An Impossible Marriage

Chapter 193

Elizabeth smiled and answered, “All right. Why are you so embarrassed that I have to bring your lunch? Are you afraid that the rest of the people at work might see you as a baby? Well, you’ll always be a baby in my eyes.”

Margaret could not deny that it indeed felt that way.

After Elizabeth left, Margaret took her time to enjoy her meal. Everyone had already left the office by now. Suddenly, Margaret sensed someone approaching. Hence, she raised her head only to see Megan before her.

“I’ve got to say, you’re quite impressive, Margaret. I can’t believe you forced Christopher to leave me.” As usual, Megan was looking haughty as ever.

“Touché. Any woman would do the same. Considering all the things you’ve done to me, it’s too bad I couldn’t return the favor,” Margaret said as she continued to eat.

“Bah! Christopher doesn’t even like you. Otherwise, why would he still protect me even after he found out I was the one who knocked you over with my car and caused your miscarriage? You think you’re all that? Please. The only reason he hasn’t divorced you is because he wants to torture you slowly and get his revenge. Now that your father is dead, he has to settle his score with you. He doesn’t love you. Stop getting in over your head.” Megan gritted her teeth while talking. At that moment, she wanted nothing more than to rip Margaret to shreds. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

“It doesn’t matter if he loves me or not. I don’t love him anyway. Since he doesn’t want to divorce me, he can go ahead and torture me all he wants. However, I have the right to make things better for myself. Hence, it’s only natural that I remove threats like you away from his side. Wouldn’t you say so?” Margaret

was completely disgusted by Megan’s words, but she held it in. Right now, she had to put on a winning attitude, as she knew that whoever lost self-control first would lose.

Meanwhile, Christopher heard every word Margaret had said as he stood by the office door. His footsteps halted, and his face turned solemn. After a brief silence, he turned around to leave.

When he got into his car downstairs, Noah could not help but ask, “Mr. Lewis, didn’t you go in and eat with Mrs. Lewis? Why are you down so quickly?”

With a sullen expression, Christopher ordered, “Just drive. We’ll head back to the office!”

Noah had no idea what had happened, but he did not dare say more. He started the car and headed back to Lewis Corporation.

Back in the office, Megan was trying her best to suppress her emotions. However, when she saw Margaret’s calm expression, she felt her anger rising uncontrollably. Christopher had already cut off contact with her. If she pissed Casper off, she would be done for. This was Casper’s company, after all, so she did not want to cause a scene. Otherwise, she would definitely be throwing a fit of rage right now. “Fine. We’ll see who has the last laugh. You’re just some nobody anyway. I hope you’ll still be able to keep that smile on once Christopher has had his fun and kicks you out of the Lewis family!

It hurt Margaret to have salt rubbed into her wounds, but this was nothing compared to what she had been through thus far. She was already numb to it all. “Megan, is there anything else you want to say? If not, then leave. Otherwise, I’ll have to invite security to escort you out. I know you’re the high and mighty Ms. Sullivan, so I completely understand if you can’t find the way out yourself.”

Megan was absolutely fuming. She kicked the table in front of her and said huffily, “You just wait and see!”

Margaret felt much better as she watched Megan leave like a wounded dog. Sometimes, choosing to remain silent did nothing except forcing oneself into a corner. It paid to be a little mean sometimes, especially in this case, when Hannah and Megan were the ones who pissed her off first.

For the rest of the day, Margaret was absorbed in her thoughts about Waverly’s phone call. Waverly was right. Margaret could not deny her involvement in how Jenson got to where he was that day. The cancellation of his engagement, the accident… Even though there was only one voice message as evidence, it was still highly likely that Christopher was behind all of it. She should have taken more responsibility. Even if she had to be Christopher’s scapegoat, she still should have visited Jenson at the hospital.
