Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 1218

Chapter 1218 A Dignified Aura

“Madam Sawyer, I heard that Miss Reinhart’s status was the reason why the Sawyers disapproved of her in the first place. The Sawyers deemed her to be unworthy of Mr. Sawyer. Yet, your attitude toward Miss Reinhart these days has changed once again. Is it because her current status can bring a considerable amount of fame and benefits to the Sawyers? May I interpret that as the reason behind the change in your attitude?”

Stefania’s already displeased face flushed crimson after hearing the reporter’s barbed questions. “You aren’t a reporter employed by the Sawyer Group, are you? Which media company do you work for? How dare you sneak into the banquet to stir up trouble? Who is the mastermind behind this?”

Stefania immediately exposed the reporter’s identity. After all, the media reporters present at the banquet this evening are all sent here by the media companies under the Sawyer Group.

Therefore, none of them will behave in such a way. As for the reporter, he didn’t show even the slightest sign of panic even though Stefania exposed his identity. Instead, he continued to confront Stefania, “Madam Sawyer, judging by your nonsensical remarks, can I take it as your acquiescence to my words?”

Unexpectedly, as soon as the reporter stopped, Tessa’s cold voice abruptly sounded from behind the crowd, “My mother-in-law doesn’t want to answer you solely because your questions aren’t worth her time.”

The others gave way when they saw her.

Tessa slowly made her way toward Stefania’s side with her hand on her waist. Then, she defended Stefania by saying, “As a reporter, you should know that hearsay is an act that reporters should avoid. My mother-in-law and I have always been close. As for the accusations you threw around earlier, those were nothing but rumors.”

After she finished saying that, she stared the reporter down with a warning look.

Perhaps due to her spending a long time with Nicholas, her dignified aura succeeded in frightening the reporter.

The reporter let out a hollow laugh under her death stare before he said, “Calm down, Miss Reinhart. I’m just asking out of curiosity, that’s all.”

“It’s not worth it for me to get angry over matters like this. Moreover, I know what you are trying to do. What I can tell you is that I have very high standards for myself because my husband is indeed very outstanding. I have always made being worthy to stand by his side a goal of mine. This is also why I’ve worked so hard until now,” Tessa explained with a professional smile. Although her voice was soft, it was still full of steel as she warned, “Did I make myself clear? Oh, and one more thing… Please stop sowing discord between my mother-in-law and me in the future.”

“No, I won’t ever do it again,” the reporter said as he forced a smile on his face. Then, he hastily apologized and scurried away.

As for everyone else, they all felt that Tessa had an extremely high emotional intelligence after they saw her resolve the matter so ingeniously.

Now that she had resolved the matter, the guests soon dispersed.

When Tessa noticed that Stefania was still in relatively low spirits, she coaxed, “Mother, don’t take those words to heart.”
