All Chapters of The Good Wife's Enemy: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

“I can’t believe this. You have something to do with this, right? Did you put something in my food or what? I wouldn’t have to suffer this humiliation if you didn’t play a trick behind my back!” Harry glowered at his wife in frustration. He just finished his thirty-minute session in the toilet and went straight to their bedroom where Margot was trying to fall asleep. Margot rolled her eyes and covered her ears, something she had never done to her husband before as it would have been deemed disrespectful. She yawned and stared at Harry who was still fuming. “What are you talking about?” She asked, feigning innocence. There was no way she’d admit to what she did when Harry kept lying to her. “I don’t understand what you mean, honey. If you’re done with your business, why

Leo couldn’t help but frown as he read through the same file for hours. He didn’t have any scheduled patients and he spent his time checking about a certain patient’s medical history. He knew he shouldn’t bother as it was not included in his job, but he had been sleepless for weeks.Ever since Margot cried during her session, Leo couldn’t forget her tear-stained face. It was all he could see whenever he tried to close his eyes to sleep. And whenever he managed to take a nap, Margot would be in his dreams or maybe his nightmares, crying and begging for help.Leo should do something about it. If he couldn’t get rid of Margot’s effect in his system, he might get involved in something he should avoid.“Hannah, how’s the task I gave you? Did you confirm if the patient will be coming today?” Leo asked his assistant, still glaring at the documents in his hands.“Yes, but…” Hannah hesitated for a moment until Leo raised his head to look at her.“What is it? Did she say something?” Leo clenched

Margot meant it when she said she was going to start working on the same day she was hired. After a brief introduction with her team, she started checking the competitive analysis for similar products that the company was about to launch. Everything was fine, but she wasn’t fully satisfied. “This is not going to work,” Margot stated as she let out a deep sigh. “I can’t believe they’re wasting a lot of money on products like this. Anyone could sell the same beauty products these days. Do they really think the company would profit from this?” She took off her glasses and brushed her hair up. It was only the first day, but Margot couldn’t sit still and do nothing when she saw a lot of errors in the way the previous manager managed the products they sold. 

Margot woke up to the gentle taps on her cheek. She was welcomed by Leo who looked at her with a frown. She didn’t realize it before, but Leo seemed to love frowning a lot.“We’re here. Let’s get something to eat first, then I’m sending you home,” he said, tilting his head outside. Going out for dinner wasn’t in his plan. But just before Margot could tell him her house address, she fell asleep.Leo considered waking her up, but she looked tired, so he went ahead to get a reservation in a restaurant and parked his car outside for a couple of hours, watching Margot sleep.“Ah, now that you mentioned it, I’m starving. I only had a sandwich for lunch and compared to the energy I spent working, a sandwich was not enough,” she said, forcing a smile.“I knew it. You were whispering like a ghost when I called you earlier because you’re hungry, right? Let’s go. It’s my treat,” Leo smiled and got out of the car. He rushed to the other side to open the door for her but Margot was already outside.

As the chairman of a huge company, every day was like a battle for Ryan Vanders. He never wasted his time arguing with people he couldn’t beat. He would rather avoid getting into such a mess than explain himself. When Margot was born, Ryan was glad he had a daughter. He was more grateful to have a daughter than a son, who might end up causing him headaches when growing up. It was two decades later when he realized that a daughter was scarier than a dozen men. “Yes. I’ll be coming home tonight. I’m looking forward to—” “Dad!” Ryan jolted from his seat. It had been a while since he heard that familiar scream. “Margot? What happened?” he asked his daughter who was looking at him in disappointment. He didn’t know what caused her to do that but he could already guess it wasn’t going to be a hell of a battle. Margot rushed before him and slammed his table. “Why would you let that woman in the company? You even allowed her to have an executive position! When your daughter asked for a job
