Chapter 86
That night, Christopher didn‘t come home. Margaret had a sleepless night again thanks to Jodie‘s
situation. She didn‘t sleep a wink. The next day, her pale complexion was a stark contrast to her dark eye
circles.
Jodie‘s phone was still switched off, and Margaret couldn‘t leave the house without Christopher‘s
approval. Out of ideas, she finally gave Christopher a call.
Christopher was discussing a contract with his business partner. When his phone rang, he frowned in
displeasure and switched it off without bothering to look at the caller ID.
After signing the contract, he went back to the hotel before checking his phone. His expression grew
stern when he realized the missed call was from Margaret. She doesn‘t call me usually
He dialed her number and waited patiently for her to pick up. However, an automated message soon
rang out, “Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently not available. Please try again later.”

connected, he asked, “Where is Margaret?”
Elizabeth glanced upstairs and replied, “Mrs. Lewis has been under the weather recently. The lights in
her room were on the whole night. I believe she didn‘t sleep well. She‘s currently sleeping.”
Christopher exhaled subconsciously. “Mm. Tell her to call me back when she gets
up.”
He had just hung up when another call arrived. This time, it was from Megan.
As he was exhausted from work, he decided to ignore her and rejected the call. Shortly after, Megan
called him again insistently.
Frustrated, he pondered briefly before answering the call. However, he didn‘t utter a word.
Megan‘s upset voice rang out from the other end of the line. Christopher, why did you hang up on me? I
tried calling you earlier, but the line was engaged. Who were you talking to? How long will your business
trip take? I miss you!”
A hint of disgust flashed across Christopher‘s eyes after he heard her sickeningly sweet voice. Calmly,
he replied, “Do I need to report to you where I am and what I am doing? Megan, please know your place.
You‘re only Margaret‘s stepsister, nothing else. Get it?”
Megan couldn‘t believe her ears. “W–What‘s wrong? Did you suffer a setback at work? I won‘t disturb
you. Please don‘t get mad at me.”
In a cruel manner, the man stated, “I should‘ve made things clear. You‘re merely imagining things.”
A hint of desperation crept into Megan‘s voice. “No, this isn‘t it! You said you like me! You even bought
me my favorite bags and a diamond ring. You‘d fulfill my every wish and bring me out to social
engagements! How could that be nothing?”
Christopher responded flatly, “Yes, I gave you everything you wanted, except for my love. We were
merely using each other to get what we wanted. Why are you taking it so seriously? If you don‘t know
your place, I can get another replacement anytime.”

Compared to Margaret‘s silence, Megan was too noisy. He never liked her and merely used her.
Megan stared at her phone screen that had dimmed and let out a sudden shriek.
Hannah pushed the door open hastily. “What happened?”
Megan bawled in such a hysterical manner that her ugly side was shown. “Christopher doesn‘t love me
anymore! Mom, what should I do? I called him, but he said I should know my place. If I can‘t do that, he
can get another replacement anytime! He said I‘m just Margaret‘s stepsister to him! That b*tch! He can
give me anything I want except for his love. What does he mean? He‘s the only one I want!”
After finding out what happened, Hannah said calmly, “All right, stop crying. Don‘t be pathetic. If he
doesn‘t like it when you contact him frequently, then don‘t do that and wait for him to contact you. It isn‘t
easy to conquer a man like him. Also, Margaret is your sister. You aren‘t allowed to insult her. This is the
last time. Do you
get it?”
