mid-air from taking a sip of his tea and slammed the cup hard on the table. The composed look on his face had completely disappeared and he looked a little furious.
“That rascal!”
After all his meticulous calculations, including correctly predicting Tessa’s reaction, he didn’t expect that it was his own grandson who didn’t act according to his expectations. Let Tessa be if she’s angry and left in a huff, he thought. Why did he talk her around and explain things to her?
Remus never imagined that the grandson whom he had brought up himself to be so outstanding that no one else in Brentwood could match him, that high and mighty young president of a company, would do all this for Tessa’s sake.
It was based on this point alone that the Reinhart siblings had to go.
“That lass has to go,” Remus said solemnly.
A concerned Andrew asked, “Sir, we already interfered with these two siblings thrice, and Master Nicholas is well aware of it as well. He’s not dumb, and he’ll definitely be suspicious. If we continue to make a few more obvious moves, he’ll start to investigate and we probably won’t be able to hide what happened back then. When that time comes, things may get very complicated.”
Remus snorted softly. “I have a way to deal with that. Just do what you are told.”
In fact, he knew very well that with Nicholas’ intelligence and ability, it definitely wouldn’t take him long to find out the truth.
So what even if he finds out, though? He hates the woman who abandoned Greg to the core, and it won’t change anything even if that woman is Tessa. The only thing that would change is, the two people who were previously nice to her would hate her and find her disgusting. At that time, she won’t even be able to stay in Brentwood without the need for me to chase her away.
There was nothing good about a woman who would give birth to a baby out of wedlock for money and abandon her own child.
Remus’ plan had almost never gone wrong, and he was sincerely doing it for the Sawyer Family and Nicholas. Undoubtedly, Andrew knew how much Remus had poured in and wouldn’t go against his wishes. “Yes, Sir,” he answered with a nod.
Nicholas had been standing outside the door of the main hall for a long time and overheard a big part of their conversation. Since a long time ago, he already knew that Remus had secretly sent someone to follow him, but such a menial thing didn’t bother him.
Judging from all the things that recently happened, he vaguely felt that Remus was really hiding something from him, and it was an important thing at that. Unfortunately, these two elders had been in the business world for decades and were very sharp, knowing what should be said and what not. When they were speaking, a lot of important information was directly skipped over.
Years of working together had created a strong rapport between them, and some things were understood without even the need to say it out loud.
Therefore, Nicholas didn’t hear anything useful, but a seed of doubt had been planted in his heart, and he marched in with big strides.
“You’re here?” Enjoying a sip of tea from his cup, Remus returned to his usual leisure self and greeted his eldest grandson with a smile. “You’ve been making frequent visits here recently, rascal. Are you here to have a game of chess with me?”
Knowing that Remus was avoiding the topic with him, Nicholas didn’t fall for it and asked straightforwardly, “Just what are you hiding from me?”
