Tessa gave the hotel manager a brief explanation of the reason she was there, and the manager
instantly got his staff to show her the CCTV footage after he realized the potential severity of the matter.
When they went through the videos, they realized that Kathleen hadn’t left the room after she returned to
the hotel the night before.
There was somewhat an uneasy look on Tessa’s face as she thanked the staff and headed over to
Kathleen’s room. Knock knock. “I know you’re in there, Kathleen. Open the door,” Tessa uttered while
knocking loudly.
There was no response from the person inside the room, but Tessa continued to knock anyway. Finally,
after some persistent knocking, Kathleen opened the room door.
She stood behind the door with a sour look on her face. “What’s wrong with you? Why are you knocking
on my door early in the morning? Why won’t you let me sleep?!” she shouted at Tessa.
Her actions made Tessa feel annoyed, so Tessa pulled her phone out to point at the time. “It’s already
10.00 AM, and the whole orchestra is waiting for you to rehearse. So, how could you still be sleeping?!”

Stop disturbing my sleep.” Kathleen rolled her eyes as she tried to shut the door.
Tessa hastily stuck an arm out to stop the woman and frowned in disapproval as she commented on
Kathleen’s inappropriate and lazy attitude, “Everyone’s training for the performance right now, so why are
you the only one who doesn’t have to train?”
“Are you lecturing me now?” Kathleen narrowed her eyes to give Tessa a nasty stare.
Tessa was speechless for a moment. “I’m not lecturing you. I just think that your idle manner of working
is extremely irresponsible toward the performance,” she explained.
“Are you saying that I’m irresponsible?” Kathleen let out a mocking laugh as if she had just heard a huge
joke. Then, she slowly lifted her chin while speaking in a disdainful tone, “Do you think you have the right
to tell me what to do just because you’re my mother’s protégé? Well, you’re nothing to me, so you have
no right to speak to me like that!”
Tessa was infuriated by the other woman’s words. After all, her intention was just to provide Kathleen
with some words of advice—she hadn’t expected to be attacked personally.
However, before she could say anything, Kathleen spoke up again. “What is it? Are you angry?”
Kathleen stared into Tessa’s eyes with a scornful look in her gaze. “You’ll have to hold it in even if you’re
angry. You only have the right to teach me a lesson when you’re in my position.”
Of course, Tessa’s expression darkened after that.
Kathleen didn’t seem to care—she simply turned around and shut the door with a loud bang! Tessa was
fuming as the door slammed in her face, yet she had no other choice than to leave and return to the
Silverscape Theater.
Back in the theater, Hathaway was the first to come over and check on Tessa. “Did you find Kathleen,
Tessa?”
“I did. She’s sleeping in her room, and she said she isn’t coming for practice,” Tessa replied. She stated
Kathleen’s wishes in a transparent manner, but she didn’t bring up anything about the argument they
had.
Hathaway was already furious just listening to Tessa’s explanation. “Kathleen is getting too much! Does
she think she’s that great? How dare she not come for practice!” she cried.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMeanwhile, Tessa stood by her side, where she quietly waited for her teacher to release all her anger.
Although Hathaway was furious at first, she managed to calm her temper down after a while.
Unfortunately, they didn’t have much time until the actual performance, so she wanted to use her
precious time to train the other members. In addition, Hathaway wanted to make sure that the show was
flawless.
So, even though there was a missing violin among them, the rest of the orchestra members continued
playing their parts. The song sounded almost the same, although they were missing a violinist. Tessa
didn’t have much to do, so she sat beside Hathaway and watched as the members practiced.
When she saw the empty spot where the violinist was supposed to be, a wild idea began to form in her
mind. “Can I stand in Kathleen’s position to practice with everyone?” Tessa asked. She had finally
decided to share her true intentions.
Hathaway frowned as she misunderstood Tessa’s intentions—she thought that Tessa was desperate to
be on stage. “You may have shown great improvement in your bowing techniques and musicality, but you
will have to practice a lot more before you can take Kathleen’s place.”
