Teresa said , “ Michael and I are leaving tonight . I’m just so exhausted from all the hiding and overthinking . There are unbreakable family ties I simply can’t sever . I don’t want to deal with it anymore .
“ Gary is Jonathan’s brother , and I have no right to stop him from telling Jonathan the truth . If he wants to say something , that’s his business .
Sherry fell silent . Finally , she took Teresa’s hand again . “ Teresa , you’ve always been so kind to me , treating me like a friend . If it weren’t for you , I would never have gotten together with Christian .
“ No matter what happens this time , I’m ready . Even if Mr. Lynn discovers the truth and holds Christian accountable , I’ll accept it . After all , that’s the price
we have to pay . ”
“ I don’t think he will . You don’t have to worry so much , ” Teresa said , patting Sherry’s hand .
“ I hope so ,” Sherry forced a smile , trying not to weigh Teresa down .
Sherry could see clearly that Teresa was truly exhausted , which was why she had chosen to leave . On the surface , Teresa seemed calm and composed , but deep down , she couldn’t possibly stay at ease .
Now that Gary has spilled the beans , it was not just him involved . Sherry , Miriam , and Cheryl were all implicated . None of these could avoid what was coming , yet they were all innocent . They were her dearest friends , some cherished as if they were sisters .
But at this point , even Teresa herself couldn’t control the situation any longer . Moreover , she had broken Jonathan’s heart time and time again . She was all too aware that there was no turning back with Jonathan .
Meanwhile , at Horizon lead Group . After the meeting ended , Jonathan returned to his office and saw Yalena waiting at the door . She was overly dressed and trying too hard to make an impression . The sight made his already solemn expression turn into one of blatant disgust .
Jonathan’s eyes narrowed . “ Who let you in ? ”
“ Mrs. Lynn told me to come check on you and show you more care , ” Yalena said shamelessly , trailing behind Jonathan as she followed him in .
“ Get out , ” Jonathan said coldly .
Yalena said , “ Mr. Lynn , I truly like you and genuinely care about you . Please , just give me a chance , okay ? ”
Jonathan’s face was ice – cold . “ The last person who said that to me ended up behind bars . ”
Yalena scoffed instead of getting angry . ‘ This man is utterly impossible to get through to , ‘ she thought . ‘ If it weren’t for his good looks and money , who’d even want to marry a divorced man ? ‘
Yalena said , “ Mr. Lynn , you know what ? I think you’re quite pathetic . You still love Teresa , right ? But does she love you ? No. Do you even know what she’s done to you ? Maybe when you find out , you’ll be devastated . Maybe then you’ll see me . ”
A palpable chill filled Jonathan’s eyes . “ I don’t need an outsider like you commenting on my relationship with her . I won’t say it again . Get out . ”
Yalena snapped , “ Fine , I’ll leave . You’re still not over Teresa , are you ? I’ll make you see who truly loves you . She doesn’t love you . ”
Before Yalena could continue her outburst , Jonathan had already made the call , and two security guards promptly escorted her out . walk out on my own ,” Yalena snapped at the security guards .
ds off . I can
Yalena sneered at Jonathan’s retreating figure . “ Mr. Lynn , you have all the wealth in the world , yet you can’t accept that she doesn’t love you . How pathetic . Was I wrong ? ” She laughed mockingly and maniacally .
With a deranged laugh , she turned to leave . But in that instant , her eyes brimmed with barely contained venom .

She thought , Jonathan , you’re treating me like this now , but I’ll make you utterly obsessed with me . Just wait , tonight will be Teresa and her sour demise . You’ll finally understand true pain and the bitter taste of having ignored me .
