hapter 829 I Won’t Agree to a Divorce!
Remus looked at the woman who remained silent and there was a forceful note in his voice. “If you really
love Nicholas, then you should consider things from his perspective. Things are ruthless in the corporate
world and if any of these are revealed to Nicholas’ rivals, you do realize how huge the blow would be on
him and the entire Sawyer Group, right?”
Although his words were cutthroat, Tessa clenched her teeth and did not plan on backing down. After all,
she was not at fault, so she was determined not to give in!
“I said that this has nothing to do with me.” She looked at Remus firmly and spoke in a low voice,
“Grandpa, I realize that you don’t trust my words, but you should know to come up with proof before you
make any accusations. With all due respect, you should be careful with your words.”
As soon as Remus heard her words, he felt that his authority was challenged. “Are you trying to teach
me a lesson?”
He narrowed his eyes slightly and a stern aura was exuded from all around his figure. “Are you telling me
that Kathleen’s death was just a joke? Weren’t your contract terminated by the orchestra?”

up with the words to stand up for herself. “All these that you just mentioned… are true.”
“Since they are true, doesn’t it make you implicated in this whole matter?” He kept his eyes on her and
he behaved in an overbearing manner.
At that moment, Tessa clenched her fist tightly, not feeling any sensation at all.
“Whatever it is, I won’t agree to a divorce with Nicholas.”
She met Remus’ eyes with a firm expression and her tone of voice clearly indicated that she had no
intention of budging. She declared stubbornly, “Nicholas cares about me very much, so I will never
disappoint him. You do not have a good impression of me and that’s because it’s ingrained within you
from the start. This current matter is just an excuse for you to make me leave and that’s also why you
don’t care at all about the truth.”
Her words exposed his actual thoughts and he was flustered by her words.
Indeed, he did not care about how the matter unfolded and his main intention was to make use of this
incident to force this woman to leave his grandson.
Of course though, he would never admit to having such intentions in front of Tessa.
“I maintain my stance. Everything happens for a reason and it takes two to tango.”
She glanced at Remus who was stubborn in his ways and she felt quite resigned.
She heaved a deep sigh and made the decision to briefly explain how the matter cropped up and how it
unfolded.
“I have nothing to do with Kathleen’s death at all. She was somehow always jealous of me, so we never
got along in the orchestra. Because of that, she targeted me continuously and set me up. Furthermore,
she nearly caused my miscarriage and even attempted to harm my life. If Nicholas hadn’t turned up in
time, my child and I would have ended up dead.”
At that instance, Remus was shocked beyond words. He never expected that there would be an inside
story to the issue. Instantly, his expression turned solemn. Although he did not have a good impression
of Tessa, the child that she carried was part of the Sawyer Family, so he would not allow anyone to harm
any of the Sawyers members.
Tessa noticed the change in his attitude and she could not help heaving a sigh of relief to herself.

Evidently, she realized that the change in his attitude was most likely due to the revelation that Kathleen
had intended to harm her child.
Even so, Tessa was unperturbed by that as she continued, “Kathleen was taken into police custody and
everything was done according to the correct procedures. After all, one has to face the consequences of
one’s misdeeds, so punishment is inevitable. She ended up taking her own life in prison after that, which
was something I never expected at all. I do feel some remorse over that, but I never targeted to end her
life. As for my termination of the contract with the orchestra… Kathleen was the only daughter of my
mentor, so after this incident, it would be tough for both me and my mentor if I remained in the orchestra;
that’s why I chose to leave.”
After she had said that, Remus had no other words to respond to that.
The things that he found logical previously were no longer applicable to this situation. However, he
remained stubbornly steadfast in his own ways and had no intention of giving up.
“Even if this has nothing to do with you, I do not wish you to affect Nicholas’ life any further. Haven’t you
realized that you’re always bringing trouble to his life while you remain by his side? Not only are you not
able to help him, but he constantly has to sort out your issues.”
Remus’ words were scathing.
At that moment, Tessa’s breathing hitched.
However, she managed to calm down soon enough. She stood up and mustered up her courage to meet
his domineering eyes and her tone of voice remained firm.
