Nicholas noticed Tessa's presence when she arrived at the door.
Nicholas noticed Tessa's presence when she arrived at the door.
He did not hold back a single scrap of information at all and briefly told Tessa everything
that was happening with Timothy.
After hearing about Timothy's situation, she was infuriated.
"How can Harper be so evil? Isn't he afraid of karma?"
When he saw how angry she was, he stepped forward to lead her over to sit down on the
couch. "Don't worry about this. Edward is handling the matter. Timothy won't suffer."
"I can't stop worrying. If Henry is not saved, Timothy would be affected."
She frowned, her face painted in worry.
Seeing that, he dipped his head down to kiss her on the forehead and reassured her, "It
will be fine. I'm here. Why don't you take a nap? I'll update you when we have more
news."
"Forget about the nap. There's no way I can calm myself down while this situation is still
ongoing. I'll wait here with you."
She immediately shook her head to reject the suggestion.

After hearing her reply, he did not try to persuade her another time.
…
Meanwhile, a few black cars were speeding down a wide tar road.
In one of the cars, Edward was telling Timothy what Nicholas' instructions were.
"Mr. Sawyer wants you to find a way to distract Harper. We have already found the place
Henry is being held at."
"I understand," Timothy replied. "I'll do my best."
Nicholas noticed Tessa's presence when she arrived at the door.
He nodded with a cold look on his face.
The group soon arrived at the agreed-upon location.
After getting out of the car, Timothy spotted Harper's subordinate. "I am here to meet
Harper. Where is he?"
"Mr. Quinn is inside. His orders were that you could head straight in once you arrive, Mr.
Reinhart."
The subordinate then gestured for Timothy to head inside.
With a blank look on his face, Timothy walked into the building.
When he saw Harper, his handsome face immediately darkened.
"I'm here. Where's my friend?"
"You are such a great man, Mr. Reinhart. You don't have to worry about your friend."
Harper grinned as he greeted Timothy. He then shot his assistant a glance before slowly
stating, "Since you're here, let's get to the point. Sign the document."
As he spoke, his assistant placed a document before Timothy; it was a technology transfer
agreement.
Staring down at the document, Timothy felt his rage burn brighter.
He was absolutely disgusted by Harper's ways.
Instead of reaching for the document, he turned to sneer at Harper as he bluntly declared,
"There is no way I will sign this."
"Oh? It seems like you haven't made up your mind yet."
Harper did not get angry though. He merely shot Timothy a vicious smile.
For some reason, Timothy sensed a menacing slant in that smile.

entire body was stiff.
"It is not a matter of making a decision. This project was completed through the blood and
sweat of many people. I cannot make this decision on my own. Furthermore…"
"What else?"
Harper stared at Timothy with curiosity in his eyes. He wanted to see just what trick
Timothy was going to pull.
Timothy glanced down to hide the sharp glint in his eyes. "Furthermore, I require the
agreement of my business partner, Henry."
He had consciously said that because it would win him some time and also protect Henry
just in case Harper was going to do something to Henry again.
At the same time, he wanted to see if Harper would bring Henry out to sign the contract.
Hence, he continued, "Without Henry, I cannot sign this agreement, especially now that
he's missing. I came all the way here because I wanted to ask if you know where he is.
However, it seems like you don't. There's nothing I can do then."
There was no way Harper could not tell that Timothy was trying to pull a trick over him.
Harper's eyes darkened as he clenched his jaw. Then, he smiled. "You're so humble, Mr.
Reinhart. Everyone knows you are the only one holding the entire company up. I think that
you have the power to sign even without Mr. Tompkins' approval. Don't you think so?"
