Listen to this chapter:

โ€œI thought youโ€™d have a better future if you stayed in Nareigh. I never planned to tell you. Please donโ€™t quit. You worked so hard for this job.โ€

Ever since he and Jennifer got together, Donald had begun renovating their future home in anticipation of marriage. He was genuinely serious about marrying her, completely committed, treating her as his future wife, not just a casual relationship. He couldnโ€™t bear the thought of her quitting, leaving, or breaking up with him.

Jennifer turned away, her face cold. โ€œYouโ€™re really putting me in a tough spot.โ€ She didnโ€™t want to owe her sisterโ€™s ex-husband a favor, and it was definitely a favor Teresa would have to repay. After all, Jonathan had only helped because of Teresa. It felt like sheโ€™d betrayed her own sister, making Jennifer deeply uncomfortable.

โ€œJennifer, donโ€™t overthink it,โ€ Donald said softly. โ€œYouโ€™re more than qualified. Even with connections, you wouldnโ€™t have gotten the job if you werenโ€™t good enough. You earned this.โ€

Donald came up behind her, placed his hands on her shoulders, and gently kissed her slender neck. โ€œJust treat this as my favor to Jonathan, not yours. Iโ€™ll pay him back.โ€

Jennifer finally turned around. โ€œThen make sure you pay Jonathan back. Otherwise, heโ€™ll definitely ask Teresa to repay him, and I donโ€™t want Teresa to know about this. It would feel like I sold her out.โ€

โ€œOkay, I know,โ€ Donald reassured her. โ€œIโ€™ll take care of it.โ€

โ€œOkay,โ€ Jennifer finally said, satisfied.

Right in the center of Nareigh, at the Topspin Tower, Benny and Jonathan were having drinks. Clint had helped design the building. Officially, it was called Topspin Tower, but young people said it looked nothing like a spinning topโ€”more like a pile of poop. So, behind closed doors, everyone called it the Poop Tower.

Clint remained unaware that his so-called masterpiece had become a running joke. Benny, however, knew all about it, and honestly, sometimes Clint really got on his nerves. Like back when Benny was in school and got caught playing games at an internet cafรฉ; Clint had grabbed him by the head and made him apologize to the teacher. โ€œIโ€™m a failure as a father. I didnโ€™t raise my son right. Itโ€™s all my fault,โ€ Clint had said.

From that day on, Benny occasionally spoke harshly to Clint. Years had passed, and heโ€™d simply gotten used to it.

โ€œI drank a ton in Jarisburg, then came back and had to drink with my uncle again. I still havenโ€™t recovered,โ€ Jonathan said, tapping his teacup instead of a wine glass. When Teresa wasnโ€™t in Nareigh, Jonathan went on a business trip to Jarisburg. That night, he got drunk and called Benny, saying he believed Teresa was seeing someone else and that he was letting go.

Benny could hear how despondent Jonathan sounded. He worried about Jonathan being followed while alone and drunk, especially after Simona had tailed him previously. Jonathan, slurring his words, said he was staying at a hotel and it was fine because his assistant would soon arrive. Looking back, Benny knew nothing really happened that night.

โ€œI was totally wasted,โ€ Jonathan said, a faint smile and a bit of softness in his eyes as he recounted the trip. โ€œTeresa stayed with me the whole night.โ€

Hearing his words, Benny nearly choked on his drink and started coughing.

โ€œWho?โ€ Benny wiped his mouth. โ€œYou found someone new that fast? And sheโ€™s also named Teresa? What does she look like?โ€

Jonathan snorted. โ€œShe looks exactly the same as the one you know.โ€

It finally clicked for Benny, leaving him speechless. He had always been convinced Teresa must have found someone else, fallen for another guy, and that was why she wouldnโ€™t return to Nareigh. Otherwise, he couldnโ€™t understand why sheโ€™d stopped talking to Miriam.
