Chapter 91

"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

Chapter 92

"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

Chapter 93

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

Chapter 94

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

Chapter 95

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

Chapter 96

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

Chapter 97

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." "I know you're t

Chapter 98

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

Chapter 99

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

Chapter 100

Irene's words made Steven lose his appetite. He brought an ATM card to Irene's room and said, "Irene, this is for you. The pin is your birthday." Irene took the card without hesitance. "Remember to tell me if you need help. I will try everything in my power to help you," Steven added. Irene was skeptical. Nonetheless, she replied to him with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Cook!" Steven noticed her indifferent attitude. He left dejected and met with Deborah. Deborah handed him another ATM card and said, "Steven, Irene must be having it really hard right now. I have some savings here. Give it to her for me." Deborah's gesture of kindness made Steven speechless. "Forget it, leave all the money you have for Lily. I will find a way to help Irene," Steven responded and went into the study. Deborah wasn't sincere; she was just trying to gain some points for herself. It was great that Steven didn't take the money. After Steven left, she then took the card t
