Chapter 287
“Don’t try to trap me with guilt,” Theresa countered. “Do I have a position in this family? Everything here is enjoyed
by your mother and you. I’m no part of it, so bankruptcy or not, it’s not my concern.”
It was easy for Sarah to say. This girl hoped that Theresa would be the slave of her mother and her forever.
“Whatever.” Sarah stood up and left, rattled by Theresa’s presence. Anyway, she didn’t care how eloquent Theresa
was. She just would not marry into the Calsis family.
Theresa didn’t chase after her stepsister. Instead, she sat down on the sofa. Not long after, Leah came out of the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtroom. She was not crying as bitterly as before. Probably, Johnson had coaxed her.
She was good at charming Johnson. Theresa was not surprised at all. Leah glanced at Theresa who was sitting
there. She didn’t greet Theresa as she usually did. Her eyes flickered with coldness, and she cursed inwardly, “This
isn’t over, bitch.” She went downstairs, and then Johnson came out of the room. He saw Theresa and walked over.
She asked, “Is Leah okay?”
Johnson said helplessly, “She’s been with me all her life.”
Knowing her father as a grateful person, she smiled and said, “Dad, it’s fine that Sarah doesn’t want to go there. I’ll
take care
of it.”
She didn’t want to see her father torn. When Charlie was cured, it should be easy to stop him from making things
difficult for her family.
Johnson disagreed, “No, I’ll talk to them. No matter what happens, I’ll take the blame myself. If our family goes
broke, you can take the money I prepared for you and move into the house I bought you. The savings should be
enough to sustain you for the rest of your life. As for the future of the family, we’ll just go with the flow.”
Bankruptcy or what, he could stand it. He had hustled all his life. In the end, his daughter didn’t live a good life. His
effort had lost its meaning, and he started to accept everything. Money was important, but it was not as important
as people. No matter what, he was determined to get his daughter back.
Theresa listened and commented, “Dad, even if you can accept bankruptcy, I can’t leave the Calsis family for the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtime being.”
She came back today to make everything clear to her father and put his anxiety to rest.
“Why?” Johnson asked. “Did Charlie threaten you?”
“No,” Theresa replied, “there is still something yet to be finished. When I’m done, I’ll go through the divorce
procedures with
him. Don’t worry about it. Charlie treats me quite well. He is not that terrible.”
He hated the Cameron family only because of Sarah. It didn’t mean he was a bad person. On the contrary, he
helped her a lot. Theresa was grateful to those who were kind to her and would do everything to repay them. For
now, she hoped that he would recover. She didn’t want to see him upset by an unfaithful girl like Sarah. It was not
like he couldn’t live without Sarah.
