However, this matter is not as simple as hiring someone to commit murder.

The gangland revenge killing model doesn't work among the truly upper class.

After all, in free countries, capitalists are the real controllers.

So-called gangs are mostly just lackeys who pick up their scraps.

Similarly, when Hong Kong gangsters were at their most arrogant, they dared to challenge the military and police. But unless it was a ruthless out-of-town gangster like Cheung Tze-keung, have you ever heard of a native gangster going up against those wealthy and powerful families?

If Tony Wendis really dared to let Joe recklessly kill Margot.

If Joe were to go to jail one day and implicate himself, even if the police didn't bother him, Margot's father's friends would definitely not let him off the hook.

Therefore, Tony Wendis had to devise a flawless plan to completely extricate himself from the situation, one that even if Joe implicated him, no one would believe him.

Before he even called Joe over, the plan had already taken shape in his mind.

However, Tony Wendis will not tell Joe the whole plan at the beginning.

“I need you to do more than one thing, but don’t worry, none of them will be difficult,” Tony Wendis said slowly. “For example, the first thing is for you to follow my wife, take pictures of her and her lover, and then find an opportunity to steal her purse. This thousand dollars is your reward for this first step. As for what happens next, I will let you know after you have done all of this.”

“I understand!” Joe nodded.

..................................................................

Josie and Margot were unaware of Tony Wendis's scheme.

For Josie, Margot's husband is still just a name; she has never actually met him.

As for Margot, a relatively naive rich young woman, she never imagined that her husband would be so heartless as to want to kill her just because she had a fight and mentioned divorce.

The next day, Margot, who didn't want to see Tony Wendice, went out early to find Josie, not even wanting to exchange a glance.

When she arrived at Josie's house, Josie was chatting with Tommy, a middle-aged neighbor, in the yard, across the fence.

“Why are you here so early today? Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Thomas Tommy Angelo, my neighbor. He’s a very friendly old man, and we get along quite well.” Josie greeted Margot and introduced her neighbor.

"Hello, Mr. Angelo, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Margot." Margot was very polite to Josie, greeting her in a very ladylike manner, but for some reason, she didn't mention her surname.

Perhaps she thought in her heart that she probably wouldn't wear the Wendice name for much longer.

"Hello, beautiful lady, you can just call me Tommy. Well, I won't bother you young people any longer, and besides, I haven't finished watering my flowers yet." Tommy greeted Margot with a smile, then shook the watering can in his hand, making an excuse to end his call with Josie.

Judging from Margot's expression, she clearly had a lot to say to Josie, and the old man naturally wouldn't make a fool of himself here.

"What's wrong? You look terrible and a bit haggard," Josie said to Margot after Tommy left. Not only Tommy, but he also noticed that something was off about Margot.

"Huh? Is it that obvious?" Upon hearing Josie's words, Margot unconsciously touched her face. She hadn't slept well last night because of a fight with Tony Wendis.

"Of course, come inside. It's still quite cold outside. By the way, have you had breakfast?" Josie asked casually.

"Uh, not yet." Margot shook her head. The maids in the house actually prepared breakfast very early every day, but because she didn't want to see her husband, she simply ignored it.

“I happen to have some steamed buns left from this morning. I’ll go prepare them for you. We can talk after you eat!” Josie said immediately when she heard that Margot hadn’t eaten breakfast.

The two then went inside.

The steamed buns were made by Josie this morning. She bought the flour early in the morning from the farmers market, and the filling was made of fresh onions and beef. They tasted pretty good.

After finishing, he even gave some to Tommy's wife, Salad, who was also making breakfast at the same time.

That's why he had chatted with Tommy before.

After transmigrating to this era, Josie rarely slept in, and when she did, it usually didn't go past 8 a.m.

The main reason is that family entertainment was relatively scarce in that era.

No cell phones, no computers, no internet, no console games.

Television did exist, but in this early era of television, there were very few TV programs. The three major American broadcasting companies were still primarily engaged in broadcasting. ABC, in particular, had not even been formally established yet; it was still just a part of NBC, the so-called Blue Broadcasting Network.

Moreover, the rough and unpolished programming of this era made it difficult for Josie to adapt.

All things considered, the only way for Josie to recover was to go to bed early and get up early.

Of course, there are still various entertainment venues such as chicken farms in the city at night, so the nightlife is not monotonous.

It's just that Josh's finances weren't quite up to par before, so he never had the chance to experience this decadent and corrupt capitalist society.

Today, perhaps because I've moved to a new home, I woke up before six o'clock, while it was still dark. So I drove to the farmers' market to see what good things there were. Yesterday, when I went, it was already afternoon, so there weren't many stalls left. I asked around and learned that the farmers' market usually opens at six in the morning.

To this, Josh can only say that the working people of every country are actually quite hardworking.

I heated the steamed buns up a little and then heated up a cup of milk.

Margot was indeed very hungry, and she ate three large meat buns and still felt a little unsatisfied.

"Tell me, what exactly happened?" Josie asked after seeing that Margot had finished eating.

“My husband is back,” Margot said. “I want a divorce.”

Meanwhile, after Josie and Margot entered the house, Tommy, who was watering the flowers, seemed to sense something.

Looking around, I noticed a black car parked across the street, and the person inside seemed to be looking towards the side of the road.

Tommy frowned upon seeing this.

Chapter 21 Tracking

"I want a divorce!"

To be honest, Josie scratched her head when she heard what Margot said.

If you want a divorce, just do it. Why are you telling me? We've only known each other for a few days, sister.

Of course, although Josie never got married in his previous life, it doesn't mean he's oblivious to this. If he were to voice his thoughts directly, the goodwill he had gained from Margot would, while not completely wiped out, would likely be significantly diminished.

"Judging from what you've said, he doesn't really love you. He probably only married you for your huge fortune. It's better to get a divorce sooner rather than later. You're still young and have a bright future ahead of you. There's no need to ruin your future for someone like that," she said, comforting Margot after she had poured out her grievances.

He was absolutely sincere when he said that.

As long as Margot isn't lying, it's quite obvious what kind of person Tony Wendis really is.

Using his status as a sports star, he completely captivated Margot, who was just a young girl at the time. While Margot's father was still alive, he behaved impeccably at home, acting as a model husband.

However, after Margot's father passed away and it became clear that Margot was easy to control, the situation changed.

They travel all over the world under the guise of competition.

Of course, the competition was real, but in between the games, they indulged in endless revelry, and their so-called competition results became increasingly appalling, comparable to a certain football team.

But he didn't care, since Margot was rich anyway.

Why would Margot keep someone like that around?

Moreover, although Margot has been married to him for seven years, she is actually only 26 years old... When that guy made his move on Margot, she was only 18 years old and 19 years old when she got married.

With Josie's comforting words, Margot's mood quickly improved compared to when she arrived, and her resolve to divorce became even stronger.

However, as noon approached, she prepared to say goodbye to Josh.

"Not staying for lunch?" Josie asked, somewhat surprised.

“No, I have an appointment with Uncle John at noon to talk to him about your gold. Also, I need his help with my divorce,” Margot explained.

Upon hearing this, Josie understood and immediately offered to take her there.

However, Margot politely declined, saying she could handle these things herself, so she only had Josie see her to the door.

After watching Margot drive away, Josie returned to the house and then prepared to go out herself.

These past two days, due to moving and a date with Margot, I haven't been able to do much during the day, so I can only chat with Daenerys during trading hours in the evening.

This is not okay.

It's time to stock up on supplies, and we also need to prepare the books that Daenerys wanted.

However, just as he was about to leave, Tommy from next door called him back.

"Is something wrong, Tommy?" Josie asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Yes, I just wanted to ask if Ms. Margot has offended anyone recently?" Tommy composed himself before asking.

"Why do you ask that?" Josie was completely baffled.

“When Ms. Margot came earlier, I noticed a black car parked across the street, seemingly watching your area. But at that time, I wasn’t entirely sure. However, when Ms. Margot left just now, that car also left, so I’m now certain that the car was heading towards Ms. Margot.” Tommy quickly told Josie the details and mentioned the car’s license plate number.

What? Margot is being targeted? Josie was stunned when she heard Tommy's words.

Anxiety followed immediately.

Although they hadn't known each other for long, and Josie was somewhat using Margot, he could still sense her goodwill and the help she provided.

He is not a heartless or ungrateful person.

It's impossible to ignore the possibility of Margot being in danger.

He immediately thanked Tommy, then drove off in the direction Margot had gone.

Since some time had passed since Margot left, catching up with her would normally be impossible.

There were no cell phones or pagers in this era, so he had no way to contact Margot for the time being.

Fortunately, when he talked to Margot about his Uncle John, he learned the name and address of the jewelry company.

Once you get there, you should be able to run into Margot, or ask about John and Margot's whereabouts.
