Accidentally Pregnant After Divorcing The Billionaire (Jonathan and Teresa) novel Chapter 254

254.Chapter 254

Irene still had that photo of Jonathan with a stranger saved on her phone. She sent it to him and warned, “You need to watch yourself. Do you even know who that person is? For all you know, they could be criminals!”

Jonathan glanced at the photo and suddenly pieced it together. “You showed this photo to Teresa, didn’t you?”

“I was just looking out for you. If this photo gets out, people will say the CEO of Horizonlead Group is cozying up to criminals. And what if they twist the story and claim you’re one of them?” Irene’s tone was sharp and accusatory.

Jonathan flicked the photo onto the table, his long fingers tapping lightly on the surface. “You think a photo like this can shake me? If I let something so trivial affect me, I wouldn’t have made it this far.”

But Irene wasn’t done. Her voice grew harsher, her frustration spilling over. “It’s all Teresa’s fault. Ever since you got involved with her, your life’s been a mess. Look at how much better you’ve done since you left her behind.”

“Enough,” Jonathan leaned forward, his gaze locking onto Irene’s with icy precision. “I‘ Il ask you one thing. Did you use this photo to threaten her?”

Irene’s gaze flickered as she tried to avoid Jonathan’s eyes. When he kept pressing her, she finally snapped, “She left on her own. It has nothing to do with me.”

Jonathan’s tone sharpened. “What I’m asking is, did you take this photo to her? Did you say things like, ‘She ruined me‘ or ‘She’s been dragging me down‘?”

Irene pressed her lips together, her silence confirming Jonathan’s suspicions. His brows furrowed deeply.

“Why did you go to her? I’ve told you before, my relationship with her is none of your business. You’re not her mother–in–law anymore, so you shouldn’t have gone.”

“But I’m your mother!” Irene shot back. “I don’t know who sent me this photo. They said they’d expose you, and I panicked. I was scared it’d ruin your reputation, so I went to Teresa. I don’t want her dragging you down anymore.”

“She’s never dragged me down,” Jonathan said firmly.

“Really? Hasn’t she caused you enough trouble already?” Irene retorted, her eyes full of disdain for Teresa.

Jonathan’s clenched fists loosened weakly. “You’re my mother, the one who raised me, and she’s the woman I love most. You’re both the most important people in my life. Why can’t you accept her?”

Successfully unlocked!

“What’s so great about her? I just can’t stand her! I don’t want a daughter–in–law like her,” Irene cried, hitting Jonathan’s chest repeatedly. “I worked so hard to pull you out of that mess, and now you’re throwing yourself back in.”

“I’ve always been clear about what I want,” Jonathan thought, his determination. solidifying. He finally had the reason he needed to go to Fernlandia and find Teresa. He reached out to Miriam for Teresa’s exact location.

The sprawling landscapes of Fernlandia stretched out endlessly as Jonathan’s car pulled up to the villa where Teresa had been staying. He had traveled all this find her, but the person who greeted him at the door was Evelyn.

Evelyn raised an eyebrow. “Jonathan, what brings you here?”

Jonathan gave a slight nod, though his gaze couldn’t help but dart past Evelyn, searching for any sign of Teresa. “Evelyn, sorry to bother you. I’m here to see Teresa.”

Jonathan’s voice remained respectful, though there was a hint of urgency. “I just need to say a few words to her. There’s something I need to explain.”
