Chapter 551
“ You’re mistaken . It was just a chance encounter , ” Teresa said , then turned and walked away without another word .
Werner watched as Teresa walked away , then turned to Jonathan and asked , “ What’s going on between you and your ex wife ? ”
Jonathan did not explain . Instead , he asked Werner , “ Where’s Hayden ? ”
Werner replied , “ He has already gone back . ”
Jonathan asked , “ Which cabin are you in ? Let me upgrade you . ”
“ No need . Economy class will do , ” Werner said , turning to board the plane .
Jonathan glanced at Werner’s somewhat dejected figure but refrained from asking further .
Teresa pulled a light blanket over herself , settling down to sleep . Jonathan , having boarded , sat quietly beside her , careful not to disturb her .
Teresa’s eyes suddenly snapped open , and she said , “ The more I look , the more I see the resemblance between those two . ”
“ Who ? ” Jonathan asked .
“ Werner and Sanford look like they were cast from the same mold , ” Teresa remarked .
Jonathan’s hand paused on the document , and his brows furrowed slightly .
Teresa turned to Jonathan and asked , “ Just whose son is Sanford , really ? Is he your half – brother , or is he Donald’s brother ? ”
Jonathan recalled that the DNA test had been conducted using Hayden’s and Sanford’s samples . His expression turned icy as he said , “ I refuse to acknowledge him as my brother . ”
Noticing Jonathan’s clear dislike for Sanford , Teresa let the matter drop . She closed her eyes again to rest .
Once they arrived at Nareigh , Teresa and Jonathan went their separate ways .
Teresa’s secretary was already waiting to pick Teresa up .
Jonathan was heading back to Horizonlead Group while Werner was going home , so they shared a ride .
Werner noticed Jonathan giving him a few extra glances and asked , “ What’s up ? Is there something on my face ? ”
Jonathan looked away and suddenly remarked , “ You know , Sanford kind of looks like you .”
Werner stiffened . Then he forced an awkward chuckle and said , “ Is that true ? Like uncle , like nephew , they say ? ”
Jonathan retorted , “ Then how come I don’t look anything like you ? ”
Werner cleared his throat awkwardly and said , “ Come on now , how could Sanford and I possibly look alike ? ”
Werner arrived home and went inside .
Cathy grew anxious when she saw Werner return alone . “ Well ? Is everything settled now ? ” she asked .
Werner shook his head and said , “ The kid’s staying in Shaville . Jonathan made it clear that the kid couldn’t take the Lynn surname or return to the Lynn family . ”

Cathy said , “ Jonathan’s right , if they bring that illegitimate child back into the family , it would turn everything upside down . Wouldn’t that just drva . Irene mad ? ”
Werner frowned and said , “ You sound like you’ve got an issue with Irene . What’s up ? ”
Cathy sneered , “ After all that’s happened , she doesn’t even treat me like family . So why
should I treat her as one ? ”
Cathy was done discussing Irene with Werner and turned to ask him for money . She wanted to from home .
Werner retorted , “ Cheryl doesn’t even have a driver’s license . What’s she going to drive ? ”
Cheryl a car to make her life easier while living away
Cathy said , “ Cheryl’s already enrolled in driving lessons . You know how fast young people get their driver’s licenses these days It’ll only take about a month . She wants a Mercedes . Why don’t we just get her one ? ”
Cathy knew that Werner still had over 100 thousand in cash on hand . She thought , ‘ That’s enough for a Mercedes coupe for Cheryl ‘
Werner averted his gaze and said , “ Let’s just wait until Cheryl gets her license . No rush to buy her a car right now . ”
Cathy frowned and said , “ Ordering a car takes time , and then you have to wait for delivery . Let’s just order one for her now . This way , once she gets her license , she can hit the road right away . Wouldn’t that be great ? ”
Under Cathy’s scrutinizing gaze , Werner couldn’t evade and could only say , “ I’ll place the order for her in a couple of days . ”
