An Impossible Marriage

“Are you doubting my hearing ability?” Jodie asked annoyedly.

Margaret was not in the mood to talk about anything else. “I‘m not. All right. We‘ll talk more next time. Christopher is at home, and it isn‘t convenient for me to talk about Jenson. I‘ll hang up now.”

After hanging up, she immediately called Hannah. The latter picked up the phone and asked coolly, “Meg, why are you calling me now?”

Margaret became even more suspicious when she noticed Hannah sounded overly calm. The latter must have guessed that Jodie would tell Margaret that she was at the hospital. That was why she seemed exceptionally calm when she picked up the phone and did not even bother pretending to sound affectionate.

“You were lying to me when you told me you have cancer, weren‘t you? Before this, I even hoped that it was just a lie. But now, I really wish that it was true! You‘re really disgusting. You make me feel ashamed to be your child. How could you use me and lie to me? You used me for the Jenkins family, for that man, and for Megan. Your daughter knocked me over, caused me to suffer a miscarriage, and even used the driver as a scapegoat. Not only that, you were the one who settled it for her. Like mother, like daughter. Very well indeed. Hannah, I‘ll make you regret this. I‘m not

like Dad, and I won‘t be so foolish to love you unconditiona

Hannah was silent for a moment before she responded, “If I didn‘t lie to you, would you have helped me then? I had no other choice back then. No matter how you view me to be, your image of me is already deeply rooted in your mind. There‘s nothing else that I can ask for. I just hope you‘ll remember that I‘m here for you if you need someone to turn to in the future.”

When Margaret heard her response, she was utterly disgusted. “Drop the act. Besides, I haven‘t helped you in any way. When I asked Christopher for help, he didn‘t agree to it. You should thank Megan instead for seducing someone as powerful as Christopher for help!”

With that, she immediately hung up. When she came back to her senses, she realized that tears had been streaming down her cheeks.

“Are you crying?” Nina‘s voice suddenly sounded from behind her. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“Nope.” Margaret hurriedly wiped away her tears and turned around. She did not want to embarrass herself in front of others.

Despite that, Nina refused to let her off. Instead, she raised her voice and asked, “Margaret, why are you crying? I think I heard you talking to your mother over the phone just now. You even mentioned Christopher. So you‘re not an orphan after all! You even have a mother.”

Margaret stopped in her tracks once she heard that, then spun around and looked directly at Nina. “Shut up! Do you think it‘s fun to broadcast other people‘s business?”

Nina pursed her lips at Margaret‘s words. “No. It‘s just that I‘m curious about why you‘re crying so hard. Such a poor thing. Tsk. Tsk.”

Just then, Christopher walked toward them. Although he did not say anything, his gaze seemed to be questioning them about the situation.

Margaret ignored him and headed upstairs.

After a while, Christopher opened the door and entered. “What‘s wrong?”

Margaret looked up at him with reddened eyes. “Are you only dating Megan because you like her, or is it because you want to take revenge on me? Huh? Just take it that I admit defeat. Just how much do you hate me for you to go to this extreme? You married me, then dated my half–sister. Besides that, not only did you tolerate her killing our child, you even stood up for her and helped the Jenkins family afterward. If you genuinely like her, then please just let me off. If you‘re just doing this to take revenge on me, then I concede. I‘m no match for you. I‘ll use my whole life to repay what I owe you. But please stop making things difficult for me!”

She paused for a while before speaking again. “I don‘t care how much you detest me. I‘m already the most pathetic person on earth! Even I despise myself! My mom... Even my own mom covered up for Megan with you, lied to me that she had gotten, cancer, and forced me to beg you to help the Jenkins family. What a joke! I can‘t believe I fell for all this. If Jo hadn‘t bumped into Megan at the hospital today, I would still be kept in the dark. Enough! Enough of this! I‘ve had enough of this!” she screamed in exasperation.
