Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 1015

Chapter 1015 Never Underestimate Women’s Jealousy

When Sofia heard this, her expression finally softened somewhat. After getting into the car, she instructed in a grave voice, “Let’s go to Tessa’s place first. Now that things have turned out in such a way, we’ve got to tell her about it and send more people to look for the stage operator.”

Kellen nodded. Then, he started the car and drove straight to Tessa’s place. In the luxurious living room, Tessa looked as black as thunder when she learned of the purpose of the two’s visit. Nicholas, in particular, had his good-looking features screwed up in a surly expression; he emanated a frosty vibe that would freeze one to the marrow.

Sofia and Kellen were both frightened, as they’d never seen him looking so menacing before. On the other hand, Tessa knitted her brows in bewilderment. “Why would Susan plot against me like this? Well, I did have a vague feeling that she seemed to be holding a grudge against me, but I don’t think there’s a reason for her to have such a vendetta against me. Why would she set me up like this?”

Taking her by the hand, Nicholas reminded her, saying, “Don’t underestimate any woman’s hostility. As long as they hate someone, they can do anything.”

Tessa thought his words made sense. A woman’s jealousy can never be underestimated. The next instant, her face hardened at the thought of what had happened on stage. “Miss Sofia, may I ask if she’s also the one behind what happened to the stage elevator?” At first, it didn’t occur to her that what had happened on stage was aimed at her. She had thought that someone was targeting the orchestra, but when she found out later that Nicholas was looking into the incident, she finally realized that the incident was more complicated than it seemed. Therefore, she took it very seriously. After all, someone was trying to harm her baby!

After listening to her words, Sofia shook her head and replied, “That’s not clear at the moment because the stage operator has gone missing. Still, she’s a strong suspect. Only she has a motive for doing this.”

Tessa’s face darkened.

Upon seeing this, Sofia promised, “Don’t worry about this. I’ll get to the bottom of this and give you an explanation.”

Tessa nodded.

…

Susan gaped incredulously at the man who pointed at her. “That’s pure slander! I’ve never approached you!” Realizing what had happened, she nearly jumped out of bed in anger, glaring at the man with venomous eyes as if wanting to eat him alive. “I’m warning you—committing slander will also get you a jail sentence!”

The man felt very guilty under her stare, but he gritted his teeth and brazened it out nonetheless. “I’m not lying. It’s you who made me do it.”

Susan trembled all over with rage. “How dare you!”

At this moment, Sofia spoke as well. “Now that we’ve got witness testimony, I’m leaving this to the police.”

“I object! This is a slander and a frame-up!” Susan was mad with anger. She protested, “What witness testimony are you talking about? I think you’re getting a random guy to make me a scapegoat in order to shield one of your own!” Most importantly, I mustn’t be taken to the police station, or my identity will certainly be exposed!
