It was unlucky to talk about death.

Margaret frowned and said, "You are my man. You have to work for me. Did I let you die?"

"No!"

Julian replied obediently. Only then did Margaret feel a little satisfied.

"I am your boss. Only I can make decisions for you. Remember that you have already sold yourself to me."

She should hit those people in the Jorgansen’s. What a pity!

When she gave birth to the child, she would kick their ass!

She would hit them ten times!

It was mild that she only hit them once or twice.

"Alright. I know that you are my boss."

Julian patted his shoulder and said, "Boss, hurry up and put the ointment on."

"It sounds like he takes her as a servant. Is she a servant?" Margaret thought.

Could he talk to her in a proper way?

Although she didn’t like his words, she felt sad when she saw the wound on his back.

She lowered her head and seriously put the ointment on his back.

While doing, she complained.

"Aren’t you good at fighting? Even if you can’t beat them, you should run away. Only idiots will kneel there and let them hit out."

"Are you stupid?"

As she spoke, she used more strength to move the cotton swab.

She was still angry and hated those people.

Julian felt the pain in his back and groaned. He turned his head and said, "Are you going to murder your husband?"

He was heavily injured. But she didn’t treat him gently.

It was right that women were ruthless.

Margaret rolled her eyes and said angrily, "I would rather kill you than let you beat to death by them."

"It is OK that I kill you."

As Margaret spoke, she clenched her fists and looked fierce.

Julian laughed, "Yes, but I don’t want to die like this. I want to die ’on’ you."

He stretched out his arm and put his arm around Margaret’s neck. Then he pulled her down.

Suddenly, Margaret was in his arms.

She nudged him, "What are you doing? I haven’t finished putting the ointment on."

Didn’t he feel the pain?

His back had been beaten so badly that he was still teasing her.

The ointment and cotton swab in her hand was taken away.

Margaret frowned and was about to speak. But she heard Julian say, "No need to do this. It’ll disappear later, and you have to do it again."

"Not only my back hurt. My heart also hurts!"

As he spoke, he held Margaret’s hand and placed it on his chest. He chuckled, "Aren’t you going to comfort me? I’ve been traumatized."

What?

Margaret frowned and said, "Stop it."

The wound on his back was still bleeding. Although it was not much blood, it looked shocking.

But Julian seemed like he didn’t feel the pain. He was still in the mood to tease her.

Margaret wanted to get up, but Julian tightened his arms around her and held her firmly in his arms.

She couldn’t get away.

"I am serious. Think about it. How many days has it been? You can’t let me do it once a week."

"Isn’t it enough for you?" Margaret wondered.

She blushed and whispered, "I am pregnant. Can you do that with me?"

"I couldn’t do it before. But now I think it’s OK," Julian thought.

In the living room downstairs.

Because Julian was injured, Orlenna made soup for him.

She looked up and saw Margaret slowly coming down from upstairs. She said, "I asked you to go upstairs and put the ointment on him. But it takes you a few hours."

After that, she pointed to the outside and said, "It is dark! You are so capable!"

Being scolded, Margaret said with some dissatisfaction, "You can’t blame me for this. The patient didn’t cooperate. What does it have to do with me? I even suffered

a loss."

Margaret said her last sentence very quietly and blushed.

Orlenna glanced at her and pointed to the plate on the table.

"Alright, you don’t have to come down. Bring all the food up for dinner."

Margaret looked at the food on the table. It was obviously suitable for injured people to eat.

"Mother, what’s wrong with you? I’m pregnant and feel uncomfortable. But you don’t allow me to eat in my room. How can you allow him? His back is just a little injured. He can still walk and eat!"

She was Orlenna’s daughter and wasn’t allowed to eat in the room. How could Julian be allowed to do that?

Orlenna looked at Margaret, who was unhappy. Orlenna said angrily, "You know why!" "How would I know?"

Margaret muttered. Orlenna gave a half-smile, "Of course it’s because I value sons more than daughters. How can I treat my daughter and son the same? Hurry up and take this. Let my son have dinner!"

Julian didn’t eat anything after going through all of this.

Margaret said nothing.

She didn’t know how to retort. She thought for a while. Then she said.

"I used to think that it is unlucky to be your daughter. Now I can’t even compare to Julian. You shouldn’t have a daughter. You should have two sons!"

After that, she said angrily, "When I give birth to a son, I will abuse him every day. I won’t give him food or new clothes. You will see how I treat my son and daughter."

Margaret muttered as she walked to the dining table.

"I still have one in my belly. My unborn child and I can’t compare to Julian. It is unfair."

Margaret said it in a low voice. But Orlenna still heard it.

Orlenna responded, "If you don’t want to do this, just don’t go. Leave him alone upstairs. If he is hungry, he will go downstairs to find something to eat."

Hearing this, Margaret raised her head.

Looking at Orlenna, she said in disbelief, "Mother, you’re really vicious!"

Her father, who died young, was unlucky.

Why didn’t he choose a gentle and considerate wife?

Perhaps Orlenna’s appearance deceived everyone.

Margaret sighed as she carried the food upstairs.

Orlenna, who was behind her, glanced at her unhappily.

In the room upstairs.

Julian changed his shirt and was slightly stunned to see Margaret carrying food.

Margaret said weakly, "Your mother-in-law prepared it for you. Hurry up and eat. If you’re full, you can continue to do what you like."

Margaret sat weakly at the table. She didn’t look at Julian but took two bites of rice.

Then, without waiting for Julian, she put all the dishes she liked into her bowl.

She wanted to silently oppose Orlenna’s behavior. She would eat all of the food.

This was her silent resistance and her final stubbornness.

She felt unhappy!

In the Jorgansen’s.

When Sophie came out of the courtyard, she saw Sally standing there waiting for her.

Sophie frowned and said coldly, "I have promised you. You have to give me some time."

Sally’s face was cold. She responded.

"I can’t wait any longer. A month is too long. I can’t even wait for a week. Three days. I want Jessie to come back in three days."

Sophie’s expression changed because of Sally’s words.

Sally was pressing Sophie.

Everyone pressed Sophie and felt that she was wrong. But she was in such a bad situation. No one sympathized with her or helped her.

"Three days is impossible. I have told you that it is not easy to settle this. Julian’s men have been watching Jessie. As soon as she leaves, Julian will know. If you want her to come back early, you’d better think of a way to get rid of Julian."

Sophie said coldly. When she thought of Brittany’s attitude in front of the Andersons today, she knew that she couldn’t count on Brittany.

Seeing Julian gain power, people in the Anderson family would fawn on him.

They wouldn’t help her.

Sally looked ugly, "I’ve already handed the thing to you. It was you who couldn’t deal with him. Instead, you were tricked."

"Margaret is rich and powerful. The Jorgansen family can’t afford to offend her family."

Sally was not a fool. She had heard what Orlenna said in the Jorgansen’s.

The Anderson family gave Julian so many shares. They gave these shares as dowries when their daughter married. It was surprising.

And they dared to directly challenge the Jorgansen family in the Jorgansen’s. The Andersons clearly didn’t care about the Jorgansens.

The Jorgansen family would suffer losses if they provoked the Anderson family.

It seemed that Brittany didn’t say anything as she got some benefits. But they who had been by Brittany’s side for several decades knew the real reason.

Brittany dared not to offend the Anderson family. They were less likely to do it.

They didn’t say anything, not because of those shares. In fact, they were afraid that the Anderson family would fall out with them.

Thus, they had to agree with Orlenna.

The Anderson family could gobble up the Nash Group with the help of three great families and the government.

Not to mention the Jorgansen family.

Brittany wasn’t stupid. She wouldn’t do anything bad to the Jorgansen family. "Can’t afford it?"

Sophie sneered after hearing Sally’s words. "Sally, do you want your daughter back or not?"

They had to do it even they couldn’t afford to offend the Anderson family.

She didn’t believe that the Anderson family would give up everything for a daughter who was married.

Sophie gritted her teeth and suppressed her tears.

Sally, who was standing to the side, looked ugly and nervous.

She realized that Sophie was crazy.

It was not easy to end her relationship with Sophie.

"What will it cost to bring Jessie back?"

Sally gritted her teeth. Her daughter Jessie was still abroad. Those people were watching Jessie too closely. Sally couldn’t get Jessie back home by herself.

Although she had given a lot of money to those people, it was still hard.

Every time Jessie video called her, it broke her heart to see Jessie’s red and puffy eyes from crying.

Thinking of this, Sally was desperate to get Jessie back home.

She was willing to be manipulated by Sophie. Sally gritted her teeth and was about to speak.

A voice suddenly came out, "She can’t do it. Jessie will never come back."

A man said it with amusement. Sally and Sophie turned their head in surprise.

Sophie’s expression changed when she saw the man walking out from behind her. She said angrily, "You came here to say this?"

"He wants to piss me off!" Sophie thought.

Andy smiled and stepped forward to put an arm around Sophie. Then he kissed her cheek.

Sally frowned.

She didn’t want to see this. She didn’t want to see how they made out. She didn’t care.

She only cared about her daughter Jessie who was alone abroad.

"What are you doing?"

Sophie pushed Andy away. Then she said.

She pushed him not because she felt embarrassed to be kissed in public. She was angry at him because of his attitude just now.

She was very unhappy.

She lost everything. Did it have nothing to do with him?

Why could he keep calm when she lost everything?

"I want Julian and Margaret to die. Otherwise, I will reveal everything that we have done. At worst, we die together."

Sophie’s eyes were red. She was completely enraged.

Sally, who was standing to the side, looked serious.

Sophie was pressing her.

Brittany didn’t know what Sally had done. If Brittany knew, Sally couldn’t stay in the Jorgansen’s.

With a cold face, Sally said in a low voice, "Take care of your own matters. I only want Jessie back. Don’t forget what you promised me."

Sally glanced at Sophie and quickly left without hesitation.

Few people would come to the small garden.

After Marcos was disabled, he had been living in the most remote corner.

He had a bad temper and didn’t like others getting close to him.

Thus, the surroundings of this courtyard had been desolated. And the servants did not dare to come over for no reason.

That was why Andy dared to be so unbridled.

Although Sally had left, Sophie still could not calm down.

Before Sally spoke, Andy said with a cold face, "You are still talking nonsense with her. Brittany is asking someone to get you."

Brittany was not a fool.

Sophie deliberately stirred up trouble. Although Brittany seemed to have taken advantage of the Anderson family, she also lost face in front of the Anderson family.

Brittany couldn’t let others manipulate her.

Before Orlenna left, she said to Brittany, "You have a good granddaughter -in-law. Is she the eldest daughter of the Nash family? She really takes good care of Margaret."

"But I heard that something happened to the Nash family recently. Don’t be too worried. Take care of yourself."

"Margaret will give birth to the child in a few months. I would like to ask Sophie to teach her then."

Although Orlenna didn’t say it clearly, Brittany knew what she meant.

Orlenna couldn’t say such things to Brittany for no reason.

Orlenna mentioned Sophie.

It was obvious.

Orlenna meant that Sophie walked over Margaret. Letting the Nash family go bankrupt was a warning.

If the Jorgansen family didn’t settle this, Orlenna would come to settle this by herself after Margaret’s child was born.

And Orlenna mentioned that Sophie was also pregnant. The Jorgansen family was going to have two children!
