An Impossible Marriage Novel

Chapter 147

As the door closed, Christopher showed a stern face again. He had always hated the gentle persona, but it had long become a habit after so many years.

When he was young, his father said to him, “You’re only a good person when others think you are; it doesn’t matter if you’re good or bad. Humans are visual animals who only perceive what you show them. This is the reality. The Lewis family can’t tolerate criticism from others. We have different personas, and even we ourselves don’t know which one is the real us.”

Because of that, Christopher learned to be observant when he was a child. In the past, his father used tricks to stand out among the rest to inherit the family business. He once loathed the use of such schemes, but eventually, he became that kind of person.

The acquisition of Swanson Corporation by Lewis Corporation caused an uproar in the business sphere. In the Lewis residence, Margaret was scrolling through her phone while holding Tabby and was stunned when she read the news. Recalling the reactions of Casper and Jodie when she asked about Jenson, she realized that she was the only one who did not know about the matter.

Tabby seemed to sense her emotion and rubbed the back of her hand with its paw. Subsequently, Margaret put the cat down, got up, and walked to the window to call Christopher. However, she quickly hung up a second before the call was answered.
