Chapter 150
Eventually, Leila and an elite from the design department got assigned to attend the contract signing. The two departed to Lewis Corporation that afternoon. Once they left, a tattler could not help but blurt out, “Margaret, you’re Christopher’s lawful wife. Aren’t you jealous that some other woman is having a meal with your husband?”
Margaret did not even raise her head. “Why should I be jealous? A dog will always be loyal to its owner.”
