Chapter 72 Cut All Ties
After yelling, he rushed forward in anger, as if he wanted to fight with his life. However, the bodyguard instantly came forward and fiercely pushed Timothy to the ground. Suppressed by him, Timothy frantically yelled, “Let go of me! Let go!”
As if looking at a clown, Lauren sneered, “How we act depends on what your decision is. Tonight, we came here on purpose to inform you that by 8:00AM tomorrow morning, we must have the answer; otherwise, you will never get your sister back!”
Timothy was so furious that his wrath skyrocketed and he was almost hysterical with rage. Suddenly, he glared at Silas and bellowed, “Silas, is this your intention?”
Silas opened his mouth, but he didn’t deny it. Thus, Timothy let out a bone-chilling sneer. “Good, you’re really a good father! You’re giving your daughter up for fame and threatening your own son!”
Being spoken to like that made him inevitably feel a little uncomfortable, but for the sake of his individual interest, he remained silent.
Timothy’s eyes flashed with a strong hatred; he hated this father of his who gave him life but never took responsibility. In Timothy’s eyes, such a person who gave birth to children but did not care to raise them and even used them as bargaining chips was simply worse than an animal! I hate him! I hate him to the bone!
Under Timothy’s glare, Silas felt guilt rising in him, so he hurriedly left with Lauren.
…
The next day, Tessa ate breakfast early in the morning and immediately called the Reinhart Family to ask them angrily, “Lauren, are you going to let him go or not?”
At this point, it was already 7:30AM. It was still half an hour before the 8:00AM appointment with Timothy, so naturally, Lauren could not release him.
Lauren laughed aloud on the other side of the phone and spoke in a reckless tone. “Tessa, do you want to report to the police? It’s not 24 hours since Timothy has disappeared, so you don’t have enough time to actually file a case. Do you think the police will care about it?”
After speaking boldly, she hung up the phone.
Tessa was extremely exasperated. Of course she knew that the police would not open a case if people had gone missing for less than 24 hours. However, she couldn’t wait any longer! She immediately went out, ready to head to the police station to report the case. Before leaving, Gregory pulled the corner of Tessa’s shirt and said in a reluctant manner, “Will you still come over at night, Miss Pretty Lady?”
She leaned over and lovingly stroked the boy’s head, softly saying, “I am not sure, but if I do come, I will call you in advance.”
He nodded, his two dark and round eyes like grapes. Then, he asked again, “So, does what you said yesterday still count? Will you come back to teach me?”
Tessa smiled warmly. “Of course. Don’t worry, Sweetheart. I won’t go back on my word.”
“Yay!” The little boy nodded, looking much more at ease, and only then did he allow her to leave.
Coincidentally, at this time, Nicholas happened to leave the house too. The morning sunlight fell on his tall figure as he came out of the house, shrouding him in a dazzling halo of light. As he came to the door, he had arrived just in time to see Tessa also going out, so he casually asked, “Miss Reinhart, where are you going? Let me give you a ride.”
Tessa did not want to trouble Nicholas, so she quickly refused. “Thank you, President Sawyer, but there is no need.”
With that, she turned around and went to the road to hail a cab by herself, and soon disappeared from sight. Seeing that, he furrowed his brows. However, he did not care too much and soon, his slender but imposing figure entered the waiting vehicle.
After getting into the car, Edward reported the situation to him, “President, I found out about the situation last night.”
“Go on,” Nicholas spoke icily without raising his head.
Edward explained, “President Sawyer, according to my investigation, Miss Reinhart’s brother, Timothy, seemed to be in school yesterday, but was taken away by people from the Reinhart Family. Miss Reinhart was not at home last night because she went to them to bring him back, but not only did she not get her brother back, but she was also injured.”
Hearing this, Nicholas suddenly turned cold and stern. “Why does the Reinhart Family want to take Timothy captive? I thought the siblings have severed all ties with them?”
