Chapter 157
Jodie took the envelope, examined it carefully, and was immediately discouraged. “The mailing address
is the same as before. There’s no one living there at all. If this Mr. Xenos doesn’t want us to find him, we
really won’t be able to find him. He’s just like a ghost…”
When Margaret thought of her current situation, she felt a little hopeless.
She had just a glimmer of hope for Christopher before, but there was nothing left now. All she wanted
was to leave. She wanted to leave all this behind and live like a normal person, yet he insisted on
torturing her, refusing to let her go.
“Forget it, Jo. There’s no need to care about this matter anymore. Just… pretend as though we’d never
gotten letters from Mr. Xenos before. I’ve had enough.” Margaret was filled with negative emotions.
“Don’t give up, Meg. This has to do with your father. If he were wrongly accused, then you have an
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtobligation to clear his name. How far are you now? Are you already discouraged? We just need to find
Mr. Xenos, right? I’ll hire someone to find him for you. We shall not give up until we find that man!” Jodie
did not approve of Margaret’s approach and knew that the latter was only saying this because she had
suffered a setback.
“You’ll hire someone? Hah. There’s no need. I have money.” Margaret suddenly thought of something.
Yes, I can’t give up. I just have to find a person, right? As long as he’s still alive in this world, I’ll definitely
find him. If I can’t find him myself, I’ll hire someone to find him for me. Of course, I won’t use Jodie’s
money. I’m Mrs. Lewis, after all. Why would I not spend the Lewis family’s money and torture myself
instead?
It had taken her more than ten years to figure this out. In the past, she was an orphan taken in by
Christopher. Hence, she always thought that she owed him and would never be able to repay him.
Now, she had become his wife, and the torture he inflicted on her had made her feel less guilty long ago.
Once her father was proved innocent, she would no longer have to feel any guilt at all. By then, would
there only be hatred left between Christopher and me?
After leaving the cafe, Margaret glanced at her phone and saw that it was almost time for lunch.
Christopher must be having lunch happily with Megan and her family now, huh?
She deliberately did not avoid this time period and called him directly. When the call connected, she said
bluntly, “Give me money. I’m going shopping with Jo.”
Christopher was stunned and could not react for a while. How could a person who never reached out to
ask him for money before suddenly be so direct?
When Margaret did not hear his answer, she added, “What? You have money to mess around outside
but no money to support your wife?”
An unknown gleam emerged in the man’s eyes. “All right.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter hanging up the call, he directly transferred the money through his phone. The smile in his eyes
spread to the corners of his lips.
Megan saw that he seemed to be in a good mood after taking a call and could not help but feel slightly
upset. “Christopher, who was that? You look so happy after answering the phone…!!
The smile on his face faltered, and he said indifferently, “It’s no one.”
Seeing that, Hannah said in a low voice, “Megan, you’re talking too much. Don’t talk when you’re eating”
Megan shut her mouth, still feeling a little dissatisfied. A woman’s intuition was typically accurate. That
phone call earlier was definitely not from an ordinary person.
Margaret felt slightly conflicted when she looked at the transaction information on her phone. She never
imagined she could ask for money from Christopher so easily. Moreover, the amount he gave was not
small either.
Jodie leaned over to take a peek and clicked her tongue. “How nice it must be to have a rich husband!
Just one phone call and he gives you so much money. Well, are we going shopping now or are we going
to hire someone to search for Mr. Xenos?”
