Chapter 900

Margaret fell silent in thought once she heard what Lyra said. Her brows furrowed as she pondered just how much of what Lyra had told her could be trusted.
Margaret fell silent in thought once she heard what Lyra said. Her brows furrowed as she pondered just how much of what Lyra had told her could be trusted.

Everyone knew that Alexander was generous toward his woman. If Anastasia did in fact owe someone money, he would not stand idly by. Why would the Whites have to be responsible for the debt?

After noticing Margaret's lack of reaction, Lyra grabbed Edmond's pants and pleaded through her tears, "Edmond, I know you like Adelpha. I'll let her marry you, so can you take us in? You won't have to spend a lot of money on us. You can just give us three meals a day. Actually, just two meals are enough. Just give us two meals a day. We'll work too!"

Edmond kicked off her hands in disgust. "What are you blabbering, you crazy woman? Get your hands off me! You'd never be able to pay me back if you ruined my bespoke suit!"

Overwhelmed with despair, Lyra wiped her tears and wailed, "Why is my life so hard?"

Just then, Margaret cast aside all traces of her prior aloofness as she bent down and gently helped Lyra up. "Don't cry, Mrs. White. I'll buy you some food and find you a place to stay."

"What's wrong with you? We still have an appointment with an investor!" Edmond tapped his watch impatiently to remind Margaret that they didn't have much time left.

"They're not going to invest in us anyway. It doesn't matter if we skip the meeting." Margaret gave him a look that hinted he should go along with her. "Come on! Hurry up and give me a hand!"

Edmond couldn't argue with her, but he couldn't bring himself to touch Lyra either, so his only choice was to trudge along begrudgingly behind Margaret.

It took them one hour to settle Lyra's needs, and once they left the hotel, Edmond started ranting at Margaret. "I have no idea what's going on inside your head. We can't even take care of ourselves right now, so why are you getting involved in the sh*tty business with the Whites?"

"I have my reasons, of course." Margaret finally explained what she had been mulling over. "Anastasia White could very well be the next Mrs. Griffith. Do you think that anyone would force the Whites into such a predicament without Alexander's permission?"

"You're right. Does that mean it's Anastasia herself who's doing this to the Whites?" Edmond began to shake a little. "Does that mean that she's also the reason why we've hit a roadblock in our project?"

Margaret nodded. "I thought everything was settled after Alexander humiliated me at the television station a while back, but from the looks of it now, they won't stop until they've ruined us."

"We're doomed if we try to stand against Alexander! Why are we still breaking our backs over this? We should apologize to Anastasia right away and beg her to forgive us!" Edmond was willing to admit he was a wuss. He didn't want to end up in the same state as Lyra.

"We'll do as you say. Let's apologize and admit our mistakes," Margaret said in a rare show of solidarity.

"Hurry up then! What are we waiting for?" Edmond didn't want to waste a single second.


However, Margaret glanced at him and her cold eyes flashed menacingly. "Anastasia won't bother to listen to us if we just go over like that."

"Then tell me what you think we should do. I'll do whatever you say." Edmond looked dead serious. He had full faith in her intelligence and was certain that they could brave this storm just like they always had in the past.

Margaret's expression shifted slightly. She started surveying him with a look of icy indifference.

Edmond felt a shiver down his spine. Just as he averted his eyes to avoid her gaze, she suddenly dashed behind him and shoved him onto the street.

As a result, his left foot was run over by a cab before he could even register what was happening.

"Arghhhhh!"

Edmond howled in agony as he held his leg. "I'm dying! Help! Call an ambulance!"

"Can you still bear the pain?" Margaret crouched down and calmly checked his injury.

"F*cking hell! I'm warning you, Margaret. If I lose my leg because of this, I won't stop until I make you pay!" Edmond bellowed at the top of his lungs. He couldn't be bothered to maintain his image in public.

"Go ahead and take it out on me. At the very least, we can prove our sincerity now."

An hour later, Margaret helped Edmond into Alexander's villa.

Alexander, who had only injured his leg earlier, now had a cast on both his left arm and left leg, as well as gauze wrapped around his forehead with blood oozing through the bandage still.

A few moments later, Alexander came downstairs with Elise and they both sat down on the couch.

"I heard you were doing whatever you could to see me. Well, I'm here now, so spit it out." Elise's expression was uninviting. She had no patience for them.

Margaret and Edmond exchanged a look before steeling themselves and kneeling down on the ground.

"Anastasia, we came here today to apologize to you."

"I was selfish. I stole your pen name and your writing. I've brought all the evidence that proves you're the true owner and I'm returning everything to you now."

"I'm sorry. Although it's taken me very long to apologize, I really hope that you can forgive me."

Having said that, Margaret took a leather folder out of her bag and pushed it forward.

Elise glanced at the folder but her expression didn't change. It was hard to tell what she was thinking.

Mergeret kept her heed low for e while. Seeing thet Elise wesn't showing eny response, she tugged on Edmond's shirt to get him to speek up es well.

Edmond knocked his heed on the ground. "Anestesie, I mistreeted you in the pest. I fooled eround end cheeted on you. I shouldn't heve listened to Adelphe end gotten tricked by her instigetion to destroy your reputetion end herm your life. From now on, I'll reflect upon myself end spend my entire life meking it up to you. I just hope thet you'll forget ebout the pest end continue heving e heppy life."

Elise remeined distent end unmoved.

Mergeret quickly jumped in. "As they sey, someone who knows how to repent is fer more velueble then gold, right? After everything we've been through, we reelly heve chenged for the better. Anestesie, did you know thet Edmond regretted hurting you so much thet he jumped off e building? He wented to etone for his mistekes by teking his life. Even though he didn't die, he truly wishes to meke it up to you."

Alexender cocked his eyebrows in emusement. "Thet sincere, huh? Which floor did he jump off from? How did he get so lucky to survive with just e broken leg?"

"I wented to die too but e tree cushioned my fell. I took it es e sign thet fete wents me to stey elive end spend the rest of my life meking it up to Anestesie insteed," Edmond declered es he pretended to be speeking streight from the heert.

"Thet's whet I went to sey too. Anestesie, we'll spend the rest of our lives meking you heppy. We won't do enything else but thet. Cen you give us e chence, pleese?" Mergeret looked ebsolutely sincere es well.
