Jonathan pursed his thin lips, his gaze dark and gloomy as he watched Teresa devoutly praying with clasped hands, finding it ridiculous that someone likeven bother with the likes of you,” he uttered indifferently, his tone grave as he pronounced Teresa’s guilt.
“Your brother had an accident and is being rescued inside, yet you’re saying these things. Have you come here to intentionally upset us?” Michael could
Teresa raised her eyes, a subtle hint of something unreadable passing through her watery gaze. She slowly released her clasped hands, tears welling up

Simon couldn’t stand it anymore and averted his gaze with furrowed brows.
Michael approached her, patting her hand gently to console her. “Christopher will be fine.”
Jonathan’s gaze deepened further as he watched the tender interaction between the two. His large hand involuntarily clenched into a fist, a coldness em
Seeing Teresa’s helpless appearance, Angela couldn’t help but applaud inwardly. Aw, so delicate and helpless. Do you think you’re three, lady? She held
Jonathan lowered his head slightly, and his heart melted, seeing his girl, usually as meek as a kitten, suddenly showed some backbone that day.
Teresa sobbed softly, then slowly approached Jonathan with tear streaks on her face, looking somewhat helpless. “Jonathan, I heard today that you and
Jonathan looked down at Teresa with a cold gaze, his eyes filled with sarcasm. “Are you suspecting that I arranged Christopher’s accident?”
“Of course not.” Teresa softly wiped her tears, then feigned concern. “If Christopher did something to offend you, I apologize on his behalf. You’re his bro

Considering Jonathan had just reprimanded Christopher at lunchtime, it was entirely possible for Jonathan to harm him for the sake of a little girl now. Af
Teresa, with her eyes reddened, looked up fearfully at Jonathan, then tugged at the enraged Michael, softly persuading, “No, Jonathan is a good boy. He
But the seed of suspicion had been planted, and once it took root, it would only grow stronger. With her back–and–forth, Teresa successfully made Michael believe that she was afraid of Jonathan, hence her reluctance tospeak the truth. After all, in Michael’s mind, Teresa was nothing but a simple and kind bunny.
Standing behind them, Simon furrowed his brow tightly, staring at Teresa with disgust written all over his face. Having followed Jonathan for many years,when it came down to it, she would distance herself completely.
Michael glared at Jonathan, his face grim with regret for ever giving birth to Jonathan, who made it seem as though the entire Sanders Family owed him
Even if it was because of Elisa, that was all ancient history from over twenty years ago. He really didn’t need to hold a grudge against them all this time.
Michael’s expression was grim as he scolded angrily,“Jonathan, no matter what, Christopher is your brother. Even if you care nothing about your elders, you should still show some brotherly affection! Will yoafter you’ve angered us to death?”
Jonathan stared at the two, emanating a chilling aura that made Michael’s voice quieter and quieter. He let out a disdainful chuckle, “If I wanted ChristopI gave you that chance.”
Michael’s face turned purple with anger, his hand trembling as he pointed at Jonathan. “You!”
Angela tugged at Jonathan and chuckled lightly. “Do you have evidence to prove that it’s all Jonathan’s doing?”
“Evidence…”

“Then you should know that if I wanted Christopher dead, he wouldn’t survive, and there wouldn’t even be a body left for you all,” Jonathan retorted sole
Teresa’s eyes flickered as she knew she had to pull the reins for the day, and continuing to provoke would only harm Christopher. She quickly changed hJonathan is Christopher’s brother and would never harm him. Let’s not misunderstand Jonathan.”
Look at that! The same old trick. Even if she changes her story now, Michael wouldn’t necessarily agree with her. In fact, he might think his defenseless then?”
Even if Mr. Lawson later proved innocent, it would still strain their father–son relationship further and raise doubts about whether he would reallyharm Christopher in the future. After all, who’s to say it will never happen? She’s cunningly paving the way for her son.
Teresa showed a timid expression, fearfully inching behind Michael like a startled bird. “I… I was confused for a moment and said the wrong thing.”
Michael quickly shielded Teresa behind him, glaring at Jonathan. “Is this how you keep your men in line?”
Jonathan slightly lowered his eyes, his sharp gaze seemingly able to pierce through everything like a blade of ice. He had long seen through Teresa’s littnot know who crossed the line in the first place? Don’t appear where you shouldn’t be.”
Teresa’s back tensedfrom Jonathan’s domineering presence, visibly nervous, her voice trembling as she replied, “Jonathan, it’s my fault. Don’t stoop to my level.”
Meanwhile, Michael stood aside, his face grim with no rebuttal.
At that, Jonathan glanced sideways, his peripheral vision looking at Simon as he mumbled,
“Simon.”
“Yes, sir.” Simon nodded and brought the video he held to them, his voice steady. “This is the surveillance video from the scene of Mr. Sanders‘ accident
