Chapter 809 A Horrifying Revelation
“I know. I’ll be sure to stay obedient.”
Nodding, Gregory looked very adorable.
Just as the family of three was chatting along happily, Andrew knocked and came in the room.
“Master Nicholas, Miss Muller is here. She heard that the Young Master was sick and is here to visit him.”
Needless to say, Tessa also heard this. However, she believed in Nicholas, so she did not pry further.
After hearing Andrew’s words, Nicholas frowned as impatience could be seen from his gaze. “Alright.”
Saying that, he then looked at Tessa through the phone and said gently, “That’ll be it for today. Rest up earlier.”
“I know. You take care of yourself and Gregory.” Tessa then hung up.
Keeping his phone away, Nicholas told Gregory to rest before heading to the living room downstairs.
In the living room, Wanda was sitting formally on the couch, covered with the latest winter designer clothing from head to toe.
This look was a stark contrast with the career-driven individual she displayed yesterday at the event, which made her look very feminine. Her eyes then glimmered upon hearing footsteps behind her.
“Hi, Nicholas.” She turned around and smiled at the man walking toward her, for she was unable to hide the admiration for him in her gaze.
Nodding subtly, Nicholas had a very distant aura about him.
The response stiffened her smile.
Fortunately, she managed to put up a facade in time as she kept up her smile and asked, “I heard that Gregory fell sick. Is he ok?”
“You sure know a lot, Miss Muller.”
He glanced coldly at her as he spoke very sarcastically.
Hearing this, Wanda felt her heart skip a beat. However, she maintained her image and explained, “I think you’ve misunderstood me, Nicholas. I didn’t snoop around to know that. I heard it from Old Master Sawyer; that was why I decided to come visit Gregory.”
Peering at her, Nicholas did not believe one word of her statement. It was just that he did not bother to expose her.
Yet, Wanda knew nothing about what he was thinking.
Seeing that he had no intention of adding anything, she asked, “Is Gregory awake? Can I meet him?”
“He’s still asleep, so no.” Nicholas’ cold rejection left her disappointed.
In the end, she had no choice but to leave.
Exiting the main gate, she turned back to look at the villa with a hint of unrest inside.
She kept thinking that Nicholas was overly cold to her. Don’t tell me that he knows something is up?
…
In Vienna, Tessa practiced for a short while after the call before returning to her room to rest.
The next morning, she had a simple breakfast and went to the orchestra.
Arriving there, Tessa greeted everyone as usual.
“Good morning.”
“Morning,” the other members replied half-heartedly with weird looks.
Noticing this, Tessa looked down to check her clothing, thinking that there might be something wrong with her attire.
Yet, she looked everywhere and found nothing wrong with her outfit today.
Just as she was about to ask someone what was going on, Mona ran up to her. “Tessa, you’re finally here. It’s terrible.”
“What happened?” Tessa was befuddled.
Closing in, Mona whispered, “Kathleen is dead!”
“What?!” Horrified, Tessa looked at Mona in disbelief.
“It’s true. Also, Miss Hathaway was sent to the emergency ward today.”
Mona then explained in a hush, “I heard that Kathleen committed the unthinkable inside her jail cell. As for her body, it has been sent back to her homeland.”
After hearing Mona’s words, Tessa felt her heart sink as her face turned pale due to how sudden everything was.
Why would Kathleen… commit suicide?
Tessa pursed her lips and her emotions were in a flurry.
Sensing her mood, Mona tried to persuade her, “Don’t you overthink this. It’s not your fault…”
