Chapter 524
Apart from heading to the toilet and sleeping, Gregory was like a part of Tessa in that he followed
her wherever she went.
"Miss Tessa, I don’t want you to leave."
He was reluctant to let her go while he had his arms wrapped around her neck like a koala.
Although she had the same feelings, Tessa still consoled him by replying, "It's no big deal. When
I leave, we can still video call every day just like before."
Gregory pouted but still accepted her promise.
As she looked at the sad boy, she quickly played some games with him to divert his attention.
After a short while, a smile finally appeared on his face.
On this day, just as Nero arrived at the office, he was interrupted by his assistant, who knocked
before coming in with a somewhat awful expression.
"Mr. Stone, our revised proposal was rejected by the Sawyer Group again."
"Rejected again?!" Nero then asked with an awful expression, "What does the Sawyer Group
expect from us?"
"Mr. Stone, how about you personally make a trip to their company?"
His assistant carefully suggested while looking at a livid Nero.

In reality, even without the advice of his assistant, he was already planning to make a visit there.
As the Sawyer Group had been repeatedly rejecting the proposal, it caused Nero to reach his tipping
point as he thought that Nicholas was intentionally taunting him.
"Prepare the car. We ll be going to the Sawyer Group now!"
Since he was unable to hold himself back any longer, Nero wanted to talk this over with Nicholas
immediately. If there were any dissatisfaction, both parties could just express their honest thoughts in
person.
Later in the day, at the Sawyer Group in President Sawyer's office.
Edward respectfully reported after knocking on the door, "President Sawyer, President Stone has
requested to meet you."
"Reject him." Nicholas didn't even think twice before replying.
At this point, he held the utmost disdain for the Stones, so he did not want to waste even a second on
them.
Even though Edward knew the thoughts of his president, it was only that...
"President Sawyer, President Stone is here due to the issues surrounding the proposal."
Nicholas looked up from behind the documents when he heard this. "I'll leave this to your discretion.
Tell him that if he has any issues, we can forgo this collaboration and we won’t work on any future
project together from now on."
"Yes, sir."
Edward nodded and left after receiving his orders.
He boarded the elevator and went down to the main hall at the entrance.
fhe moment Nero saw Edward, Nero's face immediately brightened.
He thought that Edward had received an order from Nicholas to lead the way, so Nero stood at his spot
without moving as he was waiting for Edward to come and invite him up.
Unfortunately, reality was much cruder than dreams.
"I’m sorry, President Stone. Our president is currently swamped and does not have the time to meet
you."
Edward relayed Nicholas’ words with a polite and professional smile.
The expression on Nero's face froze as he could feel the rage surge within him.
He did not think that Nicholas was unwilling to meet with him even after he came personally!
However, he still managed to restrain his anger in the end. On the way here, he had thought
about why these things were happening and concluded that Nicholas was most likely taking out
his anger on them as they were the reason why his grandfather was hospitalized in the first
place.

the project but to straighten everything out with your president?"
Nero felt a bit humiliated as he spoke politely to Edward.
This was because it made it seem like he was begging Edward just for a chance to meet with
Nicholas.
Even though Edward noticed this, he didn't mind it very much.
After all, as Nicholas' right-hand man, loads of people would ask him for favors on a daily basis.
"President Stone, our president is really busy. As for the project, our president has said that if the
Stones have any problems with us rejecting your proposal and would not like to cooperate, you
can choose to give up. If you do that, we will never collaborate on another project with you
again."
After Nero heard his words, it caused his expression to be dark as charcoal. Nicholas really is
taking this to the extreme.
Unfortunately, all he could do was inhale deeply to suppress his rage. Finally, he said in a low
tone, "If so, then I won't trouble you anymore, Mr. Jackson."
Edward nodded politely before leaving once he heard those words.
While taking note of this, Nero clenched his teeth and would ask his people to contact Tobias
directly.
He decided that since Nicholas did not want to see him, he would just resort to seeing his elders
to solve this problem.
