Chapter 1427 He Can’t Be So Heartless
Nicholas' sharp ears naturally caught the hint of displeasure in his tone, but he merely
smirked and said calmly, "I wasn't really thinking then."
Liar! Timothy sneered inwardly but didn't call Nicholas that to his face.
Soon, they reached Dynasty Gardens, where Tessa initially wanted Timothy and Sabrina to
stay for the night. However, they insisted on returning, so she didn't force the matter.
When they were back in the living room, Nicholas asked the servant to help Gregory wash
up for the night before he urged Tessa, "You should get ready for bed, too. It's been days
since you had a good sleep."
"What about you?" Tessa asked, turning to look at him.
He wanted to tell her that he was going to the study, but she had already read his mind
before he could even give voice to his thoughts.
She grabbed his hand and shot him a reprimanding glare. "You're not allowed to go to the
study. Come to bed with me."
Her bossy attitude made him chuckle softly as he conceded to her mother henning.
Therefore, he obediently washed up as they lay in each other's arms on the bed.

Tessa wasn't feeling quite so sleepy at the moment, so she started chatting idly with him.
"Thank God, Kieran is fine. Otherwise, I'm worried that Mom might not be able to handle
the blow so well," she began. Then, the annoyance caught up to her as she was also kept
in the dark about his plans, so she smacked his chest lightly. "Also, you kept such an
important thing from mom and dad because you're worried that they'll give your plan
away. I can understand that logic. But you even kept me in the dark! Am I a cause for
concern as well?"
"I didn't keep it from you. I told you about it," he said, catching her fist in his hand.
She immediately froze as she tilted her head and gave him a puzzled look. "When did you
tell me?"
"Do you remember that time when you lamented that Kieran didn't have a chance to get
married? I told you that he'll have the chance for that."
His answer immediately reminded her that such a conversation did happen between them,
and she said with a huff of amusement, "I thought you were merely comforting yourself at
that time, so I didn't take you seriously!"
"So, you're the one who didn't listen to me. You can't blame me for not telling you," he
argued, defending himself.
Tessa had no words to refute, but she jokingly threatened, "Don't lie to me again, or else
I'll move into Greg's room."
Meanwhile, Timothy had dropped Sabrina home safe and sound. The next day, Tessa and
Nicholas woke up wonderfully well-rested as they weren't disturbed from their slumber.
Alas, the moment they were just finished with their breakfast, Edward frantically came in
search of Nicholas. When Nicholas saw how anxious Edward seemed, he immediately
brought him to the study and sat down at the desk before asking, "What brings you here
so early? Did something happen?"
"I just found out that Zachary and his people are trying to get Adam and Joseph out,"
Edward said.
Nicholas sneered, "They want to bail them out? I would like to see what they're capable of
and how they plan to do it."
In the meantime, at the police station, Zachary and Calvin had brought their lawyer and
were trying to negotiate with the police. Their main intention was to bail out the elderly
men, but the officers in charge harshly denied their request.

send them to prison. Rather than trying to bail them out, why don't you speak with your
fathers so that they'll cooperate and assist with the investigation?" the police officer
questioned sharply.
Of course, the men refused to heed the police officer's words as this would mean getting a
confession out of Joseph and Adam. Eventually, they were left with no choice as they had
to leave the police station with gloomy faces.
"What are we going to do now? I'm sure that Nicholas has forewarned the police, and they
won't release our fathers just like that," Calvin complained as he and Felix turned to
Zachary for help.
Zachary narrowed his eyes as he pondered their options and snorted. "Let's go to Uncle
Remus. I can't believe that he could be so heartless as to leave our fathers in a lurch."
His suggestion quickly received the approval of his two younger brothers, and they soon
arrived at Sawyer Residence.
When Remus heard from Ian that they had arrived, his first reaction was to chase them
off, but in the end, he agreed to meet them because he wanted to find out whether they
were here for their fathers' sake or to apologize.
On the other hand, the three others didn't know what was on Remus' mind and that their
actions would spell their fathers' doom.
