    After that, she snapped back and nodded with a smile. “Don’t worry. I won’t listen to Nichs.”


    Timothy threw Nichs a gleeful look at her words, and his eyebrows shot up a little, but he didn’t say


    anything. Despite that, he kept this tab in his heart, nning to exact his ‘revenge’ on his mischievous


    brother-inw in due time. Meanwhile, Timothy and Tessa have already started asking about each


    other.


    “Tess, how are you doing over there?”


    “I’m doing rather well. What about you? Are you taking good care of yourself back home?”


    As they talked about their everyday life, their conversation gradually switched to Timothy’spany


    without realizing it.


    “How’s yourpany doingtely? You’re very busy, aren’t you?” she asked concernedly.


    “Not bad, but I’m not very busy. So, you don’t have to worry, Tess.”


    “I’m not worried, but I see that you’ve lost weight again. Why is this happening?”


    She felt frustrated as she stared at her brother and thought that he didn’t take care of himself.


    Timothy was embarrassed, but before he could say anything. Tessa said earnestly, “The money isn’t


    going to run away when you take a break. Besides, no matter how busy you are, you must eat your


    meals regrly. Your body is your capital, and if you are too busy, we’ll hire someone to cook your


    meals or just clean up the ce. If you continue like this, how can I further my studies abroad in


    peace?”


    “I know. I’m sorry, Tess. I’ll take good care of myself. Don’t worry about me. He apologized to her good-


    naturedly.


    s, it didn’t matter how he apologized,


    as she was well aware that he wouldn’t change his ways even if he admited his mistakes, and she


    sighed. “Both of you are workaholics, So, how can I not worry?”


    “I’m here, so you don’t have to worry so much. Just watch over yourself!


    Nichs stood up from his desk, snatched back his phone, and looked at the girl in the call with gentle


    eyes.


    If he allowed her to go on, he was afraid that he would also receive a round of lectures. Thus, he


    decided to divert her attention while he still could.


    Hathaway’s birthday was held at the orchestra hall, and the interior was grandly decorated.


    In the evening, an endless convoy of luxury cars was lined up on both sides of the road, and countless


    famous musicians were dropped off at the venue.


    They were all dressed morously int gowns and bespoke suits as they entered


    the hall in groups and pairs..


    The hall was brightly lit as light music yed in the background while uniformed waiters walked through


    the crowd with an ease tha: spoke of experience as they carried a tray of


    cocktails for the peopie in attendance.


    “Happy birthday, Hathaway


    The guests who arrived all sent their


    greetings, and they were all Hathaway’s


    close friends.


    Hathaway was overjoyed by the turnout,


    thanked them, and introduced her


    friends to Kathleen and Tessa.


    Everyone had a st, and many of them


    were full of admiration for Tessa.


    “She must be your outstanding student,


    isn’t she? She looks like an uncut gem.”


    “I heard the news from our circle some


    time ago and was really curious. Finally, I


    got to meet her in person. She’s a


    wonderful person, indeed.”


    “The industry is rife with the news that you have a talented student, and everyone wants to make her


    their student now.”


    There was even someone who tried to poach Tessa right under Hathaway’s nose.


    “Miss Reinhart, if Hathaway doesn’t want. to teach you music anymore, my doors are always open to


    you.


    “Fissel, you re poaching my student in front of me. Are you trying to pick a fight because our friendship


    has been too peaceful?” She feigned anger as she red at him, and this roused another round of


    cheerfulughter.


    The entire time, Tessa stood beside Hathaway quietly and gracefully, giving people an even better


    impression of her.


    On the other side stood Kathleen,


    listening to thepliments everyone


    was showering on Tessa, and the jealousy


    and resentment in her heart grew.


    She held the wine ss so tightly that her knuckles turned white as she tried to hide the malevolent


    intent in her eyes.


    In the past, she was the only one around, and these musicians only sang praises of her, but now,


    everyone’s attention was on that b*tch, Tessa Reinhart! Unbeknownst to her, it was just a


    misunderstanding. Between Tessa and Kathleen, these musicians already knew Kathleen very well, but


    they had never been in contact with Tessa before. Hence, they were naturally more curious about her.
