Chapter 655 Huge Feast
It was no surprise that Timothy and Tessa’s expressions turned sour after that. Tessa, in particular,
seemed especially furious. She thought that Kathleen had changed by then, but it seemed like she was
still the same idiot from before. In the past, Tessa didn’t mind it when Kathleen attacked her personally.
However, she was offended now that Kathleen had tried to bully her brother.
“I think you must’ve misunderstood something, Kathleen. My brother is doing this out of his kind
intentions. Furthermore, I often tell him that you guys are really nice to me.” Tessa spoke up
protectively. “You might not know this, but my brother and I have always been each other’s pillar in the
family, and we haven’t been able to meet for a long time because we’ve been staying in different
countries. That’s why he wants to thank everyone for taking care of me,” Tessa explained.
Edward stepped forward to speak for them as well. “You guys might think that Miss Reinhart’s brother
looks really young, but he’s actually a successful businessman who currently owns a company with a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtnet worth of more than tens of millions.” Everyone gasped in surprise when they heard this. Timothy
was just a twenty-something-year-old, after all. He was still young.
“That’s impressive,” someone commented.
“Well, his sister’s really talented, so I bet he’s talented in his own ways too!” another one said.
“I still think it’s quite impossible for someone like him to exist.” When Gregory heard all the sighs of awe
around him, he spread his lips into a proud grin. “Uncle Timothy is amazing. You have no right to bully
Uncle Timothy, you bad woman!” The woman he was trying to scare was none other than Kathleen.
Kathleen’s expression turned grim, whereas Timothy was floored by how adorable Gregory’s
expression was at that moment. On top of that, he was touched by the boy’s words. Tessa felt just as
touched to see her son speaking up. She ruffled Gregory’s black hair as she shifted her gaze back to
Kathleen. “Of course, it’s fine if you don’t want to attend the gathering. You’re a busy woman, right? I
won’t force you to come,” she uttered.
Kathleen’s expression turned even angrier after that. Tessa’s words were indirectly indicating that
Kathleen had never been of much help to her and that Kathleen had only ever caused her trouble. The
rest of the members understood the underlying meaning behind Tessa’s words, but they didn’t say
much.
Even though Kathleen was Hathaway’s daughter, most of the members preferred spending time with
Tessa. They felt even more disgusted after what Kathleen had said and done earlier. On the other
hand, Tessa had never been a show-off in front of them. Yet, Kathleen kept finding ways to attack
Tessa, which only increased the tension in the group.
At that moment, the air around them turned cold as silence filled the room. Finally, it was Mona who
stepped forward to shatter the awkwardness. “It’s so rare for Timothy to buy us a meal. But, as a friend,
I’ll have to be there! I want a huge feast tonight, Timothy. Give me the best and only the best!” she said.
“Of course! It’s going to be a huge feast!” Timothy chuckled. Group Two’s members supported their
lead violinist and quickly expressed interest in joining. “We’ll go too, Timothy,” one said.
“You’ll have to prepare a huge room, or it wouldn’t be able to fit us all,” another one commented.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“There are two groups here, so many of us. You’ll need a whole hall for this,” another said. A few
members from Group One who had a good relationship with Tessa also giggled and agreed to be there.
Timothy beamed as he responded to each one of their comments, and Tessa expressed her gratitude
for everyone’s support.
Kathleen was the only one who stood in the corner, her face turning green with anger. She glared at
Tessa as if she wanted to eat her up. In the end, she had to rush off before having breakfast.
No one else seemed bothered by her departure. Instead, they simply chuckled to themselves before
they continued with their breakfast. Right then, Mona edged closer to Tessa while whispering into her
ear. “I thought Kathleen had changed for the better after she tried getting closer to you. I can’t believe it
was all an act. I wonder what triggered her today—she threw her façade out the window this time.”
“You don’t have to worry about her because she’s unimportant. Hurry up and eat!” Tessa didn’t waste
the slightest bit of her attention on Kathleen. Perhaps she knew that Kathleen was acting all along.
Mona nodded, and she no longer talked about Kathleen after that. Meanwhile, Kathleen had been
storming out of the place when she bumped into Hathaway.
