2021-09-26 22:43:07Margaret knew that Edric wasn't joking. In the past three years after Irene left, her son had been living with her. No other woman appeared beside him except Lily. The reason Lily was able to appear beside him was pressure from her.
In the past three years, the relationship between her son and Lily had never improved. This was the first time her son had officially told her what his true thoughts were. Margaret let out a dejected sigh. "What sort of sins have committed?" When Irene didn't come to work for a whole day, Jordan felt distressed, as if a cat was gnawing at his heart. That woman really went too far. She didn't go to work without even asking for a leave of absence. What on earth did she want to do? She must be having fun with her lover.
Upon thinking of this, Jordan was extremely angry. He originally wanted to call Irene directly, but upon thinking of this, he asked David to call Irene to tell her not to come anymore if she didn't come to work. As a result,

"Steven? You... you... were at home?" The sudden appearance of Steven shocked Deborah. Wasn't Steven supposed to be at the government office during this time? Why was he at home?" Lily was also dumbfounded when she saw Steven. "Dad, why are you back?" “Who did you just say cheated you out of hundreds of thousands of dollars?" Steven came over and stared at Deborah. He went to see Irene today, and then he found out that she was almost raped by people. Steven was so angry that his heart ached. To think about it, she was really lucky. If Edric hadn't realized that something was wrong, he didn't know what would have happened. Irene was a fiery-tempered person. If she were really raped by other people, she would certainly lose the will to live. Steven was distressed, angry, and sorrowful. It was all because of him. If he hadn't married Deborah, Irene wouldn't have run away from home or be kicked out of the Myers Family. Steven felt extremely remorseful and

Staring at the car in front of him, Edric also stopped the car behind her. Before the door was opened, he saw her helping Jordan unbuckle his seat belt. In the past, it was he who helped her unbuckle her seat belt, but now, she was doing it for another man. It seemed that she liked Jordan very much, and Jordan certainly liked her, too. Otherwise, knowing that she was divorced, he wouldn't have flirted with her. Edric felt a little jealous when he thought about how there was no womanizing scandal about Jordan during this period of time. That woman's charm really wasn't ordinary. She had made him fall head over heels in love with her back then, and now, she made a playboy changed his ways. But why didn't they get out of the car? What happened next was even more unacceptable to Edric. He saw clearly that when Irene unbuckled Jordan's seat belt, Jordan suddenly hugged Irene. The two of them began to kiss. They were so anxious that they started kissing in

Jordan touched his burning face, but there wasn't a trace of anger on his face. Getting a slap in exchange for a kiss was worth it! Thinking about Irene and Jordan kissing in the car, Edric drove aimlessly. He felt burning rage in his chest. This couldn't go on! He must stop Irene and Jordan from being together. Jordan was a notorious playboy. Womanizing was his only weakness. Edric thought about it for a while and finally came up with a solution. He called John and said, "Let Lili immediately fly to San Fetillo to shoot an advertisement!" Irene slapped him so hard that the red mark on Jordan's face didn't fade completely after a night. When he saw Irene coming in, he deliberately showed his face to Irene. Refusing to see him, Irene lowered her head and looked down. There was nothing Jordan could do if she didn't look at him. David happened to come in and send the documents. When he saw Jordan, he asked with concern, "Mr. Reed, what's the matter with

Irene didn't return to the restaurant but left directly. She called Jordan in the taxi and said that she had something to attend to at home. Jordan gritted his teeth and said, "Irene, your bonus for this month will be cut in half!" Lilith was pleased to hear that. That Executive Assistant was really sensible. Without a third-wheel around, she felt refreshed. She leaned closer to Jordan and asked, "Dear, where will we go later?” Jordan smiled gently and said, "I'll send you back to the hotel first.” That meant that he still had something to do. Lilith was a little disappointed. Did she really go too far playing hard to get? The last time, she left after staying for a day. She thought Jordan would make countless phone calls and greetings every day like before, but the result disappointed her greatly. Jordan didn't make any phone calls. She realized that things weren't good, so she took the initiative to call him. It was at night, but he

"Why?" Jordan glared at Nathan, "Don't think that I don't know about your ulterior motives. Let's compete fairly now.“Jordan, you're not qualified to compete fairly with me." Nathan didn't take him seriously at all. "Would the Reed Family agree to let you, the young master, marry a divorced woman?"“Would the White Family agree to let you marry a divorced woman?" Jordan retorted derisively. Nathan's facial expression changed. "This matter has nothing to do with you. I will handle it myself”"Nathan, I'm different from you. You are the young master who bears the hope of the Tang family. If you insist on having your way, those old guys in the Tang family would be infuriated by you. But I'm different. I'm just the most useless person in the Reed Family, and no one will keep an eye on me".“I can fight them till the end." Nathan's eyes darkened.“But Irene won't waste time with you.” Jordan snickered frivolously. "Y

The person in the photo looked exactly the same as Irene. Edric suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes. He studied it carefully and realized that he was right. It was Irene. She dressed plainly and looked eighteen or nineteen years old in the photo. How did Irene's photo end up in Steven's book? Edric also noticed two words -- "my love" -- written on the back of the photo when he was about to put it back in the book. 'My love? How was Irene Steven's lover?' 'How could it be? How could Irene be Steven's lover? Steven was old enough to be Irene's father.' Suddenly, Edric remembered how Steven pulled Irene's hand outside of the teahouse. Did Steven fall in love with Irene? Was that why Steven handed Irene the project? This could also explain why Steven wanted to compensate him with the sports event. He was feeling guilty. While Edric was pondering, Steven had finished his call and turned around to continue to talk to Edric about t

Jordan and Irene turned around. Wearing a navy suit without a tie, Edric was standing at the entrance with his arms crossed. Edric had been holding grudges against Jordan.He was already gnashing his teeth when he thought about how Jordan used Irene to seduce Steven to win the construction bid. He asked John to keep an eye on the Reed Family. When he heard that Jordan book the restaurant, prepared flowers and balloons, and took Irene there, he knew what this womanizer was trying to do.Irene was his woman. How could he let others covet her? Edric drove here immediately. Jordan was more than annoyed. He booked the entire restaurant which should be closed for business. How did Edric suddenly appear?"I'm sorry, Mr. Reed!" Edric ignored Jordan's expression, strode over, and sat down next to Irene. "I'm particularly fond of this restaurant and came here for dinner. I was surprised that it was not open, but I still came in since I heard its you who reserved it. We ar

Edric was upset when he learned that Nathan was back. He couldn't focus on work all day. "She must be with Nathan at this moment, right?" "What are they doing now? Watching a movie, eating, or having sex like any ordinary couple?" He couldn't stand those thoughts and grabbed his coat and rushed out of the company. He drove aimlessly and somehow got to Irene's old neighborhood. There was a car accident ahead, and the road was jammed. Edric sat in the car, waiting for the road to be cleared, irritated and impatient. "I wouldn't take you here if I knew this. So many cars and people..." Edric heard a familiar voice. He looked over and saw Irene. She was not alone. Nathan, all dashing and handsome, was standing beside her. Nathan was holding a child in his arms. Edric couldn't see the kid's face since he was facing him with his back. Irene kissed the boy on his cheek. He knew very well how much she wanted a child. His heart suddenly tightened and he stared

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.

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.

“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?"
