    Chapter 1008 Chastise


    “What happened to my hand?” She touched the cast on her arm, her eyes filled with anxiety. She’s


    worried about her career. Rorion said, “Your hand is broken, but just rest up as the doctor ordered, and


    you’ll heal up. It won’t affect your career.”


    Even so, Susan was still enraged. She knew she could heal, but this incident still caused some


    damage to her arm. Then she remembered that her performance was cut off halfway through, and she


    held her father’s arm while bombarding him with questions. “What happened to the performance? Is


    everyone talking about that ident? What’s the orchestra’s stance on this?”


    “Calm down, Susan,” Rorion calmed her down before he answered her questions. “The performance is


    over, and it’s overall a fine event. I pulled some strings and kept your ident’s reports at a minimum. I


    won’t let those reporters write any articles about you.”


    Susan was relieved, but the whole thing still frustrated her. She was nning on making a name for


    herself with this performance, but that had gone down the drain. Furthermore, she thought something


    was off with the ident too. Kellen cares about stage safety. This shouldn’t have happened. The look


    in her eyes sharpened. “I don’t think this ident is a mere coincidence, Daddy. Get someone to look


    into it.”

    Tessa’s allergy got better the next day, and she wanted to go home, but surprisingly, she saw Susan


    and Rorion standing together before she left. That’s odd. Why is Kathleen’s father with Susan?


    And then Nichs broke her train of thought. “What’s wrong?” Nichs noticed her standing like a


    statue, so he turned around.


    Tessa snapped out of it and answered, “Look. That’s Kathleen’s father, and the girl beside him is


    Susan, a member of our orchestra. I wonder why they’re together.”


    Nichs looked at where she was pointing, and he too thought it was odd. A frown furrowed his brows.


    “I’ll look into this.”


    He wasn’t being paranoid. Rorion was Kathleen’s father, and he hated Tessa because of her bad blood


    with his daughter. Now he was awfully close to one of the members of Tessa’s orchestra, and he


    wondered if Rorion was up to something.


    Tessa didn’t stop him, as she shared his opinion. Any mistake, no matter how little it was, was not


    tolerable. Her baby was on the line, and she couldn’t be too careful.


    Gregory weed them the moment they came home. “Are you feeling better, Mommy?” He was


    worried about Tessa.


    Tessa was touched that he cared about her so much. “I feel so much better now. So, what did you do


    today?” She led the boy to the couch and sat down.


    Nichs followed them, the look in his eyes gentle.


    Stefania video called in the afternoon. She asked, “Miss Reinhart, I heard you were hospitalized. What


    happened?”


    Tessa was surprised Stefania knew she was in the hospital, but she answered honestly, “It was


    nothing. Just had an allergic reaction. Don’t worry about it, Stefania.”


    That answer only worried Stefania more. “And how did that happen?”


    “Probably some changes to my skin because of the pregnancy, and the makeup products just whipped


    up a storm.” Tessa told her about the doctor’s diagnosis.


    The frown on Stefania’s forehead deepened. She was upset to find out Tessa was performing even


    though she was five months pregnant. “You’re already in your second trimester. Juste back and


    wait until you give birth to the baby before you chase your dreams. I won’t stop you. But if you run


    around and get into any trouble, it’d be disastrous. Do you even know what you’re doing?”
