Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 1034

Chapter 1034 Soren Was Threatened

For the time being, Walter and Eunice were being cautious with their every move, leaving no traces for others to find their weak points. However, Nicholas had an alternative starting point.

“Go see the stage operator again,” he ordered in a low tone.

Edward nodded, understanding that Nicholas was trying to dig up information from Soren. Then, he left the study room and headed to the place Soren was being held at.

“Why did you withdraw your statement? Do you wish to stay behind the bars forever?” When Edward saw Soren, the former cut to the chase without wasting any second.

To his surprise, Soren answered his question with a neutral tone that betrayed no emotions. “I do.”

Edward had a hunch that Soren’s attitude seemed a little off. Furrowing his brows, Edward pressed, “Did something happen?”

However, Soren refused to answer him.

After that, no matter what question Edward shot at him, Soren kept his silence, leaving Edward with no choice but to leave for the moment.

Edward got in his car, but the more he thought about Soren’s attitude, the more his intuition was telling him that something didn’t add up. Thus, he immediately took out his phone and called Nicholas.

“President Sawyer, something is off about Soren’s attitude. I asked him if he wanted to stay in custody, and he told me that he would like to.”

Then, Edward briefed Nicholas on his meeting with Soren a while ago.

The man on the other side of the phone remained silent for a few seconds before his calm voice reached Edward. “There’s no way he doesn’t want freedom, unless he was threatened by someone. You should check on his family.”

“I understand. I’ll work on it.” Understanding dawned on Edward, and he gave the other man new insight. After ending the call, Edward headed to Soren’s house without any delay.

However, he found Evan alone in the house once he arrived at his destination. Her expression seemed a little off to him as if something was troubling her.

“Madam Evan, why are you alone? Where’s your son? I don’t see him here.”

Edward was asking out of politeness, never expecting his words would trigger something inside her mind and cause her to burst into tears before him.

“Mr. Jackson, please help me! They kidnapped my son and asked me to not tell the police.” Evan grabbed Edward’s hands with an agitated look on her face, and her wobbling legs were ready to kneel for him.

“Yes, President Sawyer.” Edward nodded and left, leaving Nicholas pondering alone in the office.

His cold gaze fell into a point in the distance, his eyes freezing with determination.

He wouldn’t let Eunice get away without facing the consequences. Nicholas believed that she simply had to pay for her mistakes. Moreover, she was a potential harm to his wife and son.

In the following few days, the news online related to Sofia Symphony went on, but the discussion among netizens had shifted toward the topic of the potential new leader of Group Two in the orchestra.

‘I think Tessa is the most competitive among the candidates.’

‘I agree with the last post. Most of Sofia’s students already have their own group except Tessa, who holds no position in the orchestra.’

‘Her chance is high since she’s capable and prestigious. Moreover, she is Sofia’s immediate student. That alone is enough to beat other competitors.’

Meanwhile, Eunice was staying at home, but she was beyond angry with the netizens’ comments.
