The moment Teresa finished speaking , there was a sharp slap . Then Jennifer trapped back to reality — she’d lost contist and actually dapped Teresa
across the ce
Jennifer had never hit her Teresa’s hand also flew up , trembling with the urge to hit back .
Jennifer stared at Teresa in disbelief . “ Are you really going to hit me back ? ”
Teresa took a deep breath , eyes locked on Jennifer . After a tense moment , she finally lowered her hand . “ Move . Don’t block my way the sad coldly .
then turned to leave .
Jennifer stood frozen for a moment , then rushed after Teresa and caught her at the conner .
“ Teresa , I lost my temper just now . I shouldn’t have hit you , but you provoked me . You know how hard it’s been for me , how much struggled . I’m your sister , your family . How could you talk to me like that, even push me ? ”
Jennifer had been raised by Genevieve after being adopted , Genevieve was strict about her manners . Teresa’s behavior just now made her feel rude . which was why she lost control and hit her .
Teresa turned around with a cold laugh . “ So , what have I said wrong ? What have you actually achieved on your own , Jennifer ? If you were half as cap as you pretend , you’d have been in Shaville and made a name for yourself . I’d respect you then ..
“ But you’re the one who said you wouldn’t leave , told me to go , , and then asked me back . Now you’re enjoying all the perks at Narigh , but none of it is because of your own effort . You want my respect ? No way ”
Jennifer’s temper flared as she let go of Teresa . “ Oh , you’ve got some nerve calling me out . How do you think Teresouth Group got started ? Your e- husband didn’t help at all , is that it ? ”
Teresa shot back , “ He definitely helped me a lot , and I’ve never tried to hide that . But I always thought you were so amazing , Jennifer Turns out you had to ask Donald for money just to buy a house . ”
Jennifer’s brows knitted together . “ What do you mean , I asked him for money ? He gave it to me on his own , and I told him I’d pay him back , even if it
takes a while . ”
“ Oh , sure , you’ll pay him back . Funny , because Donald’s mom already called me , saying he bought you a house before you two even got married . If it weren’t for that , Donald could’ve bought himself a better car instead of settling for an Audi A7 , ”
Jennifer finally pieced together why Teresa was so upset , First , Sanford proposed to her , for reasons no one could figure out
Second , Teresa found out Donald paid for Jennifer’s house , and it was Cathy who spilled the beafis . But she didn’t know how Donald’s parents found out . There was no way Donald would’ve told them himself .
Jennifer snapped back to her senses . “ Sanford proposed to you ? I had no idea , I’ll ask him about it later .
“ And I didn’t know Cathy would call you . I don’t want anyone looking down on me — I do have my pride . I’ll pay Donald back right away, okay ? ”
“ Fine , ” Teresa shot back . “ Evelyn gave you about 295 , thousand dollars – just in time to pay back your future husband . Talk about perfect timing ”
“ Have you said enough ? Do you have to keep tearing me down like this ? I’m your sister . Could you be kind to me ? ”
“ So , besides relying on others , what else can you do ? Tell me , what are you actually good at ? ”
“ Huh ? Who do you think I did all that for ? ” Jenniler shouted .
Teresa didn’t back down . Jender was furious , but Jeresa was just as mad – years of pent – up anger a
er and resentment finally boiling over .
She pulled out her phone right in front of Jennifer and questioned , “ You wanna settle accounts with me right now ? Go ahead , now ! ”
