Chapter 805 Morals and Emotions
‘Open-minded? Magnanimous? I think she’s a failure as a mother!’
‘Ever since Tessa appeared, Hathaway has been siding with her all the time. She even hit Kathleen because of this woman.’
‘It was overboard of her to strike Kathleen. Does she even know who her real daughter is?’
With Kathleen’s fans spreading such malicious comments, her reputation still got affected despite the majority believing that Hathaway was not in the wrong.
Also, the incident spread like wildfire online as Hathaway’s assistant sent the forum over to her upon seeing it.
Sitting in the quiet office all alone, Hathaway sifted through the comments with trembling hands.
‘As Kathleen’s mother, not only did she not rack her brains on how to save her daughter, she’s still trying to make Tessa famous. What a mother she is.’
‘I would find it hard to accept if I had such a biased mother.’
‘In the end, Kathleen only committed all these wrongdoings because she had such an unreliable mother.’
Reading the comments, Hathaway could not stop the tears falling.
How could these people say these things about me?
As my only daughter, Kathleen is suffering now, so how can I not feel pain inside?
Besides, Tessa only achieved what she had today with her own abilities and hardwork; Hathaway barely contributed to her success.
Facing this situation, Hathaway was at a loss as to what to do, for she felt very pained inside.
In actuality, she did think about giving Tessa the cold shoulder, but Kathleen was the one that was in the wrong.
If she had continued to side with her daughter, this would be unfair to Tessa.
With these thoughts in mind, Hathaway suddenly had a sense of fatigue washed all over her like one she had never felt before in her life.
Should I just… sell the orchestra off?
On the other hand, Tessa did not know any of this as she was busy with practice everyday.
The day had finally arrived where she promised the magazines for the interviews.
Seeing the journalists, Mona happily went up to Tessa and stated, “After your interviews today, your fame will only spread further. Please look after me from now on!”
“Don’t worry, Here, I will let you hold onto my leg for reassurance.” Tessa then jokingly extended her leg.
A short while after, a staff member from the magazine came in. “Miss Reinhart, can we take a photo of you?”
“Sure.” Tessa nodded and went to the side to let the photographer do their job.
Surprisingly, Mona was also interviewed by them.
“Hello. I saw that you and Miss Reinhart were chatting quite happily. Are you two close friends?”
“We are.”
“Then, would you be so kind as to tell us how Miss Reinhart is in the orchestra?”
“Happy to oblige. Normally, Tessa practises very vigorously, so she could perform better on stage. Besides, she even plays in a restaurant to further polish her techniques.”
Mona proceeded to state words of praise and admiration. “Honestly, I feel like getting to know Tessa was the best thing I’ve ever done. Not only does she keep striving to new heights, she even helps me too. You could say that my playing improved because of her.”
Besides Mona, the magazine also interviewed other members of Group Two, who all praised Tessa unanimously.
Even though Group One was very jealous that the other group was having such a good time, they did not slander Tessa on purpose. This was because they knew once they did that, they would be defaming the group’s image and Hathaway would not let them off the hook once that happened.
Throughout the whole day, the magazines followed Tessa everywhere.
Not only did they record her practice, they even wanted her to bring them to the restaurant she normally played in.
To this, Tessa did not agree to it on the spot.
