An Impossible Marriage

Chapter 139

Hannah forced herself to calm down. “O-Of course. I couldn’t have remembered the matter wrong. Megan was fighting with me at home. She went out drinking too much the day before, so her friend was the one to send her home; she left her sports car ! there, so I had the driver get the car the next day. I never thought that an accident would happen. Yes, I remember it clearly. Regardless of everything, we’re the ones at fault because the driver’s working for the Jenkins family. Just tell us how we should resolve the matter. We’ll agree to anything.”

Christopher did not reply to her immediately. Staring at him, Hannah bit down hard on her lip, nearly breaking the skin..

A moment later, he finally said, “You’re Margaret’s mother, and Megan’s her stepsister. We’ll have to settle this in private. I’ll have someone talk to you about this matter. I have something else to do, so I’ll take my leave first.”

At that, Hannah let out a sigh of relief. “Okay, please take good care of Margaret. I… won’t be visiting her.”

Christopher did not respond. He only stood up and left with a mocking sneer on his face.

After settling the matter at the police station, Hannah returned to the Jenkins residence. Megan was anxious at home, and when she saw Hannah, she hastily went up to her. “Mom, how was it? Did Christopher suspect that I did it? He doesn’t know that it’s me, right?”

In the next second, Hannah slapped her. “I can’t believe you’re shameless enough to ask that!”

When Justin saw that his precious daughter was hit, he ran over to stop Hannah. “What are you doing? Is the daughter you had with Nicholas that important? I hope you remember that Megan’s your daughter as well! She’s our daughter!”

Hannah was filled with nothing but rage as she looked at the father-and-daughter duo. “Justin, do you know that your dear daughter tried to murder someone? She’s committing a crime! Why are you still defending her at a time like this? I shouldn’t have gone to the station to deal with this; I should’ve just let you continue making a mess out of this, Do you know what this means? Huh? Even if I’ve settled the matter, Margaret had a miscarriage. Who’s the baby’s father? It’s Christopher! Will he save the Jenkins family after this? Keep dreaming!”

Finally, Justin realized how grave the matter was. He then began grumbling, “Megan, why didn’t you think before doing this?”||

Megan pitifully wiped her tears away and mumbled, “It’s because Mom won’t let me see Christopher again. I love him so much. Without him, I can’t live. I only did this because I was so, so angry. Moreover… I didn’t know she was pregnant! Still, I’m glad she had a miscarriage. There’s no way I’d let her have Christopher’s baby!”

Livid, Hannah thought of slapping her again. However, she realized it was too tiring to keep staying angry, so she huffed, “The two of you can do whatever you want. I don’t care anymore!

With that said, she headed upstairs to return to her room. The moment the door was locked, her angry demeanor seeped away, and her face softened, tears brimming her eyes.

After mulling over the entire matter, she took out her phone and called Margaret. However, the latter rejected her call. Finally, the tears in her eyes streamed down her cheeks Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

On the other hand, in the hospital, Jodie looked at Margaret and asked, “That was your mother, right? Are you really not going to pick it up?”

“We have nothing to talk about,” Margaret responded flatly.

Jodie frowned and fell silent. By the time she left the hospital, it was midnight. When she went back home, the place was empty but messy.

After cleaning everything up, Jodie collapsed onto her bed, no longer wanting to move. A while later, she reluctantly called Raina. Once the call went through, she heard the sounds of shuffling cards.

Without a doubt, Raina must be playing poker again. Annoyed, she snapped, “Can you stop playing poker? Look at the time! Are you going to stay out the whole night?”
