Whistleblower
Nicholas directly criticized coldly, “Greg doesn’t even mind. Who do you think you are to say those
things?”
He said those words so frigidly that it made Janet feel a chill down her spine, and she could no longer
maintain the smile on her face.
In an instant, the atmosphere turned absolutely awkward.
Despite disliking the woman’s passive-aggressive manner of speech, Tessa helped to mediate the
situation as the woman was still their guest.
“Come, let’s eat. Otherwise, the food is going to get cold.”
However, Janet no longer had the appetite to eat at this moment.
So, she ignored Tessa and looked at the indifferent-looking man opposite her with a forceful tug on her
lips. “You are right. I have completely overstepped.”Nicholas didn’t spare her a glance and enjoyed his
salmon spinach quiche on his own.
Janet only felt even more embarrassed when she saw his actions.
Since she didn’t want to continue to make a fool out of herself in front of Tessa, she immediately came
up with an excuse to leave.
Once she stepped out of the gate of Dynasty Gardens, she suddenly stopped and abruptly turned her
head to look at the majestic manor behind her. When she remembered the scene she witnessed in the
dining hall a while ago, her gaze was gloomy, and her expression twisted into a ghastly look.
Meanwhile, in the dining hall, Tessa frowned slightly as she looked in the direction that Janet had left.
She could feel that Janet was miserable when she left. So, she asked in concern, “Is it alright for Miss
Brenner to leave like that?”
“She’s no one of importance. So, don’t bother much about her,” Nicholas said as he ate another
mouthful of the salmon spinach quiche.
Similarly, Gregory, who was next to her, nodded in agreement and took the opportunity to confess.
“Miss Tessa, you can just ignore her. I don’t like her anyway. I only like you.”
“Aw, Greg, did you eat candy today? Why is your little mouth so sweet?” Gregory’s flattering words
overjoyed Tessa.
With that, she pinched the little guy’s cheek affectionately.
Gregory did not mind his cheek being pinched either. Instead, he smiled even joyfully. “I didn’t eat any
candy. Everything I say is true. Miss Tessa, I like you the most!”
As Tessa listened, she simply felt charmed deep down as if her heart had drank nectar.
Later, Nicholas wanted to get up and go to work in the study after he was done with his breakfast.
Due to the injury on his body not completely healed yet, he planned to stay at home for this period of
time.
Tessa did not stop him when she saw that and only urged, “Don’t get too tired and don’t sit for too long
as well. You need to get up and exercise a little.”
Nicholas nodded with a smile upon hearing her fussing over him. Then, he went to his study.
About noon, Edward came to the residence to report to his boss.
When he saw Tessa and Gregory playing in the living room, he greeted them before heading upstairs.
He raised his hand and knocked on the door once he stood before the study’s door.
“Come in.” Nicholas’ stern voice sounded from inside.
Edward pushed open the door and went in. Then, respectfully, he stood in the center of the room and
started reporting company-related matters.
Once he had finished with his report, he talked about the disclosure of Cole’s whereabouts from last
time. “President Sawyer, according to the investigation done by our men, it is confirmed that there is
indeed a whistleblower in Mr. Spurse’s team. But we haven’t found out in detail who it is yet.”
Nicholas narrowed his eyes once he heard that.
After he pondered the matter for a while, a cold gleam flashed in his eyes, and he ordered, “You can
directly instruct our men to investigate Janet.”
Previously, he didn’t feel something was off. However, when he carefully thought about the whole
incident, he realized that Janet acted oddly during this period.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt this woman’s behavior was suspicious, especially when
she kept stopping him from leaving after he was injured. This made him feel relatively disgusted.
As Edward was unaware of these, he was a little stunned and asked, “Are you suspecting that it was
Miss Brenner who disclosed the information?”
“You’ll be able to know whether it was her or not after you’ve investigated.”
Although Edward didn’t believe that Janet would do something like this, he still received the order and
left to investigate her.
That afternoon, Cole also visited Nicholas as he was concerned about Nicolas’ injury; he was here to
check up on him.
After he took a seat, he couldn’t help but nag, “You’re too reckless. It’s quite out of your character,
considering you don’t look like someone who’s so impulsive on normal days.”
“Well, my impulsive behavior is selective.” Nicholas curled the corner of his mouth slightly, and his eyes
turned gentle.
Cole instantly knew that there was something up with Nicholas once he saw this.
Just as he was about to ask, a knock on the door interrupted him.
It turned out that it was Tessa who brought tea over for them.
When he saw her, he immediately stood up from the sofa and wanted to help.
However, she avoided his help. “No, it’s fine. I’ll do it. You should be more mindful of your injuries.”
