    Chapter 526


    After the meal. Hathaway and Kathleen sat on the couch when she asked her daughter about her days


    in prison.


    “How are you these days when you were held in detention? Did anyone bully you?”


    Kathleen looked at her caring mother; an unfathomable emotion shed across her clear, blue eyes. “I


    don’t want to talk about this,” she nonchntly responded.


    Hathaway was stunned to hear that, but she cooperatively nodded. “Alright. You don’t have to tell me if


    you don’t want to.”


    Kathaleen pursed her lips and said nothing more. She darted a nce at the door, puzzled that nobody


    from the orchestra had greeted her although she had returned for quite a while, so she asked, “Where


    are others from the orchestra?”


    “They have gone back; I’m the only one waiting for you here.” Hathaway briefly exined what had


    happened in the past few days.


    Kathleen, uninterested in understanding those trivial matters, interrupted, “What happened to the


    performance after that incident?”


    “The performance-” Hathaway seemed hesitant.


    “Was the performance cancelled?” Kathleen frowned.


    “No, that didn’t happen.” Hathaway shook her head and denied it. Then, when she saw her daughter’s


    intent gaze, she confessed, “The performance went on as usual, but I had Tessa rece your role.”


    Sure enough, as soon as she said that, Kathleen could no longer maintain her calm expression.


    “You had Tessa rece me?” She viciously red at Hathaway as though thetter was not her mother


    but her enemy.


    Hathaway was startled by the viciousness of Kathleen’s re and tried to exin, “At that time, the


    performance was imminent, and it was toote to arrange for someone else to rece you. Besides,


    Tessa is capable,”

    Kathleen, who could not continue to listen to her exnation, indignantly roared, “Enough!”


    At that instant, she erupted like a volcano and started throwing and smashing anything she could grab


    around her as if everything before her was offensive to her eyes.


    Hathaway was staggered by her rage; it was only when she heard the sound of ss breaking did she


    return to her senses.


    The living room that quickly became a mess made her expression fall into a stern one, and she


    reprimanded, “Kathleen, have you lost your mind? Stop that!”


    However, her words unexpectedly pissed Kathleen even more. “Me? Lost my mind? Let me ask


    you this-are you even my mother?!”


    She stared at Hathaway angrily with wide eyes as though she was going to swallow thetter whole.


    “Ever since the woman named Reinhart showed up in our lives, you have been siding with her. Just be


    honest-you want that b*tch, Tessa, to rece me as your daughter, don’t you? That is why you didn’t


    even visit me when I was in detention!”


    Hathaway felt furious and distressed in the face of her daughter’s usation, but she still suppressed


    her anger and tried to exin, “I didn’t mean it that way. I told you that the time was tight and there


    wasn’t any other suitable candidate in the orchestra to take your ce. Tessa just happened to


    possess the skills for that role, so I requested her to rece you.


    “Hah, she possesses the skills?! You’re just being impartial.” Kathleen refused to ept her mother’s


    exnation andughed mockingly. “My assistant concertmaster is also qualified to rece my role, so


    why didn’t you ask her to rece me instead?”


    “No, she couldn’t. She is stillcking in many aspects.” Hathaway unhesitatingly dismissed the


    suggestion before she said, “Kathleen, calm down. Let’s talk things out.”


    “Calm down? I’m sorry for being unable to calm down. Besides, there’s nothing for us to talk about!”


    Then, after she screamed at Hathaway, she turned around and left.


    Hathaway went after her worriedly, only to find that Kathleen had merely returned to her room. She felt


    relieved but couldn’t help but feel disappointed in her daughter as well.


    Hathaway had initially thought that Kathleen would change into a better person after that incident, but


    judging from the current situation, Kathleen seemed to even resent Hathaway after this.


    Hathaway felt dejected at that thought.


    Meanwhile, Tessa, who was at the Dynasty Gardens, was aware that this was the day when Kathleen


    was released from detention.


    However, she was conflicted if she should pay Kathleen a visit at the hotel.
