An Impossible Marriage novel Chapter 129

Chapter 129

Margaret was not a fool. Hannah did not look for her often. Every time she did, it was because of the Jenkins family. There was not a single time was it purely for the meager and pitiful mother and daughter relationship between them.

With a doleful smile, Hannah said, “You’re smart, just like your father. Yes, I came to ask for a favor. However, I wanted to see you too. I told you before that the Jenkins family is struggling, and Christopher has refused to collaborate with us. That leaves me no choice but to come to you. This partnership is very important to the Jenkins family. You might not know about this, but all enterprises in Dellmoor want to ingratiate themselves with the Lewis family. Whoever forms a connection with the Lewises will flourish. Not only does the Lewis family have strong financial resources, but working with Lewis Corporation means gaining both fame and fortune.”

Margaret replied sarcastically, “I’m curious. Why come to me when you have Megan?” She did not forget how her birth mother had allowed Megan to be Christopher’s mistress despite knowing that he was her husband and even persuaded her to leave. It was simply disgusting.

The older woman seemed embarrassed when she spoke. “Meg, I know that you hate me. When Megan and Christopher were together, I wasn’t aware that you and he were married. Yes, I asked something unreasonable of you, but I also stopped Megan from seeing Christopher. They have not been contacting each other as frequently. You noticed that, didn’t you? As long as you help me, I promise you that Megan will never disrupt your life with Christopher again. I… I will also never appear in front of you ever again.”

Margaret laughed in exasperation. “Are you trying to negotiate terms with me? As long as I help you, you will help me get rid of my husband’s mistress and disappear from my life? Would you have done this for Dad and me? Is that man so important to you? So important that you abandoned your husband and child to live such a shameless life? Stop the car!”

Once Hannah pulled over by the roadside, Margaret opened the car door as she refused to stay any longer. When she got out of the car, the former said, “It doesn’t matter what you think. I’m going to die soon, anyway. Perhaps you’d feel better once I’m dead.”

Margaret bit her lip and walked away without turning back. Even though she was enraged at that moment, she could not stop herself from feeling sad at the thought of how the woman she had hated since childhood was about to die.
