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

The next morning, both Irene and Jordan went to the company with a bruise on their faces. They looked at each other and broke out in laughter. The atmosphere in the office was much better than before. Jordan took Irene to the nearest restaurant for lunch. It was a place that focused on Cantonese cuisine. Irene muttered to herself, 'Jordan doesn't like Cantonese cuisine, does he? What's wrong with him today?' Before the two sat down, a voice rang out, "I was searching everywhere for you!" Irene took a look and saw Randy, along with his two men, were staring at her and Jordan. Although Jordan had just arrived in San Fetillo, he had already known San Fetillo very well and recognized Randy at a glance. He sneered and said, "You missed the second half of that saying. And yet here we are!" "Teach this kid a lesson first!" Randy ordered his two bodyguards. The two men rushed over. They thought it would be an easy fight, yet surprisingly, they were vanquished

They were all stunned. Kinsey was the first to react. Sneering, she sad in a provocative tone, "Hey! Isn't this Lily the Home Wrecker?" Hearing that, everyone in the shop fixed their eyes on Lily. Lily's face turned red. As a famous socialite in San Fetillo, she was humiliated by what Kinsey called her. "It seems that the adulterer is going to turn you into a proper second wife now?" A hint of sarcasm flashed across Kinsey's face. "Even a mistress is shameless enough to wear a nice gown these days. Times have really changed." Lily was so embarrassed that she was dying to find a place to hide. But Kinsey didn't intend to let her off the hook easily. "Have you ever thought about karma when you destroy other people's family? Tell you what. You're gonna have a son without as*hole. That's the price you'll have to pay." "Kinsey!" Irene knew Kinsey well and was sure that she would keep coming down on Lily. She pushed Kinsey into the fitting room. "Try this on first.

Of course, Irene would not let Kinsey suffer because of her. She turned it over in her mind and decided that she had to clarify it with Edric since this happened because of her. But Edric never answered her phone again. Out of options, she went to Edric's company yet was stopped by the front desk. "Miss, what can I do for you? Did you have an appointment?" The woman who stopped Irene was not the receptionist she saw when she came here last time. Irene knew this woman. She was the receptionist of Edric's company in Oxton three years ago. She was surprised to see that she came to San Fetillo with Edric as well. Three years ago, this woman would always gently push the elevator button for her whenever she wanted to see Edric. Now, she talked to her as if she didn't know her at all. Things had changed indeed. Irene remained composed and said, "I want to see your president." "May I ask if you have an appointment? You can't see Mr. Myers if you don't have an appoint

The car stopped in front of City Hall. Jordan got out of the car and led Irene into the building. The two went to a meeting room and saw Edric right after they pushed the door open. Edric wore a well-pressed suit and brought his Executive Assistant John with him. There were also CEOs and assistants from other companies that participated in the bidding. Irene stood behind Jordan after he sat down since all the other assistants were standing. Surprisingly, Jordan pulled her to sit down next to him. Seeing how Jordan arranged for Irene to sit next to him, Edric's eyes darkened. Jordan noticed the change of Edric's expression and whispered, "Myers seems to be quite hostile to me?" "Is that so?" Irene glanced in Edric's direction. Edric's charming eyes stared at her without blinking. Irene looked away indifferently. Jordan answered her "Yeah, I always feel that Myers looks at you in a strange way. Do you really not know each other?" "I don't know him!"

When Steven returned home in the evening, Deborah and her daughter greeted him with a smile. "You're back!" Steven nodded and went to sit down on the sofa. Deborah said to Lily, "Lily, make some tea for your father." Then, she followed Steven and sat down next to him. "Steven, I heard that Irene is back?" Steven nodded. "Yes, Irene is back!" Deborah didn't expect that Steven had already met with Irene. Irene showed up after disappearing for years. It couldn't be that simple. Thinking of that, she asked tentatively, "Then why didn't you bring her home? That child has suffered so much! We should care for her more." Deborah acted like a loving mother. "It's not the right time. Irene still holds a deep grudge against me! She won't forgive me!" Steven sighed. "It's all my fault. I wasn't considerate back then. That was why both Lily and Irene had to suffer!" Deborah also sighed when she saw Steven mentioned the past. "We were only doing it for Irene's own
