Mona wasn’t scared in the slightest. She warned coldly, “It’s you who should leave. Tessa is my distinguished guest, and I’d advise you to be careful with your actions.”
With those words, she forcefully shook off Susan’s grasp, causing the woman to clench her teeth and tremble in anger. However, Mona paid her no mind and led Tessa to the VIP lounge.
Susan watched their every move with a bitter gaze and suddenly laughed. “Oh, to ride on the coattails of her son and become the legitimate madam of the Sawyers. It’s no wonder she’s so full of herself now and has the power to reprimand others this way.”
Tessa couldn’t help but notice the sarcasm in her words.
She wasn’t one to be trifled with, though, so she fired back. “Mona, did a dog sneak into the concert? I swear I heard one barking. Perhaps you should ask security to check it out. We wouldn’t want a barking dog to scare the audience tonight, would we?”
She deliberately avoided Susan’s gaze and looked around her seat as if searching for something. Mona couldn’t help but laugh out loud at her friend’s sharp retort.
Nonetheless, she played along. “Perhaps there is one here. I’ll go and get security right now! Susan’s face turned red with anger as she listened to their conversation.
Just as she was about to explode, Hathaway’s assistant arrived. “Susan, Miss Hathaway wants to see you.” Hathaway had noticed the situation over here.
Knowing that Susan and Tessa were at odds, she separated the two to avoid any conflicts. Susan also knew exactly why Hathaway was asking for her, so she followed along. After all, she still needed her help and didn’t want to make things any worse.
As she watched Susan leave, Mona breathed a sigh of relief and complained, “I have no idea why Miss Hathaway would accept someone like that into the group.”
