Theresa, the Doomsday Queen
"Don't get angry, Tania. They're just a bunch of idiots. I'll handle them for you, so don't waste your energy." Herold held Tania tenderly as he comforted her. Theresa and Bennie were at a loss for words. "You've got to get justice for Terry. She's my only niece, and I treat her like my own daughter." "Your daughter is mine too. Whatever happens to Terry is my business. I won't let anyone bully her," Herold said, taking out his phone to make a call. Before Theresa even left the airport, she read about Oliver's fiancee breaking off the engagement in their family group chat. She cursed Oliver's family as frauds, pointing out that he didn't even own a house, his job was arranged through connections, and he had been investigated by superiors—all of which had affected her at work. She even shared a photo of herself at the hospital registering for an abortion, then left the chat. After Oliver sent her a few desperate messages, he frantically gathered relatives to scrape together money to plead for his wife. Theresa remained silent throughout the entire ordeal. "From now on, with us around, no one will be able to bully you!" Tania looped Theresa's arm through hers, seeing that she was still in pajamas and slippers. "Come on, let's go buy you some clothes." Theresa was stunned speechless. Watching this, Bennie couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. He handed Theresa a business card. "If there's ever anything I can help you with, don't hesitate to reach out." Young girls at her age needed such treatment. If they'd been wronged, their family would back them out. They should be cherished and protected without having to struggle alone. After exchanging contacts with everyone, Bennie left. Theresa had come to pick them up in her car, and they all bundled into the car along with Summer. Just as she pulled out of the parking spot, a cab drove in.A group of school-aged kids, all in uniforms, chattered excitedly as they got out of the car. "Mila, did you have fun this time?" Ian held a pretty girl's hand. "I did!" she replied brightly. "Mila, Ginny, Phoebe, let's take a photo!" Dawn suggested. The four girls huddled together in front of the airport entrance for a photo. "Best friends forever, and never apart!" "One, two, three… Cheese!" A few boys were behind them, carrying their luggage. They had brought a lot, and the driver had come down to help. Theresa watched them through the rearview mirror, noticing Declan on the phone while helping the guests with their bags. He looked impatient as he said, "I know. Once I finish this job, I'll go back for Dad's birthday. Have you ordered the cake? Did you get the one I asked for? Don't mess it up! "Stop calling me annoying. I'm always repeating stuff to you! You're my sister, but I feel like your parent! It's Dad's 70th birthday, Charlotte. Don't mess it up!" Theresa couldn't help but laugh. She drove away from the airport, following Tania to the largest mall in Ansford for some serious shopping. It was familiar territory for her. Seeing all the glittering displays and realizing she already had most of these clothes, she played the part of a human mannequin. Tania bought everything she liked. If it suited Theresa, it went straight into the shopping bag. It felt as though the entire mall knew the God of Shopping had come to bless them. The store manager of a baseball jacket shop even came out personally, offering the most enthusiastic service. "Try this new baseball jacket, Miss. It's our latest collection, and I think it'd suit you perfectly." "We don't need to try it. We'll take it!" Tania waved her hand decisively. Theresa was speechless."Thank you for visiting! Please come again!" The manager, along with the staff, bowed ninety degrees after they left. By the time they were done, it was already evening. Tania dragged Theresa to dinner at a top-tier, pet-friendly restaurant. They even served meals for pets. Tania ordered a large spread, including a top-quality steak for Summer. While everyone was eating, the lights suddenly went out, and a spotlight shone on the table next to Theresa's. Gentle piano music flowed through the room like a stream, and a waiter appeared with a bouquet of roses, approaching the table in the most romantic fashion. The man plucked the ring box from the bouquet and got down on one knee.
