Chapter 221

Tessa could not bear watching as Gregory sobbed his heart out. Nevertheless, she turned away and
refused to look at him. All she coldly said to Nicholas was, “Please leave, President Sawyer.”
Nicholas took in her expression, feeling more and more confused. What on Earth is she trying to do? It’s
clear that she is reluctant to part with Greg. Even so, he did not expose her lie. He simply turned to
Gregory and said, “Gregory Sawyer, come here. Let’s go home.”
“But, Daddy… Miss Tessa…” Gregory was crying so hard that he was out of breath and couldn’t string a
coherent sentence together. He simply hugged Tessa’s leg tightly to express what he wanted to say.
“Stop crying. Miss Tessa is busy. I’ll bring you here once she is done with her work.” Nicholas was feeling
exasperated. Gregory’s current attitude could only be overcome through coaxing. He had to coax the
child and bring him home before he could do anything else.

Gregory glanced up at Tessa before he glanced at his father. In the end, he nodded. “Okay.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfterward, he put on his small backpack and left her house with Nicholas.
When the father-and-son pair returned to the Dynasty Gardens, Gregory was still sobbing non-stop.
However, he understood in his heart that Tessa’s current attitude clearly indicated that she did not wish
to see him. If he stubbornly refused to leave, he might never get a chance to see her again in the future.
Nicholas was afraid that Gregory might kick up a fuss at home, so he did not return to the company. He
simply called Edward to inform the other party that he was working from home.
Not long afterward, Edward handed the documents that needed to be processed to Nicholas.
“President Sawyer, I’ve finished investigating the matter you asked me to investigate,” he reported. “Miss
Reinhart was fired by the Heavenly Chorus Orchestra. It is said to be Old Master Sawyer’s directive.
Moreover, Old Master Sawyer ordered that she be banned from the entire industry.”
Nicholas furrowed his eyebrows tightly together. Why is Grandpa targeting the Reinhart
siblings? Just what is his objective? He immediately drove to the Sawyer Residence.
The moment Nicholas stepped through the door of the Sawyer Residence, he saw Remus calmly
drinking tea and looking very comfortable.
Remus was not very surprised to see Nicholas. He simply looked up calmly and said, “Since you’re here,
why don’t you sit down and drink some tea with me?”
Nicholas’ expression was grim. “What are you trying to do?”
“Have a taste of this Dragon Well tea. The girl from the Stone Family gave me this a few days ago. The
taste is magnificent. The old man of the Stone Family has collected a lot of good tea over the years.”
Remus picked up his teacup and lightly sniffed the aroma of the tea.
Nicholas might be familiar with the art of tea drinking, but that did not mean that he was in the mood for
tea. Seeing how Remus was playing dumb and acting like he didn’t understand, he got straight to the
point. “Grandpa, why are you targeting the Reinhart siblings?”
Remus chuckled softly. “Nicholas, you are the heir of the Sawyer Family. You should be focusing on your
work, not standing up for others. It turns out that the Sawyer Family has gotten so idle that they have
time to stick their noses in other people’s business while I was away.”
Nicholas scowled. “Grandpa, you know why I’m here, so don’t try to suppress me with these words. I’m
not trying to stand up for anybody. I just want to know how these siblings have offended you that you
have to be so ruthless toward them.”
Remus coldly snorted at those words. “Ruthless? Little brat, do you know what it means to be ruthless?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDon’t interfere in this matter.” He paused for a moment. “By the way, if you have so much time on your
hands, why don’t you meet the girl from the Stone Family more often? You should marry her soon.”
“I refuse. Greg is not willing either.” Nicholas’ voice turned frosty,

.
Remus seemed to have expected Nicholas’ response, so he was not surprised in the slightest. He even
responded in a flat tone, “You don’t like that girl? That’s fine. Have you gone through the pictures I sent
you previously? Choose one from among them. Just let me know if you find somebody you like.”
Nicholas gritted his teeth. “Don’t change the subject. If you are targeting the siblings,
then you should at least give me a reason. If they are in the wrong, you won’t need to do anything
yourself. I will do it for you.”
“A reason? The reason is that the girl is not worthy of the Sawyer Family. I neither wish nor agree for you
to marry an unknown person like her. How can she enter the Sawyer Family when she can’t even handle
her family affairs properly?”
