SWNOVELS Chapter 1073
Chapter 1073 Jealous
“Mommy, you’re so beautiful tonight.” Gregory deliberately ignored Nicholas because Nicholas did not allow him to attend the banquet with Tessa. He prayed that he could grow up quickly so that he could snatch his mommy away from his bad daddy.
The little guy could not be bothered to hide his thoughts, so it was easy for the adults to see right through him, and they were all amused.
When Scott came, he saw the adults laughing and asked, “What are you talking about? Everyone seems to be quite happy.”
“Hi, Mr. Brooks.” Mona and Tessa greeted Scott politely when they saw him approaching. Nicholas also nodded at Scott. They all had small talks for a while, and others also came to congratulate Tessa.
Scott and Mona knew that Nicholas and Tessa needed some time alone, so they gave each other the eye and left. Although Gregory wanted to follow Tessa, he did not want her to be distracted from taking care of him. So, he followed Scott and Mona.
Nicholas was concerned for Tessa. As soon as no one was around, he put his arms around her and asked, “Are you tired? Do you want to rest for a while?”
“I’m not tired yet. I’ll tell you when I do.” Tessa knew he was worried, so she shook her head with a smile to ease his worries.
Soon, the media came over to ask for their pictures. While the banquet was not broadcasted live, their pictures were being uploaded on the internet, which attracted a lot of netizens.
“My God, this banquet is luxurious.”
“I’m really jealous. Not only Tessa has fame and fortune, but she also has such a handsome partner.”
“Even if I want to feel jealous, I don’t think I’m qualified for it.”
The netizens were all expressing their envious feelings toward Tessa online.
On the other hand, Susan was a mess. She had been watching the news for several days in a row, and they were all about Tessa—she hated it.
Everyone was touting that slut Tessa, and no one remembered Kathleen anymore.
“Tessa, what qualifications do you have to get to today’s position? You don’t deserve to live better than me!” She gnashed her teeth as she was speaking. She became angrier when she thought about how she had suffered a broken arm and could only recuperate at home.
“No one celebrates anything without my permission!” She then left the house without waiting for another second.
Soon, Susan appeared at Tessa’s banquet uninvited. She pretended to be there to congratulate Tessa, but in fact, she came so that everyone could notice her.
She wanted everyone to see that she was initially a member of the orchestra and that she should have also led a life like Tessa’s. But because of Eunice’s scheme, she broke her arm and was ignored by the orchestra.
When she finally saw how luxurious the banquet was in real life, her eyes turned red because of jealousy. That slut Tessa did not deserve this kind of banquet. Therefore, she made up her mind to stir things up.
However, just before she could act, she encountered obstacles. It turned out that Kellen discovered her and the unkind look on her face and stopped her with a frown.
“Why are you here?” Kellen questioned Susan. He knew that Susan was not on the invitation list.
It was not difficult to spot Kellen’s unwelcoming tone, but Susan was not bothered. She answered with a fake smile, “I’m here to congratulate Miss Reinhart.”
Without waiting for Kellen’s reply, Susan walked toward the charming Tessa, who was chatting and laughing in the crowd. As Susan got closer, she heard the group praising Tessa, which made her drown in her own jealousy.
At the same time, it was as if Tessa noticed a malicious gaze behind her back that she turned subconsciously, and coincidentally, her eyes collided with Susan’s dark eyes.
“What are you doing here?” Tessa asked with a frown while others cast inquiring glances at Susan.
Susan ignored the curious gazes and put on an artificial smile. “Aww, why? I came here to congratulate you.”
“Kind of you to come and congratulate me on purpose. Though, I have a lot of people congratulating me tonight.”
