Chapter 774 Rorion, the Ex-husband
Hathaway ended the call gratefully.
…
Scott took the first flight to Yvetlava the next day and heard about what Kathleen did as soon as he arrived at the hotel. For a moment, he wasn’t sure what to say about it.
Meanwhile, an unexpected guest came to Hathaway’s room.
“What are you doing here?” Hathaway looked at the man behind the door, who was clearly not welcomed.
He was a typical Viennese man who looked to be around forty years old, and his suit made him look gentlemanly. In fact, he was Kathleen’s father and Hathaway’s ex-husband, Rorion.
“What do you think I’m doing here? I left Kathleen in your hands, but you just sat back and let the police take her away! What kind of mother does that?!” Rorion, who was frothing at his mouth, shoved Hathaway into the room, causing her to stumble a couple of steps before she managed to stable herself.
“Since you’ve heard about this, then you should know Kathleen brought it upon herself.” She looked expressionlessly at the man in her room. “You’re not welcomed here. Get out.”
“Do you think I’d have come to find you if it weren’t for Kathleen? You want me to leave? Fine. Tell your student to release Kathleen.”
“Impossible!” Hathaway refused without a second thought.
She wasn’t shameless enough to beg Tessa to forgive Kathleen when her daughter had done Tessa so much harm.
“Looks like Kathleen wasn’t wrong when she said you think nothing of her as your daughter anymore.” Rorion snorted disdainfully and snapped, “I haven’t come here to discuss. Instead, I’m ordering you to bail Kathleen this instance.”
“Kathleen should be punished for the damage she has done.” Hathaway wasn’t yielding. “I won’t ask Tessa to forgive Kathleen.”
“Hathaway!” Rorion was beside himself with rage at this point, and very quickly, the situation escalated into a heated argument.
Tessa, on the other hand, had no idea that had happened while she was caring for Nicholas in the hospital, where she continued to stay for another two days since Kathleen was taken away.
Nicholas recovered quite well, and his body showed no adverse reactions. Hence, they were given the green light to leave the following day.
Finally, Tessa could return to rehearsals with an eased mind.
“Morning, Miss Hathaway,” she greeted with a smile when she saw Hathaway coming in her direction. Subsequently, she noticed that Hathaway’s face seemed to be injured. “Miss Hathaway, your face…” she asked with surprise.
“I’m fine. How’s your husband?” Hathaway changed the topic, not wanting to talk about her injury.
“He has already been discharged and is now resting at home.”
“That’s good to hear. I’ll let you get to your rehearsal.” With that, Hathaway left.
Just as Tessa was about to walk away, Mona popped out from the side. “Tessa, you’re back.”
“Mona, do you know anything about the injury on Miss Hathaway’s face?” asked Tessa after a nod when she thought about Hathaway’s injury.
Mona leaned close to Tessa and whispered what had happened in the orchestra for the past two days. “Her ex-husband belabored her. I heard it’s because Kathleen was taken away.”
Tessa frowned in response, but before she could say anything, Mona warned, “You’d better be careful wherever you go lately. You don’t want to mess with Miss Hathway’s ex-husband. I won’t be surprised if he gives you any trouble because of Kathleen.”
Tessa turned grim upon hearing Mona’s words. What kind of man hits a woman? Also, Kathleen has herself to blame for her current situation!
“Is Miss Hathaway not going to call the police on him?”
“This is considered a domestic dispute, so the police can’t do much about it either.” Knowing what Tessa was worried about, Mona reassured her by saying, “Don’t worry, I’m sure Miss Hathaway knows what to do, and you shouldn’t put too much thought into this either. Either way, this has nothing to do with you. Our focus now is on the rehearsal.”
Tessa thought Mona was right, so she put all the distracting thoughts aside and focused on rehearsing with her teammates.
