255.Chapter 255
Miriam reached out to Jennifer, thinking Teresa would have told her where she was headed.
“What?” Jennifer exclaimed, panic setting in. She hadn’t even known Teresa had left Fernlandia.
Jennifer immediately called Evelyn, who hesitated before finally admitting, “Teresa left. a week ago. She told me not to say anything.”
“She told you to keep quiet, and you actually listened? Did you even think about how I’d feel?” Jennifer snapped, her voice sharp with frustration.
“Hannah, are you trying to drive me insane? Teresa says I don’t care about her feelings, and now you’re saying the same thing. What do you want from me?” Evelyn’s voice cracked.
Jennifer’s tone turned cold. “I’ve stopped expecting anything from you. Not even your love. All I asked was for you to keep an eye on Teresa and take care of her. Was that too much to ask?”
“I thought she had gone back to Nareigh,” Evelyn replied weakly.
“She didn’t go back to Nareigh. If she had, I would’ve known,” Jennifer shot back, her words cutting.
“If she didn’t go back to Nareigh, then where could she be? And she took Mike with her! She doesn’t even have a place to stay. How could she be so reckless?” Evelyn’s voice now carried a note of panic.
Jennifer scoffed, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “Now you’re worried? Where was all this concern when it could’ve made a difference? If you’d told me earlier, we wouldn’t be in this mess.”
“I didn’t know she wasn’t even contacting you,” Evelyn murmured, guilt evident in her
tone.
Jennifer felt a surge of frustration. She thought, ‘I’m her only sister. Aren’t we supposed to be close? How could she just cut me off like this?”
She went to Miriam, pressing her for Teresa’s whereabouts. Since Miriam was Teresa’s closest friend, Jennifer assumed she would know how to contact her.
Miriam, clearly annoyed, snapped, “Teresa really didn’t tell me where she went.”
Both of them had assumed Teresa would reach out to the other.
Jennifer’s voice carried a hint of bitterness. “Before Teresa left, we talked on the phone. We argued, and she accused me of a lot of things. Was I too much?
Miriam frowned. “What did you two argue about?”
Jennifer briefly recounted some of their issues. They had agreed to leave Nareigh

together, but while Teresa left, Jennifer stayed behind.
Miriam’s temper flared. “Seriously, Jennifer, Teresa doesn’t owe you anything! Who do you think you are, making all these demands on her? No wonder she looked so upset. when she left. It was you! You’re the reason she was so miserable!”
