Chapter 806 The Recording
It was known to all except Rose that Jimmy was a scumbag. Every time she stood on Jimmy’s side,
Charlie was at a loss about what to do. If he taught Jimmy a lesson, he would hurt Rose and make her feel he didn’t take her feelings into account. But he couldn’t indulge Jimmy simply because he was trusted by her.
Leticia said, “Uh-huh. By the way, if it is inconvenient for you to tell me about Theresa, how about I talk with her?”
Charlie raised his head and looked at Theresa, saying, “No, you don’t have to worry about her. It’s her own business, and it’s up to her to decide whether the two children will go with her.”
At the side, although Theresa couldn’t hear Leticia’s words on the other end of the phone clearly, she inferred from Charlie’s responses what Leticia had talked to him.
Charlie hung up the phone, and Theresa looked at him, asking, “Was it Leticia calling?” Charlie answered, “Yes. She said that Rose had known about your affair with Jimmy and returned home today.”
Theresa raised her eyebrow and said, “I see.” Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“You seem not to be surprised.” Charlie stared at Theresa hard.
Theresa said, “Jimmy is a downright scoundrel, and he cannot hide his evil deeds for good. Rose will find out his true nature sooner or later!”
“Why are you so certain about it?” Charlie looked at Theresa suspiciously.
She was upset by his doubtful gaze and asked, “Why do you look at me like this? Are you suspecting me?”
“Rose firmly believed that Jimmy was innocent despite the persuasion of her family members. How could she find out the truth all of a sudden?”
“It has nothing to do with me.” Theresa bit her lip subconsciously.
“You’d better tell me the truth.” Charlie looked at her hard and said seriously.
The two children looked at them blankly.
To avoid making Ben distressed, Theresa had agreed with Charlie that no matter what happened, they shall not quarrel before the two children. Faced with Charlie’s interrogation, she had to speak the truth to put an end to the tense atmosphere lest the two children should doubt they were quarreling. “I recorded my conversation with Jimmy when he came to me and sent the recording to Rose today.”
“What recording?” Charlie looked at Theresa curiously.
Theresa said, “I will send it to you.” As she spoke, she picked up the phone and sent the recording to Charlie.
Charlie opened the audio file and played it, looking at Theresa. “When did it happen?” He noticed that the incident recorded happened some time ago.
Theresa smiled dryly. “When I was first introduced into your family, Jimmy bore a grudge against me and regarded me as a thorn in his flesh. Later, he found me under your protection and had to coax me into leaving you. But he didn’t know my marriage with you only existed in forms, and as a matter of course, I couldn’t meet his request.” Speaking of this, Theresa recalled the time she had spent with Charlie. She had married him not out of love and had an aversion to him for his mean words and the
superior air he put on. But in retrospect, she missed those good old days and found Charlie’s image improved in her mind…
Charlie looked at Theresa and said, “This being the case, why didn’t you reveal the recording immediately? If you exposed it in time, you would have given Jimmy away and prevented him from running wild for so long and causing many troubles.”
When it came to the recording, Theresa felt awkward for some reason. “If I revealed it to you, you would know I had your children.”
“You…” Hearing this, Charlie lost his temper. He glared at Theresa, who sat in her seat docilely with her head bent down.
At the side, Ben said, “Dad.” He was afraid of seeing Charlie vent his anger on Theresa.
Charlie looked at him and suppressed his anger, saying to Theresa.
