Chapter 1469


    CHAPTER 1469 DON’T HOLD YOUR BREATH


    The voices of the people who disagreed with her initially started to die down. Madeline was right; it


    wasn''t news that Nichs wanted to restructure the branchpanies abroad. If it weren''t because


    Zachary and the others, they wouldn''t have been able to keep thepanies that they owned now.


    "Will Nichs really let them go if we hand over these assets, though? Is he going to fool us again like


    he did thest time?" someone asked timidly.


    A fierce voice boomed in reply, "I dare him to!" The person who said this was Felix''s wife, Tamira. She


    had a ferocious look on her face as she added, "If he resorts to trickery, I''ll send someone to trash all


    the branchpanies abroad!"


    Nobody argued with her because this was another way for them to vent their anger.


    Madeline swept her gaze across the room, and when no one said anything against her suggestion, she


    announced, "Since we''vee to an agreement, we''ll negotiate with Nichs tomorrow."


    …


    Early morning the next day, Nichs had breakfast together with Tessa and the kids before leaving for


    work. Soon after he entered his office, Edward knocked and came in. "President Sawyer, the wives of


    Mr. Zachary, and the others are here."


    This came as no surprise to Nichs because he expected them to look for him when he sent Zachary


    and the others packing to the police station. "Tell them that I''m not free."


    "Okay." Edward left after receiving his order and arrived at the first floor very quickly with the elevator.


    "Madams, I''m sorry, but President Sawyer is fully booked. Nheless, he has made it clear that he


    will do everything by the book concerning Mr. Zachary and the others." Then, he immediately turned


    around and returned to his work, ignoring the shocked looks on their faces.


    The voices of the people who disagreed with her initially started to die down. Madeline was right; it


    wasn''t news that Nichs wanted to restructure the branchpanies abroad. If it weren''t because


    Zachary and the others, they wouldn''t have been able to keep thepanies that they owned now.


    Madeline and the others were left on the spot with dark expressions. It had never urred to them that


    Nichs wouldpletely disregard them. Frankly speaking, they hadn''t even nned for such a


    possibility.


    "What are we going to do now, Madeline?" Lisa asked, turning to Madeline with a worried frown. "We


    can''t negotiate with Nichs if he couldn''t even be bothered to meet us face-to-face."


    "If he doesn''t want to see us, we''ll think of a way to make him see us!" Madeline hissed through gritted


    teeth and brought her sisters-inw to Dynasty Gardens.


    In the living room, Tessa was a little surprised to hear from Andrew that Madeline and the others were


    here for a visit. Although she didn''t turn them away, she could already guess the reason that brought


    them here.


    It looks like they want me to withdraw the charges against Uncle Zachary and the others, she thought


    as Andrew led the women into the room.


    "Hello, everyone," Tessa greeted them politely out of courtesy, but the expression on her face was


    stoic.


    As Madeline and the others were already disgruntled because of Nichs, they fumed with anger at


    the look on Tessa''s face. Still, they knew that they were the onesing here to ask for a favor, so


    they restrained their temper and tried their best to appear friendly on the surface.


    "Tessa, we''re here today only because we''re out of wits. I know that Zachary and the others have done


    you wrong, and we''re willing to make up for it. But, of course, we wouldn''t let you go on your way


    empty-handed. We''ll hand over the administrative rights of the branchpanies in Europe to the


    headquarters as long as Nichs gives the green light on their release," Madeline began, trying to


    persuade Tessa as she ced all her chips on the table.


    Lisa chirped in as well, "Furthermore, you''re alright now, aren''t you? We''re a family, after all, not


    enemies. Tell Nichs to let his uncles and granduncles go, and we''ll cooperate with him on all the


    businesses abroad."


    Tessa was so furious by their shamelessness that she sneered, "Aunt Lisa, I simply can''t agree with


    what you just said. If I hadn''t tried my best to save myself back then, I might not have made it. There


    was a high chance I would have lost my life far before Nichs could have rescued me along with the


    rescue team. Yet, you still have the gall to say that I''m alright now?" Then, she threw an icy look at


    Lisa.


    Her re made Lisa uneasy and ashamed at the same time, and before she could say anything, Tessa


    continued coldly, "As for the matter with Uncle Zachary and the others… Let''s just say that you


    shouldn''t hold your breath on it." Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.


    When Madeline and the others heard that, they could no longer maintain an amicable facade as they


    red at her sullenly.
