Always Been Yours

Chapter 86

In the afternoon, Tessa gave Gregory lessons as usual. She stopped teaching after two periods and allowed the child some time to digest the lesson on his own.

Music wasn’t something one could learn overnight, and one would need a stable foundation to flourish in the future. The two came out of the study, one after the other, and moved to the hall for a break.

Meanwhile, Andrew served up some delicious desserts. Gregory ate two pieces, then fed Tessa another two. The atmosphere between them was warm and friendly.

After that, the boy fetched his drawing tools and began to draw at the coffee tabte. Tessa wanted to join him, but her phone rang at that moment.

“Hello, is this Miss Reinhart?”

As soon as she picked up, she heard a humble and courteous voice.

“And you are?” Tessa frowned.

“Hello, Miss Reinhart. I am Patrick Kramer, a lawyer from Reinhart Group. I have contacted you today to schedule a meeting with you so that we can discuss some things. I’m wondering if you’d have the time-”

“I don’t. I have nothing to discuss with you.” Tessa interrupted the other coldly, then hung up straight away.

A lawyer from Reinhart Group?Pst!

She didn’t even have to think to know the reason this person contacted her. What else would he talk about other than the stupid issues concerning the Reinhart Family?

Do I look like I’m interested in those foolish issues?

Meanwhile, in the lawyer’s office in Reinhart Group sat an exasperated-looking Partick. He didn’t expect the call to end so quickly and looked at Sophia beside him, sighing. “Miss Sophia, she hung up.”

“What?” Sophia instantly gritted her teeth in anger.

She was filled with rage, which she barely had anywhere to vent. She cursed in a low voice, “That wretched Tessa! She really wants to destroy my parents! What an ingrate!”

This morning, after Silas and Lauren were arrested, Sophia had come to the company to get help.

When Patrick knew of the situation, he immediately rushed to the police station and attempted to bail Silas out. However, the police refused the bail.

He hurriedly gathered more information on the case. When he understood how it all happened, he suggested that Sophia and Tessa should talk it out with each other; hence, the previous call.

However, Patrick hadn’t expected Tessa to hang up, with no regard for them! Despite being a tough case, he still analyzed the situation professionally. “Miss Sophia, the main fault lies with Mr. Reinhart, so he has to take responsibility as well. This incident isn’t as serious as we thought. As long as we can convince Miss Reinhart and her brother to drop the charges, we can work out the rest.” NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Sophia was enraged as she said in dissatisfaction, “Are you suggesting reconciliation? Look at her attitude! We can’t even talk properly; how am I supposed to reconcile with her?”

Patrick also found it difficult, but he advised her patiently, explaining, “Maybe we can try another way to convince them.”.

Hearing that, Sophia frowned as she looked at Patrick. “What way?”

Patrick replied, “I suggest you give them something nice. It can be money or something else, just something they’d be satisfied with. Maybe then they will be willing to let Mr. and Mrs. Reinhart go.”

At that, Sophia glared at him furiously and shouted, “You must be kidding! Those two harmed my parents, but I still have to give them something nice? Nonsense!”

Patrick remained patient. “Miss Sophia, you can’t think like that! News of Mr. Reinhart getting arrested is still suppressed; word hasn’t gotten out yet. In the meantime, we have to grab this opportunity to get them out. If not, when people know about it, Reinhart’s already precarious situation will only worsen, maybe even to the point of no return! Please consider the situation!”

As Sophia listened, she was so pissed that she could explode at any moment.

Of course I won’t consider it!That wretched Tessa put my parents in jail, so why should I bow my head to her, much less give her benefits just to save our skin?She can keep dreaming!

I will never, in a million years, give in to Tessa!
