Chapter 228

This piece of news was actually released by Remus, and it was approved by the Stones. Hence, this matter could be regarded as consensual between the two families. Initially, they wanted to rely on this news to give pressure to Nicholas. They thought this would allow the two youngsters to go with the flow and directly get married. However, everyone did not expect that Nicholas would be so resolute and frankly defy Remus’ idea.

Maxwell was also enraged, and he snorted, “He’s obviously making a fool out of our family! Well, this kid is so courageous! Get the car ready! We’ll pay a visit to the Sawyer Residence!” The more Maxwell thought about the matter, the more he could not let this slide. His crutches rattled on the ground as he stormed out.

Maxwell swiftly rushed to Remus’ residence. Once he arrived, he glared at Remus angrily. “You ought to give me an explanation for this.”

Likewise, Remus also did not expect Nicholas would directly embarrass the Stones in such a way. So, he thinks he’s all grown up now, and he can make important decisions without asking me.

Although the business of the Stones was nowhere near as good as the Sawyers’, both Remus and Maxwell were lifelong friends. Besides, it was Remus who had released the news. Hence, this could also be considered as Nicholas publicly embarrassed Remus. At the thought of that, Remus was also instantly enraged. “Call that evil grandson of mine!”

Upon receiving the order, the housekeeper immediately called Nicholas. After calling him for ten times, no one answered the call. The housekeeper was rather in a difficult situation. “Sir, Master Nicholas isn’t picking up…”

Maxwell had requested Hayley to stay at home and wait for his news. Nevertheless, it was her first time to experience such an obvious embarrassment, so she was a little annoyed. Without saying a word, she directly went to search for Nicholas in the Sawyer Group’s office building.

Along the way, Hayley had figured things out. As long as Nicholas is willing to come up with a logical reason, then I’ll forgive him and will not pursue this matter. I’ll accept his clarification if he has his own reasons. Even if his reason is for the sake of the company’s development, I can still accept his clarification as long as he’s still here with me. After all, it’s true that we’re the ones who forced him into this marriage. But my feelings for Nicholas are also real. I really love him. I’m willing to do anything as long as Nicholas is willing to marry me.

Soon, the car stopped downstairs at the Sawyer Group’s office building.

When Hayley saw Edward, she smiled and said, “Mr. Jackson, I have some matters that I wish to discuss with President Sawyer. So, I wonder if he can spare me some time.”

Upon hearing that, Edward simply asked Hayley to wait outside. He soon returned to the office to inquire with Nicholas if he would let Hayley in.

“No,” Nicholas said coldly after he found out who the visitor was. Not once did he pause flipping the document in his hand or raise his head.

Even though Nicholas had issued a rumor refutal statement later, Tessa was still disinterested in this matter. It has nothing to do with me whether Nicholas is marrying Hayley or not.

At this moment, Tessa had been invited to meet with Scott at a cafe outside.

When Tessa saw the gentle-looking man again, she immediately thought about how she had left him alone after being taken away by Nicholas last time. Hence, she felt a little embarrassed and apologized to Scott by saying, “I’m really sorry about the incident last time.”

However, Scott did not take it to heart. He smiled gently. “It’s okay. I had some things to deal with not long after you left. Not to mention, you didn’t leave on purpose. So, there’s no need for you to apologize.”

After that, Scott paused for a while before he continued, “But I asked you out this time because I have something to ask you.”

“What is it?” Tessa was a little curious, Scott said, “I want to ask you this: What do you think about the Berlin Philharmonic?”

“Frankly speaking, the Berlin Philharmonic has always been the muse in my heart. I like your performances very much. The Berlin Philharmonic can be regarded as the top-tier orchestra among the international orchestras. So, I’m very longing to join the orchestra one day.”

Whenever she spoke of music, Tessa’s eyes would light up.

At once, Scott said, “Like you said, the Berlin Philharmonic’s standard is very high. With your talent, there’s a possible chance that you can join us in the future. However, you’re still lacking something, so it’s really unlikely that you’re able to join now.”

Upon hearing this, Tessa lowered her eyes. I have watched so many performances done by the Berlin Philharmonic. How would I not know the gap between my skill and theirs! But now that someone suddenly pointed it out mercilessly, I feel even more dejected. “I’m aware of that.”

Seeing Tessa acting this way, Scott could not help laughing. “You don’t have to get dejected so soon.

The Berlin Philharmonic intends to train newcomers recently. If you want, you can come to the Berlin Philharmonic and learn first. When you have improved, you’ll definitely have an opportunity to join in the future.”
