Accidentally Pregnant After Divorcing The Billionaire (Jonathan and Teresa) novel Chapter 421

Chapter 421

Hearing Evelyn’s unusually quiet and dejected tone on the phone, Teresa felt something wasn’t right.

Evelyn’s flight landed at ten in the morning. Teresa went to pick her up, handing Isabel over to her. The moment Isabel was in Evelyn’s arms, she started bawling.

“Sweetheart, did you miss me? I’m so sorry for coming so late to get you,” Evelyn said, full of guilt.

“Mommy, I thought you didn’t want me anymore.” Isabel sobbed in Evelyn’s arms.

“How could I ever not want my precious girl?” Evelyn hugged Isabel tightly.

Teresa sighed. “Alright, let’s not just stand here. Let’s go to my place–Isabel’s luggage is there.”

Evelyn agreed.

When they got to Rosary Estates, Michael ran up and called out, “Grandma!”

Evelyn responded, “Mike, Isabel hasn’t torn up your notebook again, has she?”

Michael shook his head and glanced at Isabel. “Grandma, Aunt Isabel and I are good friends now.”

‘Kids really don’t hold grudges.’ Evelyn sighed and ruffled Michael’s hair. She felt that he was looking more and more like his dad.

Teresa brought over some coffee and asked Evelyn, “Did something happen? You sounded upset on the phone.”

After setting down the coffee, she turned to Mike and said quietly, “Mike, can you take Isabel to your room? I need to talk to Grandma.”

“Yes, ma’am!” Michael replied playfully.

Once the kids had left, Evelyn pulled out a handkerchief and dabbed at her eyes. “I’m such an idiot,” she said.

“What happened? Don’t cry. Just tell me,” Teresa urged.

Choking back her sobs, Evelyn said, “The whole 1.5 million is gone.”

Teresa’s eyes widened. “What?”

Evelyn’s lips moved as if searching for words. She’d wanted to make a little extra money, so she invested 2.6 million dollars in a project. cautious at first, but since her psychologist had recommended it, she let her guard down.

She’d been

Only then did Teresa know what had happened. After Charlie scammed Evelyn out of everything and left her penniless, Evelyn had fallen into a deep depression.

While she was in Fernlandia taking care of Isabel, she met a foreign psychologist who helped her work through her issues, and she really thought he was a good person.

Teresa was at a complete loss for words. After a while, she said, “Are you out of your mind? How many times have you let men scam you? Haven’t you learned your lesson yet? That wasn’t just a few bucks–that was 2.6 million dollars!”

Evelyn knew she was in the wrong and didn’t try to argue. “I just trusted him too much never thought it would turn out like this. I swear to you, never again. I’m completely finished with men.”

She was heartbroken. “This is just my fate. I can’t seem to meet anyone who truly cares about me. I’ve accepted it. If Isabel weren’t still so young, I might just want to give up entirely.”

Teresa felt a whirlwind of anger, pity, and frustration. “Okay, enough. How many times have you done such things?

“Just focus on taking care of Isabel from now on. I’ll make sure you get a share of feresouth Group’s dividends every year. But please, no more craty

schemes.”

Teresa narrowed her eyes and stared hard at Evelyn. “What do you mean? Are you still hiding something from me?”

Evelyn kept dabbing at her eyes with a handkerchief, and finally, she let out the truth. That 2.6 million wasn’t even hers. It was the money Jonathan had given to Teresa.

After a while, Evelyn continued, “I thought I could double the 2.6 million and turn it into 5.2 million. It’s all my fault. It’s not like when I started my business–making money is so much harder now.”

Teresa snapped out of her daze and grabbed Evelyn’s shoulders, completely breaking down. “How could you do this to me? You spent Jonathan’s money. How am I supposed to face him now?

“It’s too late.” Teresa quickly grabbed Isabel’s packed luggage and tossed it out. “Take your daughter and leave. I don’t have a mother like you. I was the idiot who thought you’d saved up a 2.6 million dollar engagement gift for me.”
