Chapter 698

Chapter 698 It Is Not Me They Are After In the end, Yvette stomped her feet and warned, “Timothy Reinhart, you will regret this!”

After she said this, she swiveled her head and glared at Tessa menacingly, threatening her, “Just you wait.”

Timothy’s face immediately turned dark and scary when he saw this.

Although Yvette was a little scared, she wanted to have the last word and let out a cold snort before she turned to leave.

Unexpectedly, when she turned around, she noticed the curious eyes all around the cafe and yelled angrily, “What are you looking at?!”

Tessa watched Yvette walk away and did not take her threats to heart.

On the contrary, she was more worried about her brother’s situation. “Wouldn’t the company be affected if you unilaterally cut off the cooperation just like that?”

“It won’t matter. It is not me they are after at the end of the day.”

Timothy’s indifferent explanation puzzled her.

“What do you mean?” She asked.

“The father-daughter duo of the Turner Family knew that Nicholas and I are acquainted, and I just happened to be interested in a project of their company, so I’ve decided to work with them. But I never expected that a woman like Yvette would pester me endlessly like this and even humiliate you. If that’s the case, this cooperation is not worth it,” he roughly explained.

While Tessa was relieved, she couldn’t help but advise him, “Although it’s mutually beneficial, we should stay away from people like these in the future. After all, I’ll only be staying here for a short time. I may have to leave soon. If this happens again, no one can help you.”

“Tess, I’m all grown up now. I’m no longer the child that needs you to protect me anywhere I go. I can handle these things.”

Although Timothy said this, he still enjoyed the care that she gave him.

When she heard this, she shot him an angry look. “Even if you’re an adult, in my eyes, you are still the little brother that I need to protect.”

“Yes, you’ll always be my guardian angel,” he joked.

Then, the two laughed again.

After all, they didn’t need to waste their time on people who didn’t matter.

Once they had finished their coffee, the siblings parted ways as Timothy had to deal with some company business.

Tessa wandered the street for a while before taking a taxi back to Dynasty Gardens.

Nicholas and Gregory weren’t home when she returned, so she headed to the music room to practice the violin.

It wasn’t until late at night that the father and son came home.

When Gregory saw Tessa sitting on the sofa, he immediately shook off his father’s hand and trotted over happily.

“Miss Tessa, did you miss me? I’ve missed you the whole afternoon,” he said with a sugary voice as he hugged her.

Tessa didn’t feel he was clingy and hugged the little boy happily in her arms. “I’ve missed you too. What did you do with Daddy this afternoon?”

“We visited Great-Grandpa in the hospital, then I followed Daddy to the company,” Gregory fidgeted with his fingers as he expounded in great detail of their whereabouts this afternoon.

The obedient and sensible side of him made Tessa’s heart melt.

At this time, Nicholas also came over and directly sat next to her.

When Tessa saw this, she turned to ask him about Remus, “How’s your Grandpa doing?”

“He’s recovering well, don’t you worry,” he briefly answered before changing the subject and asking, “Is your brother coming home for dinner tonight?”

“He didn’t bring this up with me. I’ll call him to ask.”

As she said this, she let go of Gregory and got up to take her phone.

On the other side, when Timothy received the call, he and Henry had just gotten off at a private club.

“I’m not going over tonight. I have a party to attend with Henry,” Timothy answered the call and explained to Tessa.

When she heard this, she warned, “Don’t drink too much, and don’t stay out for too long.”

“I know.” he nodded and hung up the phone.

Then, he brought Henry into the club.

Unexpectedly, not long after they entered, they ran into Yvette and a guy from a wealthy family.
