Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas)

Chapter 1424

Chapter 1424 Punished

When Joseph saw the police, he knew that Nicholas had made thorough preparations for the sake of their family meeting. However, Joseph didn't want to give in just like that, so he turned to Adam for support. Before Joseph could say much, Adam hastily tried to clear his name. "I don't know about all of this. I don't have anything to do with this at all," Adam uttered.

Joseph widened his eyes in disbelief. "Adam, you—"

"You should go off with the police for now, Joseph. If you're innocent, I'll make sure to find a way to get you out of there." Adam was trying to give his brother a hint. Nicholas could tell what Adam was trying to say, and he curled his lips up with amusement. Nicholas didn't have to say much because the police did the job for him. "Adam Sawyer, you're under arrest for embezzlement of public funds, so you should come with us as well."

Adam froze after hearing the police's words. He hadn't expected himself to be captured as well. "Did you think I'd let you go so easily?" Nicholas' icy voice came from behind him. It was then that Joseph and Adam understood that they had completely underestimated their enemies. Things were way worse than they had expected them to be. They were no longer as calm as before and started to beg Remus for mercy.


"We made a mistake, Remus. We let the money get to our heads."

"We've worked hard while we were abroad, Remus. Please let us go this once…"

While Joseph and Adam pleaded for mercy, the rest of their family members began to speak up as well. "My dad is getting old, Uncle Remus. He wouldn't be able to handle it if he was sent to jail," one of their sons said. The more they pleaded for mercy, the angrier Remus felt. He clenched his fists as he glared at his two brothers. "I'll only ask you guys one question. Is it true that you guys were trying to hurt Nicholas? Did you guys end up killing Kieran?!"

A look of hesitation formed on both Adam and Joseph's faces when they heard Remus' words. Remus no longer needed an answer from them—he understood everything from the look on their faces. He was filled with disappointment and rage at that point. Tessa could tell that the old man didn't feel too well, so she quickly muttered to him, "You should watch your health, Grandpa. The doctor mentioned that you shouldn't get too emotional."

Remus didn't say much, but he took Tessa's advice and tried his best to calm himself down. He knew that he couldn't fall ill at a time like this when the Sawyer Family was already plagued with so many issues. Nicholas spoke in a sarcastic tone when he heard the comments coming from Adam and Joseph's families. "Is there any purpose in apologizing at this point? My brother has already lost his life. Do you think an apology would suffice?"
