Chapter 1105 Wanda’s Jealousy
Tessa suddenly remembered Stefania’s words and hurriedly told Nicholas about it. After
acknowledging it, they headed to Sawyer Residence together.
At the same time, Wanda heard about Nicholas’ return from her assistant. Thinking about
the man whom she had not met for a long time, she could not quell the strong urge to
meet him.
Therefore, she brought Horace to Sawyer Residence for a visit. Naturally, Remus was
delighted to see them, especially Horace, who had returned to the country without
informing Remus.
“Since when have you returned to the country? Oh, how dare you keep me in the dark!”
“That’s why it is a surprise, isn’t it?”
While the old men shared a conversation, Wanda’s beautiful eyes swept across the living
room. As she had not expected Tessa and Nicholas to be here together, the smile on her
face went stiff.

“Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Sawyer,” she greeted everyone politely and even addressed Tessa.
Though she was surprised by Wanda’s appearance, Tessa nonetheless politely nodded in
acknowledgment. As a result, everyone sat in the living room and the light conversation
began.
Wanda kept watching Tessa and Nicholas’ interaction, which fueled her jealousy the more
she looked at them. She gritted her teeth in silence while annoyed by Tessa’s presence.
Therefore, she questioned while feigning innocence. “Miss Reinhart, are you back because
of a concert?”
“No.” Tessa shook her head but did not explain much, for she should not wash her dirty
linen in public.
Since Wanda did not hear the answer she was expecting, the glint in her eyes turned
somber. Despite the displeasure, she knew that it would be suspicious of her to pry
further.
On the other side, Stefania and Tobias inquired about Horace’s condition, “How are you
feeling lately, Mr. Muller?”
“Me? I’m all good.” Horace smiled in response.
Stefania nodded before asking Wanda concernedly, “What about your new company?
How’s it going? Is anyone picking on you on purpose?”
“With Nicholas and Master Kieran’s help, everything’s going pretty well. I’m thinking of
going public in the second half of the year.” Wanda briefed on her plan to butter Stefania
up.
In fact, Stefania was genuinely happy for her. “Going public that quick? You are a capable
one, aren’t you?”
“I’m flattered, Mrs. Sawyer. It is all thanks to Nicholas, Master Kieran, and Grandpa.
Otherwise, things wouldn’t have been that easy.” A humble Wanda bit her lips.
However, her reply made Horace frown as he knew that his granddaughter was not
completely over Nicholas.

Meanwhile, a frowning Tessa was feeling uncomfortable as well. She could not help but
read between the lines on the account that Wanda kept mentioning Nicholas. Just as she
was deep in her thoughts, Wanda’s laughter rang in her ears.
“But I’m nothing compared to Miss Reinhart. She’s the toast of the town,” complimented
Wanda as she flashed an empty smile at Tessa.
At that, Tessa reciprocated with a faint smile, whereas Stefania genuinely agreed with
Wanda as she grinned. “You’re right. She’s literally a champ. Things are getting better for
her.”
The smile on Wanda’s face stiffened when she heard that. She stared at Stefania in
disbelief and her hands clenched into fists. What does she mean by that? Has she
accepted Tessa, that b*tch?
Before she could wrap her head around it, Tobias began praising Tessa. “She’s a hard-
working one. Stefania and I went to her concert, and many famous musicians had high
expectations for her.”
“Really?” Wanda could not force a smile any much longer.
Kieran, who seemed to have sensed something, nodded in affirmation. “Those musicians
were indeed impressed by Tessa’s work. Grandpa and I heard them.”
