Always Been Yours

Chapter 11 Throw Them Out

Lauren’s breath hitched when she felt a chilling presence drawing close, and she turned to see a tall and impeccably elegant man walking toward them, carrying with him an overwhelming sense of rage.

Sophia, too, followed her mother’s line of vision, only to be stunned by the view at first sight.

The man looked like a noble work of art, and she had never seen such a refined and top-quality specimen before this. In fact, he seemed so high above others, so imperious and intimidating, that she was seized with the urge to shrink back from him.

However, she quickly straightened up as she asked bluntly, “Who are you?”

To one side, Trevor scoffed disdainfully and drawled in an icy tone, “This is Nicholas Sawyer, otherwise known as President Sawyer—the man who holds the reins in Sawyer Group.” Then, eyeing Lauren condescendingly, he added, “And as for the mongrel you were talking about, he happens to be Young Master Gregory, the Little Prince of the Sawyer Family.”

At that moment, it was as if Lauren’s mind imploded. She felt like lightning had struck her where she stood, and all the color drained from her face.

Sophia wasn’t much better off. Both mother and daughter were so astonished that their jaws nearly dropped to the floor.

He’s Nicholas Sawyer? As in the man over whom countless socialites and heiresses are fawning over? What is he doing here? What is his relationship with Tessa?

Countless questions flooded their minds as their hearts slowly filled with jealousy and envy.

Lauren was the first to snap out of her reverie, and in a fit of shock and fear, she stammered, “O-Oh, President Sawyer, I do apologize for the misunderstanding. I accidentally pushed the young master in the heat of the moment just now, and I promise you I didn’t mean to hurt him in any way—”
