2022-02-14 20:00:26"Hello?" Edric's voice was tinged with sleepiness due to the difference in time zones.
"It's me!" Irene controlled herself so her emotions did not show in her tone. Edric sat up immediately after he heard Irene's voice. Right then, he returned to his usual indifference. "What's wrong?"
"Edric, can I... can I ask you for a favor?"
"What is it?" he asked.
"Can... can... can you not get engaged to Lily?" Licking her cracked lips, she finally muttered out a complete sentence.
"I'm afraid I can't!" Edric answered in a straight forward manner. He suspected that there was something amiss with his ears. If she had made such a request a few days ago, he would have been ecstatic and gave her a positive answer. However, right then, he felt that it was too ironic.
"Edric! If you don't get engaged to Lily, I... I will consider getting back together with you!" God knew how much courage it took for her to say that. Nonetheless, Edric sneered and parr

"Irene, you're back!" shouted Maisy. She was standing in a remote corner, watching the engagement ceremony in disdain when she noticed Irene. She ran towards Irene immediately. "Where have you been for all these years? Why haven't you come back to check on me?" Maisy's voice choked. Irene saw Maisy; and she, too, ran over excitedly. She stretched out her arms and hugged Maisy. When Irene was just a wisp of a girl, Maisy worked as a servant in the Cook family. She had always been very good to Irene. Deborah and Margaret also came over. When they saw Irene, Margaret's first thought was that Irene was here to stir up trouble. She stood in front of Irene with an aggressive front. "Why did you come?" Irene let go of Maisy and squinted at Margaret. "Excuse me, who are you in the Cook family?" "I..." Margaret's face turned red. The contempt on Irene's face agitated her. "Well, Lily’s my daughter-in-law, and this is her home!" "Oh? It's not yours, the

Margaret said that Edric would send them home, but it was John who drove them back instead. Lily and Deborah sat at the back while Edric was in the passenger seat. Although there were four of them in the car, the atmosphere was unusually depressing. Not one word was spoken on the way. John glanced at Edric in confusion. Why did he feel that Edric was in a bad mood? What happened? When they arrived at the Cook family, Edric did not get out of the car. Lily, too, did not cling to him as usual. Instead, she bid goodbye to him sensibly and left. As Edric's car vanished from their visions, Lily exhaled and asked, "Mom, do you think Margaret believed what you told her?" "Even if she doesn’t, I'll make her believe it!" Deborah huffed. She felt her face growing stiff from all the forced smiles she had to put on just for the sake of explaining things to Margaret earlier in the day. Thinking that all this happened because of Irene, she cursed in a low voice, "D

The next morning when Irene went downstairs, she saw Steven on the sofa in the living room with Deborah. Spotting Irene, Steven revealed an amiable smile and asked, "Irene, did you sleep well last night?" "It was good," Irene replied plainly. "Let's have breakfast!" As soon as Steven got up, Deborah followed suit too. With a smile plastered on her face, she explained, "Steven had Maisy make you your favorite breakfast. He's been waiting for you to have it together." "Thank you!" Irene forced herself to say the words. The truth was she did not feel grateful at their kind gestures at all. In fact, she hated seeing their hypocritical smiles. If it were not for Eden, she would not have the energy nor interest to interact with them. Because of Irene's return, Steven chose not to go to work. It was unprecedented, but he stayed at home to accompany Irene. Nevertheless, he was still busy entertaining numerous phone calls one after another. As Irene wa

Sure enough, their guess was not wrong. After Lily put down the phone, Freya asked her in a flattering manner, "Is it your mother-in-law? Lily nodded and the smile on her face died down. She could not afford to lose the bid for the upcoming sports meeting. If that happened, Margaret would give her a hard time. Therefore, she had to find a way to ensure her father Steven would not side with Irene. Although Irene was eating her food quietly, her heart was beating fast. She knew very clearly what Margaret and Lily's intentions were. If it weren't for her, Edric would definitely have won the auction previously without any difficulties. This time, Steven would certainly be bound to be biased to Edric. She, on the other hand, would never allow Edric and Margaret to get what they wanted. Eden was seriously ill and suffering in pain at such a young age. Therefore, ho

Deborah didn't stop Lily from calling Margaret. Once the call was answered, Lily told Margaret in detail what had happened that night, "Aunt Margaret, how can Irene be so mean? She said that as long as Dad helps Edric, she would report him to the authority. Even Dad has to listen to her now. She's stirring things up!'' Upon hearing that, Margaret fumed with rage. "D*mn Irene! She's getting back at Edric! How can she be so cruel?" In complaining about Irene, she did not realize how cruel she had been in the first place. "Yeah, Mom and I were pleading with her, but she never let up... She even cursed us with nasty words!" Margaret sighed. She was well aware of Irene's temper and eloquence. Back when Irene had confronted her, Margaret couldn't even get half a sentence in. It seemed that Steven couldn't be counted on from now onwards. Knowing that it wasn't Lily's fault, Margaret didn't harbor any ill feelings against her. Instead, Margaret noted se

The name Dave shifted Thomas' expression slightly, but Irene didn't notice it. Since Jordan had said that Dave was hiding in San Fetillo and Thomas had been living in San Fetillo for quite some time, Irene reckoned that perhaps Thomas had heard of Dave before. "By the way, Uncle Thomas, in all your years in San Fetillo, have you ever heard of a person named Dave Walker?" "Nope!" Thomas replied. "Ah, I'm not thinking straight. If Dave is hiding in San Fetillo, there is no way he would reveal his real name," Irene mocked herself. "Irene, why are you guys looking for this Dave guy?" Thomas questioned. Irene told Thomas about the stadium design. "If we can get Dave to design it, then the chances of the Golden Age Group winning will be high. If we can't find him, it will likely end with a tie with the Myers Group.” Thomas seemed to consider her statement carefully. "Irene, heaven helps the worthy. Perhaps you'll find Dave."

Edric stood at the door with a grim expression. He had received a call from Lily informing that Margaret had gone to Irene. Although Margaret had a bad temper, Irene was no pushover either. He had been worried that a clash would happen between them. Thus, he rushed over immediately. However, Edric heard Margaret begging Irene at the door, to which Irene had asked Margaret if Edric was an animal. At that, Edric became hot under the collar. "Why are you here?" Margaret was startled by Edric's arrival. Edric did not answer her. Instead, he fixed his eyes on Irene steadily for a while before extending his hand. "Miss Nelson, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Edric, and I'm not an animal you think I am." Irene turned a blind eye to his outstretched hand. "Mrs. Myers, I have nothing to say to you. I hope you will never again engage in such childish behavior. Don't call me on the phone and don't look for me at my workplace." With that, she turned to leave wit

Jordan continued to fume, "Don't let Edric off the hook either. Doesn't he love to cheat? You should return the favor and find countless women to seduce him, so Lily can experience the same pain you had back then." Irene was stupefied. Jordan's suggestion... was a good one! If she could find a woman to seduce Edric and steal his sperm... Suddenly, she stepped on the brakes. "Jordan, will you do me a favor?" "What favor do you need?" After Irene told him her plan to steal the sperm, Jordan was in disbelief. "Do you really want another child with Edric?" "I'm not doing this to have another child with Edric, but for Eden. The doctor said the chances of getting a suitable bone marrow donor is low. I don't want anything to happen to Eden, so..." Jordan was silent for a while. "I don't think having a child is a problem. It's just the thought of you getting entangled with a scum like Edric again doesn't sit well with me." "I'm not trying to g

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

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?"
