The Good Wife's Enemy 63: Gossip Maker
Harry took a deep breath and pulled his hand away. He frowned while looking at Margot. “A monster?” He clicked his tongue and shook his head. “You have no idea what a monster is, Margot. Stop spouting nonsense while I’m still being nice to you.”“Ah… Should I be grateful then that you’re being nice? You’re so full of yourself. How can you be like that after what you’ve done to me… To our marriage?” Margot clenched her fists. “You keep disappointing me, Harry. But maybe I should really stop expecting anything good from you. I just hope you cooperate so we can divorce peacefully.”Margot sighed and let out a dry laugh. “I mean, that’s the last thing you can do.”“Who says we’re having a divorce? I told you, Margot. I stopped seeing that woman,” Harry grumbled, his eyebrows furrowed.“So? It doesn’t change the fact that you cheated. Do you think it’s that simple?” Margot smirked. “I don’t even feel safe having you this close to me. Perhaps you should feel a bit of shame and move out alre

Margot hid her smile as she walked out of the restroom. She felt better after puking everything she ate for breakfast. Although it made her worry as her stomach was now empty, she decided to finish her work as soon as possible and get something to eat.“You’re here,” Vivian said, blocking Margot’s way. “I don’t know what mess you made this time but the Chairman’s secretary is looking for you.”Margot turned behind her and found her father’s secretary. She took a deep breath and shrugged. “I guess I have to wait until lunch to eat something,” she mumbled, turning around to the door.Margot hadn’t seen her father since the last time when she asked for a favor, letting her join Harry on a business trip, which her father ultimately declined. “I wonder how he’s doing,” she said, tapping her fingers on her arm while waiting for the elevator to stop.“Please come inside. The chairman is waiting for you,” her father’s secretary said after walking her to the door and knocking. “Sir, Miss Vande
The Good Wife's Enemy 65: Unwanted Visitor
Margot let out a groan as she sat back on the sofa. Her eyes shut as soon as her back rested, her body giving in to the exhaustion. She had a rough day after talking with her father. Since she didn’t want to waste time, she had to do something to save the company.She was drifting to sleep when she heard her phone ringing. Fishing the device from her bag, Margot checked the caller before taking it, smiling.“Attorney,” she greeted, rubbing her forehead, her eyes closed again. “How’s everything going?”“Miss Vanders…” Atty. Powell took a deep breath. “Everything is ready. I’m just waiting for your signal to execute the plan.”Pleased, Margot nodded and hummed. “Did you hear from Dad? He ought to know that there’s nothing to worry about. But knowing him, I bet he wouldn’t be able to relax until we get rid of those people in the company. Anyway, how about the other thing I asked for?”“Oh, that one. I’m still on it. I’ll let you know once the detective I hired sends me the report,” the l
The Good Wife's Enemy 66: Manipulation Gone Wrong
Margot was quite amazed when her mother-in-law and her husband’s mistress stayed longer outside the door than she expected. She was done changing into comfortable clothes and preparing dinner while the two remained, banging on her door. She tried not to but ended up calling the cops on them. Luckily for them, they left before the cops arrived.“I’m back. Did something happen?” Rosaline asked when she walked into the living room to find Margot in a daze.“Oh, you’re here. How’s the first day of the internship?” Margot smiled, wiping the frown off her face. She patted the space next to her, letting Rosaline sit.“It’s fine, I guess. I think I can do it,” Rosaline replied, sounding confident.Margot didn’t think of befriending Rosaline at first. But she was glad they were able to get to know more each other. She was surprised to find out how interesting the young lady was.“By the way, did my mother come here? I’ve seen her texts on my way home. She seemed upset,” Rosaline mumbled, her v

“Who’s that man you’ve been seeing every week? Did you think I wouldn't know about him?”Margot’s ears perked at Harry’s statement. She couldn’t believe he wouldn’t stop assuming things he did himself. “Oh, please. Stop it.”Harry’s eyes glinted from Margot's reaction. He was almost sure she was also having an affair behind his back. “I’m telling you, Margot. I’ll keep my lips sealed about it if you want. But you have to clarify that we’re not having problems and what happened at the party last time was a misunderstanding.”A sly smile formed on his lips. “What do you think?”Margot’s face was painted with disgust. “Go ahead. Tell everyone about what you think. I didn’t commit any atrocities, so I’m not worried. I don’t know what made you think I'm like you, but good luck anyway.”She walked away when Harry opened his mouth again.“Leo Brown,” he said, following her. “Isn’t that name familiar? You’ve been meeting him in secret, haven't you? Is it every Friday?”Margot halted, speechle
The Good Wife's Enemy 68: Preparing For The Storm
Margot didn’t go to work the next day because she had bad morning sickness. When Linda found out about it, she hurried home to accompany her.“I can’t believe what happened. Did that bastard hurt you?”Margot sighed before nodding her head slowly to her stepmother.“That bastard needs to be taught a lesson or two!” Linda roared, balling her hands into fists.Margot was surprised to see her stepmother like that. She realized Linda never acted that way until she told her about Harry’s illicit affair. She appreciated her company and couldn’t thank her enough for taking her side.“It’s okay. He won’t be able to do it again,” Margot replied before taking a spoonful of cake in her mouth. “I’ll make sure to send him where he belongs.”Linda bobbed her head with a gentle smile. “I’m glad to hear that. We’ll do everything so you’ll be free from that man,” she said, cutting another slice of cake for Margot. “I heard from your Dad that something’s happening in the company. He doesn’t know about
The Good Wife's Enemy 69: Resignation And Rumors
Margot grabbed her phone, calling the cops. She couldn’t believe Harry would be shameless to show up after what happened last night. She took a deep breath and waited until someone picked up her call.“Hi, this is Margot… Um… Walton. My husband, Harry Walton, who is already on your record for abuse, has come to my house again. I have a restraining order against him, and I feel threatened,” Margot said, looking at Harry who proudly held his banner.“He is currently on my doorstep, holding a banner that says ‘sorry’, but if you’ve been slapped and cheated on by this guy several times, that word wouldn’t be enough. I need immediate assistance to ensure my safety,” she continued. After giving her address to the cops, Margot called her lawyer.“Hello, Atty. Powell. It’s about the restraining order I requested that you process this morning… Hmm… Yes, please. I may need it. Harry’s back at my house,” Margot sighed, rubbing her temple. “I’ll be right there just in case. How about the matter

“I couldn’t believe rumors like that are spreading within the employees,” Margot said, shaking her head in disbelief. She headed straight to her father’s office after meeting with Vivian.“Rumors tend to be exaggerated. So, did you decide to quit? And here I thought you’d take my position no matter what,” Ryan smirked, observing his daughter’s reaction.Margot shrugged. “It’s not that hard. I’ll just wait until you peacefully give up that seat of yours, then we won’t waste any time, or I can just kick out the current CEO and maybe start from there before becoming the chairman,” she nonchalantly replied. “What do you think is the best option?”Ryan sighed. “It’s too early for my retirement. So, why don’t you take the second option? It will benefit both you and the company,” he grinned, relying on his daughter’s ability.“Oh! Why do I feel like you’re just using me to get rid of the people you allowed in the company in the first place?” Margot rubbed her temple. “Well, you’re in luck. I

Harry sneered at his wife. “Better plans? What, divorcing me? No wonder you wouldn’t drop the talk about divorce. You’re using Nadine to get out of this marriage while acting like a victim. Hah! I didn’t expect you to have it in you—”A loud bang interrupted Harry when Leo slammed his hands on the table.“Excuse me, but I don’t think you should be doing this in my office,” he said, glancing over at Margot. “Especially when I have an ongoing session with a patient,” Leo stated, his voice laced with threat and hostility, hidden behind a deceptive smile he honed for years.“A patient, huh? What do you know?” Harry lashed out, glaring at him. “Do you even have an idea that she’s married? What an ignorant fool,” he commented.Margot sighed in exasperation. “Stop making a scene, Harry. You’re only embarrassing yourself,” she muttered before turning to Leo. “My apologies for this disturbance. Thank you for your assistance until now, Dr. Brown.” She smiled at the doctor and headed out.“Come o

“Is everything alright?” Rosaline asked Margot, watching her vomit in the sink. The young woman looked horrified seeing her sister-in-law pale and gasping for breath.Margot nodded, wiping her lips. “Yeah. Don’t mind me,” she replied, but before she could make up an excuse, her stomach churned once again, leading her to continue puking.Rosaline watched her helplessly while rubbing her back. “I think I should call the doctor,” she said, feeling bad for Margot. “You look sick,” Rosaline insisted.“No, I’m fine. I’m almost done,” Margot smiled. She looked up after some time with teary eyes. “Relax. It’s fine. I’m fine,” she told Rosaline whose face was painted with concern.“Woah! That was longer than usual,” Margot muttered, washing her mouth. She smiled at Rosaline to reassure her that she was indeed fine. “It’s… Um…”Margot hesitated to tell Rosaline about her pregnancy. She wanted to keep it from Harry, after all. Not that she didn’t trust Rosaline, but she thought it would be bette
