Chapter 631 Outburst
Kathleen couldn’t retort at the well-thought-out argument.
On the other hand, Hathaway, who was at the side, readily agreed with Tessa’s words.
She encouraged her as she felt that Tessa was an opinionated young woman. “Mr. Sawyer is indeed a remarkable man, but you’re not too bad yourself, so don’t put yourself down. In the future, you might achieve even more than I have.”
When Kathleen heard her mother’s words, she felt even more uncomfortable.
Her mother had never praised her like this, so why did her mother praise Tessa instead?
Even though she was fuming inside, she didn’t say anything horrible throughout the conversation.
Later that day, Tessa wanted her teacher to stay for dinner.
“It’s not every day you visit me, so please stay for dinner tonight.”
“It’s okay. I still have some matters with the orchestra to attend to. Now that I know you’re okay, I should be going back.” Hathaway shook her head and declined the kind offer.
Tessa couldn’t insist on the matter when she heard that Hathaway had business to attend to, so she could only see them off.
Once in the car, Kathleen’s smile immediately disappeared.
Hathaway noticed the change in Kathleen’s emotions, and she couldn’t help but look at Kathleen, asking in a puzzled tone, “What’s wrong?”
“What’s wrong? Fine, let me ask you. What do you mean by that? Who’s your daughter, me or Tessa?” Kathleen couldn’t suppress the fury inside her anymore as she questioned Hathaway with an angry look in her eyes.
Hathaway frowned, upset by her barbed words. “What’s the matter with you this time?”
“Hah, that again. Every time I fight with Tessa, you always take her side. Now I’m really wondering if you’re my mother.” Furious and wronged, Kathleen looked at Hathaway. “You always say that I’m hostile toward Tessa, but have you ever wondered why I behave like that toward her?”
“Isn’t it because of Scott?” Hathaway didn’t even have to think before giving her answer.
Kathleen screamed, unable to control her rage anymore, “Scott is one of the reasons, but you’re the fuse that started it! It’s you!”
With a screech, Hathaway hastily stepped on the brakes at her outburst.
Before she could say anything, Kathleen glared at her with red-rimmed eyes, accusing her, “I don’t care if other people love and support Tessa, but why did you do it too? You’re supposed to be my mommy! Am I worse than Tessa in your eyes? Don’t you know how others look at me when you do this? They will also think that I’m inferior to her!”
