Chapter 963


    Chapter 963 Do You Have Evidence?


    ”Okay. But you have toe back quickly, Mommy.”


    Gregory nodded obediently and walked into the training room with the violin on his back, and Tessa


    watched him until he started practicing before she turned to leave.


    In the office, Sofia was a little surprised to see Tessa. ”What brought you here?”


    ”My husband found the key person that stole my score,” Tessa said honestly. Sofia had not a single


    shard of doubt at that. After all, with Nichs’ status, there was no reason for him to lie about this.


    Sofia immediately kept her work away as she looked at Tessa sternly and asked gravely, ”Who is it?”


    ”Richelle,” Tessa answered right away.


    ”It’s her?” Sofia was taken aback when she heard the identity of the culprit responsible for such a


    heinous crime in the music industry. Clearly, she didn’t expect that Richelle would do such a thing as


    she had a rtively good impression of the woman; Richelle was a rather gifted violinist and hard-


    working to boot.


    Despite her disbelief, she instructed her assistant to bring Richelle over. Meanwhile, Richelle’s heart


    almost leaped out of her throat, and it filled with anxiety when she heard that Sofia was looking for her.


    So, the instant she entered the office, panic swelled to insurmountable levels when she saw that Tessa


    was also in attendance.


    Why is this woman here? Did Miss Sofia find out that it was me? Richelle thought in trepidation.


    The more she dwelled on it, the more uneasy she became, but she tightened her fists and forced


    herself to calm down.


    It didn’t matter if they learned that she was the culprit; she couldn’t afford to be all over the ce at this


    crucial time.


    Hence, she squashed all her emotions down her throat, lowered her eyes, stood in front of Sofia, and


    asked demurely, ”Miss Sofia, why did you ask for me?”


    When Sofia saw how earnest and docile she appeared, she really couldn’t bring herself to believe that


    she was capable of something so vile.

    ”Do you know about the theft in the band recently?”


    Richelle’s heart skipped a beat, and she pursed her lips. ”Yes.”


    ”I heard that you met Vernon the other day,” Sofia said, narrowing her eyes at Richelle with an


    unreadable expression.


    On the other hand, Richelle’s heart was hammering against her chest in fright, and she had never been


    this nervous in her life. She tightened her fists briefly and used the stinging pain to calm down. At that


    moment, countless thoughts shed through her mind, but she finally decided to e clean’.


    ”Yes, I did because I know Vernon as a friend. So, I hung out with him for a chat.”


    She’s still being stubborn, eh? Tessa thought when she heard her excuse.


    Therefore, she interrogated Richelle mercilessly with a stony expression, ”Was it only just a chat and


    nothing else?”


    Richelle’s heart shuddered at her sharp inquiry. Still, she shot Tessa a nce, feigning annoyance as


    she argued, ”What are you implying, Miss Reinhart? Do you suspect me of stealing your score just


    because I was in contact with Vernon?”


    Tessa huffed in anger at the sight of the self-righteous act the woman was pulling before her.


    ”No, I’m past being suspicious of you. I’m sure that you’re the one who took my score!”


    Her words sent a chill down Richelle’s spine, and she swept her gaze over Sofia, who had a sullen


    look. Sofia’s attitude made it clear that she wouldn’t be interjecting in her conflict with Tessa. Finally,


    she decided not to admit to the theft no matter what, or else she wouldn’t be able to bear the


    consequences.


    ”Miss Reinhart, you need to have proof for saying that. Do you have any proof to show that it’s me?”


    She red at Tessa in frustration as though she had been framed and a victim as well. Frankly, if Tessa


    didn’t have the necessary evidence at hand, she may have been fooled by Richelle’spelling act.


    Tessa sneered as she retorted, ”Since you want proof, I’ll show you proof.”


    Then, she yed the surveince recording that Nichs had obtained. The recording showed


    Richelle inviting Vernon privately and the process of their deal. As expected, Sofia looked grim after


    watching the recording, and she shot a sharp look at Richelle.


    ”What else do you have to say with the evidence here?”


    Blood drained from Richelle’s face, and her knees buckled, which resulted in her slumping down to the


    floor on her knees.


    Never did she imagine that Tessa woulde into possession of the recording of her deal with Vernon.


    Finally, she snapped back to her senses as the pain in her knees registered and quickly begged for


    forgiveness tremulously, ”I was wrong. I shouldn’t have done something like this in a moment of folly.”


    Unfortunately, her pleas were not sufficient to appease Sofia’s ire.
