That Can Be Arranged (Tessa and Nicholas)

Chapter 161

Chapter 161
“She ganged up with Eric Finch, who made Miss Tessa drunk and tried to violate her.”
When Sophia heard Edward say this, her face turned pale, but Edward wasn’t finished yet. With contempt in his eyes, he continued, “This kind of person deserves it even if they’re beaten to death. Don’t you think so, Mr. Reinhart?” He paused for a second and chuckled sarcastically. “Oh, I’m sorry. Before you even found out the truth, you already cracked open your own son’s head. It’s the first time for me to see such a thing. Even a tiger doesn’t eat its own cubs, but it’s really an eye-opener for me when I see how you treat him and your methods.”
Astonished, Silas quickly explained, “I-I was m-merely… caught up in anger for a moment. I can’t possibly watch on as he beat Sophia to death, can I?”
“Fine, if that’s your explanation. But if Miss Tessa didn’t happen to run into President Sawyer tonight, I’m afraid she would be ruined in the hands of your other daughter. At that time, will you be as heartbroken as you are now? Or, do you actually not regard Miss Tessa and her brother as your children?”
Every word he said was powerful, and Silas was dumbfounded. After being in a daze for a few seconds, he turned to Sophia with an ashened face and asked, “Is it true what Mr. Jackson just said?”

Terrified, Sophia shook her head anxiously. “Dad, don’t you know what kind of person I am? Would you rather believe an outsider than me? Listen to me: This matter isn’t what you think it is. I really didn’t contact Young Master Finch or steal Timothy’s phone, nor did I try to harm Tessa. You have to believe me!”
After hearing her out, Silas turned back to Edward and said, “You heard her, Mr. Jackson. My daughter said she didn’t do it, and this is my family affairs, after all. So, I’ll get to the bottom of this.”
In other words, he meant to say that Edward was an outsider. No matter what, they would settle this behind closed doors, and he shouldn’t be involved in this.
As for how it would be settled, that would be entirely up to Silas’ rules.
Edward sneered, “Family affairs? If I remember correctly, both Miss Tessa and her brother are no longer members of this family. How can you say that this is a family affair, then?”
He was very sure that if he left Timothy here by himself, Silas, the incredibly biased man, would never let him off that easily.
And the reason he was here was to make sure that Timothy was alright. Therefore, he couldn’t leave just like that.
In addition, he had carried a dislike for this spineless Silas for a very long time and was very disgusted with his blood-sucking ways.
“Well.”
