That Can Be Arranged (Tessa and Nicholas)

Chapter 103
Lodge a police report?
Amber felt something snap within her the moment she heard Julius wanting to lodge a police report. “Who are you? How dare an outsider like you interfere in our matter!”
Right then, Sophia quickly pulled on Amber’s shirt before whispering, “Grandma, this is Tessa’s strong backing that I told you about. Do not lose your cool and cross him.”
Amber was stunned. For someone who had lived more than half of her life, she knew well who she could and couldn’t cross. If they really crossed the Sawyers, the Reinharts would definitely find themselves in serious trouble.
Hence, Amber quickly recomposed herself before saying, “President Sawyer, although you’re an influential person, don’t you think that it’s inappropriate for an outsider like you to interfere in the Reinharts’ family matters? Of course, I get that you want to help Tessa out, but you have to know how to differentiate between good people and bad people. That little liar is just an ungrateful child that leeches on the family! You can’t get cheated by her!”
“Is that so?”

There was a hint of arrogance in Nicholas’s voice while his gaze turned cold. “How dare an unreasonable woman like you, who takes advantage of your seniority to cause a scene, dare to lecture me on how I judge people? I’m more than capable of making my own judgments, and I know Tessa and Timothy’s characters well. I don’t need you to educate me.”
Upon hearing that, Amber became exasperated as her face turned red. If this was Tessa, she would have already reprimanded her. However, she had no guts to talk back to someone from the Sawyer Family, so she could only hold her tongue and sigh.
Still, Nicholas wasn’t done just yet. He was emitting a pressurizing aura before giving Amber a hard look and continued, “Besides, I was the one who got Silas captured. Even if you harm Tessa and Timothy today, the police won’t release him without my permission, so you don’t have to waste your effort.”
Sophia and Amber’s faces ashened when they heard him.
Although they knew that Nicholas was the person behind what happened, they went to Tessa and Timothy because they had no choice, but it seemed like Nicholas was hell-bent on protecting those two, which meant they had no other option than to plead with him.
Silas is the only son that I’ve ever had in my entire life, and there’s no way that I’ll let him rot in prison for the rest of his life!
Amber became sorrowful at the thought of that before the arrogant look on her face vanished, and she asked in a humble manner, “What… What do you want us to do to let go of my son?”
Nevertheless, Nicholas only gave her a sharp look and didn’t say anything before he turned toward Tessa and declared in a cold manner, “That depends on Tessa. She’s my woman, and she holds the say to decide how she wants to deal with you guys!”
Upon hearing that, Tessa felt a mixture of feelings she couldn’t pinpoint.
Throughout these years, she and Timothy had been bullied a lot, and all they could do was carry all of the pain and sufferings quietly without anyone standing up to protect them.
However, Nicholas had been protecting her every time and backing her up. Despite her going all out to keep a distance away from him, he’d never fail to reach out to help her out.
I guess I really need a long time to be able to repay him for everything he has done for me.
