Seeing that his beloved wife had let go of the worry, Nicholas struck the iron while it was
hot and pulled her into his arms. “Alright, enough about your brother. Let’s talk about us.”
“What about us?” Tessa looked bafflingly at Nicholas, who lowered his head and pressed
his forehead against hers. “What do you think? You’ve been so busy with your rehearsal
lately, not to mention you have to keep Gregory company after coming home. Every time
I’m done with work, you’re already asleep. Don’t you think you’ve neglected your husband
long enough? Hmm?”
It was an alluring, husky hum, and Tessa was entirely enraptured. With that, she wrapped
her arms around Nicholas’ neck and asked with an enchanting smile, “How would my dear
husband like me to make up to him?”
“He wants this.” The next second, Nicholas lowered his head to kiss Tessa, who returned

bedroom grew warmer amidst their passion.
Sometime later, a sated Nicholas wiped Tessa’s hands for her. “I’m blaming it all on you if I
can’t hold my violin tomorrow.” Tessa glared alluringly at Nicholas with a face flushed with
bashfulness.
“Perfect. You can take the chance to rest.” He looked toward her with glee. As tempting as
it sounded, rest was impossible.
The following morning, Tessa headed to the practice room right after breakfast, and
Nicholas, too, made his way to the company.
Soon after arriving at his office, Edward knocked on the door and came in to report some
work before finally updating the results of his search from the night before. “I’ve gotten a

lead on Reinhart Group’s incident, President.”
“Who is it?” Nicholas turned grim at once.
“It’s not one person who’s attacking Reinhart Group but a few companies,” revealed
Edward with shock and bewilderment.
He couldn’t believe some people dared risk offending the Sawyer Group to attack the
Reinhart Group.
Nicholas, too, was surprised after hearing Edward’s words. Honestly, he never thought
someone dared to pluck a lion’s mane.
“What’s the story behind it? Did Reinhart Group offend them?”
“No, actually.” Edward shook his head, then related his findings, explaining, “The
companies initially attempted to collaborate with Reinhart Group because Reinhart Group
wanted to purchase their products. They had initially already agreed on the rates, just
waiting for the contract to be drafted and signed. But for some reason, the companies
suddenly raised their rates just as the contracts were about to be signed.”
With that, he handed Nicholas a piece of letter paper with the names of the few
companies.
Nicholas looked through it and found that they were all well-established companies.
At that, he narrowed his eyes and asked, “All of them suddenly raised their rates just
before the contract was signed?”
“Yes, all of them. It was like they’d made a pact.” Edward nodded, finding the issue
baffling as well.

“And then?” Nicholas asked as a hint of animosity flashed across his eyes.
“That’s it. There’s nothing after that. Reinhart Group might be rich, but they aren’t fools,
either. They called off all the purchases in the end.”
While speaking, Edward glanced at Nicholas’ expression, hoping to get something out of it,
but to his dismay, nothing but impassiveness enveloped his boss’ face.
Alas, he could only continue reporting, “There were a few other companies who sought
Reinhart Group’s aid in system management, and like the previous companies, they
suddenly demanded lower rates from Reinhart Group before signing the contract. But
because Reinhart Group was unwilling to meet the demands, the company immediately
turned to other companies.”
With that, Edward handed Nicholas another piece of paper.
Frost enveloped Nicholas’ eyes as he looked at the two pieces of paper on the desk. “Did
you find out why they decided to do that? Has someone incited them to do so?”
“I didn’t find anything on a mastermind.” Edward shook his head.
At that, Nicholas’ frown deepened. “How are they connected?”
“Connected…” Edward pondered with a lowered head as his gaze suddenly turned
hesitant.
