Chapter 24

“Alright. President Sawyer.” Edward proceeded to carry out his orders and loaded the luggage onto the

trunk of the car by which they came to the airport.

At the same time, Yana’s face changed, showing an expression that clearly indicated that she was

uncomfortable with what had happened. In the meantime, Roselle’s eyes also lit up sinisterly shortly

before her gaze turned normal.

Nonetheless, Nicholas acted as if he didn’t realize anything and told the mother and daughter to go

without him. “Mrs. Gingham and Miss Gingham, I have something to attend to later, so I’ll have the butler

take you back to the mansion. As for dinner at night, I’ll be there.”

When the ladies heard his words, they were stunned into a trance, but as Yana was about to express her

dissatisfaction, Roselle quickly came to her senses and chuckled. “I’m sorry that you had to come so far

just to pick us up despite your busy schedule, Nicholas. If we had known, we would have taken a cab by

ourselves.”

“No worries.” Nicholas gazed at the lady with a glacial look.

Roselle nodded and smiled gently. “Well, you should probably attend to your business now, Nicholas. I’ll

take Greg home first and meet his grandmother.”

Nicholas didn’t reply to Roselle directly but instead looked at Gregory to see what he had to say about

that. The boy reacted with a long face, decisively turning Roselle’s suggestion down. “I want to be with

Miss Pretty Lady. I don’t want to go back home with some strangers.” As soon as he said that, he made

his way to the Maybach that Nicholas had just got on.

While Tessa was left standing without any idea what to do, Gregory poked his head out of the door and

called out to her. “Come here, Miss Pretty Lady. Let’s go home together!”

Sensing how differently the boy’s tone sounded when he spoke with Tessa, Roselle could barely hide the

unhappiness written all over her face. As her gaze darkened even more, she continued to smile and

maintain her decency, waving her hand while saying, “A-Alright, Nicholas, Mom and I will go first. See

you tonight.”

“Sure.” Nicholas nodded and told his butler to ensure the ladies’ safety before the latter agreed with a

nod and drove away. “Please take them home safely, Edward.”

On the other hand, Roselle finally dropped her pretense and showed a cold expression on her face when

she was on her way back to the manor. At the same time, Yana was also angry, evident in her gloomy

look.

Who’s that lady? How come she is so close to Greg?! Is she really just a music teacher? Or is she some

woman that Nicholas has a fling with?

Despite the problems that were bothering her deep down, Yana didn’t dare to speak her mind but shot a

gaze at her daughter. When Roselle met her mother’s gaze and understood what it meant, she was

overwhelmed by her anger, which she was able to suppress shortly after. Then, she raised the corner of

her lips and sounded out Edward, who was sitting in the driver’s seat. “Edward, Miss Reinhart seems like

a nice person. How long has she been here? She seems to be really close to Greg.”

Without much hesitation, Edward went on and replied with a smile, “Not very long, actually. She’s only

been here for a few days, but for some reason, the Little Prince just seems to click perfectly with her.

Wherever Miss Reinhart goes, he’ll surely want to be along, which is strange because he hardly

associates with anyone until he meets her.”

When Roselle heard Edward’s reply, her eyes darkened, and a pang of bitter jealousy surged through

her.

That lady has only been here not long ago, yet she’s gotten so close to Greg already? What the heck is

going on?

Although Roselle might have been living her life abroad previously, she had never stopped following

everything that happened around Nicholas. Thus, she was aware that Gregory was a shy child who was

only comfortable with people with whom he was familiar and hardly socialized with strangers.

Other than that, she also knew that Nicholas hadn’t really gotten to know any woman, but after she took

a break from following Nicholas, she was stunned by Tessa’s sudden appearance.

Then, when she recalled the moment that Nicholas protected Tessa earlier on, her jealousy took over her

mind and swamped her with a great sense of danger.

Yana was able to see through her daughter’s worry and patted her hand to comfort her, but her eyes

were filled with a darkened, sinister energy. After all, the mother and daughter had returned to the

country they came from with an agenda to win Nicholas over. In fact, the Gingham Family had been

suffering from poor performances in their international businesses, although they might still look

successful on the outside.

Therefore, the two ladies were counting on the marriage between Roselle and Nicholas to secure the

necessary resources from the Sawyer Group in order to help save the Gingham Group. Because of that,

they were determined to get what they wanted and would do anything to get rid of anyone who stood in

their way.

Anyone who tries to stop me will be gotten rid of!
