Chapter 870 Catching Up With Scott
Susan had never received such humiliation ever in her life. Yet, Tessa, who shared the same situation of
having to start over in a new environment, was doing much better than her in every way. Not only was
Tessa accepted as an apprentice of the industry’s titan, but she was also sought after by many other
people. Just who does she think she is?!
The more Susan thought about it, the more she felt that it was unfair. At this point, Susan was on the
verge of going insane with the resentment she harbored against Tessa. However, she didn’t dare expose
even the slightest emotion she was experiencing, and could only clench her fist with all her strength. One
day, I will have Tessa go through a humiliation a thousand times worse than this! She stared daggers at
Tessa while determined to go through with her words.
Elsewhere, after Sofia finished giving her instructions, she gestured for the crowd to leave the room.
When the audience left, she brought Tessa and the other apprentices out from the practice room as well.
After Sofia’s group left the room, Tessa thought that the training for today was over, so she went over

not long after she had gotten into her car.
“I heard you’re back in Vienna. Are you free to have a meal with me?”
“Sure, just give me the address.” She accepted the invitation, as she thought back on how much of a
help Scott was during the previous incident.
After Scott told her the address of a certain restaurant, he ended the call.
Sitting beside Tessa, Gregory asked puzzledly, “Mommy, are we not going home?”
“Not yet. I’ll be bringing you to meet an old friend of Mommy’s. He has helped me out a lot in the past.”
Not long after, the mother and son arrived at the restaurant.
Noticing the mother-son pair walking in, Scott became slightly stunned. Once Tessa took a seat along
with Gregory, Scott looked at the latter and nodded as a greeting.
Tessa patted Gregory on his head and said with a smile, “Come on, Greg, say hello.”
“Hello, Mr. Brooks.” Gregory obediently greeted Scott with his black round eyes looking straight at him.
He looks handsome, but still not as handsome as Daddy, Gregory thought. For some reason, he felt the
way this man was looking at his mother was similar to how his father had looked at her. This won’t do. I
must help Daddy protect Mommy.
Naturally, Scott couldn’t have known what the little child was thinking. After Tessa’s introduction, a
gloomy look flashed in his eyes, but he soon pulled himself together and greeted Gregory gently. “Hello.
Is it okay if I call you Greg?”
In fact, Gregory was rejecting the man inwardly, as he knew this bad man was eyeing his mother.
However, as he was a well-behaved child, and couldn’t bear to put his mother in a tough position, he
reluctantly nodded in the end.
During the meal, Scott asked with concern, “When did you come back?”
“It’s been some time since I came back,” Tessa replied with a smile.
Nodding, Scott continued, “I only knew you’ve returned when I went and met Hathaway two days ago.”
He was immediately filled with regret after saying that, as he felt that talking about Hathaway would affect
Tessa’s emotions.
Just as Scott was about to say something, Tessa asked with concern in her tone, “Is Miss Hathaway
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmalright?”
“She is. She’s been fully focusing on the orchestra these days.” Seeing that Tessa didn’t seem to mind
when Hathaway was brought up, Scott told her about what Hathaway’s situation was in general with
Tessa nodding occasionally. However, he himself didn’t want to continue the topic after a while, so he
changed the topic with a smile. “I heard that Sofia took you in as her apprentice a while ago?”
Tessa immediately knew that it was probably Hathaway who had told Scott the news, so she nodded and
admitted to it. “It’s just as you heard.”
“So, how does it feel to have Sofia as your mentor?” With a concerned expression, Scott looked at
Tessa.
Tessa knew Scott was worried about her. She smiled. “It’s going well. Although Miss Sofia is strict, I know
she’s doing it for my sake.”
Noticing Tessa wore a relaxed expression, Scott heaved a sigh of relief as he said, “Glad to hear that. I’m
relieved to see you’re taken in by someone amazing. Before this, I was worried you might not have a
place to go, so I wanted to introduce you to a few orchestra groups.”
