Chapter 930
Since Teresa was flying out the next morning, Miriam hurried back tonight to check on her. When she saw that Teresa was safe and sound, Miriam let out a sigh of relief.
“It’s probably a good thing you’re leaving Nareigh. From what I see, Irene won’t rest until she gets Jonathan thrown behind bars,” Miriam said.
Teresa looked confused. She wondered, “What does this mean? Why would Irene want to see Jonathan end up in jail?”
“Don’t you know that? I heard from Edward that the whole mess at Jonathan’s company was caused by one of Edward’s uncles. Jonathan wanted to send the person to a branch office ages ago, but Edward’s mother begged Irene to stop Jonathan,” Miriam explained.
Teresa finally got it and was left speechless. She remembered Benny once mentioning there was a traitor inside Horizontead Group.
Back then, she had wondered why Jonathan would let someone with bad intentions stay by his side after everything he had been through.
Teresa was surprised that it would be one of their own stabbing them in the back, and that one turned out to be from Irene’s side.
Miriam clicked her tongue and said, “Luckily, Edward isn’t close with that uncle of his. Right now, Edward’s dad is running around trying to pull strings so his brother gets a lighter sentence, but Jonathan is not going to let Edward’s uncle off easy.”
Miriam took a sip of water to moisten her throat and continued, “So, don’t remarry Jonathan for real. With such a mother of his, it’s only a matter of time before she causes some huge mess. You don’t want to get dragged into it.”
Teresa wasn’t afraid of getting caught up in Jonathan’s troubles. If Irene could truly accept her and treat her kindly, Teresa would be more than willing to stand united with Jonathan as his wife.
But reality was nothing like that. Every time Teresa said she loved Jonathan, Irene would just sneer at her. Whenever she said she cared about Jon, Irene would simply say she didn’t buy it.
After Teresa was insulted and blamed by Irene like that, she wouldn’t go out of her way to cling to Irene. Even though Teresa loved Jonathan, it wasn’t to the point where she would lose her mind.
The closer she got to Jonathan, the more Irene would look down on her. But Teresa had her pride and self-respect. She wasn’t the type who couldn’t live without love.
Teresa had meant it when she said that she and Jonathan would go their separate ways after the baby was born. She wasn’t going to let the people around Jonathan or her mess with her life anymore. They could all go their own way.
“Hold on,” Teresa came back to her senses. “Miriam, how did you know my remarriage is just for show?”
Teresa had never mentioned it to Miriam before.
Miriam gave her a helpless look. “Oh, come on. Don’t I know you? Anyone with eyes can see you two are just acting, especially you. You don’t even have a hint of happiness about getting back together.”
Teresa knew she couldn’t fool Miriam, so she spilled the whole story about what had been going on lately.
Miriam sighed and said, “This is good. Since Jonathan’s mother stirred up all this mess, let the family handle it. You just focus on your baby in peace, and after that, let’s live our own lives and shine. I’ll be right there shining with you.”
“How exactly are you going to shine with me?” Teresa asked.
“If Edward’s mom doesn’t like me, no matter how much I love him, there’s no way I’d marry him. I’m serious. I know the difference between dating and marriage,” Miriam said.
Miriam was pretty clear-headed. She was living in the moment, not worrying about the future. At least for now, she and Edward were in love and lived in happiness.
“Alright. Enough about all that. Let me help you pack, and tomorrow I’ll go to the airport with you to see you off,” Miriam said.
Teresa nodded.
After Miriam had left, someone else came knocking at the door before long.
