Miriam comforted Teresa, reminding her that while she had lost a despicable father, she had gained the company. Though it was struggling, the opportunity to revamp it felt almost like a fresh start.
Teresa agreed with Miriam. She had acquired the land, the prime location, and the storefront. There was no reason to fear starting anew.
Sherry decided to join Teresa at Teresouth Group and asked, “What about Michael?”
Michael quickly responded, “Mommy, you go ahead. I’ll stay home and be good.”

Google recited, “To conduct a DNA test, you need to collect a sample from the person, such as their hair or personal belongings, and take it to a hospital for testing. This will help determine if they’re your biological father.”
Michael didn’t really get it. Grasping the money from his piggy bank, he rushed out of the house to catch a taxi, heading to Horizonlead Group which was twenty minutes
Another receptionist answered, “Could he be Mr. Lynn’s son? He looks a lot like him.”
