Chapter 790 Uproar
Without waiting for Hathaway to finish her sentence, Nicholas interrupted coldly. “I know why you called me here, but this time, Kathleen had crossed the line. I simply cannot let her off the hook, and I hope you can be more reasonable about this.”
Hearing the man’s rejection, Hathaway felt upset despite having anticipated his final decision. If she were in his shoes and someone attacked her family, she wouldn’t be able to forgive them either.
“I’m sorry for taking up your time, Mr. Sawyer.”
“It’s okay.” With that, Nicholas got up and left Hathaway alone in the private room.
At that moment, Hathaway’s shoulders fell. Moreover, she was even more worried that Group One couldn’t function without Kathleen. If Kathleen had gone missing for too long, she feared that people might catch on.
In reality, her worries had turned into reality in the blink of an eye. In this performance, Tessa shone brilliantly in Group Two, but Group One’s Kathleen was missing in action. Some of the more sensitive noses in the media could smell that something fishy was going on.
After all, save for the accident last time, Kathleen had never once been absent from Group One’s shows. Because of this, many people in the media began carrying out investigations on this matter.
‘Breaking news!! Kathleen, the renowned violinist in Hathaway Philharmonic, is suspected of attempted murder!’
As soon as news of this got out, it threw the entire internet into chaos as the netizens were in an uproar.
‘Is this really the Kathleen I know? That’s too terrifying!’
‘I never knew she had such an evil side to her.’
‘She’s an artist, but she caused harm out of jealousy. I’m disappointed.’
Because of this terrible news, Kathleen’s professional career was definitely ruined. However, a number of Kathleen’s fans refused to believe that their idol would do something like that. They felt that someone was pulling tricks in order to defame their idol.
These people went to the official website of Hathaway Philharmonic and began raising their voices in protest for Kathleen’s sake.
‘Miss Hathaway, Kathleen would never do something so cruel. This must be part of a scheme.’
‘Yes, this must be a scheme. Someone is trying to ruin Kathleen’s reputation. Miss Hathaway, you have to investigate this carefully. You cannot let Kathleen be falsely accused for this; she’s even your daughter!’
‘I think this must be the work of that woman, Tessa. She’s quite new to this orchestra, but now she’s already the lead violinist of Group Two. She must have pulled some tricks to advance this quickly!’
‘I agree with you. Miss Hathaway, conduct an investigation on Tessa right away so that Kathleen’s name can be cleared.’
Hathaway quickly knew about the incident on the official website from her assistant. She was silent for a while, then said calmly, “Don’t bother about this matter. They’ll stop after a few days.”
No matter how she responded to this situation, it would put Kathleen at a disadvantage. So, she decided to ignore it in order to lessen the damage. In truth, the fans’ protests didn’t make any dramatic waves. After all, there were also some reasonable fans who posted their analysis under the news articles.
‘Hathaway Philharmonic never gave any response since the day this news came out. I think they’re admitting to it.’
‘Agreed. No matter what, Kathleen is Miss Hathaway’s daughter. If Kathleen is really falsely accused, her mother, the director, wouldn’t be able to stand Tessa’s existence, so this leads to only one truth.’
‘The news is real!’
Seeing those comments, the protesting fans quieted down. Indeed, Hathaway Philharmonic never gave any response, so Kathleen was obviously in the wrong. Tessa also knew about the events going on online, but she didn’t pay it much heed.
She and Nicholas were still staying in Yvetlava. Nicholas’ wounds hadn’t recovered completely, so they weren’t in a hurry to leave.
Tessa was also quite helpless in this matter. That evening, as she reapplied the ointment for Nicholas, she couldn’t help but nag, “You got hurt here last time, and it’s the same spot this time. Why can’t you just sit still…”
