An Impossible Marriage

Chapter 143

Upon hearing that, Margaret exploded with anger. She picked up the stuff on her desk and threw them at Megan as if she had lost her mind. “You’re the one who deserves to die!”

Casper did not know what triggered her outburst, but he instinctively dragged Megan to the side. Files, a pencil case, and a pot of tiny cactus fell hard on his back.

At the sight of their superior getting hurt, the rest of the employees could not stand by anymore. They swarmed forward to stop Margaret. “Calm down!”

Margaret was pinned to the desk. When her abdomen was accidentally knocked against the corner of her office desk, pain flared up her body. Moreover, the wound she sustained from the car accident was throbbing. Nevertheless, she was unbothered by them as those were nothing compared to her broken heart.

Hannah had abandoned her again after so many years. Everything she had done that time around was far crueler than how she left her when she was young.

Back then, Margaret thought her mother left her because she was not obedient enough. It was then she finally realized that the woman would only leave more and more scars on her heart. Megan is right. Nobody wants me!

“That’s enough! Let go of her!” Casper panicked as soon as he came back to his senses.

“Casper, are you okay? Your face is bleeding..” Looking distressed, Megan took out a piece of tissue to wipe his wound. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

However, he turned his head away with a grim expression. “It’s fine. Hurry up and leave. Stop causing any more trouble in my office!”

Since Megan had achieved her goal, naturally, she did not want to stay there any longer either. The sight of Margaret going berserk pleased her greatly.

Casper asked Margaret to follow him into his office. After closing the door, they gradually calmed down. “What did Megan tell you just now?” he asked, breaking the silence.

She replied expressionlessly, “Is that important? I’ve always wanted to do that since the moment she appeared. You deserved it.”

His lips twitched slightly. “Yes. I deserved it. Women are so scary when they fight. Anyway, I think both your physical and mental conditions are poor now. Seriously, you should go back and take more rest. I’m not the kind of boss who exploits his employees. You… You’ve just experienced a miscarriage, so you need to rest for at least half a month.”

That time around, Margaret made no further objections and walked out of the office swiftly.

After leaving the company, she did not head back to the Lewis residence. Instead, she sent a message to Jenson: Are you okay? I was the target of the car accident. I’m sorry for dragging you into this.

Jenson quickly gave her a call. “I’m fine. It’s just a scratch. What about you? Are… Are you okay? You said that you were the target of the car accident. What do you mean?”

Margaret did not want to tell him that nauseating story. Hence, she decided to keep it to herself. “I’m fine. Please don’t ask about it anymore. Everything’s fine as long as you’re okay. I’ll hang up now. Goodbye.”

Then, she ended the call before he could say anything.

Jodie was still working, so she did not want to disturb her. With nowhere to go, she decided to take a seat at a random coffee shop. After ordering a cup of latte, she sat by the window and gradually relaxed

while staring at the bustling streets.

Suddenly, she noticed a dirty stray cat walking over to the window. Although its body was covered with dirt, its fur was white. It scrutinized Margeret with a pair of blue, curious eyes as if it had found something fascinating.

A smile appeared on her face unconsciously. She reached out an arm and pressed her palm against the window. Surprisingly, that stray cat lifted its paw and pressed it against her palm through the glass. Right then, she made a decision to take it in.

After bringing the stray cat to a vet for a bath and treatment for deworming, she went back to the Lewis residence with it. At the sight of the cat, Elizabeth was so alarmed that her face paled, “Meg, where did you find this cat? I think Mr. Lewis is allergic to cat fur, so he doesn’t allow anyone to keep a pet at home…”
