That Can Be Arranged (Tessa and Nicholas)

Chapter 142
For a moment, Tessa was taken aback. “Resign?”
Stefania responded with a slight nod. “Although it’s a bit sudden, but… Greg had always been independent and had never been so clingy, but he’s too dependent on you, Miss Reinhart. In the future, if you leave, where are we supposed to find someone to replace you?”
When Tessa heard this, she was reminded of the fact that she thought about a similar reason when
she resigned last time.
Stefania continued, “Besides, you know what kind of status Nicholas has. He’s not the son of an, ordinary family. As the president of Sawyer Group, he cannot be emotional in terms of marriage choices. What he needs is the right wife, not someone of your status, Miss Reinhart.”
Tessa instantly knew that Stefania had misunderstood.

She frowned. She didn’t want to climb her way up to Sawyer Group, nor was she trying to make use of Gregory.
Previously, when she stayed despite wanting to leave, it was because of Gregory.
No matter what unpleasant things were said, she could tolerate it, but this kind of misunderstanding must never exist.
So, Tessa pointed out, “Madam Sawyer, I think you’ve misunderstood”
Stefania interrupted her. “Miss Reinhart, I don’t want to know what you’re thinking, and there’s no need for me to know. You don’t have to explain anything to me. Although there’s currently nothing between you and Nicholas, or you and Greg, that might not be the case in the future. Greg is already too dependent on you, and Nicholas loves this child too much. As long as Greg doesn’t agree, he will definitely try to keep you. You’re a ticking time bomb, so I can’t let you stay by their sides. I hope you can understand the concerns of a mother. I know that you’re the one who rescued Greg from the kidnappers. I’m not such an unreasonable person; I know that the kidnappers targeted Greg from the start. This matter has nothing to do with you, so I won’t blame you. No matter what, you saved Gregory. Since this is considered a favor the Sawyer Family owes you, I can give you a sum of money. I hope you can take the initiative to leave.”
Tessa’s heart felt inexplicably uncomfortable, as if someone had grabbed her heart and was taking her strength away, suffocating her.
She never had the intention of currying favor with the Sawyers. She just couldn’t bear to leave Gregory.
After taking a few deep breaths, Tessa said, “Madam Sawyer, I signed an agreement with President Sawyer to be Greg’s teacher, so I can’t leave yet.”
Stefania suddenly snorted and replied, “Miss Reinhart, let me remind you that you’ve injured your
n’t play the violin anymore. In this case, you can’t be Greg’s teacher. Although our family’s well-off, we don’t support idlers. If you accept my proposal, I can find a way to help you void the agreement.”
Tessa once again felt as if her heart was being pierced by a sword, causing it to ache terribly. Her face turned pale, and she couldn’t even say a word at the moment.
Stefania patted her uninjured shoulder, then immediately signed a check for three million and put it on her bedside table. “I hope you’ll think it through.”
