Chapter 465
Jonathan gave Teresa a long, meaningful look. “Guess I was meddling,” he said, then turned and left first. Sanford, however, stayed behind.
Sanford said to Teresa, “Why not just use the lawyer I found for you?”
“No need, but thanks for thinking of me,” Teresa replied firmly. “You should go
too.”
Sanford turned to Evelyn. “Evelyn, I won’t butt in anymore. You’ve got a great daughter, Teresa.
“Last night, she was speeding after that jerk who hit and ran. Teresa was the one who got the injured person to the hospital.”
Hearing this, Evelyn looked at Teresa, her eyes brimming with tears.
After Sanford left, Evelyn took Teresa’s hand, feeling a pang of guilt. “Teresa, thank you. You’ve really been through a lot this time.”
Teresa’s eyes instantly filled with tears when she heard that. She pulled her hand back. “What are you planning to do with that 1 million dollars? Don’t invest it again and just save it for your retirement, okay?”
“No,” Evelyn said after thinking for a moment. “I want to give that 1 million dollars to you.” Teresa was stunned.
Evelyn was quiet for a while. “I still owe Jonathan money. I already gave you 600 thousand dollars before, and now with this 1 million, just give it all to
Jonathan.
“This was my fault for being too impatient. I shouldn’t have asked Jonathan for help in the first place. Anyway, make sure to thank him for coming all this way.”
Teresa thought for a few seconds. “I’ve already given him over 200 thousand dollars myself. With your money, that should almost pay off the 2.6 million dollars we owe him.”
“If it’s still not enough, I’ll sell Charlie’s car. I just want you to be able to face Jonathan with confidence.”
Teresa couldn’t quite understand. She thought, ‘Is Evelyn finally starting to think about my feelings?‘ She asked, “But what about you? You’ll have nothing left. What are you going to do next?”
Evelyn wiped her tears, then gave a helpless, self–mocking smile. “I still want to work in beauty. I’m thinking of taking Isabel to Gorthany. I’m not hoping to make millions anymore, just enough for the two of us to get by.
Evelyn looked at Teresa. “So, are you going to pick Jonathan, or that Sanford guy from earlier?”
“I’m not picking either of them,” Teresa said.
The next day, Teresa went to Horizonlead Group. She hadn’t seen Jonathan since he was busy, so she left her bank card with the receptionist and asked her to give it to him.
After his meeting, Jonathan found out Teresa had come to pay him back. He knew the money was from Evelyn, and gave Teresa a call.
“There’s no need,” Teresa replied. “It’s my mom who wanted to pay you back. She’s planning to take my sister to Gorthany. The 2.6 million dollars we owed you and she’s returning it now, so she can finally feel at ease.”
