Chapter 793:
Jonathan was puzzled about how Margo had established connections with Mechuiqueâs top officials, leaving him feeling deeply vexed.
Margo knew all too well how much Jonathan disliked her.
She said icily, âI know you canât stand me, but Iâm here because there is something important I need to discuss. If you help me with this, I promise you will never hear from me again.â
Margo genuinely harbored feelings for Jonathan, but affection paled in comparison to the desperate need to protect her family.
Besides, men had only ever added turbulence to her life, not calm.
Jonathanâs curiosity was piqued immediately.
Dealing with a woman like Margo was something he couldnât tolerate, and his family was urging him not to make any hasty decisions.
He found himself standing at a crossroads.
Jonathan knew just how far Margoâs obsession with him reached.
For her to make such an offer, her request would be monumental. Though tempted, he didnât give in right away.
âTell me what you want first.â
Margo didnât beat around the bush.
âJust tell me why Harlee acted against me, and Iâll never bother you again.â
Jonathan blinked. If Harlee hadnât mentioned it, he never would have known that Interpolâs recent arrest of Margo and Wesson was her doing.
Asking him to explain Harleeâs motives? That was like asking the impossible.

Jonathan reclined in his chair, his eyes flickering. Masking his real thoughts, he replied, âYou must be joking. You know Harleeâs methods better than anyone.
Asking me to unravel her intentions? Do you want me dead, or perhaps you are seeking a death wish for yourself?â
Margo froze, her expression faltering. She hadnât fully considered this aspect. She believed it was just a simple question about motives, forgetting that Harlee was not someone who could be easily figured out.
Feeling a knot tighten in her stomach, Margo knelt before Jonathan, marking the first time she had ever done so.
Jonathanâs breath caught in his throat.
âWhat are youâ?â
Margo remained on her knees, her gaze cast downward in a gesture of respect.
âWhat if I ask you to inquire directly from her? If you can get Harlee to tell you why she acted against me, Iâll never trouble you again.â
Seeing the usually proud Margo on her knees before him, Jonathan felt an odd sensation. In the end, his innate kindness won out.
âFine. Iâll agree to that.â
Margoâs voice softened in gratitude.
âThank you.â
With that, she turned and left without a backward glance. She trusted Jonathan. If he made a promise, he would keep it.
The reason she left in such a rush was simple.
