An Impossible Marriage

Chapter 142

As soon as Margaret said those words, she hung up on Hannah and blocked the number in one go. Once she did everything, she let out a long sigh.

As expected, Christopher did not return to the Lewis residence at night. On the next day, Margaret went to work as usual with gauze on her forehead. Although her body was still weak, she did not want to stay home. Only at the office could she feel that she was still alive.

Casper knew she had gotten in a car accident, so he felt a little worried upon seeing her at the office. “Do... Do you want to rest a few more days before coming back to work? You can take a month off. I will give you paid leaves.”

Margaret flashed him a faint smile. “Mr. Flemmington, I'm fine. You should continue with your work."

Casper frowned. For some reason, he felt that she was acting a little different than usual, but he could not tell which part of her had changed.

While he was hesitating whether or not he should continue convincing her, a coquettish voice sounded. "Casper...

Casper shuddered and even had goosebumps all over his body. He could tell it was Megan just by listening to the tone.

With her head lowered, Margaret continued with her work in silence. However, she was trying to suppress the anger in her heart.

"Why are you here? I'm working, so don't disturb me and mind your own business.” Casper had never liked to deal with Megan and only interacted with her out of respect for Christopher.

“I'm on my way to send Christopher my homemade cookies, so I decided to come and give you and Margaret some along the way. Why do you sound so angry?” Megan put two boxes of cookies on Margaret's desk.

Margaret was disgusted, so she pushed the cookies onto the ground.

With that, the entire office fell silent. Megan put on a pitiful expression as she raised her voice purposely. “Margeret, what are you doing? I'm just trying to be kind. Why

do you have to be so mean? Are you still angry with my driver because he accidentally hit you with his car and caused you to miscarry? Didn't we agree to settle it in private? He didn't do it on purpose... Besides, he's merely a driver, and I've fired him. Why are you angry with me?”

After a moment, she continued, “By the way, I heard the driver crash into Jenson’s : car. Why were you in his car during office hours? Did you have something important to discuss with him? Speaking about that, you were really unlucky. If you had stayed in the office, that would never have happened...”

A deadly silence descended over the office once Megan finished her utterances.

Margaret was enraged but also found her words amusing. “Are you criticizing me for thinking ill of you and insinuating that I'm still entangled with Jenson when I'm Christopher's wife?”

Megan pouted. “I didn’t say that. Don't put words in my mouth... After all, when your indecent photos with Jenson were exposed three years ago, it caused quite an uproar. Anyway, you're now married to Christopher. Don't you think you should keep a distance from him? The baby you lost in the accident... Does it belong to Christopher? Can you tell me the truth?”

While speaking, she blinked her innocent, doe eyes as though she had said all of those unintentionally.

Margaret was unusually calm. “No. It's not his child. Are you happy now? Can you take your stuff and get lost now?”

Those present in the office gasped. No one expected her to admit to cheating on Christopher in front of everyone.

Casper was also taken aback by her words. “Margaret, you can't say whatever you want in a fit of temper! Let's calm down and talk about that after work. Now, you should continue with your work first. Megan, didn't you say that you were going to see Christopher? I'll see you off!”

Megan nodded in agreement. Suddenly, she leaned toward Margaret's ear and whispered, “I'm the one who hit you with the car. Do you have a problem with that? Mom knows it was my doing, yet she still helped me to settle all of this. You're just a b*stard child that nobody wants. Christopher should keep a pet dog instead of keeping you as his wife, The b*stard inside your womb deserved to die!”
