Chapter 141
Christopher’s hand that was flipping through the pages of the document paused. However, he was quick
to recover his repose and said, “This matter has ended, so there’s no point bringing it up again. Besides,
the perpetrator was caught. Do you understand me?”
Margaret froze and even stopped breathing for a moment. She could feel a deep gash forming in her
heart.
It’s not that he doesn’t know the perpetrator is Megan. He doesn’t want it to be her… In the end, he
covered up the truth even when Megan had almost killed me and caused me to miscarry…
After a short period of silence, she stubbornly said, “What if I want to overturn the case? What if I still
want to pursue the truth? I don’t care if Megan is your lover or not. If you want to protect her, that’s your
problem. I’m the victim here, so I have the right to decide whether or not I want to keep pursuing the
case!”
Only then did Christopher close the document and look up at her. He was expressionless as he said,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“You said it’s my problem if I want to protect her. So do you think there’s any meaning to it if you pursue
the case?”
She was speechless because he was right. He was Christopher, a prominent figure in the whole of
Dellmoor. On the other hand, she was known as Mrs. Lewis, whom many women envied, but in reality,
she was a worthless accessory to him. He could abandon her at any time. How can I win against the
person that he wants to protect?
At the end of the day, the ten years’ worth of feelings he had for her were nothing but piled up hatred.
That was why their relationship was so fragile and why he could be so cruel.
A doleful smile tugged on her lips. “If that’s the case… I don’t owe you anything else. I got pregnant
because you wanted a child, but the person you’re protecting killed it. You two are the reason that the
child couldn’t be born. Let’s end things here. Tell me, when are we going to sign the divorce papers?”
Fredrick, who was standing at the side, could not watch them any longer, so he interrupted the heated
conversation. “Mr, Lewis, this matter is not Mrs. Lewis’ fault. Please reconsider.”
Christopher did not expect her to bring up the topic of divorce. Narrowing his eyes as he stared at her, he
exuded a dangerous aura. Then, he ignored Fredrick and said to her, “I told you before. You can only
leave after you give birth to a child. What
rights do you have to request a divorce when you didn’t even fulfill our agreement? Besides, is that child
even mine?”

Tears formed in Margaret’s reddened eyes, yet she continued smiling: “For the past thirteen years, I’ve
lived my life in fear. You’ve underestimated my courage. In my eyes, there is nothing in this world that is
scarier than you. With your intelligence, you should’ve done a paternity test the day I miscarried. You
have two choices now. You either divorce me and let me leave, or I will make you regret it one day!”
It was the first time he had seen her like that. At the same time, it was also the first time he had heard
her speak her mind. For some reason, he began to panic and had to play with the pen in his hand to stay
calm. “I’ll look forward to it then.”
After getting his answer, Margaret did not stay for a second longer. When she left, she purposely took

carefree and do whatever she wanted.
Upon returning to the car, Fredrick asked, “Are we going back to the Lewis residence, Mrs. Lewis?”
Margaret’s emotions were unstable from the earlier situation. Drained by all that had happened, she
leaned against the seat and replied, “Yes, let’s go back.”
All of a sudden, Hannah’s call that she had hung up earlier popped up in her mind, so she took out her
phone and called her back. The call soon connected, and before Hannah could say anything, she asked
directly, “You know that the person who crashed into me is Megan, don’t you?”
On the other end of the line, Hannah sounded like she was sobbing. “Meg… I’m so sorry. I have no
choice. She’s also family. I also have my hardships… I’m sorry.”
Margaret sneered. “Yes, you have your hardships, and I deserve to have a miscarriage and be almost
killed. Didn’t you say I should do you a favor because you gave birth to me? I owe you one life. Now…
with my child’s life, I no longer owe you anything.”
