Chapter 118
Jodie asked in shock, “When did this happen? Who’s the person who secretly sent the letter? Did that person mention anything else?”
Shaking her head, Margaret replied, “No.”
“Seriously, that person should just tell us everything clearly. Why leave us hanging and make us guess?” Jodie complained.
Just then, the waiter served the dishes, and the famished Margaret immediately dug in. However, she was still thinking about the contents of the letter.
I’ve never believed that Dad was the cause of the plane crash. Back then, I was still young and dumb, so I went along with what the others said. As time went by, I believed their words and never thought about uncovering the truth myself. I also didn’t know where to start. Now, this case has resurfaced. I want to find out the truth and seek justice for Dad! Moreover, I won’t need to continue staying by Christopher’s side as a sinner! I don’t want to live in guilt forever!
Noticing that Margaret was wolfing down the food, Jodie declared, “Meg, how can you still eat at this time? This matter is regarding your father! If the contents of the letter are true, that means we can investigate and find out the truth about that case. In my opinion, Christopher is treating you this way because he thinks your father killed his parents. After all, that case caused an uproar in the city back then. He probably resents you deeply. If we manage to overturn the case, then you don’t owe him . anything anymore. Although he raised you, he also tortured you for all these years! You two are even!”
Suddenly, Margaret remembered she was pregnant, and she froze. We’re even? Even if we reveal the truth about the case and we’re even, what about the baby in my stomach? What should I do about my baby?
