Chapter 445
“Why should I be worried? Everything’s been going exactly the way I hoped,” Jennifer said.
‘I married Donald. Teresa’s ex already moved on. At least we sisters can watch out for each other in Mareigh. The only wildcard is this baby, the thought
As Teresa walked past Jennifer, she said, “You better hold on tight to that department head title. It’s a long, hard fall from the top.
Jennifer stared at Teresa’s back and shot back, “Why are you being so sarcastic? Is it because your ex already moved on and you’re not okay with it?
“If you’re upset, go find a guy yourself. I tried to set you up with Sanford, but you didn’t want him. So how is that my fault? Why is it only men who get to move on? You should too–just let it go already.”
Teresa hadn’t planned to keep arguing, but Jennifer was really pushing her buttons. Teresa spun around and said, “Oh, I’d love to. Go ahead, find me someone richer and more powerful than my
Jennifer let out a cold laugh. “Your ex just looks successful on the outside. For all you know, he’s drowning in debt. Most of those so–called big shots are just paper tigers–tough on the outside, hollow inside.”
“Then what are you?” Teresa fired back. “Jonathan got you your job, paid for your wedding, and owns mansions in three cities. Why trash him? Jealous he’s doing better than your husband?”
Jennifer’s face darkened. “I’m not as shallow or materialistic as you.”
“And how exactly am I shallow and materialistic?
“I have noticed that bracelet on your wrist. That thing’s worth at least several thousand dollars. You should give it back before he uses it against you someday.”
Teresa suddenly laughed, then flashed a smile at Jennifer. “I’m not giving it back.”
“You-” Jennifer was so furious, that her face turned green.
After wrapping up things at his firm, Benny still made time to come over and look for Teresa.
Last time, after Cheryl gave him a quick kiss and handed him that cactus toy, Benny went home and fiddled with it, but the more he thought about it, the more something felt off.
If Teresa really had a kid, the timeline wouldn’t add up. She couldn’t have been pregnant when he thought she was. But he was sure he’d heard a baby crying that day. ‘Was I just imagining things?‘ he thought.
Benny decided to pull a surprise visit, showing up even earlier this time–before seven in the morning.
From what he knew about Teresa, there was no way she’d be up at this hour. If she was hiding a kid at home, she’d definitely be there, and there’d be no
time to cover it up.
He knocked on her door for ages, but finally had to accept the fact that no one was home. Frowning, he was just about to call Teresa to ask where she was when he heard footsteps coming up behind him.
Miriam spotted Benny and looked surprised. “Benny, what are you doing here? Looking for Teresa?”
“Yeah, where is she? I need to talk to her about something.”
“Teresa’s out of town for work. I just came by to grab her car keys from under the doormat. She’s letting me borrow her Porsche for a few days since mine’s in the shop.” Miriam grabbed the keys, and Benny followed her downstairs.

“She really went on a business trip? Isn’t her sister getting married soon? She’s not going to the wedding?”
“The wedding’s not for another two weeks. She can’t just sit at home waiting idea what Donald sees in her.”

She wasn’t afraid to hit him, because she was absolutely sure Teresa hadn’t just had a baby. Teresa was out of town with Michael, and Miriam knew that for a fact.
Benny was stunned for a second. “Jonathan’s getting remarried?”
