Kathleen was afraid of her mother, so she didn’t say anything in the end. However, Hathaway wasn’t

about to let her off the hook yet. “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with Tessa’s eagerness to learn.

You, on the other hand, have been getting lazier and lazier. You even skipped half a day of practice. Do

you think you’re that great?” Kathleen pressed her lips shut without saying a word.

After their orchestra practice ended in the evening, all of them went for a meal together. As usual, Tessa

was the one who picked their dinner spot. The group chit-chatted with one another, and she was

laughing happily at a joke that one of the other members said. The happier Tessa was, the more

displeased someone else was. When Kathleen saw the bright smile on Tessa’s face, she felt especially

triggered. Then, Kathleen’s gaze darkened further as she glanced at the juice on Tessa’s table.

An idea popped up in her head at that moment. “Tessa,” Kathleen said as she got out of her seat. She

headed over to Tessa’s table with a glass of whiskey in her hand. When Tessa saw Kathleen, she knitted

her brows slightly. “Is anything the matter?” A few of the people around them also glanced over worriedly.

They were afraid that Kathleen would pick a fight with Tessa.

Kathleen pretended as if she couldn’t see the worried looks on other people’s faces. She simply stood in

front of Tessa before filling her glass up with alcohol. “I’m sorry,” Kathleen uttered sincerely. “I was too

hot-headed this afternoon, so I’m here to apologize to you.”

Tessa wasn’t the only one who was shocked upon hearing Kathleen’s words—the rest of the people

around them were just as surprised. Did Kathleen just apologize to Tessa? Is she still the Kathleen we

know?

Naturally, Kathleen noticed the dumbfounded looks on everyone’s faces. However, she didn’t seem to

care much about them. She beamed when she realized that Tessa didn’t have an alcohol glass for

herself. “Oh, dear. I didn’t even realize that you don’t have a glass. Hold on. Let me get you a drink.”

When Tessa saw Kathleen moving over to get her a glass, she hastily stopped Kathleen. “It’s fine. I’m

drinking juice.”

Kathleen’s eyes glinted before she spoke when she heard Tessa’s words. “Are you trying to disrespect

me by rejecting my drink, Tessa?” Kathleen twisted her face into a frown as she glared at Tessa.

Tessa felt rather uneasy to see the change in Kathleen’s expression, but she tried her best to remain

patient. “That wasn’t my intention,” she explained.

“If that wasn’t your intention, then do you think it’s right for you to drink juice while I drank alcohol for my

apology?” Kathleen asked. So, Tessa had no choice but to explain herself again when she saw that

Kathleen wasn’t willing to let this slide. “It’s not the right time for me to drink alcohol now,” Tessa stated.

“I don’t think it’s about the timing. You just don’t want to drink with me, right?” Tessa felt rather annoyed

by how pushy Kathleen was. Since Tessa didn’t want to ruin their dinner, she finally gave in and drank

two glasses of alcohol. Cough cough…The burning sensation in Tessa’s throat made her cough a few

times, and her pale face turned visibly red under the bright lights.

When Tessa lowered her glass of alcohol, she turned to gaze at Kathleen with her slightly teary eyes.

“Are we done now?” she asked in a hostile tone.

“Of course.” Kathleen wore a sly and smug grin on her face when she saw Tessa suffering. She knew

that Tessa’s stomach had been acting up—that was why she forced Tessa to drink alcohol. Tessa wasn’t

aware of Kathleen’s plan, but her stomach felt extremely uncomfortable after the two glasses she had. At

first, she could still tolerate the pain, but she soon felt like her entire stomach was on fire. She was in a

lot of pain. “I need to use the washroom.” In the end, she couldn’t control herself any longer—she hurried

out of the room after informing those around her that she had to use the washroom.

When Kathleen saw Tessa leaving, she curled her lips into a smirk. Then, after dinner was over and

everyone was about to leave, they suddenly realized that Tessa hadn’t returned from the washroom.

“Tessa has been in the washroom for a long while. Did something happen?” someone asked.

“I don’t know, but I noticed that she seemed rather pale when she left earlier,” someone else replied.

“Why don’t we go take a look?” A few of them agreed with one person’s suggestion. A faint annoyance

flashed across Kathleen’s gaze when she first overheard their conversations. “You guys don’t need to

look for Tessa anymore,” Kathleen said as she stood up to stop them. “She texted me a while ago and

said that she had already left. So she told us to head home on our own.”
