Chapter 15
Irene didn't know whether Jordan was telling the truth or not, but she wouldn't give up any chance. Therefore, she immediately rushed to Hyatt Hotel.
She opened the car door and rushed into the hotel as soon as she arrived there. She sprinted to the elevator and saw Edric and Lily inside when she stepped in. It was too late to get out.
Besides, there was no need for her to pull back. She had always been upright and honest. Why should she be afraid of this pair of adulterers? Seeing Irene entering the elevator, Lily immediately leaned on Edric.
Edric was a little stiff. He glanced at Irene from the corner of his eyes. She didn't look at him at all. Instead, she just stood aside with her hands folded and there wasn't any emotion on her face.
Simmering with anger, he wanted to push Lily away at first. Yet being ignored by Irene motivated him to hold Lily even tighter in his arms. Irene's eyes were not on them at all.
The phone in her pocket rang

In the darkness of night, a beautifully-designed black car was parked under the building Irene and Thomas lived in. The light was dim and the cigarette was flickering in the car, illuminating the man's gloomy face. The watch on his wrist showed it was three am already. Yet the woman was still nowhere to be seen. Edric, who had been waiting in the car for five hours, cracked a sarcastic smile. He knew she would stay outside all night when he saw the woman and Jordan left the hotel together intimately. But he still couldn't control himself and had to come and have a look. There was still a trace of hope remaining in his heart. Yet it turned out it was nothing but an unrealistic fantasy. He threw away the cigarette butt angrily, started the car, and soon disappeared into the darkness. His mother, Margaret, was still waiting for him in the living room when he arrived at home. She complained when she saw Edric coming back, "Edric, what's wrong with you? Mr. Cook r

Margaret saw Edric coming downstairs as she stepped through the door. She sat down angrily and said, "Edric, that Irene is really shameless. We all underestimated her in the past." "Mom, did you go to find her?" Edric frowned slightly. "I didn't go to her. She was the one who came to me. She suddenly found me this morning and asked me to give her ten million." Eager to smear Irene, Margaret certainly didn't speak the truth. "She came to you? Why would she go to you for no reason?" Edric asked. "She's not resigned! Since the divorce, she has been penniless and jealous about your upcoming engagement with Lily and your company's success. That's why she came to me, asking for money. She said she would tell people how Lily got pregnant back then and defame both of you if we don't give her money." "Did she really say that?" "Of course it's true. I'm your mother. Why do I lie to you?" Margaret was well-prepared when she went to see Irene. She took out a voic

With Jordan's help, Irene's uncle soon got a new kidney, and the operation was very successful. Irene felt relieved. She stayed with her uncle in the hospital for a few days. Seeing that her uncle was recovering well, she fulfilled her promise and went back to work at Jordan's company. Jordan sized her up and down when he saw her showing up in a conventional outfit. "Irene, dressing like this is a waste of your beauty! It's a waste! Don't make yourself look like an old maid in the future. You should dress up so I can enjoy the view when I'm in the office." Irene ignored him and took a cup to prepare Jordan's tea as before. Then she began to look at Jordan's schedule today. Jordan squinted and took a sip of tea. He exhaled a long sigh and said, "The tea you made tastes very good, Irene. I missed you very much and couldn't even do my job well without seeing you these days." He used to talk to her in a rude manner, yet now he always spoke to her with a coy smile. Irene

On the way back, Edric leaned back in the back seat with his eyes closed. It seemed that he was resting, yet only he knew that he wasn't resting at all. His mind was a complete mess. It had been three years. The person who disappeared for three years suddenly came back. But instead of being surprised, he was deeply troubled by it, "Where did she go in the past three years?" How did she and Jordan get together? He had always thought that she was with Nathan for the past three years. It seemed that the situation was different from what he expected. In a trance, he couldn't help but think of that day three years ago. Three years ago, he found the house eerily quiet when he opened the door of the villa in the morning. He stood in the living room for a moment and stomped upstairs. To his surprise, there was no one inside when he opened the bedroom door. He figured that she must have gone to shop for groceries, so he went in and sat on the bed, quietly waiting for

Jordan and Irene returned to the office after lunch. He suddenly asked Irene in a serious tone, "Have you picked the engagement gift I asked you to choose for Edric?" "No!" "Well, you don't need to pick the gift now. I've already asked someone to buy it. You can deliver it on behalf of me!" "I'll deliver it for you?" Irene was shocked. "Yes, you will do it!" Jordan said in an unquestionable manner. Irene realized that she was making a fuss. She was Jordan's assistant. How could she not follow her boss's orders? Edric had long been a stranger to her. It was not a big deal for her to send a gift to an ordinary customer. David handed over the gift he bought to Irene. She went to Edric's company right away. The receptionist stopped her and said she had to have an appointment to meet with the president. Irene told her that she was Mr. Reed's assistant and came here to send a gift on behalf of the Golden Age Group. The receptionist immediately called for in

Standing by the door with a bag in her hand, Lily was stunned by what she saw. Edric didn't panic at all for being caught by Lily. He turned his head and asked calmly, "Why are you here?" His voice was gentle yet his eyes were frosty. Lily felt a chill down her spine when she saw his stone cold face. "...I came to.." Her words were stuck in her throat when she saw that the woman who was pushed against the wall by Edric was Irene. She thought that Edric was flirting with some other women in the office. But she never expected it was Irene. Why would Irene come to Edric's office? When did they hook up again? She was unsettled and agitated. Irene glanced at Lily's shocking face and sneered to herself. She pushed Edric away and walked out in long strides. Although she didn't want to be forced by Edric, she still felt particularly relieved since Lily saw this scene. Back in the days, Lily shamelessly disrupted her marriage as if it was right

Back in Jordan's company, Jordan was sitting in his office and having a fit of temper with a stern face. Documents were scattered all over the floor. David lowered his head and stood still without saying a word. Irene quickly picked up and organized the documents and put them in front of Jordan. Jordan wiped the anger off his face upon seeing Irene. "Call Keaton, the guy who is in charge of city construction!" "Okay!" Irene immediately picked up the phone and called Keaton. She reported to Jordan after the call, "Mr. Reed, Keaton agreed!" "Agreed? Hahaha, that old fox!" Jordan sneered with a weary look in his eyes. It was said that Keaton from the City Construction Bureau was a tough nut. As long as he was on board, everything would be easy to handle. However, Edric must have also thought of whatever Jordan could think of. Furthermore, Edric had one more card to play -- Steven Cook. Jordan's chances of winning were slim if Secretary Cook weighed in.

The door was suddenly pushed open after that. A cold voice rang out, "Mr. Smith, you are surely enjoying yourself!" Irene recognized the familiar voice and looked at the door in a daze. Wearing a black suite, Edric stood at the door and watched everything with a cold expression. Irene's blurred vision gradually became clear. She could see a cold smile on that familiar face. He looked at them without any emotion in his eyes. Irene closed her eyes in agony. She would rather be r*ped than letting this man see her in such a sorry plight. "Mr. Myers!" Randy didn't expect that Edric would drop in out of the blue. He wore an ingratiating smile on his face. "What brought you here?" "This is my turf!" Edric said in a calm voice, "Randy, you're causing troubles in my territory. Don't you think you owe me an explanation?" Edric was aloof by nature and never liked to meddle in other people's business. Randy had assaulted other women in front of him in the past and had never seen
