Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas)

Chapter 1436

Chapter 1436 There Is No Turning Back

After that, he handed a file to Nicholas for a final check.

Nicholas looked through it, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Contact my uncles. Tell them to come over and sign this contract."

Edward swiftly carried out the task.

Zachary, Calvin, and Felix showed up in Nicholas' office in less than half an hour.

When Nicholas saw them, he waved the drafted contract in his hand before handing it over. "Have a look and sign it if there's no issue."

They exchanged a look with one another, took the contract, and checked it for any loopholes.

However, their facial expression drastically changed the moment they read through the contents of the contract, especially Calvin. His volcanic temperament instantly erupted, and he criticized, "Are you not afraid of drowning yourself to death in the gigantic pool of wealth profited from all these companies?!"

"We can't hand over all these companies to you," Zachary also immediately expressed his disapproval sullenly.

It turned out that the management rights indicated in the contract were all branch offices that Nicholas had picked out long ago, and they were the most profitable companies in Europe.

As Nicholas had expected that his bullheaded yet foolish uncles would not agree to his terms, he wasn't surprised when he was confronted with their rejection. He merely intoned calmly, "That's fine with me. But you have to think twice, no? We can pretend that our previous discussion never took place if you do not wish to agree to this deal."

After that, he rose to his feet and stared them down coldly as he instructed, "Edward, kindly show these three uncles of mine the way out."

Zachary, Calvin, and Felix were about to explode when they were faced with such disrespect.

"Nicholas, are you really going to cross swords with us? We're your uncles!" Felix questioned sharply.

Nicholas merely curled the corner of his lips into a condescending smirk as he drawled, "I thought we'd already fallen out long ago."

When Zachary looked at the man whose facial expression was as cold as ice, he knew that there was no turning back regarding this contract.

The other two, who were slower on the uptake, also came to the same realization. In that instant, they were engulfed with a violent wave of anger and humiliation.

They looked at Zachary, silently asking what they should do.

Unfortunately, Zachary knew no alternatives. The veins on his hand that was holding the contract protruded as he clutched it tightly.

"We will sign it."

As soon as these words escaped Zachary's lips, the trio immediately had distressed looks on their faces.

Soon enough, they signed the contract.

Once Zachary reluctantly handed the contract back to Nicholas, he asked with a somber gaze, "When will you release our fathers?"

"I did promise to let Granduncle Adam and Granduncle Joseph go, but at the end of the day, it's still up to the police to decide whether they can be released."

A devious gleam flashed across Nicholas' eyes as he kept the contract away.

In short, what Nicholas really meant was that although he withdrew the lawsuit and decided not to sue Adam and Joseph, the evidence of their illegal operation was still conclusive. Therefore, the police would definitely punish them according to the law.

Zachary, Calvin, and Felix were struck dumb before they finally comprehended what Nicholas meant. Their bodies trembled with rage at that epiphany.

"Nicholas, you tricked us?!" Zachary's eyes reddened with fury as he glared ferociously at Nicholas.

Calvin even wanted to beat Nicholas up.

Alas, Edward held him down before he even managed to come close to Nicholas. At the same time, Edward called the company's security personnel to Nicholas' office.

Nicholas sneered as he looked at them with unbridled disgust in his eyes and ordered coldly, "Send them away."

However, the three couldn't possibly be willing to leave just like that, especially after they found out that they were tricked.

"Nicholas, ask your men to let go of me!"

"Give me back the contract!"

The three bellowed as they struggled to break free.
