2022-05-11 20:00:56Lily came home to Deborah's sullen face. Deborah scolded her, "Didn't I tell you that you were grounded? You've turned a deaf ear to it?"
"Mom, I have something important to tell you." Lily led Deborah into her room and closed the door. Lowering her voice, she said, ”I Just found out that Irene is pregnant."
"Where did you hear that?'' Deborah was taken aback. Lily told her everything that Joanne had said, making Deborah anxious. Joanne came to befriend Lily to deal with Irene together. However, she needed to verify this piece of news.
She immediately called Marie. "Hey, I've heard that Irene is pregnant. Is that true?"
Marie, who was at work, turned stunned when she heard that. She said, “No way, Margaret has never brought this up."
"That's what Joanne told Lily. She said that it's to save Eden. I was still unconvinced, so here I am, asking you."
Deborah noticed Marie's ignorant state and calmed down. She thought that perhaps the news

Ever since he had memory, Eden had always longed for his father. It didn't occur to him that his father would have left him and his mother to get engaged to some other woman. In Eden's young mind, Edric was already dead to him. Edric was a big liar, and Eden hated him! "Don't scold your father like that. Eden, he had no choice back then." "What do you mean he had no choice?" Eden asked. "It means he had a reason to do so." Irene explained. "There's a reason for your father's engagement with that woman." "Wasn't it because he wanted to marry another woman?" The scene of Edric and Lily's engagement announcement was deeply embedded in Eden's mind. "No, he didn't want to get engaged to another woman. That was just for show." "But I saw it all. Mom, don't lie to me." "I'm not lying to you. That woman fell ill. So, he got engaged to her to take care of her.” Irene couldn't find a reason to absolve Edric of his own act

Steven said after thinking for a while, "Irene, I've asked Maisy to arrange a children's room for Eden. It's next to your room. You can move back in with Eden! It'll be easier for all of us to look after each other that way." Irene shook her head. It was only natural for Steven to be fond of Eden. However, Deborah and Lily were a different story. The mother and daughter duo were bad news. If they tried anything, the consequences would be unimaginable. "You know what, I believe that you have good intentions. If you want to see Eden, you can come by anytime. I'll pass on the offer to move back." "Are you worried about Lily? I've decided to send her to study abroad. We're making arrangements now and it'll be done soon..." Steven started filling her in with the details of Lily's move abroad. "After she leaves, she won't trouble you and Edric anymore." Irene hadn't expected Steven to do all this for her. She shook her head. "Lily and her mother are just one reason

Lily came back to her senses and immediately knelt down in front of Steven. "Dad, I beg you to let me keep my children! If I get rid of them, I will never be able to have a child again in my life!" "Lily, it's not that I don't want you to keep your babies. But rather these children... Sigh!" If it was another man's children, Steven definitely would have let her keep them. However, the unborn twins belonged to Edric. He had just gone to Irene to persuade her to get back together with Edric. Now that this had occurred, how could he face Irene? Deborah stretched out her hand to wipe her tears. "My child, this is your fate. Just accept it!" "Dad, it's so cruel for a woman to be infertile forever. Someone set me up to this. It's not my fault. You can't do this to me!” Lily was not pretending this time. If Steven really wanted her to get rid of her children, then her life would really be done for. Edric would not have anything to do with her and she would n

After persuading Margaret to go back to her room to sleep, Edric also went back to his own room. After taking a shower, John called him, "Mr. Myers, Steven had just taken Lily and Deborah to the hospital in Chalford City today." "They went to a hospital so far away?" Edric was confused. "Yes. I had asked people to follow him, but all I could find out was that Steven had just met up with his old classmate, Chris Cassady. Due to the fact that the meeting was held in private, we could not confirm what they were doing. However, this Chris Cassady is a well-known gynecologist in Chalford City," John answered. "Is that so?" Edric was stunned. At that time, why was Steven finding a gynecologist expert for Deborah and Lily? Did Steven know that Lily had colluded with Deborah to plot against him? No, he had to talk to Steven and tell him that he had nothing to do with Lily at all. After thinking for a while, John added, "I had asked someone to investigate Loraine and Tommy. We found that

Edric told Irene everything that happened without hiding anything. He didn't know what kind of judgment he would face. He did not expect Irene to forgive him. He only hoped that Irene would not stop him from seeing Eden. "Are you saying that she worked with Rowane to drug you and then took advantage of you and got pregnant that way?" Irene looked at Edric in surprise. She never thought that Edric would talk to her about this matter. She believed that Edric would try his best to hide this matter instead of coming clean. Edric nodded. "I can't completely remember what happened that night, so only Lily knows what really happened. I guess she must have done something to me when I was unconscious, and that's how she got pregnant." Thinking of Lily being so brazen to do such a thing to Edric, Irene felt uncomfortable. 'Edric has nothing to do with you anymore. It’s natural for him to be with another woman,' She told herself, then shook her head and

Finishing her sentence, Kinsey left, leaving only the sound of her high heels click-clacking. She got in the car and started the engine. In the rearview mirror, she saw Joanne remaining still in place and staring in her direction. Kinsey snorted inwardly. Everyone's sweetheart? She was nothing but a show-off. It was Irene who did not fight with others. It was also her bad luck to have bumped into Joanne. Kinsey started the car and drove away, humming. On the way, she pondered a while before calling Jordan, "Your fiancé was at the entrance of the TV station and she stopped me. She didn't want me to have any ulterior motives towards you." "Really?" Jordan laughed. Joanne had gone to look for Kinsey? With Kinsey's temper, Joanne must have been devastated. He was very interested in what Kinsey had done to Joanne, so he asked, "How did you deal with her?" "What are you talking about? I was so terrified of her, that I burst into tears on the spot. I'm immediately c

“Don't you hate me because of my mother? Irene, have some common sense. It was your good-for-nothing mother who could not hold onto her man. So why are you directing your hate towards me? As for Edric, there's no smoke without fire. If he was that innocent, do you think someone would be scheming against him? You're so ruthless over a man. One day, karma will get you," Lily knew what Irene's soft spots were and she was purposely provoking her. Irene was so angry that she couldn't help but slap Lily across her face. Lily covered her face and didn't fight back, but she stared fiercely at Irene's stomach. She couldn't make the first move against Irene right now. She had to provoke Irene first so that she could push Irene down in the name of self-defense. "Look at your son. He's got such a serious illness at such a young age. It's all because of you, his mother...” Before she could finish her words, a voice suddenly rang out, "B*tch, you've got some nerve. How dar

"What's this?" Irene did not take it. "This is the key to the bank's safe. There's some jewelry and gold bars inside. I'm handing them over to you today," Steven replied. "Why are you giving this to me?" Irene thought that Steven was just here to denounce her, but surprisingly he was gifting her assets. However, why was he giving the key to her right now? He had been here a few times before, so why not then? "Irene, I have something to ask of you," Steven didn't dare to look at Irene. "About Lily?" Irene sneered. She should have known Steven could not be so kind. "You know about Lily's condition. There's something wrong with her body. If she gets rid of the baby, she won't be able to have a child ever again, so I've come to you to ask you..." "Mr. Cook, don't you think you're looking for the wrong person?" Irene interrupted him. "Lily is pregnant with Edric's child. You should go look for Edric and Margaret instead." "E

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.

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?"
