That Can Be Arranged (Tessa and Nicholas)

Chapter 48

Chapter 48
A while later, they finally arrived at Dynasty Gardens.
When Nicholas and Andrew headed into the house after exiting the car, Edward was already waltina for them in the living room as he nodded dutifully upon the sight of Nicholas. “President Sawyer!”
Nicholas hummed in acknowledgement and didn’t say anything else before asking, “What did you discover?”
Then, Edward nodded and started reporting, “President Sawyer, after our conversation, I went to check all the hidden surveillance cameras in the mansion. According to what I saw, Miss Gingham didn’t do anything. However… After Gregory drank the juice, I heard some of the servants there merrtioning that they saw Miss Gingham’s mother, Yana Johnson, touching Young Master Gregory’s cup. They also said that Yana was acting really suspicious and it seemed like she placed something in the cup. Of course, I’ve already asked some of the men to send the cup to Mr. Sawyer’s place to identify what was placed there and the results should be out soon!”
Right then, Nicholas’ facial expression changed. “Yana Johnson?”
“Yes.” Edward nodded, to which Nicholas’ gaze darkened. “Alright.”

Then, he turned and instructed, “Andrew, go upstairs and prepare a few sets of outfits for Greg so that we can bring them over later.”
“Yes, Master Nicholas.”
While Andrew went upstairs to pack Gregory’s stuff, Nicholas stayed in the living room to wait for Andrew. However, his demeanor was cold and his presence pressurizing.
About half an hour later, the sound of the car engine stopping rang out.
When Edward went out to take a look and understand the situation, he rushed back inside and reported, “President Sawyer, Mr. Sloan is here!”
Upon hearing that, Nicholas’ gaze slightly brightened.
A few seconds later, a slender and tall man in a gray suit entered the house and it was none other than Ashton Sloan, Nicholas’ childhood friend.
Ashton was an extremely handsome man who sported a gray suit and a pair of glasses that had gold rims. He was wearing an expensive watch while giving off a wise look, which matched his identity as he was awarded with the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine at a young age. As the youngest Nobel Prize winner in the country, it was an understatement to say that Ashton was a genius.
When he entered, Nicholas looked at him before asking coldly, “Why are you here?”
With a smile on his face, Ashton answered chirpily, “I’m obviously here to tell you the results of your investigation.”
Nicholas’ gaze darkened. Although he didn’t ask anything, he knew that Ashton’s presence was enough to prove that something was indeed wrong with Gregory’s cup.
As expected, Ashton took Gregory’s cup out of its packaging after he sat on the couch.
