2022-04-12 20:00:52They drove back to the White family. When they entered the mansion, they saw Britney and Joanne sitting in the living room. Irene instantly felt a little awkward. In fact, she did not expect Nathan to bring her to the White family directly.
"Hello, Madam Britney, Miss White,” Irene greeted them and glanced at Nathan rigidly.
Britney stood up and sized Irene up. With a faint smile, she said, "Eden, come here and let me have a look at you."
Just when Irene thought she would be nagged by Britney for meeting Nathan, Britney bent down and waved to Eden.
"Nice meeting you, Grandma!" Eden called as he ran over happily.
Joanne stood up and smiled, "Nathan, Grandma said that we have to wait for you all to come back and have dinner together. I’m famished!" Joanne giggled as she walked towards the dining table.
After the meal, Britney brought Irene to her room. She took out a glass box and Irene opened it slowly. There was a fine-quality emerald

Edric did not speak. It did not matter whose child Eden was. What mattered to him most was Irene. She had agreed to Nathan's marriage proposal after leaving him behind in San Fetillo! Edric was heartbroken. "Edric, Eden is your son!" Joanne said. "Nonsense!" Edric was stupefied. He had instructed John to investigate Eden's identity in the past. Joanne must be talking nonsense. "I'm not! Eden is indeed your son.” Joanne's voice was very clear. "I heard Grandma and Nathan said that with my own ears. It can't be wrong!" Edric almost dropped his phone. After a long pause, he finally asked, "How is it possible?” Joanne scoffed. She could imagine how surprised Edric must be right now. "Irene was already pregnant with your child when both of you underwent divorce. She hated you for being so cruel, hence, she didn't tell you that she's pregnant that moment. Eden was sick, that was why she came back to San Fetillo this time. Her purpose was to save him

“Edric, can you use that little brain of yours and think?" Irene asked. "What rights do you have to make such a decision?" "Because I am Eden's biological father!" Edric answered, nearly as loud as a bellow. "Father? How dare you say that? Don't you remember that you were the one who kicked me out of the house that year? From the moment you divorced me and left me, Eden and I have severed all our ties with you!" Irene retorted. "Irene, I've already explained what happened that year to you. It was never my intention to leave you!" Edric yelled. He clenched his fists, the veins on his forearms visible. For him, what happened those years left nothing but pain. He hadn’t felt a moment of ease since what happened then. "Yes, you have your own reasons and excuses, but so what? Does it mean that I should forgive you? Does the law pardon a murderer if he has a valid reason to commit that crime?" Irene questioned, no longer controlling her emotions.

Edric watched Nathan leave with rage in his eyes. He muttered with frustration, "Nathan White, If it wasn't for the fact that you've taken care of Irene and Eden, I would have beaten you up!” 'Mr. Myers, I am so flustered to hear that!" Irene sneered. Edric turned his head and saw Irene. His face blushed instantly and he faked an awkward chuckle, asking, "Irene, is Eden asleep?" "If not?" Irene glared at him and warned, "Edric, you can never change what's between Nathan and me I. You'd better don't expect things to turn out as you wish!" Edric's face turned ashen again. Irene ignored him and went straight into the kitchen. She had to make some light meals for Eden so he could have it when he woke up. Edric stood in the living room for a moment and then followed her into the kitchen. "Irene, do you need my help?" he asked. "No!" Irene refused. "Let me cut the meat. I have excellent knife skills," Edric said when he saw Irene was about t

When Nathan finished his business and was about to go home, the phone rang. It was the manager of one of his factories. He told Nathan on the phone, "There was an accident in the factory. Mr. White, please head there right away!" Astonished, Nathan immediately leapt to his feet and rushed to the factory. Along the way, his anxiety compelled him to keep urging his driver to speed up. When passing by a quiet road, the driver suddenly exclaimed. "Sir, look.” An emergency brake followed after the exclamation. Nathan fixed his eyes in the direction the driver was pointing and was shocked at what he saw. On the road, less than two meters away from their car a woman laying down on the street covered in blood. "Let's go down and have a look!" Nathan was first to open the door when he realized what had happened. "It seems that she's not breathing." The driver carefully turned over the injured woman's head and tried checking for any sign of breathing with his f

Hearing Joanne's name, Jordan was seething with fury. Unable to take in any of the sarcasm that Edric had thrown him. Jordan finally understood how Edric went to Mencodia. It turned out that Joanne had disclosed Eden's identity to Edric. Edric went to Mencodia not only to get Irene back, but also to meet Eden. Jordan knew very well that the reason for the divorce between Irene and Edric was that Irene couldn't give birth to the Myers family. Margaret had wanted a grandson so badly that she did not mind forcing Edric to divorce Irene. Now that Edric had realized that Eden was his son, he would definitely not allow Irene to marry Nathan. Certainly, he would make sure to have both Eden and Irene back. He might even go to great lengths to stop the marriage between Nathan and Irene. Even if Irene insisted on marrying Nathan, Edric would fight with Irene for Eden's custody too. With the influence of the Myers family in San Fetillo, Irene stood no chance against Edr

Right when Margaret called Edric, Edric was ringing her up as well. He was clearly aware of why Irene did not want him to meet Eden and why she was reluctant to remarry him. On one hand, it was because she misunderstood him and believed that there was still something going on between him and Lily. On other hand, it was because of Margaret's attitude towards her. For the former, he could prove to Irene with his actions that he would never have any connection with Lily anymore. As for Margaret, he supposed that her attitude towards Irene could be changed. The main reason why Margaret treated Irene badly in the past was that Irene could not bear children. Now that Irene had given birth to Eden for the Myers family-or in other words, she had brought them a successor-Margaret would probably stop giving Irene a hard time. With this thought in mind, Edric took out his phone and called Margaret. Unexpectedly, Margaret was also calling him at that moment. Henc

Margaret heard Irene's voice and immediately turned her head around. She chuckled evilly. "Well, well, look who it is..." Her gaze intensified as she looked over to Eden who was sleeping in Nathan's arms. Before Edric had mentioned it, she would never have imagined that Eden was related to her. But after listening to what Edric had said, she realized the child in front of her looked just like a young Edric. She couldn't help but walk over and reach out to stroke Eden's head. Nathan dodged to one side and looked at her warily. "Mrs. Myers, what were you trying to do?" "Is this boy my grandson?" Margaret felt a twinge of upset that she had not managed to touch Eden, but her sadness was soon washed away, replaced by excitement. "Mrs. Myers, you're mistaken. This is my son, not your grandson!" Irene walked up to them, her face taut. She might be patient with Edric, but Margaret... was the last person on earth that she wanted to see. "You...” Marga

Edric was speechless at Irene's words. It was true-Margaret was the kind of person who would do such a thing. He could not think of anything to refute her words. "Edric, we are finished. If you have even the tiniest bit of affection towards me, if you really want what's best for Eden, then I beg you to let me go. Nathan and I will get married soon. I am imploring you not to pester us anymore! Please!” Edric's eyes darkened when he heard that. In his mind, he thought, "Irene, are you so eager to marry Nathan? Don't you feel anything for me?” Seeing that he was silent, Irene didn't want to stay there any longer and walked right past him out the door. "You really aren’t going to give me a chance?" Edric asked pitifully. Tears began streaming down her face. Irene turned her head away to prevent Edric from seeing her cry. "Even if I give you a chance, so what? You have a mother who looks upon me so unkindly. We are destined to be unhappy if we live togethe

Lily and Joanne left delightfully the moment they saw the miscarriage. However, they did not expect to be faced with a swarm of police officers after they opened the door. Both Lily and Joanne were immediately subdued, and the masked pregnant woman was carried out. Joanne and Lily were shocked to find out that the pregnant woman they had beaten up was not Irene but a stranger. "What's going on?” Lily pointed at the stranger woman and asked Wayne angrily. "What are you talking about? Isn't she the woman that you had asked me to kidnap?" Wayne retorted. "Y-you! How dare you lie to me?" Even an idiot would know that Lily had been set up. However, she had found out too late. The police put Joanna and Lily under charges for kidnapping with murder intent. According to Article 239 of the Criminal Law, anyone found kidnapping another person or holding them as hostage for the purpose of extorting property would be sentenced to more than ten years imprisonment

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

Marie, who was seriously injured, was immediately sent to the hospital for rescue while Loraine and Jackson were taken to the police station. Irene soon learned what had happened. Deborah and Logan had been burned to death while Marie had been stabbed and hospitalized. What awaited Marie was a lifetime of imprisonment. The murderers who had killed her mother had all met their doom, but Irene’s heart was not happy at all. If she could, she would rather not seek revenge, as she only wanted her mother to be alive. After being treated by a doctor in the hospital, Marie's condition stabilized. After a few days of recovery in the hospital, she finally gained consciousness. Soon, Marie had Lily on her mind the whole time and she wanted to know how Lily was. Although Marie was missing Lily, Lily did not return the same feelings. Deborah and Logan's death gave Lily a headache. After their death, Lily had nothing else left. Lily felt annoyed when faced with the

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?"
