    Chapter 559


    When Gregory heard his father rejecting him again, he could no longer hold back the tears in his eyes.


    “No crying.” Nichs didn’t have the habit offorting anyone apart from Tessa, and he didn’t even


    do it to his own son. All he could do was order Gregory not to cry. However, when those words slipped


    out of his mouth, Gregory cried even harder than before. “I want Miss Tessa. I want Miss Tessa!” The


    young boy sobbed as he stared at Nichs, looking especially pitiful with his swollen and red eyes.

    Both father and son red at one another for a while before Nichs let out a sigh and bent down to


    carry Gregory over to the couch. He sat the young boy down before speaking in the gentlest tone he


    could manage. “Aunt Tessa has been preparing for a really importantpetition recently, and she’s


    really busy now. We’d be making things harder for her if we visited her now.”


    Gregory was disappointed to hear this and stuck his lower lip out in a pout. However, he was also


    sensible enough to stop crying. He pouted for a long while before he finally spoke with a shaky voice.


    “Since Miss Tessa is studying music there, 1 want to go there to study too. I want to work hard with


    Miss Tessa.”


    Nichs was shocked to hear this. He would have never expected his son to utter such words.


    However, he quickly made sense of it when he thought of Tessa and Gregory’s tight rtionship. “You’ll


    have to work really hard, then. Your Aunt Tessa is a really impressive woman,” he said.“I will!” Gregory


    gave his father an exaggerated nod. The young boy wore a serious look on his face.Nichs tugged


    his lips into a smile when he saw how serious his son looked. “If that’s what you want, then perhaps I


    can bring you over to meet her after she’s done with thispetition of hers,” Nichs promised with a


    smile on his face.Gregory’s eyes lit up immediately. “I always knew you were the best, Daddy!”The next


    morning, Nichs had breakfast with Gregory before he rushed to thepany. He had only sat in his


    office for a while when Edward knocked on the door and walked in. “President Sawyer, I have sorted


    out the follow-up data needed to terminate our partnership with Stone Enterprise. Since we were the


    ones who called for termination, we were required topensate for their losses. I’ve already


    proceeded with that.”


    Nichs didn’t express much of an opinion as he listened to Edward’s reports. Instead, he sat on his


    executive chair, dressed in a handmade ck suit over a white shirt that he buttoned all the way up.


    His outfit, along with his wless features, made him seem both dangerous and mesmerizing. The


    sunlight from the floor-to-ceiling window in his office scattered all over his figure, enhancing his aura as


    a powerful man who couldn’t go unnoticed.“Go on,” he urged Edward to continue with the report.


    Nichs didn’t seem to care about the little amount of money he had spent onpensating the


    Stones. “Also, the shareholders seem to be protesting the loss we’ve faced whilepensating the


    Stones. They’re throwing a fuss over this issue,” Edward stated.Nichs’s gaze darkened when he


    heard this. A threatening look shed across his eyes. “You can just ignore them. The shareholder


    meeting is tomorrow, and I’ll make all of them shut up by then.”


    Edward gazed at the domineering president before him while he secretly muttered a prayer for all the


    shareholders who were attending the meeting the next day. After that, Edward continued to provide


    reports about other tasks. Once he was done, he turned around to leave the room. However, he


    hesitated for a moment as he recalled something that he wasn’t sure if he wanted to report.Nichs


    quickly noticed the uncertain look on Edward’s face. “What is it?” Nichs asked with a frown. Edward


    immediately exined himself when he saw the impatient look on his boss’s face. “Well, I happened to


    hear that Hayley has left the country. Should I get someone to investigate this?”“No.” Nichs rejected


    the idea without thinking twice. He had made things clear that day, so he was sure that no one in the


    Stone Family would have the guts to get on his bad side again. Furthermore, he wasn’t interested in


    knowing about Hayley’s whereabouts.Even though Hayley hadn’t done anything to Tessa, she had


    been eyeing Tessa’s every move. She knew that Tessa was nning to join the orchestra’spetition


    in order to get herself the role of the lead violinist. When Hayley first heard about this, she nearly fell to


    the ground fromughing too hard.“She wants to chase after her dreams, huh? Well, let me be the one


    to ruin her dreams! I’ll destroy her! I’d like to see how she can snatch my man away from me after this!”


    Hayley hissed.
