Chapter 475


    Chapter 475 Drink Up


    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 gettingzier andzier. 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 nced 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 ss 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 nced 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 ss 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 ss for


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


    When Tessa saw Kathleen moving over to get her a ss, 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 red 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 exined.


    “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 exin 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 sses 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 ss 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 n, but her stomach felt extremely ufortable after the two sses


    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


    shed 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.”
