246.Chapter 246
Cathy panicked and called out to Jennifer hurrying to follow her But Irene grabbed her wrist again, stopping her in her
wacks
nene said. “Just look at her What kind of woman behaves like that? Donald could do so much better. Tell him to stop chasing after her and find someone worth his time”
Irene complained inside. Senously does the Lymm family owe the two sisters a delfer something? Why is everyone so fxated on them?
Catty pulled her hand from Irene’s grip and sard helplessly, “Irene, what can I do? It’s their decision. If Donald’s made up his mind, there’s nothing I can do to stop him”
“Oh, Cathy” Irene caled out in frustration
A series of knocks echoed through the room. Jennifer called out, “Who’s there?”
Cathy stepped in, looking a bit flustered. She said, “Jennifer, I just wanted to explain something. Irene has always been blunt. Please don’t take her words to heart.
*Jennifer I don’t have anything against you or Teresa. Back when Teresa married Jonathan, we got along well. Even Donald and his sister were close to her.”
Jennifer said, ‘Irene said my sister and I are after your family’s money. What a joke! We haven’t even said a word about her, but she’s already calling us uncultured. Honestly, I doubt she even knows the meaning of the word ‘manners.”
Cathy said. That’s just how Irene is.” Deep down, she thought to herself, Jennifer isn’t exactly someone to mess with
either
Still, Cathy knew Donald well. Donald was stubborn, and he had his heart set on Jennifer. Cathy couldn’t risk Jennifer breaking up with Donald in a fit of anger. She was eager to have a grandchild.
Cathy continued, “Jennifer, Donald likes you. He says you’re beautiful, smart, and capable. I truly don’t have a problem with
you.
‘Donald even told me not to worry about your family background. As long as you two like each other, that’s all that matters. You have the final say.”
Jennifer felt a warmth in her heart and said, “Thank you.”
Cathy quickly followed up. “By the way Jennifer I’ve been feeling some discomfort in my chest lately. Could I get your number? Maybe you could help me out with a check–up sometime. Donald mentioned you’re a gynecologist, and women understand these things best, right?”
Jennifer understood Cathy’s intentions. She knew once she gave out her number, it wouldn’t be easy to take it back. Still, after a brief pause, she handed it over
Cathy created Jennifer’s contact on her phone. As Cathy input the digits, a message notification popped up, showing the same number as Jennifer’s. The number had previously sent Cathy a message.
The message said: [Hello, Jonathan’s Maybach is parked near Teresa’s neighborhood. Could you please have his family come to Rosary Estates to move it?)
