When She Turns Her Back Novel

Chapter 440 Chapter 441 Richard figured Teresa was just messing around and didn't really care. Instead, he said, "I'll have Harkins come pick you up." Harkins was Richard's personal driver. Teresa thought to herself, 'Richard actually sent Harkins to pick me up...

What does he want to talk to me about that's so important?' She was still reluctant to go, so she asked Richard again, "What exactly do you want to talk about?" Richard was starting to get annoyed and replied, "It's about your divorce from Charles." Hearing that, Teresa thought to herself, 'Is Richard pushing for the divorce because he saw the news about Charles and Naomi's upcoming wedding?' 'Once the divorce is done, Charles is free to marry Naomi.' Thinking about it, Teresa felt a bit annoyed. "If you want to talk about the divorce, you should ask Charles, not me.

As long as he's willing to go to the local court with me, it'll only take ten minutes to get it over with." Richard didn't respond to Teresa. He paused for a few seconds, then said, "Just come over. I want to hear your side of things. Harkins is already on his way to pick you up. It's your call whether you come or not." Before Teresa could get another word in, Richard hung up. Teresa stared at her phone, listening to the busy tone, feeling a wave of irritation she couldn't quite explain. After getting ready and heading downstairs, Teresa grabbed a quick breakfast.

Not long after she finished, a maid came in and said, "Miss, there's a Mr. Harkins outside. He says he's here to pick you up." Teresa knew right away it was Harkins. She hadn't really decided if she wanted to go to Logan Manor, but at that moment, she thought, 'If going there means Richard can finally get Charles to sign the divorce papers, maybe it's not such a bad thing after all.' So, she decided to go. Leaning on her cane and with the maid's help, Teresa headed out of the hall. Outside, Harkins finally saw for himself that Teresa really was hurt. "Mrs.

Logan," Harkins greeted her respectfully. Teresa looked up at Harkins and gave a quiet nod. "Mm." Harkins opened the back door of the car. "Mrs. Logan, please get in." Teresa eased herself into the car, careful with her injured leg, and buckled her seatbelt. E55 vouchers She kept quiet the whole ride back to Logan Manor, not bothering with any small talk or questions for Harkins. Before she knew it, the car pulled up in front of Logan Manor. As Teresa stepped out of the car and saw those familiar gates, everything suddenly felt strangely unfamiliar- like she was a stranger here now.

There was a time when she'd be in and out of this place all the time, just trying to please the Logan family and earn their approval. Thinking about it now, it's almost laughable. She really believed her genuine feelings could make a difference to a family so cold and distant. As soon as Teresa stepped inside Logan Manor, the servants all gave her weird looks. Some of them even started whispering behind her back. "She has the nerve to show up here when Charles is about to marry Naomi. She's got no shame at all." "Seriously. She used to kiss up to Richard just to get into the Logan family.

With a background like theirs, how did she ever end up as their daughter-in-law?" "If I were her, I'd be too embarrassed to come back here. Look at her, limping around with that cane, looking like a total cripple." The words stung Teresa, but she didn't let it get to her. She just walked right into the hall. When Teresa stepped into the hall, she found Richard sitting at the tea table, brewing tea in his old-school Chinese robe. His beard and hair were streaked with white, his face lined with wrinkles, but his eyes were as sharp as ever-like he could see straight through anyone.

Teresa limped over to the tea table, leaning on her cane. She greeted him politely, "Grandpa." Richard looked up at her, and when he saw she really was using a cane, his brows furrowed a little. After a moment of silence, Richard poured himself a cup of tea. He didn't even bother to invite Teresa to sit down. Instead, he ordered, "Go to the kitchen and make me a bowl of the noodles you always made for me. We'll talk about you and Charles while I eat." Richard's attitude toward her had changed ever since he learned Teresa had an abortion.

Before that, he'd at least been polite, sometimes even smiled at her. But after the abortion came to light, he changed completely. Teresa knew all too well that, in Richard's eyes, she would always be an outsider. When Richard told her to make noodles, Teresa started to suspect what was really going on here. Maybe this whole "let's talk about the divorce" thing was just an excuse-he really just wanted her back in the role of a housekeeper.

Back when she was desperate to win over the Logan family, she'd learned to cook just about anything they liked-she practically had everyone's favorite dishes memorized. Richard, Zack, Andrew... She could remember exactly what each of them liked, and could whip up dishes that'd get them singing her praises. Teresa stood by the tea table, her head slightly bowed as she kept her eyes fixed on Richard. She didn't say a word for a long time. Richard just stared back at her, waiting for her to give in. The tension in the room was thick, neither of them willing to back down.

After a long, tense silence, Teresa suddenly broke it. "Grandpa, I really don't think today's the day for this conversation. Let's save it for another time." As soon as she finished speaking, she turned on her heel, ready to walk away without looking back. Seeing Teresa about to leave, Richard cut in, "Let me make this clear-Charles does whatever I say. The divorce, the money you get, whether he signs or not, what you walk away with... all I have to do is say the word and it's yours. But if you keep up this attitude, well..." Teresa didn't even let him finish.

She gave a dry laugh, her voice dripping with irony. "If he really did whatever you said, then back when you told him to treat me better, he would've actually listened. Maybe we wouldn't be in this mess now." Richard caught the sarcasm in her voice and exploded, his anger boiling over. "You know, all of this-it's your fault! If you hadn't aborted that child, I never would've forced you two to split. Even if Charles never accepted you, I did. You'd always have had a place in this family." Teresa had heard enough. She didn't want to listen to any more of Richard's manipulative talk. "Forget it.

Charles and I are getting divorced-it's happening, whether you like it or not." With that, she turned and walked out of the hall without looking back. Richard glared at her retreating figure, so furious that he hurled his teacup across the room. Just then, Harkins walked in from outside. He came over to the tea table, bowing his head low, and asked in a cautious whisper, "Lord Logan, are you really just going to let her walk out like that? Didn't you want her to make you those noodles?" Richard spun around, shooting Harkins a furious glare.

"What am I supposed to do if she refuses?" Harkins raised his hand, making a throat-slitting gesture, and said to Richard, "Since she's being so stubborn, do you want me to deal with her?" 55 vouchers Richard shot Harkins a sharp look. "She's still Yolanda's mother. No need to be that ruthless." Harkins understood immediately. "Got it, Lord Logan. I know what to do. I'll handle it right away."
