Chapter 702 Retort
“No need for the meal. As for the apology, I don’t think it’s necessary either.”
Timothy gave Lucas a cold look as he said without mercy, “I’ve clearly told Miss Turner yesterday that the partnership between our families has come to an end.”
Hearing that, Lucas turned pale in the face. He was also a little annoyed, thinking that Timothy was too cruel with his choice of words.
Even if he was very dissatisfied, he could only endure it because of Timothy’s relationship with Nicholas.
As he was about to persuade a change of heart, the door to the office suddenly opened.
Tessa walked in with a lunch box because she had promised her brother that she would deliver his meals today. When Timothy saw Tessa walking in, his originally haughty face turned gentle in an instant.
“Tess, you’re here.”
Tessa nodded as she walked over to him, carrying the lunch box.
When Yvette saw Tessa walking slowly toward them, her face fell.
She never thought that this woman was Timothy’s sister and also the mistress of the Sawyer Group. When she remembered the horrible words she said to this woman, her face instantly turned pale.
Just then, Tessa frowned when she caught sight of Yvette and her father sitting on the couch. Even though she didn’t know Lucas, Lucas looked very much like Yvette, so it wasn’t difficult to guess their relationship.
“Why are they here?”
“Nothing, they’ll be gone soon.”
With that, Timothy asked his assistant to escort the guests out.
Lucas also guessed Tessa’s identity, and he was reluctant to leave.
But he knew that if he stayed, he would only annoy Timothy and Tessa even more. So, he left quickly with Yvette.
Once out of the building, Lucas thought about how they had lost their golden opportunity to get involved with the prestigious Sawyer Group, and the more he thought about it, the more pissed he got.
“You useless thing! You’ve cut off the chance for our family to advance further just like that!”
In his anger, he gave Yvette a solid slap straight away.
Yvette covered her face, mad and upset, and she couldn’t help but defend herself.
“Who knew that that woman would hide her identity? If she had told me who she was earlier, I wouldn’t have done that, and everything afterward wouldn’t have happened either.”
“You’re the one who lost your cool, but you still have the audacity to blame someone else?” Lucas immediately questioned the way his daughter rationalized her decisions. On the other hand, Yvette fell silent, unable to say anything in return. Timothy! Tessa! The both of you are horrible!
In the office, Tessa watched her brother eat as she asked, “What’s up with those two just now?”
“They’re here to apologize, but I have no intentions of forgiving them.”
Timothy explained the incident in broad strokes, and Tessa approved of his decision. “That’s good; it can stop that woman from bothering you.”
“I think so too.”
With that, Timothy asked in concern, “Have you eaten, Tess?”
“Yes, I have. I ate with Greg at home.”
As Tessa spoke, she began chatting about daily life with her brother. The two laughed and talked happily, which was a warm sight to behold.
After the meal, Tessa accompanied her brother in the office for a while before leaving with the lunch box. She had just left the company when she was blocked by Yvette, who appeared out of nowhere.
Yvette stared daggers at Tessa, gritting her teeth as she said, “You’re Timothy’s sister, but why didn’t you reveal your identity at first? Do you enjoy seeing me mess up?”
Hearing that, Tessa immediately switched to a cold expression. She never thought that Yvette wouldn’t realize her own mistakes and even came to question her.
“First of all, you never gave me a chance, so I didn’t get to tell you my identity. Also, I don’t mind anyone pursuing my brother. However, I don’t want a woman as arrogant and mean as you to get close to my brother or to become my sister-in-law. Also, you never thought much of my brother either.”
As Yvette listened to Tessa’s straightforward speech, she seemed a little embarrassed.
