Chapter 1318
Always Been Yours
âItâs great that nothing happened.â âI was so scared just now.â âI covered my eyes and didnât dare look; I was afraid that I would have nightmares at night.â The crowd whispered among themselves.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the man had a change of heart toward Tessa, who had apologized for her actions. Though still a bit annoyed, he had cooled down significantly.
âYou know you have limitations, so donât cause trouble for others,â he lectured her sternly but with a kind heart. In the end, he sent her back to the staff, saying, âTake care of her. Not everyone can react as quickly as I did.â
âThank you, sir,â the staff replied and nodded, grateful for his help. During this time, Tessa smiled while remaining silent, but her eyes had a hidden agenda.
After seeing the man off, the staff immediately. checked on Tessa and asked with concern, âMiss Reinhart, are you okay?â
Others joined in, saying, âDo you want to go to the hospital for an examination?â
âIâm fine,â Tessa reassured them while scanning. the crowd for something.
Even though she didnât know what had. happened earlier in the crowd, she could sense that someone had deliberately pushed her onto the busy street.
Unfortunately, she couldnât find anyone suspicious after looking around. The staffâs voice came again.
âMiss Reinhart, perhaps I should take you to the hospital to get an examination.â
âNo worries, Iâm fine. That gentleman didnât hit me.â Tessa rejected the offer before urging everyone to leave. âWe need to head back to the hotel since the banquet is about to start.â The staff agreed since she seemed okay, and soon, the large group of people left in different cars. Not long after they left, Susan emerged from her hiding spot.
âTessa is truly lucky to survive something like that!â Susan watched as Tessa left, feeling pity while clenching her fists in anger.
For some reason, she remembered what Tessa had said to her in the theater. âSince I havenât done anything wrong, Heaven has shown me mercy. But you have, and youâll get whatâs coming for you!â
She didnât believe in karma, she only believed in taking matters into her own hands.
Even if she couldnât kill Tessa today, she was sure sheâd be successful someday. Susan silently swore to herself and gradually. calmed down afterward.
Although she wanted Tessa dead, she also knew that she couldnât make any moves for now. After all, this was Xerthania, the stronghold of the Sawyers. If she acted. recklessly without absolute certainty, she would definitely be discovered by Nicholas Sawyer.
She didnât want to end up in prison again before getting revenge.
Letâs just wait and see, Tessa Reinhart. As soon as Tessa got out of the car and arrived at the hotel, she saw Nicholas standing at the door.
She was slightly surprised to see the man walking straight toward her. âWhy are you here?â she asked.
âI was worried about you, so I came to check on you.â
Nicholas bent over slightly to help Tessa tidy up the loose hair around her cheeks and asked, âHow do you feel? Are you tired?â âIâm okay. I donât feel very tired.â
She smiled sweetly at him. Meanwhile, the nearby staff members watched their interaction and felt that the scene was too beautiful. He helped Tessa tidy up her clothes and continued to ask, âWas the performance smooth?â âIt was pretty smooth.â
Just as Tessa finished speaking, someone in the crowd couldnât help but speak up. âAre you sure?
Miss Reinhart almost got into another car accident just now.â
The voice wasnât very loud, but it was loud enough to be heard by Nicholas. His smile disappeared instantly, and he promptly found the person who spoke among the crowd.
âWhat happened?â he asked coldly. The person was taken aback, not expecting Nicholas to find him so quickly. âWhile we were waiting for our rides, someone behind us bumped into Miss Reinhart and pushed her onto the busy road.â As soon as those words were spoken, Nicholasâ expression darkened.
