Chapter 81

Jodie had already expected Margaret‘s reaction. “Let‘s go, Meg. I‘ll beär any of the consequences.”

“What consequences? It‘s just an engagement party. You‘re being too dramatic.” Suddenly, Steven and

Casper approached them with a glass of champagne in their hands.

Jodie was a little flustered at the sight of Steven. She still remembered that he had made her call him

“Dad” in the parking lot the other day. “Go away. This is none of your business.”

Steven glanced at Margaret and said to Jodie, “I have no concern about you, but she‘s sort of my sister–

in–law. Don‘t do anything funny. It‘s useless.”

He‘s right. It‘s useless. This is all part of Christopher‘s plan.

With that thought in mind, Margaret smiled. “It‘s fine, Jo. So he just wanted to see my reaction. Let it be

then.” /

At that moment, she wondered if Christopher was feeling conflicted when he told her that she could stay

home if she didn‘t feel like attending the event. Yet, she thought that she was being ridiculous. After all,

he had never been merciful to her.

Suddenly, Steven saw Megan heading in their direction. He quickly stopped her in her tracks and said,

“You‘re not close to them, are you?”

Megan was still holding a grudge. Thus, she said with a frown, “Are you close to them? Don’t worry.

Margaret is my elder sister, after all. I won‘t do anything to her. However, I won‘t let the woman beside

her off the hook so easily.”

Steven then pointed at Christopher and said, “Go ahead if you want to stir up trouble. Yet, what will

Christopher think of you if he sees this? I don‘t think it‘s a good idea for you, the daughter of the Jenkins

family, to cause a scene on the Swanson family‘s big day”

Megan scoffed at his words and headed in Christopher‘s direction.

The pastor got onto the stage when it was noon and started his speech. However, Margaret was not

listening at all. Instead, she was feeling a little annoyed by the lovely piano accompaniment.

As the church doors opened, a beautiful couple stepped out of it. Margaret could not help but feel an

urge to cry when she saw Jenson. She thought of how much he had suffered because of her. In three

years, the once handsome, young man had matured. His smile was no longer as warm as it used to be.

Instead, there was a hint of bitterness to it.

Jodie held Margaret‘s cold hands tightly in hers and said in a low voice, “Don‘t cry, Meg. Don‘t let the

others see your sad face.”

Not only did Margaret not cry, but she was smiling. She was worried that her tears would bring bad luck

to Jenson‘s marriage, so she tried her best to smile.

His fiancée was so beautiful, and she was a perfect match for the son of the Swanson family. At that

moment, Margaret only wished him happiness.

As though there was some sort of attraction, Jenson‘s eyes landed on Margaret. At that moment, the

smile on his face faded, and his beautiful eyes were filled with sadness.

Margaret shifted her gaze within seconds after their eyes met. She could not bring herself to look at him.

Meanwhile, Jodie said through gritted teeth, “Meg, if I‘m not mistaken, Jenson‘s fiancée is wearing the

wedding dress you designed. Christopher is too much!”

Margaret only realized then that Jodie was right. She thought that Christopher had brought her to the

company‘s fashion exhibition because her work was on display. He had even taken her to Water Bay

Restaurant for a meal. For a moment, she thought that perhaps he had done all those things because it

was their wedding anniversary. However, she realized now that he only wanted her to remember what

her design looked like, and bringing her to a meal meant nothing special to him.

As expected from Christopher... His plan is always so perfect. Not only did he have me design a wedding dress for Jenson‘s fiancée, but he wanted me to see it for myself.

Still, that was not all that Christopher had done. What happened between her and Jenson was no secret.

Thus, his fiancée was aware of it as well. Even so, not only did she not refuse to wear the wedding

dress, but she even invited Margaret to deliver a speech to give her blessings as the wedding dress

designer.

Jodie almost burst out in anger at the sound of that. “Meg, don‘t go. We‘ll leave right away!”
