Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 779

Chapter 779 Kathleen’s Release

In the afternoon, Tessa and Mona went to the canteen to have their lunch when they met Scott unexpectedly. “Mr. Brooks? Why are you here?” Tessa looked at him in surprise.

Scott didn’t plan to hide from them and briefly explained the situation, “Kathleen couldn’t make it to the performance, so Miss Hathaway asked me to take her place.”

He then continued in worry, “I heard from Miss Hathaway about what happened that day. I can’t believe that Kathleen would do such a thing. Luckily, you’re fine.”

“Yeah, thank God my husband arrived on time, or I really don’t know what would’ve happened.” There was still fear on Tessa’s face when she talked about that day.

Seeing that, he felt bad for her. He didn’t want her to recall that event anymore, so he quickly changed the topic. “I went to the police station to meet Kathleen with Miss Hathaway the day before yesterday.”

“How is she?” Tessa was curious, for she didn’t care about this matter anymore ever since she sent Kathleen to the police station. She wanted to know whether Kathleen had realized her mistakes after such a long time.

Scott seemingly noticed what was on Tessa’s mind and he replied in disappointment, “She’s still the same, and she does not feel any remorse.”

“Kathleen is already used to being arrogant, so it’s impossible for her to admit to her mistake. Now that her patron is here, the chance is even slighter.” Mona sighed at the side as she felt that asking Kathleen to admit to her mistake was like nailing Jell-O to a tree.

Scott frowned too, for he knew a little about Kathleen’s father. Although her father looked gentle on the outside, he was actually an insolent man who would cover up his family’s wrongdoings no matter what. “Kathleen’s father is really a powerful man who’s not to be trifled with. If he rushed here to deal with this, I think Kathleen would be released in no time.”

Hearing that, Tessa knitted her brows. She’s getting released so soon? It looks like her father really is something. However, what made her disappointed the most was that Kathleen was being released when she hadn’t even learned her lesson yet after doing such a terrible thing.
