Chapter 759 I Have a Problem With Her
However, before Hathaway could say anything, Scott spoke up. “Did you come across Tessa by any chance?”
Kathleen panicked, and her heart skipped a beat upon hearing his words.
Just then, Nicholas approached the group. He had come to pick Tessa up, but she was nowhere to be found.
“Miss Hathaway, did you manage to find my wife?”
“A moment, please, Mr. Sawyer. Let me ask my daughter.” While speaking, Hathaway shifted her gaze back onto Kathleen, asking, “Did you see Tessa?”
“I didn’t,” lied Kathleen with an evasive gaze, beyond panicked deep down.
Though she concealed it well, Nicholas still noticed her abnormality, and he narrowed his eyes at the woman, his gaze enigmatic.
At that, he pulled his phone out and called Tessa, giving up on searching.
“Nicholas…” Tessa’s groan came from the other end of the line, causing Nicholas to panic. “What’s wrong?”
Tessa didn’t hide the fact that she had slipped and fallen in the washroom. “I can’t come out at the moment. Can you ask Miss Hathaway to come and help me out?”
“Got it. I’ll be right over.” Nicholas ended the call at that, looking beyond grim.
Sensing something was amiss, Hathaway immediately went up to Nicholas and asked, “Is Tessa alright?”
“She fell in the washroom.” After saying so, Nicholas strode to the washroom.
Horrified by the news, Hathaway and Scott hurriedly followed after Nicholas.
Once they arrived, Hathaway hurriedly went in and came out with Tessa leaning against her for support in no time.
“How did this happen?” Nicholas hurriedly went up to his beloved as soon as he saw her ghastly countenance.
“I accidentally slipped and fell, and my elbow hurts a little,” Tessa answered briefly, striking fear in Nicholas. “I’ll take you to the hospital now.”
While speaking, he picked her up and strode away.
Meanwhile, Hathaway locked her brows into a deep furrow as she watched the couple leave.
Kathleen seemed to have come out from the washroom earlier, and she didn’t look right when we asked her Tessa’s whereabouts.
Instantly, an unpleasant assumption came to her.
Does Tessa’s accident have something to do with Kathleen?
Hathaway thought it was very likely the more she thought about it. After all, her daughter had a history.
At that, her countenance turned beyond awful.
Likewise, Scott was super apprehensive about Tessa’s condition, but he couldn’t leave the party now. Just like that, the two returned to the banquet hall preoccupied.
Hathaway went straight to Kathleen and questioned her after taking her to a secluded corner. “Is Tessa’s accident your doing?”
Kathleen instantly turned forbidding when she realized her mother had brought her here because of the b*tch. “So what if I did?” Kathleen snapped in spite.
Lo and behold, she got a slap from Hathaway as soon as she finished her words.
“Why do I have a wicked daughter like you?! Don’t you know that Tessa’s pregnant?!” Hathaway berated Kathleen. “You best pray that Tessa and the child in her belly are fine, or I won’t harbor you this time no matter what!”
Kathleen was so stupefied by her mother’s slap that she didn’t even hear a word Hathaway said, only having the slap on loop in her mind.
She looked at her mother with incredulity as she held her swollen cheek, raging, “I can’t believe you slapped me again because of that b*tch! Am I your daughter, or is she?!”
“It’s exactly because you’re my daughter that I slapped you!” Hathaway looked disappointedly at her daughter. “I don’t understand what I have done wrong for you to become like this. Tessa’s already married and is even expecting. Why do you still want to give her a hard time?”
“It’s because I have a problem with her, that’s why!” Kathleen wasn’t holding back anymore when things had already come to this, blowing off steam however it pleased her. “I’ve said it before—I won’t leave her alone as long as she remains in the orchestra!”
