Teresa opened another can of beer, “Forget it.”
Miriam said, “Mike’s dad has money and power, his future will be smooth sailing, and you can have an easier life too, Teresa.”
Teresa sighed. “If I don’t want Michael anymore, I think he’d be better off living with anyone else than staying with me.”
er Teresa nor Miriam noticed Michael hiding behind the door. He had somehow woken up and only heard the part where Teresa said that if she did not want him anymore. He sniffed hard, wiping the tears from his eyes.
Jonathan needed to travel to Shaville on business. Before leaving, Irene insisted he return home for a meal.
This time, he went to Irene’s parents‘ house for a New Year’s Eve dinner since tomorrow was the New Year.
“Irene.” Irene’s sister, Heidi Lawrence, held Irene’s hand. Heidi admired the emerald bracelet on Irene’s wrist. “That’s a gift from Jonathan, right? It’s beautiful.”
Irene laughed. “He’s just so filial.
Heidi was envious. “Jonathan is not only filial, but he’s also a good earner. Edward should learn from him. Since it’s winter break, maybe Jonathan can arrange an internship for Edward at Horizonlead Group.”
“Got it. I’ll have Jonathan arrange it later,” Irene responded.
Heidi was delighted and chatted away with Irene, almost wanting to give the latter a shoulder massage. Heidi’s husband, George Lawrence, quickly poured Jonathan a cup of coffee.
Jonathan got up. “George, let me do it.”
George waved his hand. “Sit down. You’re a big boss now. We can’t have you serving us. Try it; it’s some great coffee I got from Xandaschuttes.”
Irene watched the scene with a sense of pride. As Irene and Jonathan were leaving after the meal, Heidi even packed them a gift; Irene accepted it.
Once in the car, Irene said to Jonathan, “Having money really makes a difference. See? Who in the family dares to look down on us? They even hold their breath around us.”
Jonathan said nothing, focusing on the documents on his phone. Irene sighed, recalling how she had to raise Jonathan alone after losing her husband. No relatives showed her respect, not even Heidi.
Irene remembered how Heidi often boasted about her good marriage and promising son. Now, it was still Irene’s son who turned out better.

“People change with your fortunes. When you’re poor, even your family looks down on you. Once you’re successful, everyone, including spouses, suddenly becomes friendly and asks for favors. Who doesn’t prefer the rich over the poor-” said Irene.
Jonathan seemed to chuckle a bit. “Yeah, that’s him. Could you pick him up from the airport and give him some gifts?”
Teresa replied, “You decide what to give; I have no idea what would be appropriate-” “I’ve already prepared it. Head over to Luviston Estates to pick it up.” Without waiting for Teresa’s response, Jonathan just hung up the phone.
Teresa was speechless and thought, ‘Why does he enjoy ordering me around? Can’t he see I’m stressed about my company’s issues? Besides, I’m his ex–wife! What kind of ex -husband asks his ex–wife to run errands for him?
‘Forget it. There’s no use worrying.‘ With that, she had no choice but to head out for a
