That Can Be Arranged

Chapter 73

Chapter 73 Edward nodded and continued, “President Sawyer, according to previous investigations, this is indeed the case, but the Reinhart Family took Timothy captive for a reason this time.” The topic finally came to the most important part. He looked inexplicably grave as he continued, “From my sources, Timothy and his classmate have recently developed a high-end artificial intelligence software. The software’s concept is state-of-the-art and unprecedented on the market, so its value is high. These years, the Reinhart Family’s company has been going downhill and in danger of going bankrupt. Hence, they urgently need a product to resolve the current dilemma. Coincidentally, they are interested in Timothy’s software. Unfortunately, Timothy does not want to cooperate with them and has repeatedly refused them. Nevertheless, the Reinhart Family continued to pester him without giving up. At first, they did not know that the software was designed by Timothy, so they did not do anything to him. They somehow learned later that Timothy was the developer of the design of this software, though. Since they were eager to grab it to boost their own interests, they decided to employ the use of violence and took him captive.” Having said that, he let out a deep sigh. “President, I would say that the Reinhart siblings are really unlucky. They actually have a father who is so irresponsible and who even uses his own children for his own benefit! It’s ridiculous!” Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

After listening to the story, Nicholas’ expression was stiff and his brows were unconsciously tightened. He recalled how Tessa had hurried out earlier… Could it be that this woman is going to get Timothy back by herself again? Although this woman appeared meek on the surface, she was actually stubborn. Clearly, since she still couldn’t get her brother back home, she refused to give up and went back there early in the morning. Suddenly, Nicholas coldly ordered, “Drive faster and follow Tessa. I want to see what she really is going to do.” When Edward heard this, he was slightly startled. “President, forgive me for saying this, but are you not a little too concerned about Miss Reinhart?”

Too concerned? As Edward finished his words, Nicholas glared at him from the rearview mirror. “She will continue to teach Greg, so I just hope that there will be less unnecessary trouble. In addition, I am very interested in the artificial intelligence software that Timothy developed. If we can get this and sign the contract smoothly, it will be of great help to the company.” Hearing this, he suddenly realized Nicholas’ intentions. So, he immediately stepped on the gas and caught up with Tessa. A few minutes later, she alighted from the cab at the police station and ran straight in to report the case. “Officer, my brother has been kidnapped. I want to report a crime!” she shouted loudly. Once the police heard that it was a kidnapping case, they hurriedly went up and asked about the situation, including the identity of the kidnapper and any possible feuds. Tessa told them the truth, but after the police officer listened to it, he frowned and apologized, “Sorry, Miss Reinhart. There is no way to file a case for adults who have gone missing for less than 24 hours. Besides, how do you know it must be a kidnapping? Maybe it’s just a family dispute. I suggest that you handle it privately.” When she heard this, she became anxious. “No, Officer. This is not a family dispute; this is a kidnapping!” Her tone was urgent as she added, “You may not understand the situation well yet. My brother’s legs are weak and my stepmother took him away with bad intentions! Now, my brother is imprisoned and I don’t know what bad things he is experiencing. Officer, please help me!” Tessa pleaded out of desperation. Unfortunately, the police officer still shook his head and said sternly, “Miss Reinhart, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but the law is the law. If you want to report a case, you must wait for your brother to disappear for 24 hours before we can accept the case. However, I’ll make a note about the information you gave first. If your brother has not returned 24 hours later, we will certainly send someone to communicate with the other party.”
