That Can Be Arranged

Chapter 257

At this point, Nicholas didn’t continue speaking, and suddenly, Tessa could visualize Gregory’s situation. She could even feel the helplessness that Nicholas felt at the same time.

Maybe they really didn‘t want to disrupt my life on purpose or allow the Sawyers to make life difficult for me, she thought. In addition, Gregory did look like he had lost a lot of weight recently and he seemed so cautious every time he saw her, which was so unlike his bubbly and lively manner from before.

After hearing everything, Timothy also felt his heart wrenching a little and he peered at his own sister; she wasn’t so mad anymore and there was a mix of frustration and reproach in her eyes.

Silently, he sighed. Tessa sincerely loves Gregory, Timothy thought. Even if she didn’t say it now or even said something heartless, she would still be upset and he didn’t want to see her sad.

Hence, he interjected, “Tess, it’s true that President Sawyer is caught in the middle of this issue, and he’s doing it all for Greg’s sake without thinking so much. He helped us out a lot, though, didn’t he? If it wasn’t for him, my company may not have been able to kick off either.”

Although Tessa was quiet, her heart was already beginning to sway as she thought that Timothy had a point.

Then, Timothy turned to Nicholas. “President Sawyer, you admit that it’s your family who did it. Even though you helped us, you are still the cause of it. Do you agree with this?” Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

In reply, Nicholas nodded.

“I may be powerless, but if Old Master Sawyer continues to make life difficult for us, we won’t care about any affections either,” Timothy continued.

Nicholas nodded again.

Meanwhile, Tessa had recollected her composure and said to Timothy, “There’s one thing, though. Whatever Silas did has nothing to do with President Sawyer and he has to be responsible for it himself. What did Silas do at your workplace?”

Astonished by her words, Nicholas thought, Everything she said earlier was out of anger:

but she‘s actually very rational. This girl is simply too kind–hearted.

In a few words, Timothy told her the story of what had happened in his company earlier in the day.

When Nicholas heard that Timothy was deliberately buying time for three reasons, so that Henry wouldn’t be hurt again, to protect his company’s secrets and to allow time for himself to find out the truth, he couldn’t help but be impressed with him. Not only did Timothy know how to program and create software, he wasn’t a kid who would hide behind his sister’s back and was an extremely calm person instead.

On the other hand, Tessa was again triggered by Silas’ actions, but she was also worried about Henry at the same time since she had also regarded him as her half brother.

Henry was exceptionally kind to Timothy and took care of him when they were in school. Also, he was of great help the last time Silas caused an issue.

And now, he was again caught up in some trouble because of them both. Feeling guilty, she said, “Even though Silas has abducted Henry, I guess he won’t hurt Henry since you promised to give the software.”

“No, since it’s the software that he’s after, he won’t do something stupid again. If we call the police, he won’t have anything to gain either. However, it’s bad for Henry to be in his hands for a long time. President Sawyer, I would like to borrow a few bodyguards from you to get him back from the Reinharts,” Timothy said as a menacing look flashed across his face, which was unlike him.

It was nothing if he was hurt, but Silas should have never ever allowed Sophia to hurt Tessa while abducting Timothy’s best friend to blackmail him. He deserves death for this! Timothy thought.

“There’s no need for so much hassle. If you only want to give Silas a warning, just let Edward go with some men and Henry will be back safely,” Nicholas said.

If Timothy went personally, he would definitely be in conflict with Silas again despite bringing bodyguards where he couldn’t even protect himself, not to mention put up a fight.

However, if it was Edward who went, Silas wouldn’t cause any trouble and would even allow Henry to leave without a fight because he recognized Edward. Everything else would be fine after Edward merely issued his warning.

While Timothy knew this as well, he still shook his head stubbornly. “I have to settle

this matter myself.”
