Chapter 969 It’s All in the Past
Since the class had yet to start, many people began to ask Susan about what had happened today. ”How is Miss Sofia going to punish the culprit?”
”Tessa is doing so well. Why didn’t Miss Sofia arrange for her to perform?”
”I didn’t expect that Tessa would be able to compose music in such a short time. She’s really amazing.”
When Susan heard the name ‘Tessa’ in almost every sentence, she felt anger bubbling in her veins, and she could barely reign in her temper.
Thankfully, she managed to keep in mind that this was the worst possible time to cause a scene and calmly said, ”I’m not sure of Miss Sofia’s decisions. Maybe she thinks Miss Tessa isn’t competent enough to perform yet.”
”My God, that is considered incompetent? Miss Sofia’s standards are really high.”
”Yeah, they are,” Susan agreed and immediately changed the subject.
She did not want to discuss Tessa any longer, fearing that she might not be able to suppress her rage if they kept going.
Lady Fortune was smiling on her that day as it didn’t take long for Hathaway to show up.
Hathaway smiled kindly when she saw Susan and greeted her, ”You’re here.”
Susan’s eyes flickered as she nodded obediently.
Then, the class started without further ado.
Initially, Susan had only planned to go through the formalities and casually listen in. However, when she found out that what Hathaway taught was very helpful to her, she gradually began to focus on Hathaway’s lecture.
Two hours later, when the class was over, Hathaway called for Susan to stay behind.
The other participants cast envious glances at Susan when they heard this.
Susan pretended not to see it and followed Hathaway to the office.
Once Susan sat down, Hathaway asked with concern, ”Is there anything that you didn’t understand during class just now?”
”No, you’re a wonderful teacher, and you have explained the material very well, so I understood everything,” Susan replied obediently.
Hathaway nodded and praised her sincerely, ”You’re very talented. As long as you put in the necessary hard work, you’d definitely be able to achieve great things in the future.”
Even though Hathaway was genuine in her praise, Susan felt that she was just being hypocritical.
Thus, although Susan felt derisive by Hathaway’s words, she still wore her good student mask well as she replied, ”I understand. I will continue to work hard.”
Hathaway was satisfied to hear this and immediately switched the topic. ”I saw everything that happened to your orchestra on the Internet today. It caused a huge uproar. That Vernon guy is a rather difficult character, isn’t he? And Tessa… Did this impact her in any way?”
Susan was momentarily taken aback by Hathaway’s concern. When she heard those words, she was so outraged that her ironclad control over her emotions nearly slipped.
Why?! Why is it that at this time, this woman still cares about that b*tch, Tessa Reinhart?!
Susan gritted her teeth and clenched her fists tightly, fingernails digging into her palms. The stinging pain kept her sanity in check, lest it was overwhelmed by the boiling rage she currently felt.
”Isn’t she the one that killed your daughter? Yet, you are still so worried about her. You’re really kind.”
”She was my student, after all.”
Hathaway did not hear the mockery and doubt in Susan’s words, and asked again, Is Tessa alright? What is your orchestra going to do about this matter?”
”I have no idea how the orchestra will deal with this. As for Tessa, not only did nothing happen to her, but she has gotten more famous. How nice of you to keep her in mind. I think she may have forgotten about you.”
Although Susan tried to suppress her hostility, her tone was still a little sharp.
Hathaway picked up on this and mistakenly assumed that Susan was trying to stand up for her. So, she shook her head and said with a tinge of wistfulness, ”That’s all in the past…”
Back home, Susan finally let the anger she had suppressed for hours erupt.
”Even if you have forgiven her, I haven’t!”
She was hysterical as she gritted her teeth. Her face was gloomy and terrifying.
Rorion heard the commotion in the room and went over.
”Darling, who made you angry? Tell Daddy, and I’ll teach them a lesson!”
When he saw his daughter’s wrathful expression, he immediately stepped in to coax her.
”Who else other than my beloved mother?!” She yelled. ”I really don’t understand. She has no relations with Tessa anymore, yet she still cares about that b*tch, saying everything was in the past! I think she might have forgotten her own daughter!”
After he listened to his daughter’s angry rant, he also felt dissatisfied with Hathaway’s attitude.
What does she mean that it’s all in the past?
