Accidentally Pregnant After Divorcing The Billionaire (Jonathan and Teresa) novel Chapter 431

Chapter 431

Chapter 431

Jennifer stared at Teresa, finally noticing the bracelet on her wrist. She frowned, “When did you get that bracelet? Looks fine–how much did it set you back?”

Teresa scoffed, “It’s not like you paid for it.”

Jennifer pressed her lips together, remembering the other deputy director in her department, who always bragged about the bracelet her husband bought her for over 30 thousand.

Looking at Teresa’s bracelet, which was nicer than her colleague’s, Jennifer pretty much figured it out. “Your ex gave it to you, didn’t he? So, just because he gave you a bracelet, you’re ready to throw away your peaceful life and tell him everything?”

Teresa shot back, “So what do you want me to do? Mike needs his dad. Even on his birthday, he has to tiptoe around and ask me if his real dad can be there. Don’t you think your nephew deserves better?

“He’s just a kid. As long as we’re there for him, isn’t that enough? I’ve worked so hard to get here. Donald and I haven’t even gotten married yet. If you come clean now, have you even thought about how I feel?”

Teresa let out a cold laugh. “You keep saying it’s for me, but honestly, it’s always about you.”

“I’m only thinking about myself? That’s a joke,” Jennifer said, not bothering to argue anymore. She glanced at her phone. Yesterday, she’d called Evelyn; Evelyn said she’d come over.

Speak of the devil–Evelyn had just arrived downstairs. The security guard was stuck, not sure whether to let her in or stop her.

Teresa didn’t want to make things difficult for the staff, so she told them to let Evelyn in.

“I heard from Jennifer that you’re planning to come clean about Mike. I don’t agree with you doing that,” Evelyn said.

Teresa felt her heart go cold. “And what right do you have to disagree, Ms. Davis? Who are you to say no?”

Evelyn looked guilty. “I know you blame me for taking Jonathan’s money and only telling you after I lost it all. That really was my fault.”

“What?” Jennifer, who hadn’t known about this, shot back sarcastically at Evelyn, “Do you even know how to be a mother? Why would you spend your daughter’s ex–husband’s money?”

Evelyn, knowing she was in the wrong, silently pulled out a bank card and handed it to Teresa. “There’s a million dollars in here. I’ll pay back the remaining 1.5 million bit by bit.”

Teresa frowned, “Where did you get that much money?”

Evelyn answered honestly, “I sold my house in Fernlandia, and some jewelry too.”

Teresa went quiet, not sure what to say.

Jennifer took a deep breath. She really didn’t care whether Evelyn sold the house or not. “What matters now is that Teresa wants to come clean about. Mike. You’re her mom–talk some sense into your daughter,” she said coldly, turning her back on Teresa and Evelyn.

Evelyn sat down next to Teresa. “You need to listen to her. She’s right. Have you even thought about the consequences if you spill the truth now? What if the Lynn family calls off the wedding?”

“Who cares?” Teresa replied, her face blank. “It’s not my wedding on the line.”

“See?” Jennifer spun around and pointed at Teresa. “She treats me like I’m the enemy. She just can’t stand to see me happy.”

“Oh, please. Who’s really the one who doesn’t want the other to be happy? Jennifer, you’re not a part of our family. Didn’t you say you were done with the Johnston family?

“If that’s the case, you shouldn’t have come back to Nareigh or called me your sister. Why do you have to meddle in everything? Don’t you get tired of it?”

“Teresa,” Evelyn frowned, “is that any way to talk to your sister?”

“Why can’t I say it? She’s the selfish one here. She’s spending the money Donald’s parents gave him for a car and claiming she’s buying me a house. I bet she just wants to keep a backup plan for herself.”

“You!” Jennifer’s face went pale with anger. “Teresa, ever since your ex showed up, you’ve been more and more out of line.”

“Alright, that’s enough, both of you,” Evelyn cut in, her head pounding, stopping the sisters before things got worse. “Let me say something fair.

“Even if you want to tell Jonathan the truth, you need to wait until Jennifer and Donald have their marriage certificate and the wedding is over. It won’t be too late to say it then.

“That way, if you want to move on someday, no one will think you’re a woman of bad character.”
