Irene shouted, “What, are you trying to hand me over to the cops? Listen, Jonathan’s dad has been dead for thirty years, and your mom is gone too. Back then, I didn’t do anything wrong. Who’s going to judge me?”
Gary yanked his hand away, shot Irene a glare, and let out a cold laugh. “You’re right. All the witnesses and evidence are gone. What can I even do to you? Even if someone does put you behind bars, it won’t be me. But trust me, someone will.”
“Who would dare arrest me? And Jonathan would never let that happen.” With Jonathan as her son, Irene had always acted like she was untouchable.
Gary spat at Irene, his eyes full of contempt. “Honestly, I wish Jonathan would be the one to throw you in jail, because you’re not fit to be a mother at all.”
Irene let out a mocking laugh. “Me, not fit? And your mom was? Please. It’s not your place, as the son of a mistress, to lecture me.”
Gary clamped down hard on Irene’s shoulders. “You’re downright vicious, hurting people on purpose!”
Irene forcefully shoved Gary off. “Even Jonathan hasn’t said a word to me. Who do you think you are to judge me?”
“That’s only because Jonathan is too soft–hearted! If it weren’t for him, do you think I’d let you act all high and mighty here? I know how much he’s hurting. Do you? Have you ever seen Jonathan afraid of anyone?
“But he almost strangled the woman who made his child come early. Did you know that? He could kill someone else, but what about you? You’re his mother. When you screw up, what’s he supposed to do?”
Irene was stunned for a few seconds, not expecting that Jonathan had actually almost killed Yalena.
She mumbled to herself, “Jonathan was too reckless. It’s all that Teresa woman’s fault. She’s the reason he almost became a killer. It’s all because of her!”
Gary was so exasperated he felt like coughing up blood. He thought, ‘Maybe Jonathan feels just as helpless. How can a person think like this?‘
Maybe in Irene’s eyes, as long as she didn’t like someone, that person could do no right, no matter what they did.

“I used to think I was pitiful because I didn’t have a dad. But now, I think Jonathan is even more pitiful. He doesn’t have a dad, and with a mom like you, it’s as if he doesn’t have a mom either,” Gary
said.
As soon as Gary finished, Irene’s face changed instantly. “Who are you calling motherless? Are you wishing me dead or something?”
“Am I wrong? Having you as a mom is no different from not having one at all. All you ever do is make your son miserable, angry, and torn apart. As his mother, have you ever once thought about how he feels?” Gary shot back.
Irene pressed her lips together and suddenly lowered her head. Gary grabbed her arm and snapped,
“Get out of here, and don’t ever come back.‘
“I’m not leaving! Where the hell are you taking me?” Irene shouted, but Gary had already shoved her
into the car.
Back with Teresa, she and Evelyn went back to Rosary Estates.
Teresa was totally exhausted, inside and out. But the moment they got home, Evelyn immediately started grilling her about what had happened.
So, Teresa finally spilled everything, leaving nothing out.
Evelyn’s heart ached. “I get it now. Hannah’s been back for a while, right? And now she’s been
sentenced to nine months?”
Teresa rubbed her forehead. “I thought she’d only get six months. I’ll ask if we can appeal.”
