However, Raina did not plan to give up. She continued to call Jodie, so Jodie decided to switch off her

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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtnews 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

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.”
