Chapter 218
Theresa was waiting for Charlie on the sofa. When everyone else was still inside, Jimmy came out with a sullen face,
looking unhappy.
Seeing this, Theresa teased, “Mr. Watson, what’s wrong?”
He had looked in a good mood when entering the conference room.
Jimmy didn’t reply but walked away gloomily. Theresa stared after him on the sofa. She had been quite unhappy.
After such a thing had happened last night, she had been worried about Leonard and Ben. But seeing
Jimmy’s gloomy face, she suddenly felt better!
Waiting for Charlie was boring. They seemed to still have a lot of things to talk about, so Theresa went to the
lavatory.
In the women’s lavatory, she heard a few female employees chatting.

“I do envy Ms. Nandlall! She is leading a carefree life. And when she’s pregnant, the whole world has to pamper
her.”
“Some people say Mr. Calsis is deliberately making things difficult for Mr. Watson because the latter offended him.”
“No way!”
After hearing their discussion, Theresa walked out of the cubicle to wash her hands.
When the female employees saw an unfamiliar face, they hurriedly stopped chatting and walked out. When
Theresa went out of the lavatory behind them, she saw Jimmy smoking a cigarette outside. When the female
employees saw him, they lowered their heads and hurried away.
Jimmy’s tie was askew, so he looked a little discomfited. He barely smoked, but when he suffered setbacks in the
company or received a blow, he would do it.
Theresa ignored him. But when she walked past him, he suddenly said, “You’re happy to see me like this, aren’t
you?”
She stopped her steps and turned her head to glance at him.
Jimmy stubbed out the cigarette in his hand, looked at her, and said, “Isn’t it for this moment that you approached
Charlie and stay by his side? Do you know how hard I work? Sometimes, I sleep for three hours a day for business. I
made painstaking efforts to get where I am today… I’ve been in charge of the carnival since the very beginning.
But now, I must hand it over to others. Hah…”
While speaking, his eyes were full of unwillingness.
Theresa looked at him and said, “Why are you telling me about this? Go back and talk to your wife! She’ll be happy
to comfort you.”
Theresa’s words made him stunned for a moment, remembering that he used to complain about unhappy things to
her. Since he had begun to date Rose, his career had been smooth, so he had never complained to her of such
things. But seeing Theresa, he had unconsciously poured out his bitterness. Hearing her reminder, he

Jimmy looked at her and said in distress, “Theresa, please let go of me! I am begging you! You know how
difficult my life is. I have made painstaking efforts to get here. Can you please ask Charlie to stop making
things difficult for me? It is all my fault in the past… I shouldn’t have divorced you or let you abort. I can do
whatever you want to compensate you! I just need you to stop making trouble for me!”
Theresa looked at him with an innocent expression. Had she ever made trouble for him? Although she was glad
to see him get in trouble, she had nothing to do with what had happened today! It was Charlie’s own decision.
Moreover, it was her that had been made trouble for, right?
The Watson family was worried that she would become successful, so they made things difficult for her
everywhere. Even when she had been looking for a job, Rosales had deliberately gone to ask people not to hire her.
And when she had first gone to the Calsis family to give Charlie acupuncture treatments, Jimmy couldn’t wait to
drive her out, not caring that she would lose her job.
Now, when he got in trouble, he thought it was her that was making trouble for him! He was measuring her corn by
his bushel!
Theresa said, “I did not make trouble for you. You should talk to Charlie instead of playing the victim in front of me.
There’s a difference between people and animals. And I don’t play dirty tricks like you.”
