Chapter 291
Theresa had actually been persuading herself on the way back home to keep the past to herself since “what’s gone
is gone“, yet now, Rosales‘ lunatic behavior was factually forcing her to spit it out. Theresa just couldn’t stand the
humiliation they flung to her father even if she herself could endure it. Clenching her fists tight, Theresa snorted at
Rosales, “I’ve never done anything decent?”
“Or did you? Having an affair in the past and seducing Jimmy now. What else could you do?” Rosales retorted and
she was never afraid to do that. She just thought Rose’s miscarriage a perfect chance to vent her long–time grudge
against Theresa. On top of forcing Theresa to take responsibility for the miscarriage, Rosales swore she would
definitely give Theresa a severe lesson, so as to get revenge for the indignity she had suffered in the Calsis‘

Despite Rosales‘ aggressiveness, Theresa had no scruples about rebutting, “I thought I would bury some memory in
my heart forever….but since you seem to be seeking it now, I may as well let you know it all.”
“Go ahead! I’m looking forward to it!” Rosales mocked disapprovingly. Rosales just didn’t think Theresa would be
able to
change the irrefutable fact however fast–talking she was.
Theresa went up to her father and got herself seated on the sofa, She then regarded Rosales, “Do you admit
you’ve been
reviling me everywhere even in front of my father ever since Jimmy and I divorced?”
Rosales admitted to that score without hesitation. “Sure. Why?” she snorted.
“OK. Just don’t deny it later.” said Theresa.
“That’s the last thing in the world I would deny. Rosales promised confidently.
Leah began to fear Theresa might really have some facts to turn the tables. “Theresa,” she persuaded, “Having an
affair is
squalid after all. You won’t like it to be spread. Since you’ve committed the wrongdoing, it’s not advisable for you to
be tough to Mrs. Watson now. An apology to her might be a wiser choice.
“Leah.” Theresa turned to her stepmother with a solemn look. “You seem to be expecting me to have committed
the wrongdoing even if I didn’t do it, don’t you? You are my stepmother and we are family, but I just feel as though
I’ve offended you and you always aim at me. That just makes me doubt if there’s a great grudge between us.”
Leah’s face stiffened at once. She was much more deceitfully sinister, if Rosales was only a rude shrew. Even when
Theresa had pointed it out so directly, Leah still acted bitterly as though she had been wronged, “Johnson, I never
meant that. Theresa must have misinterpreted my good intention.”

Leah’s affected air just got Theresa to twitch her mouth. “I was too busy to retort four years ago when I was
pregnant.” Theresa poured it out. “And you guys just made use of that situation to pick on me. Please! I’m still alive!
And you just want me to disappear from you life so desperately?!”
Luna, who’d been silent for so long, finally uttered superciliously, Theresa, you are being too much! An affair is
basically a disgrace, and my mother is only being a little bit too harsh, how could you accuse us of wanting your
life?”
“An affair?” retorted Theresa. “You guys seem to be quite certain that I had an affair. Then could you come with the
name of the man? If not, why are you so certain about that? I just wonder what Jimmy’s opinion will be if he dares
to show up with you today.”
Johnson only eyed Theresa aside.
Rosales jeered, “Then tell me where the kids came from if you didn’t hook up with another man. They are not
Jimmy’s children at all!”
