    Chapter 653 Knock Knock


    “What’s he doing here?” Nichs still allowed his men to bring Kaiden in despite sounding rather


    disdainful.


    Soon enough, Kaiden was brought into the room and Nichs threw him an icy re. “Why are you


    here? Aren’t you supposed to take care of J?” Nichs asked.


    “J was worried, and wanted me toe here to help you with anything you might need.” Kaiden


    hung his head low to speak in a respectful tone. However, underlying the dark pupils was a spark of


    evil that surfaced as he thought about their n.


    At that point, Nichs hadn’t suspected anything. He shifted his focus to think about the undercover in


    their group, and he figured that it’d be better for Kaiden to do the research. Since Kaiden was one of


    the people on the team, others might not be as suspicious of his sudden change in actions.


    “I happen to have something I need you to do,” Nichs said.


    “Anything at all, President Sawyer.” Kaiden looked extremely prepared to follow whatever orders.


    Nichs nodded and told Kaiden about the situation. “I suspect there must be a mole in the group who


    revealed Cole’s whereabouts. I want you to investigate who it was who exposed Cole’s location.”


    Kaiden felt his heart pounding when he heard the man’s words. He hadn’t expected Nichs to make


    the correct guess so soon, and he was also d that he had shown up in time. If Nichs had ordered


    someone else to do this, they might have exposed J for what she did.

    “I got it,” Kaiden agreed to the instructions. He ced all his emotions aside as he nodded and


    excused himself.


    Nichs told his other men to leave as well.


    The air around him was hushed once they left. He slumped into the couch as tiredness washed over


    his figure. He massaged his temples for a while and fell asleep before realizing it.


    Sometimeter, he was awakened by the sound of sirens outside. His eyes shot open to find that the


    skies were bright out. He hastily went to the shower and washed up. Once he was awake, he took his


    phone and went to the hall to call Tessa. He had to tell her he hadn’t managed to make the trip to


    Yveva, anyway.


    On the other end, Tessa had just ended practice and returned to her hotel. She was puzzled when she


    saw Nichs. “Why aren’t you on the ne yet? Did something happen?”


    Her question made sense. Nichs was a man of his word—he would never go against his promises


    unless something important urred. He didn’t exin too much about his situation. “Some


    emergency came up, but I told Gregory to head first. I’ll definitely arrive before your performance


    starts,” he said.


    Tessa was slightly disappointed that she couldn’t see Nichs the next day, but she didn’t say much


    about it. “Hurry up and get things settled, then. Stay safe. I’ll wait for you,” she uttered gently.


    “I’ll be safe.” A faint smile hung from Nichs’ face as he asked her about her practice. She picked a


    few interesting stories to tell him, and they chatted for a while more after that before Nichs told


    Tessa to go to bed.


    After they ended the call, Tessay in bed for a time as she couldn’t fall asleep. For some reason, she


    had a bad feeling about the whole thing regarding Nichs. Is something terrible about to happen?


    She knitted her brows and thought about it for a long while, but she couldn’t pinpoint anything. The best


    she could do was hope that she was just overthinking.


    Meanwhile, after more than 10 hours on the flight, Gregory finally arrived at Yveva, where it was the


    middle of the night. Edward led the young boy out of the airport, walking alongside Timothy. This was


    Tessa’s first official performance as the lead violinist, and he had to be there for such a significant


    moment.


    Three of them hurried over to the hotel where Tessa was staying. Gregory had just dumped his luggage


    in the room when he pestered the adults to let him meet Tessa. “Let’s visit Miss Tessa, Uncle Tim! I


    really miss her.”


    It had been a while since Timothy saw his sister, and he also missed her. So, both of them hurried off,


    leaving Edward behind as he watched the two figures rushing ahead without him. Edward had wanted


    toment on how Tessa might be sleeping, but he figured that Tessa wouldn’t mind being disturbed.


    Meanwhile, Tessa was fast asleep in dreand when she heard a knocking on the door. She was


    startled at first but still dazedly tried to get out of bed.
