An Impossible Marriage

Chapter 122

Margaret was not a reckless person, and she wouldn’t lose her mind and yell. Hence, she only gritted her teeth and said, “Thank you for not letting her sacrifices for the past years go to waste!” With that said, she took the bank card, turned around, and left. Up till now, she could still remember every word Jodie told her about the relationship. Besides that, Margaret could also recall the helpless and sorrowful wordings Jodie used when sending Margaret a text to inform her about her breakup.

When Margaret arrived at the restaurant, she immediately saw Jodie sitting by the window. After calming her agitated emotions, Margaret slowly walked forward and took a seat.

Before Margaret could say a word, Jodie started blabbering, “Oh no! Initially, I thought I had secured a decent job. However, I can’t believe my boss is Steven Jones! Previously, I accidentally hit his car and even confronted him a few times. I don’t know anyone that will not hold a grudge! Hence, I’ll definitely have a hard time if I continue to work in his company. Instead of waiting for him to fire me, I might as well pack my stuff and leave..

At the moment, Margaret couldn’t concentrate as all she could think about was her encounter with Jack. If I pass the bank card to Jodie, it will undoubtedly mean that Jack is living a great life, as he could fork out millions effortlessly. I don’t think anything else can crush a person’s will more than telling the individual that the person’s ex is living a better life than them.

As Jodie noticed that Margaret remained silent, she was anxious. “Meg, speak up. What should I do now?”.

Coming back to her senses, Margaret said, “Jo, although I don’t know Steven well, I know he is on good terms with Christopher. People like them are usually quite magnanimous. Hence, I don’t think he will hold on to a grudge. In my opinion, you should continue working there and see how things go. I-I have something to tell you…”

Jodie rested her chin on her palms and stared at Margaret innocently. “Tell me about

it.”

“Jack came to my office to find me. He wants me to pass you something.” After thinking through the situation, Margaret didn’t think it was appropriate for her to keep the card. Based on Jodie’s temperament, she might have already let go of him. The money could probably help cover some of her losses.

“W-What did he ask you to give me? Haha. I doubt it will be something good. Besides money, nothing can make me happy anymore. It was wise of him not to find me personally because I might have hit him if he had!” Jodie sounded as if she was joking. However, Margaret could see the sadness in her eyes.

“He gave you money. Quite a lot of it too. The password is your birthday.” Margaret took out the card.

“Oh, that’s great. It looks like the time I’ve wasted on him is somehow worth it. Meg, I’ve ordered your favorite dishes. As you’re pregnant, you have to eat more! Tomorrow is a Saturday. How about we find the person who sent the letter to you? I’m sure you will feel relieved once you get to the bottom of your dad’s matter.” Jodie kept the card and immediately changed the topic.

At those words, Margaret nodded and didn’t continue. Although she could see the emotions in Jodie’s eyes, as her best friend, she didn’t want to call her out. Moreover, she had no idea how to comfort her, and perhaps this was for the best. This way, Jodie could keep her last shred of dignity.

Opposite the restaurant parked a black Rolls-Royce. Noah looked at the rearview mirror as he cautiously said, “I don’t think Mrs. Lewis contacted Jack. It was Jack who came to meet her. As for the money he gave Mrs. Lewis, I’m unsure of the reason. At the moment, only Mrs. Lewis and Jodie are having a meal together. There’s no one else…”

The man sitting in the backseat exuded a cold and terrifying aura. He shut his eyes and said in a low voice, “Return to the company.” Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

After getting off work, Margaret returned to the Lewis residence. As she did not see Christopher, she asked Elizabeth about his whereabouts. Upon hearing that, Elizabeth reacted joyfully and said, “Mrs. Lewis, I’m glad you are starting to care about Mr. Lewis!”

Normally, Elizabeth would not address Margaret as Mrs. Lewis when Christopher was not around. Hence, it was apparent that Elizabeth was teasing her now.

Embarrassed, Margaret replied, “Elizabeth, I was just asking for fun. I don’t mean anything by it.”
