Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 217

Chapter 217 

Stefania was very familiar with the principle of spending money to mitigate disaster. Besides, it was only a few million dollars. That amount was nothing to her. She did not lack this trivial amount of money, so she might as well just hand over the money and be done with it.

However, Tessa acted very stern and righteous when refusing my money previously. Now that she is short of money and regrets her previous actions, it means that she wants something from me. Hence, I don’t need to persuade her to stay away from Greg like before. Therefore, she got straight to the point. “Miss Reinhart, have you changed your mind? How much do you want? Just name your price.”

Tessa’s expression was already cold in the first place. After listening to Stefania humiliating her in that manner, her expression practically turned to ice. “I am not here for money. There’s something I wanted to ask you, Mrs: Sawyer.” She emphasized each word carefully. “Mrs. Sawyer, you have already made me lose my tutoring job. Is that not enough? Why are you banning me from the entire orchestra industry? Don’t you think your actions are too much!?”

Being accused out of nowhere left Stefania feeling dumbfounded. “What nonsense are you talking about? Why would I ban you from anything?”

Seeing that Stefania refused to admit to her crime, Tessa spoke through gritted teeth. “Are you unaware? Fine. I’ll tell you what’s going on. After the Heavenly Chorus Orchestra was acquired by the Sawyer Group, I was fired without another word. I tried to interview at other orchestras, but none of the orchestras would hire me because they know that I’ve offended you. Mrs. Sawyer, let me ask you this: Are you planning to exterminate me completely? Don’t you think that doing this is like children playing house? Aren’t you being immature!?”

After listening to Tessa’s explanation, Stefania immediately understood the situation. She involuntarily scowled and answered bluntly, “I don’t know what you are trying to accuse me of. This matter has nothing to do with me.”

Even at this point, she refuses to admit to what she has done. Tessa’s voice suddenly turned frosty. “It’s meaningless for you to play dumb at this point. I have inquired about this matter. Everybody says that it was a directive issued by the Sawyer Group. President Sawyer has no need to do something like this. Aside from you, I have never offended anybody else; I can’t think of anybody else who would target me like this.”

Stefania was a little stunned. It was the truth that she was not behind this incident. Since Tessa had already resigned, there was no reason for her to target Tessa again.

Ever since returning from Tessa’s home, Gregory had been in a very good mood. Not only did Miss Tessa treat me no differently from before during our last few meetings, but she even invited me to stay overnight at her home twice! The feeling of seeing her the moment I wake up is the best!

Furthermore, the doctor mentioned that Tessa’s shoulder was recovering well. Gregory was already dreaming of the day when Tessa was fully recovered. She will soon be able to return and teach me the violin.

However, he did not receive any news of her return despite waiting for a long time. Feeling very anxious, he wanted to visit her immediately, so he mustered his courage and said to Nicholas, “Daddy, can I visit Miss Tessa? Daddy, I miss her. Besides, the doctor says that she has almost fully recovered. I want to bring her back and ask her to stay with us so that she can continue to teach me the violin.” He looked at Nicholas expectantly.
