Chapter 776 Pay The Price
Hathaway was livid with rage when she found Kathleen.
She never imagined that her daughter could still enjoy herself without a sense of guilt after what she
had done.
“Come back to the room immediately!” Hathaway left after saying so.
Meanwhile, Kathleen looked at her mother’s raging figure with a sense of foreboding, feeling somewhat
uneasy.
Even so, she still followed Hathaway.
However, as soon she stepped through the door, a slap landed on her face before she had a chance to
say anything.

Kathleen gawked at her mother as she held her stinging cheek, dumbstruck by the slap. “Why did you
slap me?!”
“You still have the audacity to ask me why?! You dare tell me you don’t know what you’ve done
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwrong?!” Hathaway glared at Kathleen, who decided to play dumb as a glimmer flashed across her
eyes. “What have I done to make you so angry?!” uttered Kathleen aggrievedly.
Disappointment filled Hathaway when she saw that Kathleen wouldn’t admit her misdeed. “Was the
spotlight not your doing?”
Kathleen’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing so, and she couldn’t avow this no matter what. “What
proof do you have to accuse me of that? Does all of Tessa’s accidents have to do with me? How can
you be so protective of that woman, Mom? Have you forgotten who your real daughter is!?”
Hathaway, on the other hand, was beyond heartbroken seeing that Kathleen was impenitent.
Just then, Tessa showed up at the door with the subordinate from earlier.
“Are you still going to continue denying what you’ve done?” She glared at Kathleen, thinking she had
never seen anyone as shameless as that woman.
Tessa’s sudden appearance surprised Kathleen, but she managed to calm down in two shakes and
retorted, “Why shouldn’t I deny it? What evidence do you have to prove it has anything to do with me?”
Tessa bore into Kathleen and took her phone out to play the recording she copied from the
subordinate. “I’ll give you a million if for busting the spotlight.”
Kathleen’s face fell upon hearing her voice, shocked that they could get a definitive piece of evidence
of her misdeed.
Meanwhile, Tessa approached Kathleen with a fixed gaze, taking one step at a time. “Well, what do you
have to say for yourself now?”
“Stay back!” Kathleen retreated with guilt.
Of course, Tessa wasn’t going to do as Kathleen wished and instead continued moving closer to her
with intimidation. “I can overlook all the things you’ve done to me in the past for your mother’s sake,
seeing that they were all harmless. However, I really didn’t think you’d hate me to this degree!”
Hathaway was conscience-stricken at this point, so she didn’t stop Tessa, who was now standing two
steps away from Kathleen.
“I’ve always tried to avoid clashing with you since joining the orchestra.” Tessa bore into Kathleen with
an icy gaze. “Yet, you harm me time and again.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKathleen’s face was bloodless at this point. No one knew if it was from fear or guilt, but even so, Tessa
wasn’t going to spare her.
She suddenly raised her voice and questioned, “Are you going to still deny your misdeeds when it has
already come to this?”
Kathleen sneered as she locked eyes with Tessa, having regained her senses. “You want me to admit
my faults? Dream on!”
Lo and behold, Tessa slapped her as soon as she finished her words.
“How dare you slap me?” Kathleen held her cheek in shock.
“This slap is for the injury you caused my husband!” Tessa wasn’t intimidated by Kathleen’s venomous
glare. “I can overlook all the times you tried to harm me, but I won’t forgive you this time when human
life is involved. If you’re still indignant, talk to the police!”
At that, the police came through the door and took Kathleen away, leaving only Tessa and Hathaway in
the room.
It was evident that Hathaway was reluctant to see her daughter be taken away by the police as she
looked at the door.
She looked hesitantly at Tessa a few times but ultimately said nothing.
