Chapter290
Leah was looking forward to seeing Theresa being rebuked by Rosales, who was bound to drown out young Theresa
in an altercation. And Leah Theresa would just be too ashamed to come back home in the future.
Johnson only gave Rosales a noncommittal response. Rosales was such a shrew that she had been making trouble
with the
Camerons from time to time these years. Johnson just hadn’t let Theresa know. Now he thought there was no call
for Theresa to suffer it when she had borne more than enough punishment.
Rosales snorted at Johnson’s silence, “It seems you are going to cover for her, Johnson? It’s my grandson’s life that
she’s
awful taken, please! I can tell you now I will never let go of her today. And you deserve the illness all because of

answer — it’s all because your daughter is a slut!”
“What you said?!” Johnson was stunned that Rosales should have considered his gift in such a malicious way. He
gave Theresa that amount only in the hope that the young couple could lead a happy life. And this ridiculous
woman should have made a conclusion that he was covering up for his daughter’s shortcoming with that amount!
That deliberate
misinterpretation was utterly unreasonable!
“Am I wrong?” Rosales continued. “Isn’t it true that your daughter had two kids with other men? How Shameless!”
How Johnson wanted to retort when Rosales smothered him with criticism! But he just couldn’t find the right reason
to
protest.
“Enough!” came Theresa’s furious voice. She was walking down the stairs and had heard every word Rosales flung
to her father. This malicious old woman had gone too far! Theresa finally realized Rosales must have come to
harass her father quite often in past years, and her father must have been as dumb as what he was like now each
time, as he thought his daughter had really committed something guilty. To think of that, Theresa almost blew her
top.

Rosales looked up at Theresa quietly, really being hushed by her bellow. Yet only after a slight pause, Rosales went
on, “How brave you are, Theresa! I thought you will be shunning for a life time!”
Leah added at that moment, “Theresa, Mrs. Watson said you took the life of her grandson, is it for real? How could
you be so cruel! It’s true that you were Jimmy’s wife, but you’ve divorced now. Why did you hurt them when you

congratulate them for the coming baby?”
“Shut up!” Theresa glared to Leah. What a good actress, huh! A moment ago, Leah still acted as though she was
doubting whether Theresa had done the thing, and now she just pinned the crime on Theresa to mislead everyone
on purpose. Facing Theresa’s challenge, Leah drawled bitterly, “All right. You’ve always been so impolite to me. Your
mother left you too early, and you just can’t wait to protest each time I try to educate you. And that’s why you end
up as such an unabashed
woman now…
Theresa gave a cold glare to her pretentious stepmother, who must have contributed a lot to the stalemate
between Theresa and her father these years. And now, this woman was just cornering Theresa together with
Rosales.
Rosales made full use of Leah’s complaint, “Look at you, Theresa! You could have been so ungrateful to your
mother, who has spent so much effort to bring you up. No wonder you’ve never done anything decent.”
Theresa cast a look at her father, who appeared so grim now.
