Chapter 247 Chapter 247 The police ! Marissa shot to her feet , panic flashing in her eyes .
What are the police doing here ?? The housekeeper flinched under her gare , then stammered , T Theyre here for you ...
because of the reports on all the platforms .
The authorities need to investigate whether you used illegal means to take Amelies assets .
You bastard Marissa shrieked .
That money was offered by Amelie ! Since when does that count as fraud ?! And you how dare you call that wretched woman by her name in front of me ! Are you trying to piss me off to death ?? S Sorry .
Mrs Sawyer , the housekeeper said , shrinking back .
Just then , a group of uniformed police officers entered the room led by a familiar face .
Mr.
Sawyer , Mrs.
Sawyer , said the man with impeccable manners .
It was Bryan Nicolass trusted assistant ..
Bryan ! What are you doing here ? Braiden asked wanly .
Bryan offered a polite smile .
Tm here on behalf of Mr.
Sawyer to file a formal complaint against you all for conspiracy to defraud Miss Amelie .
Well need you to come to the station to cooperate with the investigation You little punk Marissa exploded .
That bastard dares to sue his own parents ?! Hes gone completely insane ! Get that good for nothing out herr- tell him to show his faceli Bryan calmly looked her up a and down , then en replied with a light smile , Ms.
Olson , I suggest you choose your words carefully .
You and Mr.
Sawyer share no blood relation , so calling yourself his mother is a bit of a stretch .
If you ask me , enemy seems more appropriate .
Marissa lunged at him in fury .
Bryan took a graceful step back and turned to the officers with a smile , Officers , thank you for your assistance .
Two of them munediately stepped forward , standing between Bryan and Marissa Mr.
Olson , one said firmly , please come with us .
We need your cooperation for the investigation Thavent done anything wrong ! Marissas voice faltered a little as the uniformed presence began to intimidate her .
She instinctively took a step back You- Before she could argue further , Braiden stepped forward and put a hand on her shoulder . Dont fight it .
Lets go to the station and sort this out .
ng him aside .
Braiden Marissa hissed , pulling reyes .
Do you have a plan ? She looked into his cabin expression and narrowed here More or less , Braiden replied coolly .
He turned to Marshall and added in a lone voice , While were gone , do nothing .
Understand ? Marshall looked worried .
Are you sure thats a good idea , Dad Braidens lips curved into a cold sneer .
That brat thinks hes clever , pulling a stunt like this but he doesnt realize hes playing right into my hands .
A on publicly suing his own father ? In our circles , thats uiterly disgraceful .
No matter what evidence he digs up , the world wont side with him .
Whats die gott A puny little entertainment company ? He dares go up against the Sawyer Group ? Pathetic .
Once Im out , well deal with him properly Right , Marshall nodded .
We underestimated him .
Whod have thought he was running an entertainment business in secret ? But no matter what .
hes still nothing compared to the Sawyer empire .
Well take care of him once youre back .
1/3 Chapter 217 Braiden nodded , then walked away with Marissa in tow , both escorted by the officers .
But as he left .
Braiden turned and threw a vicious glare at Bryan .
Tell that bastard to brace himself .
Ill deal with him the moment I get out Bryan responded with his usual mild mannered smile .
Dont worry .
111 be sure to pass along the message .
Braiden snorted and walked out proudly , head held high Bryan watched him go , a knowing smile playing on his lips .
Braiden might think Nicolas only had Radiance Media and couldnt possibly stand up to the Sawyer Group .
But what he didnt know was that Nicolass reach extended far beyond entertainment , His businesses touched every industry the Sawyer Group operated in and more .
And while Braiden was celebrating , those same businesses were silently , steadily buying up Sawyer Group stock at bargain prices .
Each company might look unrelated on the surface .
But behind them all ... was one one man .
Nicolas Sawyer .
Braiden believed hed be out in a few days and would return to his role as the triumphant head of the Sawyer family .
He had no idea that in just a few days , the entire industry landscape would shift beneath his feet .
As the police took Braiden away , Bryan pulled out his phone and dialed Nicolas .
Mr.
Sawyer, the Sawyers have been taken into custody .
Everything is going exactly as planned .
News of Braidens arrest spread like wildfire .
When Luciano found out , he flew into a rage .
I knew something was off with Bryan showing up in person ! That bastard mustve leaked the video of Mom and Dad being taken away .
Damn it ! Everyones panicking stock prices hit rock bottom the moment the market opened ! Marshall was seething , his fists clenched tight .
That damn Nicolas .
All he knows is how to play these dirty tricks Luciano paced in frustration .
What do we do now , Marshall Rumors are flying , and a bunch of companies are trying to scoop up our stock for cheap ! Dad said to sit tight .
Marshall said through gritted teeth .
But can we really afford to do nothing ? Luciano said , panicked .
Something doesnt feel right .
Which is exactly why y we stay put .
If we panic , itll only confirm to the public that were guilty .
Dont make a move until Dads back .
Got it ?? Luciano shrank a little .
Get it Meanwhile , in Nicolass office , he was ... playing block tower with Noelle .
It was a pivotal week , yet Noelle had stuck close to Nicolas every day .
The Andersons , surprisingly , didnt object they all seemed to silently approve of the time they spent together . A tower of wooden blocks now stood taller than either of them .
Noelle balanced on Nicolass chair , her arm stretched high as she said , Nicolas, hand me another block ! One of his arms supported her slim waist , the other passed her another piece .
He chuckled .
You sure you want to build this all the way to the ceiling ? Most people could barely stack half a meter .
Leave it to Noelle to try and break records .
Noelle beamed .
Why not ? Bu not ? But Im not tall enough .
Thats the only problem Nicolas grinned .
Chapter 247 Then Ill build you a platform And what if I do reach the ceiling and still want to keep stacking ? she askedl Whatever space you need , Ill make sure you have it .
Without missing a beat , Nicolas said .
Then Ill have the ceiling torn off .
W Deal ! Noelle laughed brightly .
She tiptoed even higher .
Okay next block ! Here Just as Nicolas handed her another block , Bryan walked in ... and immediately paused .
What he saw was strange .
Nicolas was sitting in a chair , legs apart , and Noelle was standing between them on the chair .
Nicolas had one hand on her waist , keeping her steady .
The whole scene looked ... awkward .
Very awkward .
And undeniably intimate .
Bryan cleared his throat .
Mr.
Sawyer Speak .
Nicolas didnt even glance at him his eyes remained on Noelle , completely unbothered Bryan broke out in a cold sweat .
The whole internets on fire , the Sawyers are spiraling and this man is playing block tower with Miss Anderson like its Sunday morning So this ... this was what real composure looked like .
No wonder hes the boss .
Bryan swallowed , steeling himself to deliver the next update .
