Chapter 947 Seen Through Her Act
Sofia said with a serious expression, “You should focus on your practice. I’ll look into it as
soon as possible and give you an answer!”
Hearing that, Tessa nodded and entered the training room. Yet, after something like this
had happened, she couldn’t focus on the training anymore. Thus, she sat on the couch
with a lot on her mind.
When Gregory saw that, he quickly went over and asked worriedly, “What’s wrong,
Mommy? Who upset you?”
As soon as she met the little guy’s innocent eyes, she forced out a smile. “I’m fine. You
should head back to practice.”
She didn’t want to tell the little guy what happened since she was afraid that it would
affect his mood as well, so she brushed him off and was lost in her own thoughts again.
However, even until noon, she still couldn’t figure out how she had lost her manuscript.
After having lunch, she was about to go to Sofia’s office to ask her how her investigation
was coming along when her phone rang. It was a call from her little brother.
“It’s already so late there. Why aren’t you sleeping yet?” She looked at her little brother

the screen. Her eyes were filled with dissatisfaction. Because of the time difference, it was
already midnight in Xerthania.
Timothy knew that his sister was concerned about him. His heart warmed, and he said
with a smile, “The company took on a big project previously, so I’ve been busy working on
it these days. I won’t work overtime anymore once this project becomes stable.”
“Take good care of yourself. Don’t let me worry,” Tessa reminded him.
Hearing that, Timothy nodded obediently and told her what he had called for. “It’s
Nicholas’ birthday tomorrow, and I’ve asked someone to send a present over. It should
arrive at your house in the afternoon. Please give it to Nicholas on my behalf tomorrow.”
Although she agreed to it, Tessa felt rather melancholic inside.
Her present had been stolen, and she wasn’t sure whether this matter would be dealt with
by tomorrow night. If it wasn’t, what present should she prepare for Nicholas then?
On the other hand, Timothy noticed that something was off when he saw Tessa being quiet
in the video call all of a sudden. “Tessa, is something wrong?”
When Tessa met with her little brother’s concerned gaze, she couldn’t hide anything from
him. “The birthday present I made for Nicholas was stolen and published. We can’t find
the culprit based on the surveillance footage.”
As soon as he heard that, his face darkened at once as anger rose inside him. There are
actually people who dare bully Tessa? Do they think I’m dead?
“Tell me every detail about the situation and the results of the surveillance investigation.”
Tessa nodded and told him everything honestly.
After Timothy heard that, he narrowed his eyes and thought about it. Since he dealt with
stuff like this, he found the problem in no time.
“Someone might have done something to the surveillance footage. Send me a copy of the
footage later, and I’ll deal with it.”
“Okay. I’ll do it now.” Tessa hung up the phone and went to the surveillance room without
wasting another minute.
When she got the surveillance footage, she didn’t dare delay either. She sent it to
Timothy’s email immediately, hoping that he could find some clues from it.
When she returned home that night, she was feeling very down, but she acted as though

want this matter to affect his mood.
However, she didn’t know that Nicholas had already seen through her act. After some
thought, he didn’t expose her on the spot.
After dinner, Tessa went back to the bedroom to shower.
As soon as Nicholas saw her figure disappear from the staircase, he asked Gregory to
come to his side and asked, “Did something happen in the orchestra today?”
“Nothing special.” Gregory shook his head and looked at Nicholas in confusion. “What’s
wrong, Daddy?”
“Nothing. Go back to your room and do your homework.” Seeing Gregory’s crystal clear
eyes, Nicholas thought that he didn’t look like he was hiding anything, so he brushed him
off.
Later, when he returned to the bedroom, he saw that his wife had already showered and
was so immersed in her own thoughts while sitting on the bed that she didn’t even realize
that he had already come in.
He widened his eyes and strode over to her before asking casually, “What’s on your mind?
Why are you in such deep thought?”
