    CHAPTER 1470 THE SENTENCES


    "In other words, you''re determined to sow discord in the Sawyer Family, huh?" Madeline questioned


    sharply. The way she worded her question was sly because it sounded as though Tessa was the


    reason the Sawyers were at odds with each other.


    An amused Tessa looked at her. "Don''t you think that''s rather unreasonable of you to say that, Aunt


    Madeline? It was Granduncle Adam''s and Granduncle Joseph''s greed that led them astray, using the


    company assets for smuggling. They even tried to kill Nichs to write off the whole matter. Yet, when


    this was exposed, instead of thinking of a way to make up for their mistake properly, they ganged up


    with outsiders to kidnap me, their rtive, in an attempt to threaten Nichs. I''m the victim, and here


    you are, trying to shake off all responsibilities and me the victim. Aren''t you ashamed of yourself?"


    Atst, she added sternly, "Furthermore, everyone should be responsible for their mistakes."


    Maybe it was because she had been with Nichs for a long time, the air of authority she carried with


    her was terrifying, and it stunned Madeline and the others into silence. In the end, they went home


    without aplishing anything.


    Not long after they had left, Nichs rushed home, surprising Tessa. "Why are you back so early?"

    "Andrew called earlier and told me that Madeline and the others came here unannounced. I was afraid


    that they''d threaten you, so I rushed home," he exined briefly and looked around the living room.


    When he didn''t see Madeline and the others, the anxious look on his face rxed. "They''re gone?"


    "In other words, you''re determined to sow discord in the Sawyer Family, huh?" Madeline questioned


    sharply. The way she worded her question was sly because it sounded as though Tessa was the


    reason the Sawyers were at odds with each other.


    "Yes, they are." Tessa nodded and dragged him into a seat on the couch. "You didn''t have toe


    back, especially for something so trivial like this. I can deal with them myself."


    "I know, but I can''t help it," he said solemnly, holding her hand.


    A chuckle escaped Tessa''s lips, and she felt her heart warm at his words. Nevertheless, he stayed


    behind and apanied her for a while before returning to thepany. Once he was in his office, he


    called Edward and instructed, "Get the police to close the case as quickly as possible."


    Edward nodded, and two dayster, the offenses of Adam and Joseph were announced to the public.


    They were charged with smuggling, embezzlement, and murder and were sentenced to life


    imprisonment. Even though the sentence for Zachary and the others wasn''t as harsh as Adam and


    Joseph''s, they were aplices and were sentenced to ten years of imprisonment.


    Meanwhile, Kathleen, who was given the mandatory sentence, was denied return to Vienna after the


    court hearing, and on the day of her trial, the court was packed with swarms of journalists who heard


    about the news.


    ''The past great musician, Kathleen, faked death to avoid punishment and is now on death row after


    committing a crime.''


    When the news was published, all theizens were stunned beyond words. After all, it created such a


    buzz back then when news of Kathleen''s death got out, and some of her fans even demanded justice


    for her death. Not only did they boycott the Hathaway Philharmonic, they even hurled abuses at Tessa.


    But the person that should be dead had returned to life, and something so unexpected was difficult for


    people to ept, especially Kathleen''s fans who had defended her. The deeper the love they had for


    Kathleen, the deeper the hate they had for her now.


    ''Now, I finally understand why Miss Hathaway refused to care about Kathleen back then. There was no


    doubt she was very disappointed in Kathleen.''


    ''I''m curious about how Kathleen was able to fake her death to avoid punishment. Also, is it truly


    confirmed that Hathaway was not in the know about this?''


    ''You can stop being so curious. BBC News already reported that she was able to pull this off because


    her father spent a huge amount of money to pay someone to make a mask that looks like the real


    thing. They also rified that Miss Hathaway has no idea about this."


    Once thisment was posted, severalizens immediately searched the BBC website to check their


    report on this sensational news. At the same time, there were a lot of journalists crowding around


    Hathaway''s office. All of them hoped to get a chance to interview her and receive thetest firsthand


    information.


    Mona frowned deeply when she learned about the news. This matter was also a big shock to her.


    Never in her wildest dreams did it ur to her that Susan was, in fact, Kathleen. Honestly, if she wasn''t


    swamped with work, she really wanted to call Tessa and ask about the whole situation in detail.


    Just when her thoughts were running wild, a band member suddenly ran to her anxiously.
