2022-02-04 20:00:45After Irene went out of the cafe, she received a call from Jordan. He asked, "Where are you?"
"I went to see Kinsey," she lied.
"Why didn't you call me and say that? I came all the way here for nothing," Jordan complained.
"Sorry, I left in a hurry, so I forgot," she apologized. Jordan decided to let it pass. "I'm going back to the company. See you later."
After hanging up, Irene got on the taxi. It was rush hour, so there were a lot of cars on the road. Needless to say, she was caught in a traffic jam. Fortunately, her boss was Jordan, so she wasn't afraid of being reprimanded for being late. Thinking of Jordan, a sweet smile appeared on her face.
A familiar voice rang out, "How long are we going to be stuck in this traffic?" Irene turned her head and looked over. It was Marie.
Marie used to be an attending doctor for her infertility. Hence, Irene had a lot of consultations and appointments with Marie. As she so often appeared in Mari

"Miss Nelson, now you know why I object to your relationship with Jordan. It is not because you are a single mother or a divorcee, but because you are the daughter of someone Jordan hates the most. Because of your mother, Jordan has lost his father since he was a child. If he knows that you are the daughter of the woman who snatches his father away, what will he think?” Pedro's voice was like a strained foghorn, slow but powerful; every word of his was devastating. "Think it over. If you can be with Jordan without feeling guilty, I won't object to your relationship. But you can't hide the truth. Otherwise, when Jordan learns it..." Irene tried her best to keep herself calm, but tears still welled up her eyes. It was such a huge blow to her. She didn't want to cry in front of outsiders, hence she stood up and bid goodbye to Pedro. Looking at her straightened bac

Before the breakup, Irene did not feel anything unusual with Jordan accompanying her every day. But now, without Jordan's company, she found that her life had become so dreary. Everytime after dinner, she sat in the living room and checked her phone several times. Although she knew that there would be no phone calls or messages, she still looked forward to one. Thomas was playing games with Eden before he noticed Irene's actions. He sighed and said, "Irene, it's still early. Shall we take Eden somewhere nearby?" "Sure!" Irene got up and went downstairs with Eden and Thomas. The three of them took a stroll around the park. There was a night market not far from the residential area. It was always lively there in the evening. Eden saw the crowd and pointed in the direction of the market with his chubby little finger. "Mommy, can we go over there?" "Sure!" Irene nodded. Soon, the three of them arrived at the market. It was packed,

"What do you want to drink?' Edric asked her gently. "Blue Mountain or cappuccino?" Lily only liked to drink caffe mocha. Every time she met Edric, she would order it. Yet, Edric was still unaware of her preferred drinks. Glumly, she said, "Mocha." Edric ordered the coffee for her, and he ordered a cup of Blue Mountain for himself. Seeing that he had the same taste as Irene, Lily was irked; but instead, she put on a concern mask. "Edric, you seem to have lost a lot of weight." "Really?" Edric smiled faintly. When the waiter brought the coffee, Lily picked up the cup and took a sip. Edric remained silent, watching her motionlessly. After Lily put down the cup, he said, "Lily, I'm sorry. I can’t get engaged to you." Lily knew he wouldn't deliver good news, but it never crossed her mind that Edric would cancel the engagement just like that. One of the reasons Lily blamed Irene for her miscarriage was that she wanted to make Edric feel guilty for

Margaret had a huge shock when she heard that Edric risked being hit by a car to save Irene. He had already gotten hurt because of her the time before. Margaret increasingly felt that Irene would only bring bad luck. If this went on, Irene would be the death of Edric. She had to get Irene out of San Fetillo as soon as possible! Marie said that Irene's house had been burned down and she had nowhere to stay. Furthermore, she had also lost her job. It seemed like it was the right time to add fuel to the fire. Margaret would use this to negotiate with Irene and persuade her to leave San Fetillo. Margaret felt like now was her window of opportunity. She gave Irene a phone call. "Mrs. Myers? What is it?" Irene spoke in an aloof tone; hearing Margaret's voice made her uneasy. "Well, I just saw the news and found out what happened to your home. I sympathize with you," Margaret said. Pigs were probably about to fly at Margaret's call of concern. She should be

After hanging up the phone, Lily looked at Deborah and said, "Mom, Edric sounded weird; it seems like something's wrong!" "Don't worry. Tell him the truth. Steven will be responsible for anything that happens," Deborah said dismissively. "But I'm still worried," Lily replied in doubt. "Don't be scared. I'll take care of everything for you." Deborah had a sinister smile. "That little b*tch wants to have Edric? In her dreams! Edric is yours. I won't just turn her and Edric into strangers; I'll make sure they become enemies!" Hearing Deborah's words, Lily felt relieved and headed out to meet Edric. Edric's expression looked incredibly livid. "I have something to ask you!" "What's the matter?" Lily spoke in a meek voice, attempting to elicit sympathy in Edric. She and Deborah had already thought of all the possible situations and came

Edric rushed into the house and was met with chaos. He first separated Kinsey and Loraine who were now actively fighting each other. Then he saw Irene pressing Margaret down on the sofa with her hands tightly gripped around Margaret's neck. Margaret was getting choked and her eyes were rolling upwards. Aghast, Edric stepped forward to pull Irene away. Margaret was struggling for air with Irene's hands grappling around her neck. For a second, she thought she was going to die. When she could finally breathe, she gasped as she took in mouthfuls of air. "Mom, are you okay?" Edric immediately went to her to help her catch her breath. Margaret was still puffing and panting as she looked at him. Here came her savior! "Edric, you came right on time. Look at this little b*tch! She came to my house to attack me! She wants to kill me!" Margaret sniveled. Seeing Margaret's disheveled hair and the red mark around her neck, Edric was furious. He turned his

Margaret had never thought that Irene would come to her house and make such a huge fuss. However, the truth was that Margaret wasn't the one who kidnapped Irene's child. Nonetheless, when Irene barged into the house and started questioning her, she suddenly had an idea. At that time, Irene was furious and was convinced that Margaret was the one who kidnapped Eden. All Margaret needed to do was provoke Irene so she would do something irrational and unacceptable. Then Margaret would be able to force Edric to make a choice and get rid of Irene once and for all. That was why Margaret didn’t even care to run away, instead, she even hit Irene. Due to that, Irene almost strangled Margaret to death in a fit of anger. Since they had such a huge fight, needless to say, Margaret would definitely not give in. However, all Edric did was to demand Irene to apologize. His protective action towards Irene infuriated Margaret.Therefore, Margaret once again grabbed hold o

Edric's face darkened when Irene walked away without turning back. Lily said tearfully, "Edric, go and get Irene. Talk to her. I'm fine." "Why should I? We didn't do anything wrong!" Edric helped Lily up. "I'll take you to the hospital to treat the wound." While the doctor was treating Lily in the operation room, Edric stood alone outside, feeling irked. How could Irene be so cruel? How could she be so heartless? A surprised voice rang out from behind all of a sudden, "Edric? Why are you here?" Edric turned around and saw that it was Marie. Edric then nodded politely and greeted her, "Madam Walker, nice meeting you!" "Edric, I have something to check with you." Marie pulled Edric aside. "I heard from your mother that you broke up with Lily. Is it true?" Edric nodded. "It's true." "That's good! That's good! Then, I wouldn't have to be worried anymore." Marie looked relieved. "What's the matter, Madam Walker?" Marie and Lily's re

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.

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?"
