The robbers took Irene to a house. After locking the doors, they began planning on how to demand the ransom. One of the kidnappers decided to make a call to the White family. Britney was rather straightforward, she told them that someone was preparing the ransom, so they would need to wait for a while.

The kidnappers did not believe her and warned her not to try to rescue the hostage through the police. They threatened Britney, saying that if she even tried anything funny, they would kill Irene right there and then. Britney promised not to call the police. The eyes of Joanne who had been by the side listening lit up at once.

After hanging up, several kidnappers sat together and began a discussion. One of them brought up the fact that the White family was pretty well known. Wasn't 100 million in cash too little? The leader of the gang felt a little regretful for not asking for more.

It was common for kidnappers to go back on their word. Irene's heart sank when

    Britney went to the hospital the next day to visit Irene. Irene's ankle had started to recover after treatment. Nathan was there too, holding Eden. The three of them were playing games happily, and the ward was filled with laughter. Looking at their happy faces, Britney stood at the door and looked at them as she was overwhelmed with mixed emotions. If she hadn't stopped Irene and Nathan in the past, they would have gotten together, and their children would have already been attending kindergarten at least! The three of them stopped playing when they saw Britney. "Grandma, you're here!" Nathan greeted her. Britney walked in and smiled at Irene, asking, “How do you feel?" "I feel much better after getting treatment. I don't think there's any need for me to stay in the hospital anymore," Irene replied. "That won’t do. You'd better listen to the doctor's instructions and stay in the hospital for a few more days for observation," Nathan interrupte

    Irene turned around and saw Malcom staring at her. After a while, Malcom came to his senses and asked, "Are... are you Myra's daughter?" Irene nodded, she looked at Malcom in an unfriendly manner and hissed, "Who are you, sir? What are you doing here?" "I'm a friend of Myra's-" Irene interjected, "Friend? Sir, are you crazy? My mother was a woman with a family. How could a man and a married woman possibly be friends?" Irene did not plan to be polite with Malcom at all. No matter what kind of feelings they had at the beginning, as long as they were married, they should be responsible for their families. Irene’s impression was that Myra and Steven were perfectly harmonious. However, Malcom abandoned Lydia and Jordan in the name of love. What he did not only ruined Lydia, but also ruined the reputation of Myra. Irene didn't like him at all. "I... Your mother and I were from the same school." Malcom was a little embarrassed. He did

    After Edric drove Monica out, she called Irene, "The person drove me out." Irene had expected that Edric would kick Monica out. That night, she was merely using this method to disgust him. Hearing Monica's words, Irene smiled at the thought of Edric being furious. Edric had mysophobia, so he would have a hard time sleeping that night, right? Irene was gloating in her heart when Maisy came to knock on the door. "Irene, someone called just now and said that something had happened to your uncle. He asked you to go and have a look quickly!" When Irene heard that, she picked up her purse and ran out immediately. When Irene was about to hail a taxi by the road, a car suddenly rushed out and stopped in front of her. Seeing Edric, Irene instantly realized that she was fooled. Under Edric's gaze, she got on the car. Edric stared at her sinisterly for a few minutes before hissing, "Irene, how dare you?!" "Why did you say that, Mr. Myers?" Irene looked a

    Marie invited Margaret out for dinner that night. During the dinner, Marie asked about Edric and Lily, "When will Edric and Lily get married?” "Don't mention it!” Margaret sighed. "I'm afraid there will be some changes in this matter." "Changes?" Marie's heart sank. "You adore Lily the most, don't you?" Margaret put down the fork and told Marie about what happened to Irene. She concluded, "Since Irene knows that she is Steven's daughter, why doesn't she admit her identity? Yet after seeing Lily and Edric got engaged, she came back and even moved into the Cook family. What do you think she's up to?" "What else can it be? Of course, she wants to make Edric and Lily feel pent up!" Marie answered. "The person who feels pent up now it's me!" Margaret whined. Since she took Marie as a friend, she didn't hide anything from Marie. "I used to like Lily, but now I really feel uncomfortable when I see her. You know that I hate paramours the most, but I'v

    Irene's ovulation period was coming soon. She had never looked forward to Edric's phone call as much as she was now, but things went contrary to her wishes as he seemed to disappear all of a sudden and never called her again. Instead of Edric's, she received a strange phone call. It turned out that a company was impressed with her resume and requested her to attend an interview. The company that Irene applied to was called the Cloudboat Company. It was quite famous in San Fetillo. Irene didn't have much hope when she applied for the job, but to her surprise, she was accepted. Irene was delighted when she got this job. She called Kinsey and told her about the good news. After listening to her, Kinsey was happy for her too and offered to treat Irene to dinner for celebration. However, Irene refused Kinsey as she was the one who was supposed to treat Kinsey since this was a joyful event for herself. When Kinsey knocked off work at night, Irene went to the restau

    Wilson had broken out into a cold sweat. "Mr. Myers, Miss Nelson is talking nonsense as she's drunk. Please don't take it to heart," Wilson apologized to Edric on Irene's behalf. "She's drunk, right? Since she's drunk, I'll take her to go sober up,” Edric said as he put down the glass in his hand and rose from his seat. Before Irene could react, he grabbed her hand and marched out of the private room under the shocked gazes of the people around them. "D*mn woman, how dare she say that I can't last long? It seems that I must teach her a lesson," Edric thought. Edric covered Irene's mouth and pulled her away from the room they were at. Due to the great disparity in their physical strengths, Irene could not break free of his grip. He eventually dragged her into the elevator. After entering the elevator, Edric let go of the hand covering her mouth. Irene stared at him and asked, "Edric, what on earth are you doing?" "Didn't you say that I

    Irene returned home directly after leaving the hotel. On her way home, she realized that she had made a mistake. How was she supposed to explain her relationship with Edric to Wilson? The next day, when she went to the company, her thoughts were all over the place. She was afraid that Wilson would ask about her relationship with Edric, but it turned out to be completely different from her expectations. Wilson's attitude towards her was the same as usual. He didn't seem to be interested in gossiping about her and Edric at all. Irene breathed a sigh of relief. She was secretly glad that she had met a good manager. What she didn't know, however, was that he wasn't uninterested. Rather, he was too afraid to ask. The previous night, after she was taken away by Edric, John had a few words with him. In a brutish manner, John had instructed Wilson to treat Irene well, and that if he ran into any problems, John would be happy to help. What luck! With John's help, Wils

    Finally, their intimate conversation came to an end. Their car stopped outside the entrance of the Mexican restaurant. "It's quite a small restaurant, but the food here is really authentic." Edric pushed the door open and got out of the car, as he said to her, "I have eaten here twice. It's really delicious." Irene followed Edric without saying a word. Edric was obviously a frequent guest here. When the owner of the restaurant saw Edric, he immediately came over and greeted Edric with open arms. Soon, they were taken to the VIP room. The waiter brought over two starters. It was nachos and salsa. Edric picked up a piece and dipped it in the salsa as he looked at Irene. "Try this. This place has the best salsa I've ever had." Irene looked at him holding the nacho up to her mouth and sneered in her heart. Best nachos? For someone as rich as Edric, eating nachos and salsa occasionally was considered a delicacy. But to her, they were just an ordinary dish.

    She had promised to stay with Nathan and forgive him. However, the reality presented a bigger problem than she thought. Rowane was her younger sister, and they had the same blood flowing in their veins after all. She was not able to accept a man who had an affair with her younger sister. However, it was not a matter of whether she could accept what had happened or not. It was Rowane who was indeed in love with Nathan. When she observed her affection towards Nathan and remembered the fact that she was pregnant, Irene wished to persuade Nathan to accept Rowane. Ever since she had said that sentence at the hospital that day, Nathan avoided spending time alone with Irene. He did not want Irene to tell him to take responsibility for Rowane. Meanwhile, Irene was in a difficult position as well. Nathan had wasted nine years of his youth with her, so how could she ask him to marry Rowane? She was hesitant, so Kinsey came to advise her as well, "Irene, give Ed

    "Hush now, it's all in the past!" Irene patted her shoulder and comforted her gently, “Perhaps she has gone mad to escape from her guilt!" "Yes. If there is only pain left in a person's life, it is better to just die. Since she didn't want to die, going mad is the best way for her to get rid of the pain," Edric chipped in to comfort her. Nathan watched Irene and Rowane hugging and crying together as he stood by the side. He felt a mix of emotions. Irene was someone who emphasized a lot on relationships and affection. It would be impossible for him to be with Irene. He heaved a heavy sigh and thought, "How ill-fated we are!” Rowane overheard Nathan's sigh and glanced at him with eyes full of tears, “Nathan, I won't pester you anymore. Don't worry, I won't let this child affect you." "What nonsense are you spouting?" Irene glared at Rowane. The estrangement between her and Rowane vanished completely after the hug. She spat, "Nathan isn't that ki

    Nathan rushed to the police station after receiving the call. When Rowane noticed Nathan's initial tender expression had turned hard, she felt incredibly guilty. She had never dreamed that the person she loved would be the same Nathan who had been Irene's guardian for the past nine years. Why was it that the person she liked always had something to do with Irene? First, it had been Edric. Now, it was Nathan. She was pregnant with Nathan's child now. As Nathan despised her, Rowane did not want Nathan to misunderstand her any further. The moment she saw Nathan, she told Nathan everything that had happened to her. Nathan had heard from Jordan that Rowane was a woman with an evil heart. So, he had begun to loathe her. Now, he knew that she had been deceived by Marie, and his hatred towards Rowane naturally dissipated. Hence, Nathan decided to bring Rowane back to Haverland. When Edric heard that Nathan was bringing Rowane back to Haverland, he went to look for Ir

    Lily could not dodge the cup in time as water splashed on her face. The water washed away the makeup she had put on to bluff Steven, revealing her true colors. Steven was infuriated to see Lily going to such extreme measures to con him. He pointed at Lily and bellowed, "Get out of here, you b*tch!" "Dad, have you gotten things mixed up? I'm Lily. I'm your daughter, Lily.” “Get lost! You're an illegitimate child!" Steven's hands trembled as he spoke. Edric let out a snicker as he stood by the side and said, "Miss Cook, look at this!" Lily took over the report and glanced at the content, "Whose report is this?" "It's yours and Mr. Cook's. Do you still think that Mr. Cook is your biological father?" "This is impossible!” Lily was taken aback. She had always thought that she was Steven's daughter. Never in a million years would she think that she actually was not related to Steven at all. "Why would it be impossible? Your m

    The hospital staff were horrified to see Marie's obscene videos. Marie's image in the hospital had initially been excellent, so it was shocking to see such videos of her. People generally liked gossip, so employees who were familiar with each other began to secretly gossip about Marie, "I didn't expect that the seemingly noble and cold Dr. Walker’s private life would be so licentious!" "You're right! Look at these positions, haha! Just one look and I know that she's an expert in that field. What do you mean she's noble and cold? She is such a sl*t!" Everyone in the hospital, including the patients, had all watched Marie's obscene videos and they were all discussing it. However, Marie was oblivious to it. When she went to work, she found that the nurses in the hospital were looking at her differently, but she did not give it much thought. Marie had cooked nutritious soup for Lily and she brought it into Lily's ward, "Lily, drink it while it's hot!” Mar

    “B*tch, tell me honestly, how did Rosa die?" Jackson questioned angrily. He too had received news about Rosa's death, and he was devastated. During that period of time, Jackson's heart was in a mess. He thought carefully and came to the conclusion that Rosa's death must had something to do with Loraine. He had believed that Tommy was Loraine's son before, but that was not the case anymore. Jackson thought that Loraine must have killed Rosa out of jealousy. Jackson had constantly been looking for Loraine, ready to take revenge. Pure hatred surged in Jackson's eyes upon seeing Loraine. He stretched out his arm and grabbed Loraine, "B*tch, you'll die today!” Loraine could not care less. She didn't have much desire to live either. Right then, taking revenge for her son was the only thing on her mind. Seeing that Jackson was going to take action on her, she said in a hurry, "I deserve to die, but I can’t let my son die in vain.

    “We'll talk about Irene later. We have to deal with Lily's problem right now. You've come at the right time. When Lily wakes up, you should try to talk to her. She's too emotionally unstable right now," Marie said. "I know, I came here with the thought of persuading her," Deborah nodded. Lily's temper was generally pretty bad, and she was the only one who could persuade her. Deborah reached out and touched Lily's face, which was pale due to major blood loss, "How long has she been asleep? Nothing bad will happen right?" “Nothing bad will happen. Lily woke up in the morning. Her emotions were all over the place, that I had no choice but to ask someone to give her a sedative. She will wake up soon," Marie explained. Deborah was relieved upon hearing that, but she soon remembered Lily's children. Although Simon had said that Lily's children were healthy, Deborah was still worried, "Marie, where are Lily's children? Is there any problem with them?"
