264.Chapter 264
“She’s doing fine now and doesn’t want to be disturbed,” Jonathan finished the
sentence.
Jennifer’s eyes were filled with disappointment as she stared at Jonathan. With a mocking smile, she said, “So you’re just giving up on Teresa? Is that all your so–called love amounts to?” After saying that, she turned and walked away-
Miriam told Jonathan to ignore Jennifer, saying. That woman has some issues. Jonathan replied indifferently. “There’s no need to look for Teresa.”
He turned and left
Miriam let out a helpless sigh
Benny, after hearing Miriam mention Teresa’s phone calls, felt frustrated. “Everyone’s talked to Teresa except me? If I’d known, I wouldn’t have left that day. What a mistake,” he muttered.
“Why hasn’t Teresa come back?” Benny asked Miriam.
“Because of Jennifer,” Miriam snorted. “I always knew Jennifer was bossy, but I didn’t think she’d go this far. She’s practically running Teresa’s life.
“Ever since Teresa moved in with her, I haven’t seen her smile. She never complains about Jennifer, though. Jennifer even brainwashed me, saying everything was what Teresa wanted. Ugh, I can’t believe I actually fell for her act.” Miriam scoffed.
Benny raised an eyebrow. He’d met Jennifer a couple of times and found her tough to deal with, but he didn’t share Miriam’s deep hostility. “By the way, what about your
cousin?” he asked.
“Which cousin?” Miriam asked, feigning confusion.
“The one named Sherry,” Benny clarified.
Miriam’s eyes flickered for a moment. “Oh… She’s doing fine. Why do you ask?”
Benny stared at Miriam. “I thought I saw her in Nareigh a few days ago. Didn’t she leave? And what about her kid–the one who looks just like Jonathan?”
Miriam laughed nervously. “You must’ve been mistaken. You’re terrible with faces, remember?”
Even though Miriam said that, Benny couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off. Raising an eyebrow, he brought the conversation back to Teresa. “So, Teresa’s not coming back just because Jennifer is too controlling?”
Miriam nodded. “Teresa didn’t sa successfully unlocked! ng by Jennifer’s behavior, I bet she’s always scolding and lecturing her.
Benny frowned, still puzzled. “That doesn’t sound like Teresa. She’s not the type to hold grudges. I remember back in school, she’d always oversleep and be late. When

the teacher scolded her, she’d just laugh it off and move on.”
“If someone were living in your house, constantly bossing you around, controlling everything you do, setting rules and demands, and you couldn’t just kick them out because they’re family–how would you feel?” Miriam said.
“Really? Her sister’s that bad? But isn’t her sister dating Jonathan’s cousin now? She seems pretty happy with Edward,” Benny replied.
Miriam snapped, “Jonathan’s cousin is Donald. Stop dragging Edward into this.”
Benny gritted his teeth. “Fine. If Jonathan won’t look for her, then the two of us will keep an eye out. We have to find her.”
