Teresa couldn’t stand how Jennifer always questioned her with that condescending attitude . She snapped , “ I don’t ha
Jennifer said with a mocking tone , “ So you’re still hung up on him ? Like there aren’t other
fish in the sea ?
Teresa retorted , “ Will you just stop already ? Instead of interrogating me , if you want to help Sanford so much , then go ahead , as your into Shayis Isn’t that where you’ve always wanted to work ? ”
Jennifer shook her head helplessly and said , “ You’ll never truly understand pain until the knife cuts your flesh . When Jonathan and custody of your child , that’s when you’ll finally taste real suffering
“ Jonathan is suing Sanford . ”
Hearing this , Teresa was momentarily stunned .
Jennifer explained , “ I heard it from Donald . They did a DNA test using Sanford and Hayden’s hair samples , which proved Sanford is indeed part of the Lynn family .
“ But when Sanford went public with his accusations under his real name , it caused quite a scandal and had a significant negative impact on Jonatha
“ Jonathan has already issued a cease – and – desist letter , and from what I can tell , he intends to sue Sanford for defamation and spreading malicio
rumors . ”
Teresa fell silent for a few seconds . She pondered , ‘ Jonathan’s well within his rights to sue . No one would tolerate such malicious stander against their family .
“ Yorick has already passed away . Yet Sanford accused him of abandoning his wife and child . Irene is Yorick’s lawful wife all along , so where does this “ abandonment ” nonsense even come from ?
‘ How low can Sanford get , slandering Yorick when he’s no longer here to defend himself ? ”
Seeing that Teresa remained silent , Jennifer pressed on , “ Jonathan is such a heartless bastard , and you’re still hung up on him ? Just wait , when the truth about Mike comes out , Jonathan and Irene will be coming for you .”
With that final warning , Jennifer turned and walked out .
Teresa’s legs suddenly gave way beneath her . She slumped into a chair , forcing herself to calm down and think things through . She thought , “ if one day I have to go to court with Jonathan over Mike , so be it .’
After leaving Teresa’s office , Jennifer sat down at a café across from Evelyn .
Evelyn was leaving Nareigh with Isabel . Evelyn’s latest medical checkup results had come back clear , confirming she was perfectly fine . She was now ready to take Isabel and strike out on their own .
Since Teresa and Jennifer both had their own lives in , Nareigh , Evelyn didn’t want to burden either of them . Deep down , she was still fiercely independent and refused to become a mother who constantly relied on her children for everything .
Evelyn looked at Jennifer and said softly , “ My flight’s tonight . I’ve already had a long talk with Teresa , but before I go , there are a few more things I need to tell you .”
Jennifer looked at Evelyn with a blank expression and said coldly , “ We have nothing to discuss . But since you insist , let me ask you : why would you bother clearing Jonathan’s name ? Do you honestly think you matter to him at all ?
Evelyn sighed helplessly . “ Just a few words , no trouble at all . ”

Jennifer sneered , “ It’s precisely because you’re that kind of mother that your children always end up getting hurt . ”
Evelyn chuckled instead of getting angry . She said , “ Hannah , you know how I am . If anyone ever hurts you and Teresa , I’ll be the first to stand up for you . ”
Jennifer asked , “ Then why are you meddling in the Lynns ‘ family business ? ”
Evelyn looked at Hannah and said gently , “ How can you say this is someone else’s family ? Now that you’re married to Donald , you’re part of the Lynn family . Jonathan is Donald’s cousin , so you really should speak up in his defense , too . ”
Jennifer shot back, “ And what exactly am I supposed to say ? Irene’s father ruined my wedding , and now you expect me to be the bigger person and speak up for her ? Never .
