Chapter 767 Accident or Human-Induced
Hathaway was furious after finding out what happened in the concert hall, and she called the crew chief over to reprimand him. “Is this how you guys do your job? Why didn’t you check properly before you guys left?! I even reminded you guys about this!”
“I swear we checked these lights many times, and we made sure they were all secure.” The crew chief tried to defend himself, aggrieved from being wrongly accused.
However, Hathaway didn’t believe him at all. “How can something like this happen if you guys did a thorough check?”
The poor crew chief was rendered at a loss for words.
On the other hand, Hathaway grew angrier by the second from his silence.
She was beyond relieved that Nicholas had shown up in the nick of time and saved Tessa, or they would’ve had to deal with the death of a pregnant woman if the spotlight landed on her.
Just thinking of it made Hathaway fearful, and for that, she wanted the crew chief to give her a justifiable explanation. She thought the stagehands of this concert hall were really irresponsible, and it worried her that a similar incident would happen during the performance.
Shortly after, the managing director rushed over after getting the news. “Miss Hathaway, please allow me to apologize on behalf of our crew for our remiss.”
He humbled himself as soon as he came, repeatedly apologizing to Hathaway.
As the saying ‘Punish no man who sincerely asked for forgiveness’ went, it would indeed be inappropriate for Hathaway to continue snapping at the managing director.
With that, she questioned coldly, “How do you guys plan on settling this?”
“Rest assured, the staff responsible for this will be punished accordingly.”
However, Hathaway was still displeased with it, and the managing director sensed it as well, proposing even more compensation.
Meanwhile, Kathleen was livid as she stood amongst her fellow orchestra members. Why did Sawyer have to appear and save that b*tch at the very last minute?!
“Why is that b*tch so lucky?!”
“What did you say, Kathleen?” Someone heard her mutter, but they couldn’t quite make out her words.
At that, Kathleen instantly tucked away her aggravation and said plainly, “It’s nothing. I just think that Tessa’s quite unlucky.”
The person nodded in agreement as they thought back to what had just happened. “Yeah, Tessa is quite unlucky.”
Meanwhile, Hathway and the managing director came to an agreement.
Simply put, the staff would be taking the blame that wasn’t theirs, and the managing director would compensate generously.
Kathleen smirked upon hearing the result.
Though she failed to inflict an accident on Tessa, the incident still ended on a good note.
As long as that b*tch was still around, she would have the opportunity to devise more plans.
Either way, she would make sure Tessa’s life was ruined!
However, while Kathleen was still immersed in joy, Frebriker’s surprised voice came out of the blue. “Miss Hathaway, someone seemed to have cut the wire. The tear here is clean.”
He had gone to check the damaged spotlight, for he couldn’t shake off this inexplicably nagging feeling that it wasn’t an accident.
Shocked by his words, the crowd went over to him to verify it themselves, and sure enough, the cut where the wire snapped was clean.
“Sh*t, it really was cut. This isn’t an accident—someone actually did this!”
“Wait, if this is human-induced, doesn’t it mean that the person targeted Tessa from the very beginning?!”
“Damn, what kind of human can be this wicked!?”
Many exclaimed in horror, and Hathaway turned grim upon hearing their words.
On the other hand, Kathleen, who was composed a minute ago, began panicking as she stood amongst the crowd.
She glared at Frebriker in secret, cursing him for being a busybody.
However, she calmed down in seconds, for she believed they couldn’t find evidence that pointed toward the culprit even if they discovered the incident was caused by a human.
Likewise, no one noticed her abnormality as everyone was guessing who would want to harm Tessa like this.
However, as many believed this incident was aimed at Tessa, some thought otherwise.
