Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 762

Chapter 762 Kathleen Is Being Evasive

“No match for you? Who do you think you are?” Kathleen sneered furiously with a malicious gaze.

However, Tessa wasn’t intimidated as she smirked. “If you’re not afraid that you’re no match for me, why are you coming up with so many petty tricks?”

A pang of guilt hit Kathleen upon hearing the accusation, but she still put up an innocent front and denied it. “What a joke. You think you’re worthy of my time and effort?”

“Am I not?” Tessa chewed on the words while fixing her gaze on the woman in denial and suddenly came to an idea.

Since Kathleen had decided to bring everything to light, she might as well settle their feud once and for all, saving her from having to worry about this woman framing her constantly.

“Since I’m not worth your time and effort, why did you deliberately break my violin and set me up repeatedly?”

Seeing that Kathleen’s face turned grim upon the confrontation, Tessa continued, “If not for Miss Hathaway, do you think I would’ve turned a blind eye to everything you’ve done? You should be thankful that you have a good mother!”

Kathleen flew into a rage out of humiliation as soon as she was exposed, glaring daggers at Tessa with her gaze ablaze. “You call that a good mother?! If she really has my best interests at heart, she should kick you out of the orchestra! I’m her daughter, me! However, she keeps defending a b*tch like you!”

“You think Miss Hathaway is defending me?” Tessa was rendered dumbstruck by Kathleen’s words.

“Who else if not you? Me?” Kathleen taunted maliciously. “Sometimes, I really wish you’d never existed!”

Tessa covertly stood on guard when she sensed Kathleen’s hostility, and at the same time, she thought she should just make some things clear with Kathleen when the woman had put it like that.

“First, Miss Hathaway might be defending me, but she’s also protecting you. I can press charges against you for any sole incident you’ve caused me, leaving you with a criminal record. Do you think you’d still have a future if you’re charged with framing a fellow musician?”

Tessa bore into Kathleen, hoping the woman would finally come to her senses and stop targeting her when she had already broken it down for her like this. “Second, does it not exhaust you to live like this? What’s the point of rivaling other people all the time? Is it not good enough for you to just be yourself?”

Lo and behold, she bumped into Scott and Hathaway as soon as she ran out, leaving Hathaway to reprimand her with a frown. “What are you doing, running around like that?” she asked.

Perhaps because of guilt or that Scott was next to her, Kathleen didn’t defend herself and simply said bashfully, “Nothing.”

Seeing so, Hathaway couldn’t help thinking her daughter was behaving evasively.
