Chapter 1421 One of Us

"All of you are talking about these matters merely days after Kieran has died. It's not

unreasonable to assume that you have some sort of an evil plan, you know." Stefania shot

the people around her a fierce glare. Both Adam and Joseph looked rather uneasy after

hearing her words. "What is your wife talking about, Tobias?"

Adam and Joseph, being the younger ones, felt like they were in no position to speak to

their senior's wife, so they looked directly to Tobias instead. Tobias had always felt

disappointed toward the family's approach to such matters, and he didn't bother to

conceal his thoughts. "I think my wife is right. We invited you guys over to talk about my

son's funeral, yet you guys keep focusing on the topic of the company. It's hard for us not

to assume that you guys have ulterior motives," he uttered icily.

Many of the people seemed rather uneasy after that. Even Adam and Joseph looked rather

pale. "That's nonsense! Are you not going to do anything about this, Old Master Sawyer?"

Adam barked before turning to look at Remus.

Remus shot Adam a cold glare before lecturing him. "Shut up. You're not acting like the

wise senior one would expect you to be, so you deserve to receive those comments,"

Remus muttered. Meanwhile, Tessa held Gordon in her arms while she watched all the

arguments happening in the family. She felt rather dejected to see the way they were

interacting. Nicholas must find it hard to deal with a family like this. She couldn’t help but

reach out to hold Nicholas' hand at that thought.

Nicholas instinctively lowered his gaze to look at his hand when he felt some warmth

against his skin. "What is it?" he asked gently.

"It's nothing," Tessa replied while shaking her head. Despite this, Nicholas could see

Tessa's sympathy for him in her eyes, and he seemed to soften a little after that. Nicholas

squeezed Tessa's hand before he turned back to the crowd with his icy, hard expression. "I

didn't just invite you here to talk about Kieran's funeral. I'd also like to talk about his

accident," he stated before pausing for a short while. "Someone meddled with the brakes

of the car he was driving on the day of his accident. The person who did this is from our

company," he announced.

Everyone in the crowd except Adam and Joseph was utterly shocked to hear this.

"Someone from our company, huh?"

"Did you find something, Nicholas?" People from Adam and Joseph's immediate families

started to look rather uneasy at this point. Adam and Joseph, in particular, seemed rather

nervous. Joseph was the first to speak up in the end. "How do you know that the person

who's involved is one of our people, Nicholas?"

Nicholas' gaze darkened as he slowly turned to look at Joseph. "Well, that's because the

car that Kieran took was supposed to belong to me. I always install security systems in all

my cars so that it would send out an alert whenever outsiders get close to the vehicle.

However, ever since the incident, my car has never made any reports of a breach of

security. So, I'm sure that it's someone on the inside who's involved with this. I continued

down this pathway to realize more issues along the way."

The look in Nicholas' eyes was filled with fury when he next glanced in Joseph's direction.

Joseph felt himself panicking at this point. Did this brat find something?

Stefania immediately continued pressing Nicholas for answers after that. "Did you manage

to find the culprit who harmed your brother, Nicholas?" Remus and Tobias didn't say much,

but they all had their eyes fixed on Nicholas. Tessa shot him a worried glance as well.

Nicholas lowered his gaze as he spoke. "I have found the culprit," he announced.

"Who is it?" Both Remus and Tobias were stunned at this point, while both Adam and

Joseph started to feel rather uneasy. The rest of the people threw curious glances in

Nicholas' direction. Meanwhile, Nicholas looked at the crowd's expression for a while

before he spoke at a slow pace. "Well, according to the security footage, the one who

messed with the car was one of the security guards in our company, but…" Nicholas

paused for the sake of dramatic effect as he shifted his icy glance to look at Joseph. "My

staff managed to find out that the same security guard was in contact with Joseph's

assistant, Emmet Fiddler, before the accident. How are you going to explain this, Joseph?"

Joseph's face fell upon hearing the man's words.
