Chapter 390 Family Talk
Everyone could see that Kathleen was pulling a prank on Tessa at this point.
“Kathleen, this isn’t a good idea. If Miss Hathaway sees this, she’ll be furious.”
“Yeah. Tessa needs to practice like the rest of us. Don’t waste her time.”
“Just get a crew member to handle this.”
Someone defended Tessa, but Kathleen ignored them. She had decided to order Tessa around today no
matter what.
When Hathaway came back later and saw Tessa doing menial jobs in the practice room, she frowned.
She went over and demanded, “Tessa, why aren’t you practising? What are you doing here?”
Everyone stopped practising and looked at Hathaway.

Kathleen interrupted before she could finish, “Mommy, my assistant is on leave today. She doesn’t really
do anything around here, so I asked her to be my assistant for the day. Not like she’s going to perform
anyway, so missing one day of practice is fine.”
“What do you mean missing one day of practice is fine?” Hathaway’s face fell immediately. “You could
have asked a crew member to help you. Tessa is not a maid. You can’t ask her to do stuff like this. What
did she do to you? Why are you doing this to her?”
Kathleen never expected her mother to scold her this openly, and her face fell. Hathaway didn’t care.
She warned, “Tessa is my student. No next time.”
Kathleen bit her lip. She didn’t want to agree to that, and Hathaway noticed it. She warned sharply, “Did
you hear me, Kathleen?”
Kathleen was scared of her mother when she got angry, so she answered reluctantly, “I did. I won’t do it
again.”
Hathaway stopped scolding her, and she asked everyone to go back to practice. Then she took Tessa to
her practice room next door. She looked at Tessa apologetically. “Don’t take it to heart. She’s a spoiled
girl.”
“It’s fine,” she lied. Tessa was feeling slightly upset.
But she threw that out of the window a while later, since she received Nicholas’ call the moment she
arrived home in the evening. He had disembarked and arrived at Dynasty Gardens.
The sight of him made her smile from ear to ear.
But just a moment after they talked, Gregory snatched the phone away. “Let me talk to Miss Tessa,
Daddy.” The screen rumbled for a moment, and Gregory showed up. “I miss you, Miss Tessa.”

Gregory still looked unhappy though. He pouted and complained, “It’s been so long. When can I see you
again?”
Tessa blinked and answered mysteriously, “Soon.” They hung up, and she called Timothy. They made
small talk first, then she asked about his work. “How’s work?” she asked.
Timothy only told her the good news. He smiled. “It’s fine, Tessa. Everything’s fine. I just got in touch with
some companies, and they want to work with us.”
“That’s good to hear.” She felt more at ease, and she went into his studies. “So what about your studies?
Everything is getting on track, so are you going back to school?”
“I was just going to tell you that. I want to give up on this chance to study abroad.” Timothy told her about
his plan. “After everything that’s happened, I think studying abroad or not makes no difference. I’d rather
stay here and work on my career. It’s getting on track now, and they need me for a lot of stuff.”
