Chapter 246

Sensing the situation was about to go south , Donald suddenly clutched his stomach and groaned , “ Ouch , my stomak hurts so bad . Jennifer , can you call the department head for me ? ”
Jennifer glanced at Donald’s pathetic attempt at acting and ignored him . Irene didn’t bother acknowledging Donald enter
“ Let’s talk outside , ” Jennifer said , stepping out of the room first . Irene followed her , slamming the door shut with a lous bang .
Unable to get out of bed and worried they might start fighting , Donald had no choice but to call Cathy for help
Outside the door , Irene said , “ As long as I’m here , there’s no way I’ll let Jonathan get tangled up with Teresa again ”
Jennifer sneered , “ As Teresa’s only sister , I won’t let her remarry your son either . So she can keep being bullied by a nasty old hag like you . ”
Irene’s face twisted in anger . She said , “ If Teresa were worth anything , I wouldn’t dislike her so much . But you know ther better than I do , don’t you ? She is lazy , spends money like it’s water , and is obsessed with designer brands
“ Sure , she’s pretty , but she’s not cut out for a proper life . Or maybe you’re just like he ?? ”
Jennifer scoffed , “ Oh , so you’re the perfect homemaker now ? Then why don’t you just live with your son and spare my sister the trouble ? Keep an eye on your son so he doesn’t ruin my sister’s life any further ”
With that , Jennifer turned to leave , unwilling to waste another second arguing with Irene .
Irene crossed her arms and smirked mockingly . She said , “ Donald always listens to Jonathan . Do you think someone like you has what it takes to marry into the Lynn family ? ”
Jennifer froze mid – step . She then turned back sharply , her gaze fierce . She said , “ Who cares about marrying into your family ? I’d be thrilled if Donald dropped the Lynn name altogether . ”
Irene sneered , “ Keep pretending . Everyone knows my son is the richest eligible bachelor in Nareigh right now . Donald’s got great prospects . If you’re not after his money , then what are you after ? ”
“ You’re disgusting ,” Jennifer snapped , her tone dripping with disdain .
Irene had never been called that in her entire life . It was the first time someone had dared to insult her so directly
Irene said , “ I always speak reasonably . Jonathan and Donald are both men of good character , but whether you and your sister are sincere , I can’t say . After all , your sister was married to Jonathan for over two years , and she didn’t even get pregnant once . ”
Jennifer noticed the flicker of longing for a grandchild in Irene’s eyes . Combined with Irene’s harsh judgment of Teresa Jennifer almost blurted out the truth that Teresa had already given birth to a son for Jonathan and was now carrying another child .
Finally , Jennifer clenched her fists to hold back . She thought , ‘ I can’t let Teresa endure more of this vile woman’s torment , if Irene knew the truth , she would undoubtedly try to keep the children while discarding Teresa ‘
Jennifer spoke up , “ You say my sister couldn’t get pregnant after two years ? Maybe the problem’s with your son . Why don’t you take your precious boy downstairs to the men’s clinic and get him checked out ? ”
Irene exclaimed , “ You ! ” Noticing Cathy rushing over , Irene grabbed her hand and said , “ Cathy , did you hear what Jennifer said earlier ? What did I ever do to her ? She just lashed out at me like I was her mortal enemy .”
Jennifer glanced at Cathy , who looked visibly torn . With her fiery personality on full display , Jennifer said sharply , “ Mrs. Lynn , if you don’t like me or my sister , then just tell Donald we’re not a good match . I’m done with this . ”
With that , she stormed off without another word .
