Chapter 193
Theresa stood up, got him out of the room, and took the elevator to go down. Everyone was seated in the
dining room. Theresa sat down next to Charlie. Cristina glanced at the man and quickly looked away.
Charlie saw Cristina and asked, “Why is she still here?”
Leticia looked over and asked, “What’s wrong? Cristina came to see Leonard and Ben, and I kept her here for
lunch.”
Charlie had a problem with that. He said seriously, “I don’t want to see her in this house ever again.”
“Charlie,” Leticia reasoned. “That’s too harsh. Leonard and Ben are both here.”

the urge to drive Cristina away. He did it for Ben. Rose was relieved that he didn’t insist. Cristina was the best
candidate to replace Theresa. She didn’t want to see Cristina gone like that.
Just then, another person came in and said, “Sorry, I’m late.”
The incomer was none other than Jimmy. Rose told him Cristina would be here today and invited him over. As soon
as the man showed up, Theresa’s face fell. Jimmy had been busy with the carnival activities and rarely came back,
but his presence never failed to upset Theresa.
Jimmy sat down beside her, laid his eyes on Cristina, and smiled, “You’re Cristina, right? I’ve heard so much. about
you from Rose?”
Cristina looked at Jimmy in surprise. Although she had never seen him before, she was too familiar with his
name. She itched to skin him alive.
To his greeting, she just sneered, “Don’t try to cotton up to me. Do I know you?”
Since the other party was Jimmy, she was blunt in her speech. Jimmy was surprised to receive such disdain from
Cristina. He was just trying to be polite.
“I don’t remember that I offended you.” He was a bit puzzled. She acted like there was great animosity between
them.
“You didn’t. I’m just disgusted by your ugly face,” she said.
Jimmy was offended and turned livid. Rose took a deep breath and regretted calling Jimmy back. To defuse the
embarrassment, she gently expressed her concern. “You must be tired.”

“I’m alright,” Jimmy said.
She gave him a towel to wipe his hands. He was dissatisfied with Cristina’s attitude. He didn’t wrestle with her since
the children and the seniors were there. Halfway through the meal, Rose and Jimmy went upstairs. He
was not happy. His anger was vented when they were upstairs.
“Are you sure Cristina is not sick? I didn’t provoke her, right? But she talked to me like that. No wonder Uncle Charlie
doesn’t like her.”
Rose said, “This is strange. We didn’t offend her. On the contrary, we have been helping her. I don’t get it.” “Forget
it, I don’t want to hear anything about her or see her face again.” Jimmy irritably sat down. If he had known this, he
wouldn’t have come back for lunch.
