Chapter 198

Chapter 198:

“I’m siding with Evie. Kian is out of line. What a two-timer. Who would want to be with a guy like that?”

“What a scum! Go to hell!”

“Teresa isn’t any better. She claimed she came from a wealthy family. It’s laughable. She should consider a career as a scriptwriter with her talent for fabricating stories.”

“I know who she is! I went to the same high school as Teresa! She’s from a very average family. I’m not sure where you got the idea she’s wealthy.”

“Absolutely! I know Teresa well. She comes from a humble rural background. Did she invent a fancy identity just to snag a wealthy husband? It’s unbelievable!”

“Teresa and Kian deserve each other. A bitch and a scum!”

As the truth came to light, the online community grew increasingly outraged at Teresa and Kian. Their Twitter pages were bombarded with negative comments. Kian still hoped to win Evie back, but he was unprepared for her scathing online remarks. His heart sank with her words, full of loathing. He deeply regretted his actions, mentally berating Teresa over and over!

The police arrested Teresa. She had exploited her company position to funnel resources to her boyfriend, compromising the company’s interests, and she was compelled to pay a hefty fine. Lacking the funds, she was forced to seek a bank loan. When she was released from police custody, her wallet was empty, and she was swamped with a huge debt.

Since she couldn’t go back to Edge Entertainment, it seemed like her whole world was crumbling around her. Her thoughts immediately turned to Jenna. Jenna was so compassionate. She wouldn’t just watch her suffer. Without hesitation, Teresa called Jenna, pouring out her distress.

Jenna was at her desk when she received the call. Hearing Teresa’s woes initially left her a bit disturbed. She was indifferent to Teresa’s troubles. However, Jenna’s expression shifted when Teresa said, “Jenna, this is all Madisyn’s doing. She misled everyone by saying she was Dane’s sister. If it weren’t for her dinner with Dane at the manor, my colleagues wouldn’t have wanted to get justice for me, and my true background wouldn’t have been revealed.”

Teresa refused to see any fault in her own actions. Narrowing her eyes, Jenna mulled over the accusation. “Madisyn is Dane’s sister?”

“Absolutely not!” Teresa exclaimed. “She merely seduced Dane.”

“Hmph, she has seduced countless others,” Jenna scoffed. “Yes, Jenna, please… I need your help.” Teresa sobbed. Jenna grew irritated. “Alright, alright, I’m at work. I’ll call you back when I’m free.”

After ending the call, Jenna noticed a message from Gilbert. Gilbert said, “Jenna, we can’t have dinner tomorrow. My dad wants me at Johns Group to discuss our partnership. I’m sorry.”

Gilbert was troubled as well. His family’s company’s deals with the Johns Group had fallen through. They couldn’t just wait around. Action was necessary. Jenna responded, “Gilbert, I’ll come with you.” She was also eager to uncover the reasons behind the Johns family’s decision to end their partnership with her family’s company.

At eleven, Jenna left her office. Shortly after she hit the road, her journey was abruptly halted.

“Miss Chapman, there is someone up ahead.” Jenna narrowed her eyes and recognized the figure blocking her path—it was her former mother, Sherlyn!

She hadn’t seen her former mother in ages. Sherlyn appeared gaunter, more worn, her yellowish-brown skin etched with lines. She had the look of someone from the countryside. Jenna couldn’t help but crinkle her nose in distaste.

“Wait here for me.” Jenna stepped out of the car and approached Sherlyn, asking coldly, “What are you doing?”

Sherlyn’s heart shattered when she saw Jenna’s cold demeanor and the revulsion in her eyes. She never imagined the daughter she’d nurtured could become so aloof. Once Jenna reconnected with her biological parents, she distanced herself from her former family.

Tears welled up in Sherlyn’s eyes as she said in a choked voice, “Jenna, I wouldn’t bother you if it weren’t for an urgency. Your father has cancer. We spent all our savings on your dance classes, and now we’re deep in debt. But your father needs hospital treatment. Without money, they won’t admit him. Could you lend us some money? I’ll repay you when I can.”

Jenna’s response lacked any trace of compassion. She merely showed coldness and disdain. “Your daughter is Madisyn. She’s close with the president of the Johns Group. Why not ask her for money? Why come to me?”

Sherlyn responded, “Madisyn isn’t our daughter!”

Jenna’s brow furrowed as Sherlyn continued, “She’s actually a Johns by birth. She has no ties to us.”

At this revelation, Jenna felt her knees buckle, nearly collapsing. Madisyn was a member of the Johns family?
