Always Been Yours

Chapter 287

“What’s the reason? Why should I leave?” Tessa was incredulous.

“Gregory sticking to you is the reason, and your familial background is another reason. Do you really think that you can marry into a wealthy family with your identity? Know your place,” Remus sneered.

Tessa found Remus even more unbelievable. “I never said that I want to marry Nicholas. It’s not my fault that Gregory wants to stick to me.” Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“However, if your brother, and the people around you, suffer unfair treatment as a result, it’s all your fault,” he reminded coldly.

Her heart tightened instantly. “W-What do you mean?”

“I think I’ve made my intentions perfectly clear. Everything that has been happening to you and your brother is indeed related to me. I’ve warned you two many times before, yet you still don’t know your place. Don’t hold this against me.”

Remus’ gaze was fixed on Tessa’s beautiful face, and he seemed sure that she would give him the answer he wanted.

Tessa’s face was a little pale.

Her mind was full of the odd things that had been happening around her recently, and all the weird things that followed. If she didn’t leave, he would definitely make things hard for Timothy with Remus’ ability.

Now that Henry and the company’s staff had been implicated, she did not dare to think about the consequences if she carried on like this.

She truly didn’t want to get many innocent people involved because of her selfishness and she couldn’t also deal with the huge Sawyer Family.

Tessa was both resentful and annoyed. She hated how useless she was and her inability to go against Remus.

It was pitiful to be weak.

“Miss Reinhart, have you thought it through?” Remus asked in a profound manner.

Tessa gritted her teeth and nodded. “As long as I leave, you won’t go against them again and everything will return to its original state?”

“As long as that’s what you want, everything will be as you wish,” he answered.

“Okay. I believe you’re a man of your word, Old Master Sawyer. You won’t deceive people like me. If you can keep your promise, then I’ll definitely leave Gregory, Nicholas, and everyone in the Sawyer Family. However, if you can’t or even cause more harm to them, then I’ll definitely return to haunt everyone in the Sawyer Family even if it means death.”

This was the most cruel thing Tessa had ever said. Despite that, she didn’t feel more at ease, but even felt a vague sense of pain, as if there was a hole in her heart. I really have to leave this time…

Remus nodded in satisfaction. “Don’t worry, as long as you don’t come back, I will never touch them. However, if you come back, I can’t guarantee what will happen to them.”

Tessa gritted her teeth and nodded. “All right.”

Both of them were threatening each other. As long as no one violated the agreement, everyone would be safe.

A satisfied Remus then left the store with the cane supporting him.

As soon as he left, there was no point in staying, so Tessa went straight home.

The moment that Tessa arrived home at Regal Gardens, Timothy was already there.

“Tessa, you’re back. Didn’t you go to the hospital to visit Young Master Gregory today?” Timothy glanced at the time and asked with some confusion.

She shook her head. “No.”

“Tessa, what happened? D-Did you quarrel with President Sawyer?” He was a little worried when he saw that she was in a gloomy mood, seemingly with a lot on her mind.

Tessa couldn’t bear to hear Nicholas’ name now and her mood turned even worse. “No, it has nothing to do with him, but I’ve been feeling a little tired recently.”

“How’s the company doing? Henry… How’s his father now?” she asked hesitantly.

“Same as usual. His dad has still been staying home lately.” At this, Timothy’s mood grew solemn too.

The atmosphere in the office these days has been rather terrible. Although Nicholas had already made the clarification, now that this incident had occurred, other companies still chose to wait and see how it played out since they were still unwilling to collaborate with Timothy’s corporation.
