His back was pressed against the wardrobe until.
The man raised one hand, leaned against the wardrobe,
squinted down at the person in his arms.
“Okay, good.” He lightly lifted her pointed chin, “Since you’re so
capable now, why don’t you guess if you can threaten me?”
Bethany squatted down and slipped out from the gap between
his arms, keeping her distance.
Terrence let go of the hand resting on the wardrobe, turned
sideways, hands on hips, his gentle eyes turning much colder.
Bethany was furious, with a determined gesture, she said, “If
you won’t, I’ll fight her to the end. Whatever role she creates, I’ll
fight for it. Terrence, let me tell you, I’ve seen Krista’s work. I
just haven’t been working these years. If I go, she’s no match for
me, not even ten Kristas!”
“What a big talk!” Terrence sneered, “I don’t like women who
talk big. I don’t want to hear it a second time. Stop messing
around and go take a shower.”
At this time, Terrence’s phone rang again.
He took out his phone, it was a call from Krista, so he answered.

“Terrence, my ankle is really swollen right now, not sure if it’s
more than just a dislocation. I can’t walk, it hurts so bad. Can
you come over and take me to the hospital?”
At night, it was very quiet all around.
The sound overflowed from Terrence’s phone receiver.
Bethany heard it all.
Terrence opened his eyes, glanced at Bethany, and then
whispered, “I might be here for a while, can you handle it?”
“Were you busy? If you were busy, I would call Rigoberto.”
“I wasn’t busy, just came to pick up Beth from her grandma’s
house. Can you trust Rigoberto? After all these years, don’t you
know what he’s up to at night?”
When Krista heard that Terrence went to Bethany’s hometown,
she felt really uneasy.
But still said, “It’s okay, you take care of Beth, I’ll call an
ambulance, I’ll hang up first.”
There was a “beep beep beep” sound coming from the phone.
Even though Krista said she would call an ambulance, Terrence
was still a bit worried. She lives alone in Linden Manor, and if
Chapter201
anything happened, he would never forgive himself.
He put away his phone, walked up to Bethany, took the pajamas
off her arm, threw them on the bed, grabbed her hand, and said,
“Let’s go home tonight, no waiting until tomorrow.”
Bethany forcefully pushed his hand away.
He said he was tired after a long day and wanted to stay here
and not leave.
Krista’s ankle swelled up, so he hurried back and planned to
take her with him.
Why did she have to accompany him on a night journey for
Krista?

She gestured to him, “Tomorrow I’m going to visit my mom and
grandma’s graves.”
She came back just to do this, for seven years on Thanksgiving
Day, she never spent time with her mom and grandma.
No matter what, she wasn’t going to leave.
Terrence stared at her for a while, thinking about how for the
past seven years, her Thanksgiving Day had always been spent
with the McConnell family, as if she had never come back to
Chapter201
visit her mother and grandmother’s graves. He didn’t insist that
she had to go home with him tonight.
“Tomorrow morning, you get up early and take care of this, I’ll
have Michael pick you up.”
After saying that, Terrence turned and left.
Bethany watched the man’s tall and anxious figure, her face.
becoming even more pale.
The next day.
The flower shop delivered the flowers Bethany had pre-
ordered. She came out of the house with the offerings she had
bought yesterday. Just as she opened the door, she saw Julio.
Julio was wearing a black suit today, holding two bouquets of
flowers in his hands.
He stood in front of the car, waving to Bethany, “Hey, dummy,
good morning.”
Bethany smiled and walked towards Julio.
