Chapter 129
Margaret was not a fool. Hannah did not look for her often. Every time she did, it was because of the
Jenkins family. There was not a single time was it purely for the meager and pitiful mother and daughter
relationship between them.
With a doleful smile, Hannah said, “You’re smart, just like your father. Yes, I came to ask for a favor.
However, I wanted to see you too. I told you before that the Jenkins family is struggling, and Christopher
has refused to collaborate with us. That leaves me no choice but to come to you. This partnership is very
important to the Jenkins family. You might not know about this, but all enterprises in Dellmoor want to
ingratiate themselves with the Lewis family. Whoever forms a connection with the Lewises will flourish.
Not only does the Lewis family have strong financial resources, but working with Lewis Corporation
means gaining both fame and fortune.”
Margaret replied sarcastically, “I’m curious. Why come to me when you have Megan?” She did not forget

husband and even persuaded her to leave. It was simply disgusting.
The older woman seemed embarrassed when she spoke. “Meg, I know that you hate me. When Megan
and Christopher were together, I wasn’t aware that you and he were married. Yes, I asked something
unreasonable of you, but I also stopped Megan from seeing Christopher. They have not been contacting
each other as frequently. You noticed that, didn’t you? As long as you help me, I promise you that Megan
will never disrupt your life with Christopher again. I… I will also never appear in front of you ever again.”
Margaret laughed in exasperation. “Are you trying to negotiate terms with me? As long as I help you, you
will help me get rid of my husband’s mistress and disappear from my life? Would you have done this for
Dad and me? Is that man so important to you? So important that you abandoned your husband and child
to live such a shameless life? Stop the car!”
Once Hannah pulled over by the roadside, Margaret opened the car door as she refused to stay any
longer. When she got out of the car, the former said, “It doesn’t matter what you think. I’m going to die
soon, anyway. Perhaps you’d feel better once I’m dead.”
Margaret bit her lip and walked away without turning back. Even though she was enraged at that
moment, she could not stop herself from feeling sad at the thought of how the woman she had hated
since childhood was about to die.
At the Jenkins residence, Hannah saw a pair of expensive men’s leather shoes the moment she entered
through the door.
Despite knowing that her husband, Justin Jenkins, was home, she did not feel much joy. Instead, she felt
tired.
She ignored the cheerful chatters of the father and daughter duo in the living room and headed upstairs
to the bedroom.
When she exited the bathroom, Justin was rummaging through her handbag. “What are you looking for?”
she asked, frowning.

Hannah looked at the item in his hand, then snatched it and tore it. “It’s just a fake medical report. I don’t
need it anymore.”
Justin’s countenance eased a little. “That scared me. I thought you’ve really got cancer. Why did you
make this fake report? By the way, I heard from Megan that the partnership with Lewis Corporation did
not happen. What happened? Didn’t I tell you to find Margaret? Why did it turn out like that? I sent you to
talk business, not reconcile with Nicholas’ daughter.”
Hannah looked at the man in front of her and remained silent. Although Justin had reached middle age,
his face still retained some of the handsomeness from his youth. Because of his good looks and the
deep love they shared that year, she married into the Jenkins family without hesitation.
Justin’s parents had looked down on her because she had given birth before, and it was her second
marriage. After the two passed away due to illness, she had pulled through and felt that her life had not
been in vain. Yet, in the face of the Jenkins family’s crisis, her husband forced her to look for Margaret
and even made insinuating remarks.
