Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas)

Chapter 1435 Seal the Deal

Calvin didn't bother waiting for Zachary to speak as he took the lead and reported the

outcome of the meeting with Nicholas earlier.

Adam and Joseph fumed with rage once they heard his words.

"How dare that kid put forth such a condition!" Joseph hissed through gritted teeth.

Then, he spat out a few nasty remarks before looking at Adam. "What do you think?"

The others also turned their attention to Adam.

A cunning glint appeared in Adam's dangerously narrowed eyes. "Since he dares to make

such a deal, we will grant his wish!"

"Grant him?! But… Uncle Adam, we are talking about the management rights of the whole

of Europe." Felix was displeased by Adam. In his opinion, there was no way they should

give up and allow Nicholas to do as he pleased.

Zachary and Calvin also chimed in and expressed their disapproval.

On the contrary, Joseph merely tilted his head at Adam and said nothing. He knew better

than anyone that Adam wasn't someone who would relent so easily.

And he was right on the money.

Adam sneered, "We're merely agreeing to his deal. There will be plenty of chances for us

to deal with him once we successfully get out of this place. When that happens, I will

make sure he pays everything he has taken from us back with interest."

…

Later that day, Zachary, Calvin, and Felix made their appearance at the headquarters of

Sawyer Group again.

Edward knocked on the door and entered the office. There was a hint of a smile playing on

his lips as he informed, "President Sawyer, it's just like you predicted. Master Adam and

Master Joseph's sons have returned. They are downstairs now. Do you still want to see

them?"

"Of course," Nicholas sneered as he requested Edward to lead the three to his office.

The three brothers showed up again in Nicholas' office a few minutes later.

"We have come to an agreement. It's impossible for us to hand over the management

rights of the whole of Europe. We can, however, hand over half." Zachary got straight to

the point and directly stated the result of their discussion.

Nicholas didn't say anything as he stared them down. Instead, he simply leaned into his

chair and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

The office fell into silence, and the atmosphere was very oppressive.

Zachary, Calvin, and Felix looked rather unhappy as they stared at the man who remained

silent after their proposal.

Eventually, Felix and Calvin gradually lost their composure. They planned to use their

statuses as his elder to pressure Nicholas into agreeing.

However, Zachary shot them a warning look, stopping them before they could speak.

Sure enough, Nicholas noticed their antics. Still, he merely looked at them as though he

wasn't seeing them at all.

At this moment, Zachary let out a light cough. He intended to persuade Nicholas with a

passive-aggressive approach.

"This deal is our biggest concession. Not to mention, the success achieved in Europe over

the past few years had been the result of our fathers' hard work. That's why we can't hand

over the management rights of the whole of Europe to you. Otherwise, I fear they won't be

able to take the blow once they are released."

Nicholas finally expressed his opinion upon hearing Zachary's words and nodded in

agreement.

The idiot musketeers breathed a sigh of relief after they received Nicholas' approval.

Calvin immediately asked eagerly, "When will you let our fathers go then?"

"I will have someone draft the contract as soon as possible. I will let the two of them go

once you sign the contract."

This was the first time Nicholas spoke after the trio had shown up with their proposal.

With that, the three left, feeling delighted with the outcome.

Kieran and Tobias came not long after they left.

Once they entered Nicholas' office, Tobias inquired, "What were your uncles doing here?"

Although Kieran didn't say anything, he still looked at Nicholas with concern.

Nicholas smiled faintly as he replied, "They wish for me to let Granduncle Adam and

Granduncle Joseph go."

"What did you say?" Tobias pressed on.

"Of course, I disagreed. But they made an offer."

Hence, Nicholas briefly told them about the content of their discussion earlier.

Kieran and Tobias were thrilled at the news, for even though they only agreed to hand

over half of the management rights, it was enough to make Adam and the others suffer a

significant loss.

Regardless, they couldn't help but worry after their happiness subsided.

"Releasing Adam and Joseph is undoubtedly akin to breeding calamities for the future.

They will surely cause trouble for us in the future."

By the time Tobias finished his sentence, the furrow between his brows was scrunched up

in concern.

Kieran also nodded profusely, acknowledging the truth in Tobias' statement. "If they can

come up with a car accident this time, who knows what tricks they will think of to deal

with us next time."

"Have no fear. Although I agreed to let them go, that doesn't mean the police are willing

to."

Nicholas chuckled lightly, utterly nonchalant.

As for Tobias and Kieran, they were both taken aback after they processed the meaning

behind his words.

…

Nicholas arrived early at the company the following day.

This time Edward knocked on the door and walked in not long after he entered the office,

but he came bearing good news.

"President Sawyer, I have finished drafting the contract you requested yesterday."
