Chapter 296
But now it was a different case. Too many things were involved in, including the prospect of Jimmy’s career,
everything the Watsons owned now… and even Luna’s family, if the scandal was really to be spread. Rosales thus
knelt down without hesitation, “Mrs. Cameron, it’s my fault. I’ve been too mean to Theresa all these years. She’s
being wronged!”
Johnson got her to stand up with embarrassment. Submission just came so easy to such an unprincipled woman.
Rosales then turned to Theresa for her opinion.

Rosales rose to her feet under the help of Luna, and asked Theresa ingratiatingly, “So you could delete the files
now?” “When did I promise to delete them?” Theresa asked Rosales with a puzzled look.
“You…!” Rosales was struck dumb in rage.
“But my mother has knelt down as you instructed!” snapped Luna.
“Did I force her to do that?” retorted Theresa.
Luna gave Theresa an incredulous glare. “How can you cheat us?!”
Theresa went on unheedingly, “It’s getting late and my father needs a rest now. You guys could be off now.”
Rosales wouldn’t obey, of course, as she hadn’t achieved the goal about the records. “But…” she muttered.
“If you still want to continue the confrontation,” Theresa pre–empted her, “we may as well go to the Calsis‘
Residence and make it clear. I’m really curious about their reaction at the audio files!”
“Ok, we will leave now!” Rosales hastened to promise. “Theresa, I’m really sorry for what we have done to you.
Could you forgive us? I know you are a kind–hearted. I actually took care of you too when you were staying with us.
I was being rude just now only because of the misconception which made me lose my mind…”
“Could you help send them out, Uncle Robert? Theresa told Robert, who was standing aside.
Robert, who had been waiting for that instruction for long, was finally able to motion to Rosales and Luna, “This
way, please.” His sharp eyes were indicating the mandatory action if they refused to move off.
Casting a wistful look at Robert, Rosales could do nothing but leave with resignation.

“Theresa…” Johnson murmured. His daughter should have been leading such a bitter life for so long! And Jimmy
was such a despicable man despite his seemingly graceful demeanor. “You’ve suffered too much!” Johnson’s voice
trembled. Theresa consoled him, “Dad, what’s gone is gone. I didn’t tell you that only because I didn’t want you to
worry for what’s
happened. But I was just cornered by them so desperately today.” The politeness and toleration of Johnson and
Theresa just got Rosales more and more unscrupulous, and Johnson would only continue to suffer her ruthless
abuse if Theresa hadn’t stood out to protest today.
“You should have spoken it out earlier!” observed Johnson.
