Chapter 245: That Man Destroyed My Life

Sitting in the car back to River City, Margaret looked gloomy. She held a big box of peanuts and kept rolling her eyes at the driver in front of her.

Julian was driving carefully. The two of them did not have much interaction along the way.

Passing by an intersection, Julian stopped the car. He slightly turned around and said, “You can sit in the front.”

He wanted her to sit on the passenger seat?

Didn’t that mean she had to be next to this man?

There wouldn’t be anything good if she sat next to him.

Margaret’s heart was full of silent criticism as she forcefully rejected it. “I think it’s good.”

“Don’t you think it’s too crowded?”

Julian looked at Margaret, who had shrunk behind him. Beside her were a few boxes full of peanuts and a few other boxes. Margaret’s luggage filled the entire trunk. The bags of peanuts could only be put beside her.

Margaret held a big box in her embrace. Couldn’t she feel uncomfortable with a box of peanuts on her?

Margaret thought, “Even if I’m going to die of these peanuts, I will not sit close to you! Never!”

“I’m fine. It’s very spacious here. I’m so thin. I can sit here.”

Julian glanced at her trembling but stubborn face. He didn’t want to care about her anymore.

She just tried to bear the pain.

The red light turned green, and Julian began to drive.

Margaret moved her body that was about to squeeze into a dried fish. She could not help but roll her eyes at the man sitting in front of her.

She wouldn’t give up so easily. She was not that kind of person.

However, when she thought of what Orlenna had said to her on the phone, Margaret suddenly became upset.

She took out her phone and sent a message to Hilla.

Margaret sent a crying meme.

Hilla didn’t know what happened and replied with a question mark.

Margaret said, “I’m going home. You have to prepare some delicious food for me

tonight.”

Hilla was still in a daze.

Margaret said, “I’m so young, beautiful, and rich, yet I have to accept a business marriage for the interests of my family. What a tragedy!”

Hilla replied, “To be honest, I can’t feel your sorrow.

Margaret said, “Why should I be sad?”

Hilla said, “Isn’t it a sad thing to have a business marriage for your family?”

Margaret said, “It’s those women who are stupid!”

Hilla was speechless.

Margaret said, “A woman who can have a business marriage for her family must be beautiful, have a noble status, and know what to do in different situations. Only then will she be able to gain the greatest benefits for her family through marriage.

Sitting on the sofa, Hilla couldn’t help but felt confused when she saw these on the screen.

Was there anything wrong?

At first, she thought that Margaret wanted to cry and complain to her. She was prepared to comfort her. But Miss Anderson did not seem to be against the business marriage.

Were all the Andersons so unreasonable?

Margaret said, “As a wealthy family like the Anderson family, we must have a woman to contribute to the interests of the family.

“I am the only daughter of my family in this generation. Naturally, this kind of thing will be my responsibility. Of course, I can’t disgrace my family.

“It is just a business marriage. It’s not a big deal. In the future, they will give me a lot of money. In addition, my brother and my mother will also give me money. My life must be more comfortable than now.”

Sitting on the sofa, Hilla looked at the words that popped up on the screen and finally felt relieved. It seemed that Margaret didn’t need any comfort.

Margaret understood everything. It was no wonder that Orlenna and Bruce did not have any other worries after talking about this matter. It turned out they knew Margaret would not be affected by this kind of thing.

Hilla was born and raised in a wealthy family. Still, she was going to marry into a wealthy family. She was used to this kind of business marriage.

When she was young, she knew that a girl like her would most likely become an accessory to the family’s interests. Before, she hated it, and all she thought about was free love.

Although the final result was that she married into the Anderson family for her family, she did not regret it.

Hilla did not expect Margaret to accept it so happily!

Looking at the words that she sent, Hilla didn’t sense a bit of displeasure. It was Margaret’s true thoughts.

Hilla admired Margaret’s forthrightness and frankness. Hilla replied, “I’ll cook some delicious food. I wait for you.”

As soon as Margaret saw Hilla’s message, she immediately smiled. With delicious food, she understood that Orlenna and Bruce were preparing to treat her with great hospitality.

As expected, she was going to contribute to her family. And she was loved by the entire family.

The more Margaret thought about it, the happier she became. She sat up straight when she thought about her status in the family.

Julian, who was sitting in front of her, looked at the woman through the rear -view mirror. She was holding a box of peanuts, frowning and smiling. She looked silly. It seemed that she would still be happy if she were sold to someone else.

…

“I’ll do as you say. Let Margaret and Julian go back together, but I’m surprised that they can be together.”

Halle put the food on Emily’s small dining table. She smiled when she saw Emily holding the child’s spoon and eating with a serious face.

Emily was a child who liked to be clean. Since she was a child, she would not get dirty things on her clothes. If she got dirty, she would ask someone to help her change her clothes. When she was eating, she would also eat slowly, in order not to dirty herself.

Sometimes, seeing her being like this, Halle could think of a person or a profession. “Very good. Margaret doesn’t seem to reject the business marriage.” As she spoke, Halle could not help but frown.

Margaret indeed didn’t reject this, but it did not mean that their marriage would be very smooth.

Margaret had always been outgoing, and she would be likely to change her mind.

Although Bruce and Orlenna hadn’t expressed their opinions, Halle could feel that the atmosphere on the table had changed a little over the past few days.

“Although Margaret is childish sometimes, she knew what to do. She and Julian will live a happy life!”

It was better than that two people who didn’t know each other and got married.

At that time, Halle had thought that she would also have a good business marriage.

However, later, she found out that her marriage was just a joke.

She lost everything due to the marriage, and thus, she was enlightened. Since no one loved her, she could only love herself!

…

Hilla saw Halle gently and carefully wiping the rice off the corner of Emily’s mouth in the video. She pursed her lips and said, “Halle, do you want to go back to River City with Emily?”

Halle paused and turned to look at Hilla in the video with a smile. “No, I want to go back when Margaret is engaged.”

She was willing to return!

Hilla was stunned, and for some reason, she was extremely happy.

Over the past year, she had persuaded Halle many times, and Halle had always been very resistant. She had never expected that Halle would agree this time.

Hilla didn’t dare to ask her why. She only nodded with a smile.

In the Lakeshore Center.

A black Land Rover had slowly stopped in the parking lot. Margaret held the box tightly in her arms and suddenly, she woke up from the dream.

She looked up and saw Julian sitting in front of her. She blinked her eyes.

It must be because she was sitting in this man’s car. Just now, she dreamed that she was going to marry Julian.

She was so scared. Fortunately, the car stopped and she woke up from her dream.

Her nightmare disappeared.

After straightening her back, Margaret snorted and said, “If it wasn’t for the fact that I couldn’t get a taxi in the countryside and my mother urged me to come back, I wouldn’t have taken your car.”

Julian turned around and calmly looked at her.

Margaret didn’t know if it was because she had been enslaved by him for a year in Far City. She now had a trace of servility. For a moment, Margaret felt that she needed to praise him since he was unhappy.

But fortunately, she came back to her senses very soon.

This man now had nothing to do with her!

“Margaret, can you not be so hypocritical?”

Julian’s voice came, and it sounded mellow and sexy in the carriage.

Margaret, who was pretending to be calm, was stunned. She stared at the handsome and compelling face in front of her with a surprised look.

If it weren’t for the fact that she couldn’t beat him, she really wanted to punch him right now.

“Who do you think are hypocritical?”

“You!”

Julian turned around and glanced at the heavy box in her arms. He didn’t know why she had to hold such a heavy box and sat in the back of the car. Was she a fool?

“You say that you don’t want to take my car, but you have sat in my car for a few hours and come back from the countryside. I don’t need you to fill my car or treat me. Shouldn’t you thank me?”

After Julian said these, Margaret was speechless.

She had been clever and quick-witted. But now, she wanted to give him a thumb up.

What he said was right and very reasonable!

“Thank you…”

Margaret said in a daze. Julian withdrew his gaze on her and turned back. A slight smile touched his lips.

“You’re welcome. Let’s get out of the car!”

“Alright!”

“Remember the peanuts.”

“Got it!”

Margaret thought, “What should I do? I’m used to be enslaved by him.”

She couldn’t understand Julian.

“Why are you still sitting in the car?”

Through the rearview mirror, Julian looked at Margaret who was in the back seat, and struggled for a moment. Then, she did not move.

Hearing his cold and dislike tone, Margaret felt greatly resentful.

She glared at the back of the man in front of her with moist eyes and said, “My legs are numb. Can’t you wait a bit? Why are you pushing me?”

Julian suddenly turned to look at her. Looking at her moist eyes and angry face, he felt that the frustration in his heart just now was gone.

Did she know what she should say or was she a normal woman? Did she know what she just said?

“Next time, speak less in front of outsiders!”

He couldn’t believe what he had heard just now.

After Julian finished speaking, he unfastened the safety belt and got out of the car.

He bypassed the front of the car and went straight to open the door for Margaret.

A black shadow flashed, and then the man’s smell came, which was familiar. She had

smelled it for more than a year, but every time she smelled it, she would still be immersed in it.

At this moment, she felt that the big box that pressed her all the way was taken away by a pair of powerful arms.

Julian stood at the door of the car, holding the box of peanuts. He frowned at her and said, “Are you feeling better?”

Margaret wanted to argue with him, but when she heard this, she changed her attitude and muttered, “Yes.”

After being pressed by a large box weighing about a hundred pounds for a few hours, she felt her legs were numb.

Margaret massaged her thigh. When she felt better, she looked up at Julian outside and said, “I think I can walk now.”

“Get off!”

“Alright.”

Margaret agreed. Since her legs were fine, there was no need for her to stay in his car.

As soon as Margaret got out of the car, Julian put the box into her arms and whispered, “Hurry up and go.”

The longer they stayed here, the longer he had to hold the box.

“Do you want to come and have a rest?”

After Margaret said this, she wanted to bit her tongue. She didn’t know why she had to say this. How could she invite a man to her house?

Julian glanced in the direction of the building, and his eyes were calm. However, his voice sounded tender. “No. I didn’t bring a present today.”

Margaret only wanted him to have a rest in her house and drink some water. What was he thinking? Did he regard her mother as his mother?

“Then I’ll go back first.”

It would be better if he didn’t go up. Margaret had just made a mistake. She was satisfied that Julian refused her.

Margaret carried a box of peanuts and walked towards the building with difficulty.

Julian looked at the clumsy and ’pitiful’ figure and chuckled. He had never seen such a cute fool. She was easy to be fooled.

“Mom, this is a box of fresh peanuts you asked for. Total forty pounds. I’ve brought it back to you. You can take it to sister-in-law.”

The moment she entered the room, Margaret smiled. Fortunately, she was a human being without a tail. Otherwise, Orlenna would have been dizzy by her swaying tail.

No matter what, Margaret, who had just returned from the countryside, seemed very good.

Orlenna’s gaze swept over her body. With a cold face, she said in a deep voice, “Do you know that you are going to get married?”

Margaret grabbed a handful of peanuts and peeled one for Orlenna before saying. “Mom, have a taste. I just dug it out from the soil this morning. It’s very fresh.”

Orlenna ate two peanuts with satisfaction and then looked up at her.

Margaret said, “Mom, don’t worry. I am your daughter and the third daughter of the Anderson family. It is my lifelong mission to sacrifice my marriage for our family.”

When Orlenna heard what she said, she felt very upset and said in a soft voice, “I didn’t mean that. It won’t be that miserable. Julian is a good person. Since you two love each other, I just want to help you.”

Margaret was shocked. Who did her mother mention?

Did the bastard leave? If not, she would go down to kill him.
