Chapter 1014 Susan’s True Colors
Susan never thought Kellen and others would zoom in on the footage. All at once, she stopped acting like a good girl as she previously had. She retorted with a sneer, “Yeah, I did it. So what? It’s not like I’ve hurt Tessa or anything; all I did was make her stay home for a couple of days over an allergic reaction.
But what about me? My arm is broken, but you two are blaming me before I could even question you guys about the stage incident! Shouldn’t my case be given priority in terms of how serious it is? And now what? Are you going to shield the culprit behind the scenes instead?”
Sofia was irked by her unapologetic reply. Instantly, she pointed at the latter and chastised angrily, “I think you’re confusing right with wrong here. It was you who maliciously set Tessa up, and besides, I now suspect you’re the one to blame for what happened on stage! You could drug Tessa, after all; is there anything you can’t do?”
The instant Kellen heard this, his face darkened immediately. Eyeing Susan with hostility, he questioned, “Are you the one who caused the stage incident?”
“Would I be so stupid as to shoot myself in the foot?” Seeing that they were going to pin the blame on her, Susan instantly got cross. “It was me who made Tessa suffer from an allergic reaction, but it wasn’t me who caused the stage incident. What makes you say without proof that I’m the one who did it?” Now that they had a complete falling-out, she no longer had to pretend to be nice.
Sofia was enraged by Susan’s cocky manners. Now she had to admit that she was wrong about this young lady.
Also feeling the same way was Kellen, who wasn’t any less angry than Sofia inwardly. After all, it was him who had pushed for Susan’s appointment as concertmaster back then.
At this moment, Sofia said with a snort, “Now you’re asking for proof, eh? Since learning that you’d set Tessa up, I’ve asked my assistant to get the person who operated the stage at the time, only to find out that the man has vanished into thin air. Isn’t this clear enough proof of it?”
Susan stood up to her fearlessly. “This alone can’t prove that I had something to do with this, no? Not to mention that the man is now missing!”
Sofia’s chest heaved up and down continuously in anger. “Fine!” she uttered between clenched teeth, “Since you’re asking for proof, I’ll grant your wish! I believe the operator will be found very soon, and I’ll see what excuses you’re gonna make by then!”
“Okay, let’s come face-to-face when you find the operator. I’d really like to see how dramatic the truth will be!” Susan replied with a sneer, knowing that the stage incident was Eunice’s doing. When the truth comes to light, I’ll see how this old hag can still speak so confidently to me upon knowing that it was her favorite apprentice who did it! The thought of such a scene filled her with anticipation. At this very moment, she suddenly hoped that Sofia would find the witness soon.
Just as she looked forward to it, she didn’t realize that her whole conversation with the two had been overheard by Eunice, who was standing outside the door. The latter had wanted to ask Kellen how the investigation into the incident was going, only to hear that he had gone to the hospital with Sofia. Instinctively, she sensed that something was wrong, so she followed them here. After all, Sofia didn’t have to be present for the purpose of consoling Susan.
At this moment, she was very glad that she’d followed them here, or else she wouldn’t have heard such a shocking piece of information. “I was worried that I’d be exposed. Who would’ve thought that Susan, that silly woman, would also lay a hand on Tessa?” she muttered to herself while casting her eyes downward. At the same time, she was a bit angry with Susan. If it weren’t for the latter’s meddling, it would’ve been Tessa who had fallen off the stage and might’ve been killed as a result.
On second thought, however, her anger subsided a little. At least this woman can take the blame for me now, she thought to herself while narrowing her eyes slightly. After pondering for a moment, she turned and disappeared from the hallway.
Some time later, Sofia and Kellen came out of the hospital with grim expressions.
Seeing Sofia’s gloomy face, Kellen became somewhat worried for her health. He advised her, saying, “Please cool down, ma’am. It’s not worth it to be angry with such a person. I won’t let her off easily once the operator is found.”
