Chapter 182

However, Raina did not plan to give up. She continued to call Jodie, so Jodie decided to switch off her phone. In the afternoon, Steven returned to the company alone. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

When the passed by the office area, Jodie lowered her head out of embarrassment His face reminder het of what had happened during her lunchtime, and the had never been so embarrassed in her life Moreover, she wondered what Steven would think of her upon knowing how much she spent I‘m not a wealthy person now, but I‘ve spent forty six thousand on lunch! Steven will think that I‘m a woman who

can‘t stop spending lavishly. He‘ll definitely make fun of me behind my back!

As expected, Raina was infuriated when Jodie arrived home at night. She tay on the couch with a darkened expression while switching channels on the TV

Jodie put the food containers on the dining table before going back to her room. It was a tiring day for her, so she was too lazy to argue with Raina. Raina could no longer hold the anger in her heart. She picked up the TV remote and threw it toward Jodie‘s bedroom door. “You unappreciative woman!”

Jodie ignored her mother. She lay down on her bed and switched on her phone. Suddenly, a piece of news popped up on the homepage of her social media: “The third son of the Swanson family, Jenson Swanson, announced to cancel the marriage with Waverly Gadway from the Gadway family this morning. He had a car accident around five o‘clock in the afternoon. The details remain unknown.”

She was not surprised by the fact that Jenson had canceled his marriage with Waverly. But then, she wondered why he would be caught in a car accident on the same day. Could all of those be pure coincidence? After all, Jenson had always driven his car safely. That was why she felt that things were not as easy as they seemed.

The first thing Jodie did was to give Margaret a call. Margaret was combing Tabby‘s fur when she received Jodie‘s call. Upon hearing what happened to Jensen, she was stunned. “What? Are you

serious?”

Jodie immediately sent the news to her. “You can read it yourself. Everything I say is true. That had happened only an hour ago, but the news spread across the Internet so soon. I think the Gadway family is the mastermind behind the accident because they feel embarrassed after Jenson calls off the marriage. I find it hard to believe that this is just a coincidence!”

Margaret tried to calm herself down. A moment later, she said, “Jo, find out which hospital Jenson is

staying in and how he is doing. Let‘s go and visit him together.”

After hanging up the call, she received an email on her phone. Opening the mail, she noticed that the subject indicated that it was about Jenson. Besides that, there was a voice message attached in the mail. As soon as Margeret played the message, Christopher‘s voice sounded, “I‘ve told you to do as / say. That‘ll be perfect for everyone. Otherwise, you‘ll have to bear the consequences on your own. You don‘t have the right to make any decision for your marriage with the Gadway family.”

Instantly, Margaret‘s mind was blown. She replied to the mail, asking: “Who are you? What does the voice message mean?”

Nevertheless, she did not receive any replies. Suddenly, she felt a little scared. Why would someone send me that voice message after everything happened to Jenson? Does that mean that Christopher has something to do with Jenson‘s accident?

Everything Margaret thought fell into place. Back then, Christopher forced Jenson to engage with Waverly as a condition for Jenson to return to the country. Since Jenson had decided to cancel the marriage now, there was no way that Christopher wouldn‘t do anything about it.

Even though Christopher drove Margaret mad most of the time, she always thought that he was not a

cruel man. Am / wrong about him?

Even though many things had happened between them, she still chose to get along with him well. Things did not get out of control as she thought that conflicts and hatred were not the only things in their relationships. They had spent more than ten years with each other, so he was the only family member she had. But then, she began to question herself what type of person he was.

“Christopher, the prawns today are really fresh! How should we cook it? Should we grill them or make some stew?” Nina‘s voice echoed from downstairs all of a sudden.

Following that, Elizabeth answered, “Let‘s make some stew. Mrs. Lewis should eat something that‘s easy on the stomach.”

Margaret opened the bedroom door and headed downstairs with Tabby in her arms. Nina‘s voice sounded again, “I think it‘s better for us to cook something more savory. We shouldn‘t waste such fresh prawns.”
