Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 1010

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. Then, they left.

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?”
