Chapter 513
Theresa said, “I’m not a kid anymore, and I know what I’m doing. Charlie is grateful to me now, so he wants to keep
me with him…
“But he is not the kind of person who values feelings that are dispensable to him. He just wants to return the favor
to me.
“At first, I could stay with him using his gratitude, but will we still do so over time? Can two people really stay
together for the rest of their lives out of gratitude? I’ve seen it through. Love is just a lie. And I don’t want to waste
my energy on these things anymore.”
After she said that, Johnson understood it.
He looked at Theresa and didn’t say anything for a while.
As someone who had been there, he also felt that Theresa had a point.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFeelings were the most unreliable thing in this world. When two people who were not right for each other were
together over time, it would only produce more conflicts.
He said, “But what about the two kids? You don’t want them? Charlie also asked me today if I knew where your two
kids were. I was shocked but, luckily, I reacted quickly enough. You haven’t told him about the two kids yet?”
Theresa said, “Since I want to get a divorce, I don’t want to tell him for now. You know, it will be harder to get a
divorce after telling him. After some days, I’ll move to the house you bought for me, bringing the kids there as well,
to completely clear the relationship with Charlie.”
“Then the company…” Before he could finish, Johnson closed his mouth and changed the subject, “I mean if you
take the kids away, Charlie won’t be angry?”
He wanted to ask if the company would be the object that Charlie would vent. But then he thought, even if it really
affected the company, it had nothing to do with Theresa.
He didn’t want the company’s affairs to affect Theresa’s happiness.
She had already had a hard time all these years.
Theresa said, “Don’t worry. I’ll take care of all this before I leave, and the company will be fine. It took you many
years of hard work to build it up, and I wouldn’t let it go bankrupt just like that.
“You have to take a lot of trouble with Sarah’s work. Now she’s managing the company, and there’s no telling what
will happen. I heard she’s planning to spend a fortune to hire an online celebrity to be the endorser for our
company.
“She got the benefit of the online celebrity after this donation, but the real problem of our company has not been
solved now.”
With their backward design, they took the low-end affordable route, never keeping up with other brands… It’s not
okay to do business this way…
This simply could not last, and it also might have the opposite result.
“I heard her say it. And I’m very much against what she’s doing.” Johnson said, “Ugh, she’s just too young and has
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmher mother to guard her.”
Before he could say anything now, Leah would say, “My daughter is so awesome. If it weren’t for her, the company
wouldn’t be as good as it is now?”
It’s like Sarah was right and he was wrong.
Theresa said, “It’s OK for you to know that. Since she was so self-indulgent, let her be! She will suffer the
consequences later.”
Her father was still not well, so he did not return to the office.
Johnson heard her words and nodded, “I will go back to the company in a few days.”
After talking with her father in the study, Theresa stood up and went out.
As soon as she opened the door, Leah and Sarah stumbled in inertia.
Theresa looked at the two and frowned. What were the two of them doing here when she was talking to her father?
Seeing Theresa looking at herself, Leah smiled with an embarrassed look on her face, “Tess, are you done talking? I
would have asked if you guys wanted something to drink?”
“No.” When Theresa walked out the door with a sober face, Sarah and Leah came to her.
Leah said, “Are you ready to go back?”
She was trying to hear what Theresa and her father were saying.
