Chapter 264 The smile on Remus’ face fell a little. “There’s a lot of that. Which one are you asking about?”
“Grandpa, you know what I’m asking about, and this will be the last time I’m asking you. Why exactly are
you picking on the Reinhart siblings so much?” an emotionless Nicholas asked.
After Remus snorted, he answered, “Picking on them? I’ve told you the reason very clearly the last time.
That girl is not good enough for you, and you should stay away from her while it’s not too late. If you
keep being so close with them, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
“Grandpa!” Nicholas exclaimed angrily.
“What? You have the guts to raise your voice at me and challenge me because of that woman? Nicholas
Sawyer, there’s a limit to my patience as well, and you keep trying it time after time. Do you really think
that I’ll just let you do as you wish?” he snapped.
As he stood motionlessly, Nicholas’ sculptured face was incredibly grim. Even though Remus had always
been a man of his words, Nicholas wasn’t a person who couldn’t scheme either. If both of them really
went head to head against each other, nobody could predict who the winner would be in the end.

Finally, Remus sighed, as though he was defeated by Nicholas’ stubbornness.
He said, “I am the one who brought you up, Nicholas, so I won’t ever harm you. All you have to know is
that no matter what I do, I do it for your own good. It’s undeniable that you’re running the company well,
but relationships are complicated. When you were schooling and in the military, you didn’t have much
contact with girls, and I’m worried that you’ll be misled. If you really want someone like Tessa Reinhart,
there are plenty of girls like her on the streets outside. She’s nothing special and you can just forget
about her after having a fling with her. However, if you’re really looking for a wife, you have to search for
one from a prestigious family because that’s the correct choice. If you really think that you’re having too
much free time despite the work in the company, then you can look for Hayley who’s missing you very
much.”
A solemn Nicholas said immediately, “I don’t like Hayley. Don’t bother to match us up.”
Once again, Remus’ anger sparked. “Who do you like if not her? That Reinhart girl? Don’t even think
about it because it’s impossible. As long as I’m still around, she can forget about stepping into the
Sawyer Family.”
Nicholas’ voice turned a few notches colder. “You should enjoy your retirement in peace, Grandpa. Take
care of your health, and if you’re bored, just do some gardening while cultivating your health and well-
being. Don’t interfere with my affairs again. Also, don’t make any decisions for me and hurt innocent
people in the name of ‘for my own good.”
While Remus took it that Nicholas had indirectly admitted his liking for Tessa, he was furious when he
heard all the sarcastic and hostile things that his grandson had just said. “Nicholas Sawyer, if you really
want the best for her, tell her to obediently leave Brentwood. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being
ruthless.”
“If that’s the case, then there’s nothing to discuss between us. You can give it a try,” Nicholas threatened
in a low growl and left the place directly in big strides.
After he left, all the peace and leisure which were previously on Remus’ face were gone. In its place was
menacing fury. “Damn it!”
Meanwhile, Nicholas was looking glum after leaving the mansion. Although Remus refused to tell him the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmreason he was picking on Tessa, he was already sure that Remus had a great deal of malice for her.
What would the exact reason be to make a weak girl like Tessa the target of Remus’ attack to the point
where Remus would do all that he could to match Nicholas with another?
Could it be… Tessa is Greg’s birth mother? Nicholas wondered.
It seemed that there were a lot of similarities between Tessa and Gregory’s biological mother-seafood
allergy and musically gifted. In addition, Tessa even had the same scar and tattoo which that woman
had. All these were simply too much of a coincidence.
The woman from before was arranged by Remus, so he definitely knew who she was. However, if Tessa
was that woman, why didn’t she recognize Remus, and why did she get close to Gregory? Wasn’t she
the one who abandoned him?
Everything was just so odd.
Seeing that Nicholas didn’t look good after leaving the Sawyers, Edward could guess that Nicholas didn’t
manage to get the answers which he wanted from Remus.
