101.Chapter 101
Shielding Teresa, Evelyn shoved Irene away. “How unreasonable! Teresa divorced Jonathan. You have zero reason to come after her, let alone lay a finger on her!”
Irene clenched her fingers. “I’m no shrew. Everyone has their pride. She’s the one crossing the line.”
“I taught her that; tit for tat is fair play. She’s crossed no line for speaking up. Rather, you deserved it,” stated Evelyn.
“Why, you…” Irene saw that Evelyn and Teresa were of one mind, so she grabbed her bag. “I have no words for you. Like mother, like daughter.”
Irene left. Evelyn turned to Teresa, who was frowning with something to say when Evelyn told her to get in the car. Evelyn had driven a Land Rover there. Teresa slid into the passenger seat.
“I saw her pointing at you and talking down to you from outside. Why didn’t you rebut her? Evelyn nudged Teresa’s head.
Teresa rubbed her head. “I did. I wasn’t letting her walk all over me. I’m no longer her daughter–in–law. She can’t push me around.”
“Wasn’t she? I bet if she wanted to hit you, you’d have stood there and let her! Who are you trying to fool?” came Evelyn’s speech.
Teresa snapped back, “I wasn’t planning to let her. I was getting ready to parry her attack, but you beat me to the punch.”
Shaking her head helplessly, Evelyn nudged Teresa’s head again. “You little rascal.” “Focus on your happy family; quit meddling in my business.” Teresa looked away. “I was on my way to the bank when I saw you. If not, do you think I care? Also, why’d your dad hand over his company to you after his business flopped?” commented Evelyn.
Long had she been raring to ask Teresa that, for she had wondered how Roc Group was renamed to Teresouth Group. Teresa revealed that Philip had gone abroad, but she had no idea where. She had cut off all ties with Philip.
Evelyn leaned back and guffawed. “He finally got what was coming to him. Branded as a dishonest debtor, his company went bankrupt, and he ran off with his tail between his legs. How satisfying!”
“You were married for so long; don’t you feel anything for him?” probed Teresa.
luck finding her, yet he hasn’t shed a single tear. That shows how heartless he is.”
“You should go easy on skin boosters. Your skin looks oily, not as radiant as before,” said Teresa.
“Us women will need to take care of ourselves, or we’ll age quickly,” Evelyn said, her
tone casual.
Teresa blurted out, “I don’t think that’s-”
A glare came from Evelyn as she interrupted, “Of course, you don’t. You never had kids.”
Teresa pursed her lips, staying silent. Evelyn, whether married or not, had loved dolling herself up, and Teresa had left Evelyn be. Despite the hardship of bringing up a child singlehandedly after the divorce, Evelyn had never stopped getting pricey cosmetics and handbags.
The phone rang. It was a call from home, so Evelyn answered it. “Hello? Hey, Isabel… There, there, sweetheart. I’m coming home now. My little angel missed me, huh?”
