That Can Be Arranged

Chapter 164

Chapter 164 At that moment, Silas was slightly impatient as he voiced out, “Mom, you don’t know what’s going on, so stop causing trouble by unnecessarily interfering!” He thought, Judging by the situation at Reinhart Group right now, I still need to depend on the two of them. Everyone in this home keeps causing trouble for me! In the end, I’m the one who’s implicated and have to suffer all that humiliation too! As soon as Amber heard that, she angrily retorted, “I’m the one who’s causing trouble?! Yeah, I don’t know what’s going on. That’s right; I’m just causing trouble here. Alright then, I won’t interfere in your affairs from now on! You can do whatever you want. They’ve turned up at our door to berate us and besides not joining me in chasing them off, you’re even being so nonchalant about it now.” Meanwhile, he was full of frustration upon hearing her words. “Mom, you know I didn’t mean it that way, but we really can’t afford to offend Mr. Jackson.” “Yes, you’ve just reminded me. Right, that guy was brought home by your darling son. He’s such an ungrateful kid and lacking in manners! I must say, we should have strangled him to death in the past. At least he wouldn’t have been able to return to target us.” “Timothy has the guts to actually bring someone back home and behave so atrociously too. I reckon that you were too easy on him with that blow you gave him. You should have just skinned him alive and I’m sure that would teach him a lesson to think twice before he makes a move.” This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Silas couldn’t come up with the words to retort. After all, Timothy was no longer the submissive kid who could be bullied around. He had the help of the Sawyer Group and even Silas didn’t dare to cross them. Suddenly, Sophia tugged on Silas’ arm. “Dad, it hurts so much. That b*stard, Timothy, whacked me and it hurts so badly. Hurry up and send me to the hospital.” At that moment, he was quite mad after Amber had berated him. As soon as he heard Sophia’s sobs, the frustration in him welled up and he instantly slapped her. “This is all a result of what you’ve done! You deserve all this!”

Meanwhile, she had an incredulous look on her face. “Dad, you didn’t object to it when I suggested for us to seek help from Master Finch. You guys supported me, didn’t you? Why am I being blamed for this right now?” However, Silas angrily responded, “Did I support you?! Did I even say a word back then? Did you inform me that you were going to trick the person to such a location? I shouldn’t have trusted you at all back then!” After he finished saying that, he went upstairs immediately without bothering to even glance at her. Then, Sophia exclaimed with a shocked expression, “Dad!” However, Silas didn’t even bother to turn back and all she could see was a coldly, indifferent back. As soon as she saw that, she was angered beyond words and she clenched her fingers into a tight fist, which caused her fingernails to become deeply embedded within her palms. She had an extremely angry look in her eyes to the point where her features were distorted. Tessa and Timothy! You two better watch out! I won’t let you two get away with this! Meanwhile, in the hospital, Tessa had only woken up from her deep slumber the following day. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw that Nicholas was in the room alone. Slightly stunned, she sat up and asked in confusion, “You… Why are you still here? Where’s Timothy?” Shouldn’t it be Timothy here? “He went back to school,” he replied calmly. Tessa didn’t think too much upon hearing that and she nodded her head slightly before scrutinizing him for a short while. She noticed that he was still in his clothes from the day before and she guessed that he must have been here the whole night, so she mentioned, “Thank you for your help last night, President Sawyer.” Meanwhile, Nicholas coldly responded, “You seem to be able to easily express your gratitude verbally, but I can’t sense any sincerity at all! Tessa Reinhart! If you actually intend to thank me, then you shouldn’t keep running away! Are you such a scaredy-cat?!” Then, Tessa was stunned by his rebuke and it took her a short while to understand his words. She was indeed running away from the issue. Ever since she had been discharged from the hospital, she had been avoiding both Nicholas and Gregory. However, there was no point in running away because the

issue had still remained. This was something that had been at the back of her mind all this while and she found herself quite overwhelmed by it. Right now, Nicholas took the initiative to bring up the issue, so she should take this opportunity today to make things clear. Tessa lowered her eyes. “Well, since this is the case… President Sawyer, I would like to have a chat with you.” In response, he lifted his brow and stared at her as his breathing hitched slightly. He seemed to be able to predict what she was going to say. Soon, she mentioned, “My hand is useless now. I don’t know when I’ll be able to recover and I also don’t know whether I’ll be able to return to my previous state after my recovery. That’s why I’m not sure whether I’ll be able to continue playing the violin.” She took a deep breath and her tone was slightly anguished. “Gregory’s still quite young and he is very talented. Besides, his time is precious too. I’m keen to continue, but I’m no longer able to be of any help so I shouldn’t be selfish and waste his time by being an obstacle in his road to success.”
