Chapter 286
Tessa found it a little strange, so she hesitated for a moment before finally answering the phone. “Hello.”
An old person’s voice sounded from the other end and they spoke in an indecisive tone that demanded no interference. “Miss Reinhart, let’s meet.”
“Who are you?”
She was confused as she didn’t know any old people at all. How did he know that my last name is Reinhart? And why does he want to meet me? There’s something really strange about this person. Besides, why’s he so certain that I would meet him?
The old man responded, “I’m Nicholas’ grandfather and Gregory’s Great-Grandpa. I think you must have a lot of doubts about me, so you’ll definitely come.”
Tessa’s heart thumped when she heard this and she asked, “Where should we meet?”
Remus answered, “We’ll meet at 3.00PM. The address will be sent to you by text message.”
“Okay.” Tessa agreed to meet.
Immediately after that, she received a text message with the address.
Although she had a bad feeling about this, she still decided to meet the old man at this moment.
She and her brother had been suppressed in every way because of Remus, but they never received an explanation, so she could use this opportunity to clarify matters.
Otherwise, there would always be a lump in her heart.
Judging from Remus’ voice, he didn’t seem like an aggressive old man. Instead, he sounded rather kind, so she reckoned it shouldn’t be hard to talk things through with him.
After Tessa finished mentally establishing the situation, she remembered that they had agreed to meet at 3.00PM, and it was almost time.
It was probably too late to prepare the snacks for Gregory, so she called Nicholas. “President Sawyer, I have a private matter to deal with this afternoon, so I can’t go to the hospital to visit Gregory. Please help me to pass the message to him.”
Nicholas simply gave her an indifferent response.
After hanging up the phone, Tessa cleaned up a little before going for the appointment
After she arrived at the designated venue, she didn’t see the legendary figure and found it a little odd. Although she wanted to see him and clarify matters, why was Remus asking to meet her?
She couldn’t shake off the weird feeling.
Could it be that he had deliberately deceived her and was going to let her wait there?
However, she had arrived early, so it was okay to wait a while. She would just take things as they came. If he lied to her, he would certainly have a purpose, and she wanted to know the reason too.
Before she could finish thinking about it, an old man dressed in a sophisticated suit and with a mahogany cane that was carved with a coiled dragon appeared in front of her.
Tessa stood up subconsciously. The old man exuded a strong aura, which made her a little afraid to look directly at him. His aura was the same as Nicholas.
Although it was her first time seeing him, she was almost certain that he was Remus Sawyer. She greeted the old man politely, “Hello, Old Master Sawyer.”
Remus gave a slight nod. “Miss Reinhart, have a seat.”
As they sat opposite each other, Tessa was rather nervous. “Old Master Sawyer, I wonder why you have called me here.
He swept his sharp gaze over her. Picking up the teacup in front of him, he took a sip of tea before slowly saying, “I know you’ve been taking care of Gregory lately.”
Her head jerked up as she looked at the dignified elderly man.
“I know you like that kid, but, Miss Reinhart, I don’t care how devoted you are to Gregory. You just have to understand one thing. As long as I don’t agree to it, you can’t marry into the Sawyer Family,” said Remus, his eyes sharpening instantly.
. Although Tessa felt a little anxious from his gaze, she held onto her sanity. “I’m afraid
you’ve misunderstood. I never wanted to marry Nicholas.”
“Then, why are you approaching the father and son time after time?” Remus placed his teacup down as his whole demeanor suddenly changed.
“Because I like Gregory,” she answered.
He replied coldly, “Like him? No, girl. You’re not worthy. I called you out today to remind you to leave the two of them, and leave Brentwood.”
