Evelyn’s words trailed off as she spotted someone approaching .
“ Mom , ” Jennifer called out , and then , she said coldly , “ What are you doing here with Teresa’s ex – husband ? ”
Evelyn lowered her head in guilt . “ Jonathan and I were just casually chatting .”
Jennifer’s eyes landed on the bank card on the table , and she seemed to get the picture . She pulled Evelyn up from her seat .
After that , Jennifer turned to Jonathan and said , “ Thanks for your kindness .
“ But you’re not Teresa’s husband anymore . Stop putting her in a tough spot . Don’t give her any more hope , and don’t meet with anyone from our family alone again . ”
Jonathan frowned . Before he could say anything , Jennifer had already led Evelyn away .
Evelyn got into Jennifer’s car . With her eyes brimming with tears , she looked at Jennifer .
It only hit Evelyn after she sat in the car that Jennifer actually called her “ Mom ” just before .
Evelyn said , “ Hannah , what did you just call me ? You finally- ”
“ Ms. Davis ,” Jennifer cut her off , pulled over , and turned off the car .
Jennifer continued , “ What exactly are you trying to do ? Why are you still meeting up with Teresa’s ex ? Are you hoping to get money from him and spill the truth about Mike ? ”
Evelyn shook her head . “ You misunderstood me , Hannah . Jonathan offered me money , but I didn’t take it . I just saw he still cares about Teresa , and honestly , I can’t stand seeing them like this . ”
Jennifer let out a cold laugh . “ No wonder you always get taken advantage of . Do you actually feel sorry for men ? After everything they’ve put you through , haven’t you still learned ? ”
Evelyn fell silent , not daring to argue back . After all , she hadn’t been there as a mother all these years , and the guilt weighed on her .
She said , “ Charlie was arrested , so I asked Jonathan to help me find a lawyer . He agreed right away . He is always willing to help me , no questions asked.”
Jennifer was speechless . “ Why did you ask him for a lawyer ? Why not ask Teresa or me ? You act like your own children are gone or something . ”
Evelyn sighed and said , “ Hannah , you’re misunderstanding me again . That’s not what I meant . just- ”
Jennifer interrupted her . “ Alright , I don’t care what you mean . Teresa’s ex has nothing to do with her , or with us .
“ Whatever is happening to him , he brings it on himself . He is rich and powerful . He doesn’t need our pity .
“ Teresa is just stupid and too soft – hearted , always letting her ex – husband lead her around by the nose . ”
Evelyn said , “ Hannah , don’t talk about Teresa like that . If it weren’t for her , Charlie wouldn’t have been caught this time ,
“ I used to think Teresa was immature , but maybe that’s my fault as her mother . ”
Jennifer let out a cold laugh . “ What about me ? had been missing for years , all alone out there . It took everything I had to get where I am now . Did you ever once think about my feelings ? ”
Evelyn replied , “ Hannah , how could I not care about your feelings ? I want to consider both of you and Teresa . “
“ Then just shut up . ” Jennifer gripped the steering wheel tightly with her slender fingers .

She said , “ My wedding is right around the corner . This is my dream wedding . Are you doing this on purpose to see me become the laughingstock of the whole city ? Do you want me dead ? ”
“ Hannah .” Evelyn was startled by Jennifer’s outburst .
Jennifer forced herself to calm down , trying to steady her emotions .
She took a deep breath . Her face was cold and completely expressionless .
She said , “ If you still see me as your daughter , then keep your mouth shut and stay out of it . You come to my wedding , and after that , I have nothing more to do with you . ”
