Chapter 199
Seeing Tessa made Gregory happily pat the seat beside him. “Miss Tessa, come over quickly. I left this seat empty for you. I didn’t even give it up when my uncle came!”
To be able to see Gregory here filled Tessa with emotions. On one hand, she did not know how to face the child. On the other hand, she was very happy to see him.
——-
In the end, she walked toward Gregory, smiling as she asked gently, “Why are you here?”
Gregory replied happily, “I brought Daddy along when I heard that Mr. Timothy was treating us to a meal.”
Timothy did not deny what Gregory had said.
Nicholas must have known about Kieran helping us out. He might even have contributed some help himself. It’s fine if we include him as well. A few more people makes no difference, after all.
After sitting down, Timothy raised his wine glass and toasted the two brothers. “President Sawyer and Master Kieran, I sincerely thank you both for helping me out with the matter of my company’s startup.”
Reciprocating his gratitude, the two brothers drank the alcohol.
Because he was the scapegoat for his brother’s doings, Kieran naturally had to say something. Therefore, he also raised his wine glass and said, “This is but a small matter. You don’t have to thank us like this.”
Since he had already said it, Timothy could not just keep expressing his gratitude, so he just smiled gratefully.
Ever since the incident, Tessa had always wondered about something. Now that the crisis was over, she thought that it would be suitable to bring it up.
Opening her mouth, she asked, “You investigated why the licensing process for my brother’s company would not go through, right? Someone told me that it was because my brother might have offended somebody, so I was wondering if Master Kieran has found out who the mastermind was?”
After stopping for a brief moment, she then proceeded, “This matter is very important to me, so I hope that you will divulge this information.”
Although she did not have a headstrong character, Tessa would be the first to fight the person who bullied her brother.
These few days, she was heartbroken seeing Timothy losing sleep due to the issue.
Since the problem wasn’t solved by Kieran, he was not aware of the mastermind that was targeting Timothy, so he could only look toward his brother, pleading for help.
Calmly, Nicholas took over and said, “It was a rival company. After our group purchased the software designed by your brother, it has now officially entered the developmental phase. On a technical level, it is well ahead of the other company, with it showing the potential to single handedly dominate the market in the future. That’s why they started looking for trouble. Not daring to offend us, they instead feared that Timothy, who was leaving the company at that time, would pose a serious threat to them. It could be said that the whole incident was partly caused by us, so you guys don’t have to worry yourselves anymore,” Nicholas said as he analyzed the situation rationally.
After hearing the nonsense he made up on the spot, Kieran respected his brother even further. His explanation had absolutely no flaw in it and flowed beautifully.
Silently, he gave a thumbs up to his own elder brother.
Not having dabbled in business, Tessa naturally did not know the ins and outs of it, so she fully believed what Nicholas had said.
Because of a technical skill point, Timothy was blocking others’ futures, which was why he was targeted. She could still grasp this simple logic. Now that they know where the problem stemmed from, they could prepare themselves better.
Looking gratefully at the two brothers, Tessa murmured, “Thank you for your help, President Sawyer and Master Kieran.”
Then, they promptly changed the subject and never brought it up again.
As the men did not really like to gossip, the subject started to revolve around how best to develop Timothy’s company.
Striking first, Nicholas questioned, “Now that you guys have the operating license, what plans do you have for the future? Have you thought about where to start?”
Timothy nodded and he smiled at Henry, who was sitting beside him. “I’ve already discussed this with Henry, and we’re now preparing to develop a new software,” he replied.
“The software in question is a position tracking system; we’ve temporarily named it ‘Eye of Horus’ for now. I’ve been preparing for this since the first year of my university, but because of technical issues and other areas that were lacking, I could not complete it.”
