Chapter 1010 Involving the Orchestra
Nicholas noticed her frown. “She’s probably not the culprit. There’s no reason for her to
come after you, so she’s probably a scapegoat.” Nicholas held her hand.
Tessa thought he had a point. She didn’t know the makeup artist, and by all accounts, they
should have no beef. Just then, a thought popped into her head. “If it’s not her, then the
only suspects are the Group Six members. But do any of them have beef with me?” No, I
guess not. She kept frowning. “But I don’t have any enemies on the team.”
Nicholas narrowed his eyes as he fell into his thoughts. The officers said, “Maybe someone
outside of the team is trying to push the blame onto someone else.”
Nicholas thought that was possible. “Look into this further.” He gave the officers a look of
silent plea. Surprised, the officers nodded and promised they would keep investigating.

And then only Nicholas and Tessa were the ones remaining. Tessa postulated, “If we’re
looking at the potential list of suspects, then Eunice is on there, but I don’t think she’s that
petty. Ruining Group Six’s first performance just to get at me? That’s not possible.”
Nicholas disagreed. You don’t know what goes on in people’s minds. You’re not a telepath.
He hadn’t talked to Eunice much, but he knew she was a woman who would do anything
to achieve her goals. It might be her, but I don’t have proof. He held Tessa’s hand again.
“Just get some rest and don’t think about it. We’ll talk once the investigations are done.”
Guess so. I have no proof, and suspicion alone isn’t enough to convict anyone.
Gregory came downstairs. “Did you get the baddie who hurt Mommy?” He came up to his
father, his eyes filled with concern.
Nicholas answered honestly, “Not yet. So, stay at home and protect Mommy, alright?”
“Don’t worry, Daddy. I will!” Gregory puffed out his chest as he got easily distracted.
Tessa wanted to laugh. Oh, he doesn’t know he’s already distracted.
They had a happy lunch, and Nicholas told the boy to stay at home with Tessa while he
went to a quiet coffee shop. Sofia was already waiting for him at one of the tables when
he came inside.
He took a seat, and she asked, “Why did you ask me out, Mr. Sawyer?”
“My men investigated the accident last night, and it was probably targeted at my wife,” he
cut to the chase.
Sofia started getting solemn too. “Do you have proof, Mr. Sawyer?”
“This is the original performance agenda.” He handed Sofia the list of performances in
order.

my wife would have been the one to perform onstage when the accident happened, but
Susan took her place, so she was the one who got hurt.”
He paused for a moment. His eyes were filled with cold fury, and there was an eerie air of
anger coming off him. “If my wife hadn’t gone to the hospital because of her allergy, she
could have been the one who was hurt, and my child would have been killed.”
Looking at Nicholas’ grim expression, Sofia realized the gravity of the situation. Her
expression turned grim as well. She didn’t want to believe someone so evil could exist in
her orchestra, but the proof told her otherwise. “I’ll look into this, Mr. Sawyer, don’t worry.
I won’t let the culprit run free.”
Nicholas nodded. That’s what I was waiting for. “I’ll get someone to help you out with the
investigations.”
