Chapter 1075 Kick Her Out!
However, Susan wasn’t prepared to give up just yet—she refused to leave. The air around them was tense as they both remained in their spots. Right then, an icy voice came from the back of the crowd.
“What happened?” Nicholas made his way through the crowd before walking over and stopping beside Tessa. He stood tall and proud as he shot Susan a dangerous glare. He had only been gone for a while—he hadn’t expected someone to mess with his wife within such a short period of time.
Tessa didn’t hold back from telling him the gist of what had happened. Upon hearing her words, Nicholas’ expression hardened as he shouted for his bodyguards. “I want you guys to kick her out,” he ordered. The bodyguards nodded before they grabbed Susan’s arms and dragged her out. “What are you guys doing?! Let go of me!” Susan thrashed her limbs but to no avail. Soon enough, the strong and muscular bodyguards brought her out of the event hall.
The other bosses in the hall didn’t question Nicholas’ orders even after they saw what had happened. In fact, they secretly held some judgments against Susan. She’s way too manipulative for someone her age. I guess it explains why she’s not popular at all, they thought.
In the meantime, Susan stumbled and fell onto the ground after the bodyguards threw her out of the building. She was boiling with rage, but her cheeks also felt hot with embarrassment as there were a number of passersby who were casting looks at her. “I’m not going to let this go so easily, Tessa!” Susan fixed her deadly glare on the front door of the hotel as she swore to herself, I’m going to make Tessa pay for this! I’m going to make her suffer! I want to crush that b*tch’s hands so that she’ll never be able to play the violin again.
Tessa didn’t let herself feel bothered by the minor disruption that Susan caused at the party. The rest of the celebration went smoothly, and the guests forgot all about what happened with Susan. In consideration of Tessa’s health, the party didn’t last for too long, and they wrapped things up around 10.00PM. Sofia led Tessa’s seniors around the hall to send the guests off, and they were the last few people left in the hall after that.
They went over to bid goodbye to Tessa. “The rest of the guests have left, so we’ll make a move now,” Sofia uttered. Tessa was extremely grateful for their help, and she personally walked them to the exit of the hotel. After everyone left, Tessa headed home with Nicholas. By then, Stefania, Tobias, and Timothy had already brought Gregory home.
Nicholas gazed at Tessa worriedly after they got home. “Are you tired?” he asked.
“A little.” Tessa didn’t bother to put on a strong front—instead, she gave the man a puppy-eyed look. Her belly was too large for her to stand around at the party for such long hours, and her back had been aching since a while ago.
Nicholas felt his heart aching when he saw the look on the woman’s face. Timothy, who happened to walk past them, overheard what Tessa said. “You should get some rest since you’re tired,” he urged.
Both Stefania and Tobias nodded in agreement before they urged Nicholas to bring Tessa upstairs to get some rest. After heading upstairs, Tessa cleaned herself up and fell asleep soon after she got into bed. Nicholas gave his wife a loving kiss on the forehead before he tiptoed his way out of the room.
Before this, the housekeeper had passed him a message telling him that his parents wanted to have a talk with him. When Nicholas got down, he saw that Timothy had returned to his room, probably because he didn’t want to get himself involved. Stefania, Tobias, and Gregory were the only three in the living hall. Nicholas walked over to sit on the couch opposite his parents. “What is it?” he asked.
“Your mom and I are planning to head back to the country tomorrow.” Tobias got straight to the point. “We wanted you to come down for a talk because we wanted to remind you of a few things. After we leave, you’ll have to take good care of Tessa. You need to make sure that she doesn’t overexert herself,” Tobias uttered.
“I know. Don’t worry about us.” To Nicholas’ surprise, Stefania began lecturing him right after he finished his sentence. “How do you expect us to feel assured when you’re so compliant toward your wife? I don’t want to hear your empty promises—I want to see you take action!”
She shot him a stern glare as she continued grumbling. “Even though it’s good for her to achieve her dreams, she still has to prioritize her health. Even a regular person would feel exhausted with the amount of strain that she’s putting on herself, let alone a pregnant woman like her! You can’t let her have things her way anymore.”
