Chapter 775 Caught Red-Handed
It was what Tessa intended to do anyway, so she didn’t turn Hathaway’s suggestion down. After all, she thought the concert wasn’t as important as Nicholas.
=After thanking Hathaway, she asked, “How did the investigation go, Miss Hathaway? Did you manage to find the culprit?”
Likewise, Nicholas looked at Hathaway with narrowed eyes upon hearing so.
“It’s precisely what I’ve come here for.” While speaking, Hathaway looked apologetically at Tessa. “We couldn’t find much from the surveillance footage, and the staff involved are complicated. As such, it’s hard to say for sure who did it.”
Nicholas wasn’t surprised by Hathaway’s answer. In fact, he had foreseen it. He just wasn’t sure if Hathaway didn’t manage to find the culprit or if she was deliberately harboring them.
He scrutinized the woman with aloofness, hoping she wouldn’t disappoint Tessa.
The latter, who had no clue of Nicholas’ thoughts, couldn’t accept what Hathaway told her. In fact, she was rather upset. “Are they just going to brush it off like this?”
“Of course not.” Hathaway tried to ease Tessa’s mind and promised, “I will definitely see that the management gives you a justifiable answer.”
Despite so, Tess was still grim.
Just then, Nicholas’ subordinate knocked on the door and entered.
Tessa didn’t recognize him, so she asked, “Sorry, but who are you?”
“I’ve come to give President Sawyer an update, Miss Tessa,” replied the subordinate deferentially as he looked at Tessa.
At that, Nicholas looked knowingly at Hathaway. “It looks like we don’t have to wait for the management to give us an answer.”
Tessa and Hathaway were taken aback, but before they could ask, Nicholas turned to his subordinate expressionlessly. “What’s the situation?”
“We’ve gotten to the bottom of it, boss,” the subordinate reported his findings truthfully. “Kathleen bribed one of the stagehands with money, instructing him to damage the spotlight’s wire.”
