Chapter 210

The affairs of the Sawyer Family were not something ‘revor could meddle in. Therefore, he kept silent regarding that matter. He planned to comfort Tessa a bit more before asking her to leave. It would not be good for her tò stay here for too long.

Before he could speak a word, a sharp female voice interrupted him. That person said, “Tessa, you came! Why didn’t you let us know in advance?”

Tessa looked up. It was Queenie!

Although she rarely interacted with Queenie, they worked in the same orchestra, so it was only natural that she was familiar with Queenie’s character. Not wanting to speak to Queenie, she simply nodded indifferently in response.

Unfortunately, Queenie had no intention of letting Tessa off the hook just like that. She had been rehearsing in the training room earlier but came here specifically to laugh at Tessa when she heard that Tessa was here.

She laughed and uttered, “Tessa, to be honest, it’s impossible for you to be the assistant concertmaster with your qualifications. Your violin skills are only mediocre at best, so please don’t disgrace us. Not long ago, I heard that you were bragging about how you obtained this position because you were favored by Mr. Oswald. He feels too bad to say anything, so I will speak for him instead. He doesn’t value you at: all. He simply felt that you worked too hard, and you wouldn’t understand your value unless he gave you a chance to run into a wall.”

“Queenie, stop that.”

After watching how Queenie triumphantly mocked Tessa, the people who came out with Queenie couldn’t bear listening any longer and frowningly interrupted her. Her words were too much. Who among those in the orchestra did not know that Queenie was no match for Tessa, both in terms of behavior or violin skills?

Tessa treated everybody equally, regardless of whether she served as the assistant concertmaster or not. She was so good-natured that it was unbelievable.

On the other hand, Queenie began throwing her weight around as soon as she came to power. She constantly undermined and oppressed the others to establish her position.

The truth was that everybody was dissatisfied with the orchestra’s arrangements. But, what could they say? If they raised an objection, they would probably be forced to leave together with Tessa. It was not easy for any one of them to come this far, so there was no way they would act so foolishly.

Now that things had come to this, they could neither speak up on Tessa’s behalf nor openly go against Queenie. All they could do was try their best to help Tessa by stopping such unpleasant words from being uttered.

Tessa couldn’t care less at this point. Her heart was overflowing with faint disappointment. Even so, she refused to give up. Since Mr. Oswald can’t speak up for me and it’s the directive of the higher-ups, then I won’t trouble Mr. Oswald. I’ll go straight to the higher-ups. I want to know just who exactly is targeting me.

She said, “Mr. Oswald, I respect your decision. Nevertheless, can you tell me who is behind the acquisition of the orchestra? I want to speak with them myself.”

To her surprise, Trevor’s expression froze when he heard the question.

He had no idea how to tell her. If it was anybody but the Sawyer Group, then he would have had no qualms about telling her. Unfortunately, it just so happened to be the Sawyer Group. It would be a huge shock to her if I told her the truth.

Queenie smiled sweetly. “No way! Tessa, don’t you know the identity of our new owner? Mr. Oswald, didn’t you tell her?”

His expression darkened. He shot a look at her, indicating for her to shut up:

However, she ignored him completely and bluntly said, “Since Mr. Oswald refuses to tell you, then I’ll tell you. Our new owner is the Sawyer Group. So, do you understand now?”

Upon hearing the words ‘Sawyer Group, Tessa immediately froze in shock. She never imagined that the person who wanted to terminate her… would be the Sawyer Group.

That is to say, the directive to replace me and force me to leave the Heavenly Chorus Orchestra was issued by Nicholas? Or, is it somebody else within the Sawyer Family? Or, is it Stefania’s doing? I don’t understand. Why is the Sawyer Family doing this to me? Is it because I deliberately ignored Greg and made him upset? Or, is it because I’ve gotten close to Greg recently? Is it really because of such a minor and insignificant reason? Did the Sawyer Family spare no expense to acquire the orchestra just to drive me away and make me lose my job?
