An Impossible Marriage
Chapter 75

Chapter 75

Hannah was a little annoyed, but she kept her temper under control and remained silent. She had been married to a wealthy family for many years, so she knew that she should not lose her cool in public.

Obviously, Margaret would not beg Megan. “Why should I beg you? I've never been taught to give in to an uncultured person throughout nine years of compulsory education. If your mother is not standing right next to you, I would doubt if you have received any family education.”

Megan flew into a rage upon hearing that. She picked up the coffee on the table and splashed it on Margaret. Jodie hurriedly dragged Margaret behind her, and the coffee that was still warm was splashed on the former.

Jodie was instantly triggered and could not care less about the fact that they were in public. She pushed Megan away and yelled, “Do it again if you dare!”

Hannah was taken aback. She could not hold back any longer. “Stop it!"

Naturally, an arrogant person like Megan could not bear being provoked by Jodie. The two thus got into a fight. Hannah felt a surge of anger run through her. Upon noticing that the crowd was watching them, she felt utterly embarrassed. Panicked, she slapped Megan's face. “I said stop it!" With the loud sound of a slap, Megan was dumbfounded. Only after a few seconds did she cover her face indignantly. Tears welled up in her eyes as she gazed at Hannah in disbelief. “Mom... Did you just slap me?”

Hannah closed her eyes and said, “Margaret is your elder sister, so you shouldn't be acting unreasonably no matter what. Don’t you know that what you've done will cause embarrassment to the Jenkins family?”

Knowing that she was the one at fault, Megan did not dare to say anything more.

Margaret helped Jodie wipe off the stains on her body and left without looking back. Hannah chased after them for a while, but soon, she stopped in her tracks resignedly. She was no longer in the mood to enjoy drinking coffee. “Let's go home!”

"You go ahead. I'm not going back!” Megan said indignantly.”

Hannah did not bother to care about her and left.

Coming out of the cafe, Margaret felt a little guilty and said apologetically, “I'm sorry,

Jo."

Jodie’s anger had not subsided. “Come on! I can't just watch others bully you. It's not a big deal to be splashed with coffee, so don't feel bad about it. By the way, who were, they?”

Honestly, Margaret did not feel like telling her. Yet, she did not want to hide anything from Jodie. “They are my mother and my half-sister from another father. I haven't kept in touch with my mother for so many years, and I just met her recently.”

Feeling sorry for Margaret, Jodie stroked her head. “Oh... My poor Meg, I feel sorry for you. I can tell that your younger sister is not a good person. Let me know if she ever tries to bully you again. Now, I have to go back to get changed. I'm freezing!”

After the two bid farewell, Margaret took a cab home.

Driving a small old car that cost only a hundred thousand, Jodie felt terrible. In the past, her car had cost at least a million. Since the family got into trouble, she had gone from extravagant to frugal. Usually, she did not feel anything while driving this old car. However, as she was upset now, everything became more of an eyesore to her.

While driving, she suddenly realized that a car was following behind her. It followed her car closely no matter which way she turned. Jodie was certain that as long as she slowed down, the car behind would hit her.

Although she always seemed to be carefree, she was a girl, after all. Besides, she had never experienced something like that. As a result, she got panicked. With her hand trembling, she picked up her phone to call Jack.

Nevertheless, Jack's phone was turned off. Jodie thus called her father, Zachary, instead. The phone got through this time, but before she could speak, Zachary said, “I'm in a meeting now, bye.”

As soon as the phone was hung up, she hit the steering wheel in rage. Just then, she caught a glimpse of the underground parking entrance on the side of the road. Without thinking more, she drove into the underground parking. The parking lot was dimly lit, and it would be difficult for those who were not familiar with the place to find a way out.
