Kia Kisreich Belly Kancun , the old lady’s adopted daughter , had just come back from her business trip , she didn’t buy for a second that trong n
really her mom’s daughters ,
My mom is Fiona . Here’s a photo of her when she was young – we look exactly the same . Flow could this be fake ? Heidi said . “ We’re transferring her la another hospital to get her the best treatment . ”
Petty agreed to the transfer , but only if they paid her a transfer fee of 300 thousand dollars .
trene scoffed , “ You’re her adopted daughter , Why should we give you any money ? After the accident , we didn’t even blame you for not taking good care of Mom . You should be grateful for that . ”
“ Why are you blaming me ? Isn’t your son the CEO of Horizonlead Group ? ” Betty shot back . “ My mom ended up like this because of his girlfriend . Your son should take responsibility . ”
‘ Girlfriend ? ‘ Irene was completely confused , ‘ When did Jonathan get a girlfrien
Betty added , “ Last time , he came with a pretty woman named Teresa . They even left together . ”
Irene’s face instantly darkened . Heidi noticed Irene’s expression and tugged at her arm. “ Irene , what’s going on ? Why are you bringing up Jonathan’s ex- wife again ? ”
“ Ugh , his ex – wife is nothing but trouble . I’m going to deal with her , ” Irene fumed , turning to leave .
Teresa was with Evelyn , and they’d already found a lawyer – planning to get Charlie at least twenty years behind bars . Just then , Irene called Teresa , saying she wanted to meet at the hospital right away .
Teresa frowned and said to Evelyn , “ I’m heading out for a bit . ”
“ Where are you going ? Who just called? Was that Jonathan’s mom ? I thought I heard her voice , ” Evelyn asked , worried .
Teresa didn’t deny it . “ She wants to meet me at the hospital . ”
“ Which hospital ? The one where Jennifer works ? Let me go with you- ”
“ No need , I’ll go myself , ” Teresa replied .
Still uneasy , Evelyn waited until Teresa went downstairs , then pulled out her phone and made a call .
Teresa had already made it to the hospital , taking the road that ran close to the Lynn residence . She didn’t see Jonathan’s car and just kept on driving .
When Teresa arrived at the hospital , both Irene and Heidi were there . Teresa gave them a slight nod , treating it as a greeting and nothing more .
Irene didn’t even look at Teresa , just stared coldly at the old lady lying in the hospital bed . Her voice was sharp as a knife . “ I heard my mother ended up like this because of you . ”
Teresa replied , “ Your son told me himself – she’s not his real grandmother . ”
Irene said , “ Oh , so she’s not his grandmother ? Then who is she ? That’s a good one . I’m his mother , but he doesn’t talk to me . He talks to you ? How many times have I told you to leave him alone ?
“ He’s almost thirty – one . He’s not getting any younger . Are you planning to cling to him until he’s fifty or sixty ? I’ve seen shameless women before , but you really take the cake . ”
naine le him . He came to me other than this , we barely talks . And I wasn t the one who hit me old lady Ingalees

2 step fight theret frene pointed at Temsa , her voice tow and furious . “ You’re not leaving until you explain yourself properly today .
teresa turned back , her face expressionless . “ I’ve already explained everything . What else do you want to know ? ”
trene marched right up to Teresa , glaring at her small face and jabbing a finger at her . “ You wretch ! Look at that coquettish face !
Teresa curled her lips into a mocking smile . “ Thanks for the compliment . You’re still looking good yourself , Cathy , Ever thought about finding a handsome old man to keep you company ? ”
“ What did you just say ? ” Irene was so furious that she could barely get the words out . But before she could finish , footsteps echoed in the hallway . Jennifer strode in , with Donald right behind her .
Jennifer had rushed over after getting a call from Evelyn . She stepped in front of Teresa , blocking her . “ What are you trying to do to Teresa ? ”
“ What am I doing ? Maybe you should ask what she did to my mother ! ”
Jennifer glanced at the old woman in the bed , noticing the resemblance to Genevieve . “ It nothing to do with it . Don’t take it out on her . Teresa , let’s go . ”

Jennifer reached for Teresa’s wrist , but Irene snapped , “ No one’s leaving until she explains h
Jennifer shot Irene a look of utter disbelief . “ What do you want , you old hag ? Teresa isn’t your daughter – in – law anymore . You don’t get to push her
around .”
Irene pointed at Donald . “ Listen to your wonderful wife . She just called me an old hag . No manners at all .”
Donald sighed and put an arm around Jennifer’s waist . “ Jennifer , let’s just go . We can talk about this later at home . ”
Jennifer shrugged off his arm . “ Why are you always so silent ? Do you know why your parents never stand up to Irene ? Because you’ve all let her walk all over you . ”
Donald’s face darkened instantly , anger flashing in his eyes .
“ Let’s go , ” Teresa said softly as Jennifer didn’t seem to notice his anger . Teresa hadn’t expected Jennifer to come and didn’t want her here .
A laugh burst out from behind , and Heidi jumped . Irene could be seriously unsettling sometimes . She turned around and asked , “ What’s so funny ? ”
Irene quickly covered her mouth , stifling her laughter and shaking her head . “ Just look at Donald’s wife , acting all tough with me .
“ What does she have to brag about ? The wedding , the drinks , and even the hotel – my son paid for it all . People really do end up with their own kind . ”
Jennifer couldn’t take it anymore and sneered , “ You’re right , people really do end up with their own kind . With a mother like you , no wonder your son turned out so cold and heartless .
“ He kicked Teresa out with nothing . Now that he’s rolling in money , what’s wrong with giving her a little compensation for all the pain ? ”
“ Jennifer .” Teresa tried to pull her away , her voice low and tense , not wanting Jennifer to lose it . “ Let’s just go . ”
“ Teresa , I’ll tell them what you never say . ” Jennifer shook off Teresa’s hand and stared straight at the furious Irene .
“ You witch . You’re cruel enough to hurt Teresa , Jonathan divorced her and left her with nothing – she walked away with not a cent . And she even—
Jennifer paused and then switched gears . “ When they got married , our family was way better off than yours . After the divorce , he struck it rich , but Teresa was left with nothing and wasted years of her life . So who’s really shameless here ? Everyone can see the truth . ”
