2022-04-02 20:00:06Lily's blushing face instantly turned as pale as snow. Edric sneered and stated, "Tomorrow, I will go to the Cook family and tell Mr. Cook and Mrs. Cook about our affairs in person."
John held on to Edric and they headed out to the car outside. John quickly started the car while Edric undid the button on his collar and ordered John to turn on the air conditioning. But it didn't lessen the heat in his chest.
When he came back to celebrate Margaret's birthday, he hadn't intended to stay overnight. Before he came, he told John that he must come pick him up at night. It wasn’t because he was afraid Margaret would play tricks on him, but rather he was worried about leaving Irene at home alone.
He hadn't expected Margaret would have such a plan. At the dinner earlier, she made him drink even though she knew he had gastritis. It was clear she was up to something.
But he was not worried. He knew John would be coming to get him. Hence, he played along with Mar

At daybreak, Edric opened his eyes after a deep sleep. Looking at Irene who was still sleeping beside him, he anxiously hugged her and planted a kiss on her forehead. "Irene, I'm sorry!" The previous night, he knew how crazy he had been, but he couldn't control it. In the car, he was still trying his best to keep it together with sheer will power. But the moment he returned home and saw Irene, he lost all his control. He had to have her right there and then. He fiercely made love to her once on the couch. That managed to somewhat calm down the heat inside him a little. He held Irene in his arms and asked for forgiveness. Regardless of her punches and kicks, he took her back to the bedroom. He wanted to give her a bath, but within minutes, his desire started burning inside him again. Hence, he ended up making love to her again. He heard Irene begging for mercy, but he could not stop himself. Irene's body was full of marks from the day before. Edric reached out

Before this, Steven was all smiles. But seeing how his face changed immediately, Edric was positively amazed by him. He had to give it to Steven, to be as skilled at being this two-face, for it must've taken years of practice. But wasn't Steven the one who told him to seduce Lily? Why was he turning around and blaming it on Edric now? Finally, Edric understood why Irene despised Steven so much. He said lightly, "About Lily, please accept my apologies. It was my mom's doing. If she didn't want a grandchild so badly, none of these would have happened." "Yes, if your mom hadn't treated Irene like that back then, then everything would not have happened. It's all your mother's fault," Steven echoed. As that, Edric chuckled faintly. "It's true that it wasn't right for her to be selfish and snobbish, but it wasn't right for you and Mrs. Cook to set me and Lily up either. If we're going to bring up the past, clearly you and Mrs. Cook had a part in it too."

Clearly, Irene meant to point out the fact that Rowane was just one of Edric's 'customers’. Upon hearing this, Rowane's face suddenly turned red. "Irene, don't you dare cross the line!" "I'm crossing the line? I don't think so!" Irene spread her hands up, feigning an innocent look. "I'll have you know that our relationship is purely friendship. You won't be able to point any fingers at us!” barked Rowane. "Whether you two are truly friends or not has nothing to do with me. I'm not interested. If you don't wish to embarrass yourself, then don't use Edric as an excuse to look for me. I hate busybodies. As far as I know, you're nobody to Edric, so please don't get yourself involved in others' businesses.” "Do... Do you think I want to see that face of yours for nothing? If you hadn't hurt Edric so much, I wouldn't even dream of doing this,” Rowane spat back at Irene. "Hurt Edric?” Irene was amused when she heard these words. It was obvious that R

Thomas was insecure these days. After thinking about it for a long time, he felt that he had done a very wrong thing. He should not have compromised with Marie just for a moment of peace. He knew very well what kind of person Marie was. She would never stop meeting him like what she told him.

Although Edric was surprised at Rowane's resignation to study abroad, he did not stop her. He readily agreed to Rowane's resignation and ordered the finance department to pay her more than a few months' salaries. When he returned to the Chandelle Valley in the evening, Irene was on a phone call with Eden. Eden said that he missed her and asked her when she would visit him. Irene answered him that she would visit him in a few days' time. Seeing Edric come back, Irene hung up the phone hurriedly. Edric went forward and pulled her to sit on the sofa, saying, "Irene, Mr. Cook has met me today." "Why did he want to meet you?" Irene asked. Her intuition told her that there was nothing good going on that Steven went to meet Edric. "Mr. Cook gave me this," Edric answered as he opened the paintings that Steven had just given him and showed them to Irene. Irene opened the painting, took a glance at it, and then put it down. She didn't know much about pa

In the study, Britney and Nathan were talking about Irene, "Irene has been gone for a long time. Is there any news about her?” Nathan chuckled and answered, "Grandma, why do you care about Irene suddenly? I'm really not used to it.” "I'm just being honest. Previously, I treated her so badly, but Irene actually took the initiative to save me without even a hint of hesitation. It's hard to find such a person in this era. It was all my fault back then." Britney said emotionally, "If it weren't for me, you two wouldn't have become like this. Irene wouldn't have been in such misery!" "Grandma, don't blame yourself. Irene and I have never blamed you. We all understand that you have your standpoint," Nathan comforted her. "Haven't you been busy with the company's affairs recently? Free some time to meet Irene!” Britney added, "Don't worry about Eden. Leave him to me. I promise I will take good care of him." "We'll talk about it again," Nathan

Jordan followed Irene's gaze to look over and saw Edric and Rowane too. A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Edric was trying to own more than one woman, wasn't he? He wanted to get back with Irene while he was still enamored of his little lover! However, Edric must have not expected that they would bump into each other this evening. What a coincidence! Jordan took a glance at Irene and found that Irene's countenance fell in an instant. She put down the fork and spoon in her hand and said, "I'm full!" "I'm full too. Let's go!" Jordan left with Irene thoughtfully. Along the way, Irene kept a gloomy face. Although she was silent, Jordan knew that she had already made up her mind about Edric. Jordan estimated that it would be curtains for Edric this time. Rowane said that she would leave the day after the next day. Hence, she invited Edric out for dinner to express her gratitude for his care over the years. The most crucial reason for Edric to accept Ro

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?

"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.

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.

“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?"
