    CHAPTER 1471 HATHAWAY’S BREAKDOWN


    "Mona, this is bad. A lot of Kathleen''s fans have gathered outside our doors, saying that Kathleen lied


    to them. They''re all demanding an exnation from Miss Hathaway."


    When Mona heard the anxiety in her colleague''s voice, she frowned and said in annoyance, "Didn''t the


    news on the Inte already make it clear? Tell those people outside to look it up on the Inte if they


    don''t know what''s going on."


    "That''s what I told them, but they want to hear it from Miss Hathaway''s lips. They even threatened to


    create a scene outside, refusing to leave unless Miss Hathaway gives them the exnation they want,"


    the colleague exined in dismay.


    Out of wits, Mona decided to concede to their demands. "If that''s the case, go outside and try to calm


    them while I look for Miss Hathaway. I''ll ask her about her thoughts on this matter."


    "Please hurry up, okay? I''m afraid that we won''t be able to stop them for long." A look of distress


    appeared on that colleague''s face, and Mona nodded before dashing straight for Hathaway''s office.


    She stood before the door and knocked a few times, announcing the reason for her presence, "Miss


    Hathaway, there are a lot of Kathleen''s fans outside, and they hope that you''ll rify the Kathleen


    incident." Then, she waited quietly at the door. A few seconds passed by, but no sound came from


    within the room. So, Mona knocked again and asked, "Miss Hathaway, are you there?"


    Still, there was no sound from the office, and Mona started to worry because she remembered that


    Hathaway had arrived here rather early in the morning. "Miss Hathaway, I''ming in if you''re not


    saying anything," she said, turning the knob and pushing the door open. Immediately, a strong smell of


    alcohol rushed up her nostrils, and she saw Hathaway''s head resting against the desk.


    "Mona, this is bad. A lot of Kathleen''s fans have gathered outside our doors, saying that Kathleen lied


    to them. They''re all demanding an exnation from Miss Hathaway."


    Mona approached her and saw that Hathaway, who was usually so elegant and graceful, was slumped


    and disheveled on the floor with two empty bottles by her side.

    "Miss Hathaway?" Mona called softly.


    Hathaway didn''t answer and looked like she was utterly drunk. Mona didn''t know what to do. Still, she


    crouched down and helped her up. That was when she noticed that Hathaway wasn''t wholly


    unconscious because her face was covered in tears that kept flowing from her eyes.


    It was obvious that Hathaway didn''t want to wake up and face the harsh reality, but Mona didn''t want to


    force her, either. So, she helped Hathaway into the lounge in the office and left the room.


    When she came out, the band member from earlier approached her once more in an even more


    distressed state than ever. "Mona, what did Miss Hathaway say? Those fans look like they''ll break the


    doors down."


    "If we can''t stop them, just call the police." This was the only solution Mona could think of since she


    was equally helpless.


    Soon, the police arrived and quickly drove away the fans who were creating a ruckus.


    Once all these frustrating matters had been taken care of, Mona slipped into her personal training room


    and called Tessa. "Tessa, I saw the news on the Inte. Are you alright?" she asked, worried about


    Tessa''s condition.


    Tessa briefly recounted the incident to her, ending with, "But I''m fine now. Don''t worry."


    Although Tessa tried her best to make her tone sound lighthearted, Mona still had the jitters after


    hearing the whole story. "I have no words about Kathleen. It really made me wonder why Susan was so


    hostile to you, but now the mystery has been solved. It turns out that''s because she''s Kathleen," Mona


    said huffily, regarding Kathleen as her enemy as well.


    Tessaughed and asked about Hathaway in concern, "I heard that Kathleen is given the death


    penalty. How''s Miss Hathaway doing?"


    "She''s not doing all that great. When I checked in on her, she was drinking herself to a stupor and


    crying in her office," Mona said honestly.


    On the other end of the line, Tessa felt uneasy to hear Hathaway suffering, but that was all. She wasn''t


    a saint and could never repay the grievances she suffered with kindness. Finally, she could only ask


    Mona for a favor, "Please keep an eye on her condition for the next few days. I''m afraid that she


    wouldn''t be able to handle the blow and resort to some extreme actions."


    "I got it. I''ll keep a close eye on her," Mona nodded.


    After Tessa hung up, she felt a heavy stone weighing down her heart. Nichs, who was seated next


    to her, felt that something was amiss with her right away. "What''s wrong? Are you worried about


    Hathaway?"


    "Yeah, a little," she admitted and told him about her concerns. "Kathleen has been convicted, and I''m


    worried that Miss Hathaway would do something drastic out of grief."
