Chapter 823 Wanda’s Schemes

Wanda took a glimpse of the caller ID to realize that it was an incoming call from Tessa. Nicholas did not notice her action as he picked up the phone with a gentle expression.

“What’s the matter?”

“What would you like for dinner? I’m going to cook tonight.” Tessa’s brisk voice resounded from the other side of the line.

The corner of his lips curled upward and he replied in a gentle voice, “I’ll love anything that you make.”

Wanda stared at him in a daze as though he was a stranger. It was because she had never seen him being so gentle. The intense jealousy crept into her heart almost instantly.

Meanwhile, he had ended the call and his brows furrowed when he saw her standing at the same spot. “Anything else?”

In other words, she could leave if there was nothing else. She naturally understood what he meant by that and her stomach churned. The indifference worn on his countenance made her wonder, Am I no match for Tessa?

After leaving Sawyer Group, she entered the car as a question seeped into her mind. Why did Tessa suddenly return to the country?

“Did something happen?” she muttered to herself.

Wanda asked someone to look into it as soon as she returned home. Later at midnight, she was shocked by the received information from her subordinates.

“So, the band got rid of her because it’s related to someone’s death. No wonder she’s back in the country.”

Her eyes glittered as she figured that she should make use of the incident for herself. Next day, a malicious Wanda brought along some supplements to Sawyer Residence to pay Remus a visit.

She caught sight of him sitting on the couch once she entered the house. In a lovely voice, she greeted, “Old Master Sawyer, I’m here to see you.”

“Didn’t I tell you that there’s no need to bring so much stuff whenever you’re here?” In spite of that, he grew fond of her to see her being so caring.

He asked her to take a seat before asking concernedly, “How’s your company doing lately?”

“Everything’s fine. It’s all thanks to Nicholas and Kieran’s help.” Wanda updated him about the company’s latest situation.

“Glad to hear that. You’re doing well.” Remus nodded and complimented her.

“You’re flattering me, Old Master Sawyer. I still have a lot to learn compared to Nicholas and Kieran.” She was slick with her words by giving the credits to Nicholas implicitly. After all, everyone loved it when others praised their kids and grandchildren.

The light conversation continued until she steered the topic to Tessa on purpose. “Old Master Sawyer, I’ve heard that there’s a woman staying in Nicholas’ place. I’m kinda worried that he’s tricked by her.”

Hearing that, Remus understood who Wanda was talking about. However, her final statement bothered him as his face darkened. “How so?”

“I saw her by chance and she seems familiar to me for some reason. So, I looked into it once I got home, but I’m really surprised to find that she has caused someone’s death. I heard bad comments about her character as well.”

The glint in his eyes dimmed when he heard that. From the very beginning, he had been saying that Tessa was not the match for Nicholas. Yet, Nicholas insisted on marrying that woman as if he was cast by a spell! How dare she stay by Nicholas’ side when she has done such a thing! Is she trying to ruin his life?!

Sensing the seething fury in him, Wanda smiled faintly with smugness because she had achieved her goals.

Afterward, Remus sent her off before calling Ian to give his order. “Ask Tessa to stop by when you’re free.”

Looking at the livid Old Master, Ian could make a vague guess on what he was planning to do. “Are you sure? It’s a one-sided story from Miss Muller. Master Nicholas will be angry if he finds out about it.”
