Chapter 405


    Chapter 405 Interrogated


    As if she had been drained of all energy, Tessa leaned weakly against Nichs with her eyes zed


    with lust.


    A long timeter, Nichs finally released his grip on Tessa, who had nearly passed out fromck of


    oxygen. However, their necking didn’t end there. Aroused, the man scooped her up in his arms and


    went back to their bedroom. Their wonderful nightlife had just begun.


    The next day, Tessa had to go to the orchestra after having breakfast with Nichs and Gregory. She


    really wanted to stay with them at home, but the orchestra’s public performance was just around the


    corner, so it’d be inappropriate for her to ask for leave. As a result, Gregory and Nichs were left in


    the huge vi, and Nichs yed with Gregory in the living room.


    Some time afterward, Kieran gave Nichs a video call. He asked with concern, “Nichs, have you


    guys settled down over there? Is Greg alright?”


    Upon hearing Kieran’s voice, Gregory, who was next to Nichs, happily leaned over, saying, “Uncle


    Kieran, I’m fine!”


    Upon seeing this, Nichs held his phone closer to Gregory to make it easier for thetter to speak to


    Kieran.


    The uncle and nephewughed and joked for a while before Nichs’ phone was back in his hands.

    Kieran hemmed as his smile faded somewhat. Then, he said with a solemn expression, “Nichs,


    Grandpa was very angry after you left. As for thepany, nothing went wrong except that I’ve got


    more work to do.” His voice took on an unspeakably aggrieved note toward the end of his sentence.


    Back when Nichs was still at the office, he had never had endless work to be busy with every single


    day like he was at present.


    Nichs pretended not to see the pitiful look in his brother’s eyes. He said coolly, “Keep an eye on the


    company during this time. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask me about it.” Although


    he had said he wouldn’t care about what was going on in the country, he still paid close attention to the


    situation over there, especially the situation of thepany. Of course, he was able to take such a


    hands-off approach because he wasn’t worried at all, knowing that Kieran would take care of the


    company even if he was absent.


    The instant Kieran heard this, his face scrunched up in distress. Why am I always the one who gets


    dragged into trouble and suffers? I just wanted to be a loafer behind Nichs; why am I handling the


    company’s documents on his behalf now? And besides, the president’s workload is simply inhumane,


    especially when I see the documents piling up on my desk, which makes me want all the more to defy


    Nichs and go abroad straight away to abduct him back to the country. At the thought of this, he


    couldn’t help but ask in a whisper, “Nichs, do you have any ns about what to do next?”


    “I’ll be staying abroad for the time being.” Nichs darted an impassive nce at Kieran. He knew full


    well what Kieran was thinking, but he would never go back until Remus gave in.


    When Kieran heard this, his face scrunched up even more. After hanging up the phone, he took a


    nce at the documents piled up on his desk. Then, resigning himself to his fate, he started reviewing


    the documents with a sigh.


    When Kieran finished work in the evening, he was terribly exhausted, so he drove straight to Dynasty


    Gardens. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to go home. However, he knew very well that if he went home,


    his parents would definitely interrogate him about Nichs’ whereabouts, so he’d rather go to Nichs’


    ce to have some peace.


    However, little did he expect that his parents would pursue him all the way to Nichs’ ce despite


    his desire to hide from them.


    In the brightly lit living room, Tobias and Stefania sat on the sofa with serious looks on their faces while


    eyeing Kieran up and down with scrutiny. “Do you really have no idea where your brother is?”


    “Dad, Mom, please let me off. I really don’t know where Nichs is.” Kieran begged for mercy with a


    troubled expression. “It’s not like you two don’t know what he’s capable of. He’s got many ways to


    make people unable to find him.”


    Tobias and Stefania looked at each other. What Kieran said was indeed true. With Nichs’


    capabilities, making them unable to find him was a piece of cake. Still, they didn’t believe that Kieran


    hadn’t heard from him.


    In the end, Tobias fixed Kieran with a warning stare. “Let me ask you again, Kieran. Do you really have


    no idea where your brother is?”


    Kieran’s heart shuddered with fear when he noticed the threat in Tobias’ eyes. Still, he gritted his teeth


    and insisted, “Dad, I really don’t know where he is!”
