Chapter 197 Had It Coming

Jonathan pursed his thin lips, his gaze dark and gloomy as he watched Teresa devoutly praying with clasped hands, finding it ridiculous that someone like her would dare to pray. “Prayers of the faithful are effective, while the heavens won’t even 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 couldn’t help but rebuke.

Teresa raised her eyes, a subtle hint of something unreadable passing through her watery gaze. She slowly released her clasped hands, tears welling up in her eyes. “What else can I do now? Even if Heaven is unwilling to help a sinner like me, my son is innocent after all…”

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.”

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’s hand, giving it a comforting squeeze.

Did he offend you in any way?” She then put on a frightened look and hurriedly explained, “Don’t get me wrong, I’m just asking.”

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 brother. How could I suspect you of harming your own brother?”

seemingly gentle words sounded kind and harmless, but to Michael, they meant something entirely different. His face changed drastically, and he quickly stepped up to Jonathan, glaring at him without any reservation and angrily demanding, “Did you cause Christopher’s accident today? Tell me the
