The next day Teresa went with Philip to his company Roc Group After ditching Evelyn he hit the jackpot by marrying a rich woman and then started his business
Not long ago,
Roc Group was still a big deal with a finger in the food and chemical fiber pies
But Teresa knew Philip all too well full of himself and quick to spend never thinking ahead It was what he got for his ways his just
desserts.
Now Roe Group was on a downward slide Teresa looked over the company s books flabbergasted to find they were over 1 5 million in the hole with employees hailing left and right She wondered how Philip had sunk so low
Teresa said If you re down with it I can take over the finances and get us back on track It ll take three to five years but we can wipe out the 1 5 million debt
Three to five years That long Philip was ants y Can t we pay it off faster
What are you thinking Your company s management is a disaster We need to tackle the root issues and make gradual changes Turning things around takes time money doesn t just fall from the sky Teresa said
If you trust me let me handle it Honestly it s optimistic to achieve that in three to five years That s the best I can do Teresa added
Philip didn t get Teresa s stubbornness Just ask Jonathan for help and our troubles will vanish without the long wait
You always want to depend on others What happens next time If you re 3 million in debt or even more will you call on Jonathan then Can t you think independently Teresa asked
At that Philip pressed his lips together silent
Teresa had no regrets about her decision First it wasn t right to have Jonathan pay off Philip s debts Second if the management style stayed the same future losses could be even worse
She thought Philip was too arrogant always looking for quick fixes but nothing good came easy
Out of options Philip reluctantly agreed to Teresa s plan

Miriam and Sherry both saw the comments and were furious eager to find out who was spreading these lies
Teresa pinned a comment The woman in the video isn t me It s my face superimposed on someone else s body Whoever s spreading these lies show your face and confront me
Some netizens believed Teresa, while others took the video as the truth. There were also those who joined in the rumor–mongering for fun, not considering the harm their actions could cause, especially to a woman like Teresal
Most of the followers were men claiming they had seen the video and asking for the link in the comments
II won t let any of you rumor mongers get away with it Those haters who are hiding behind your screens I won t let you tarnish my reputation Teresa typed her hands trembling with anger
Just as she was about to call the police they had already apprehended Jason the slanderer and issued a notice
Teresa had suspected Jason was behind the rumors but was amazed at how quickly the police had caught him in just one night. Moreover, all the posts about her had been removed.
Later Jonathan dialed Teresa and the answered The background was noisy it sounded like he was in his car with the faint distinct whole of a small town in Em b asia
