Chapter 201
A group of policemen and members of the Business Association showed up at the nightclub, locking it down and putting it under investigation due to a report that was lodged against them for allegedly selling illegal liquor. The liquor, costing up to millions, was then discovered in the warehouse of the club. Not only were the fake goods confiscated, a fine was also imposed upon the nightclub by the Business Association, as per accordance to the law. It was not a small number, ranging up from more than 50% to less than three times the market price of the authentic goods. Due to the huge amount of the confiscated goods, the operating license of nightclub was also suspended. It was hell of a day for Tommy. His club was locked down, his cash ran dry and he almost got himself a court case. If Deborah had not sought Steven's help, things would have turned out even worse. Compared to Tommy, who had lost all money, Logan and Deborah fared better, but they still lost a

Edric had made an appointment to meet with Thomas. He made no effort to hide his true intentions either as he said, "I'm going to ask you a questions about your past. I hope you will be honest and tell me only the truth." It then dawned on Thomas that Edric had found out the truth about his identity. He remained calm, "What do you want to know?" "I have a lot of things I want to know. First of all, why are you pretending to be Thomas? Secondly, tell me more about Marie." "Pretending to be Thomas wasn't exactly my intention,” Dave sighed and told Edric about how his wallet had been robbed because of a famous painting. "When the real Thomas had passed away in an accident, I had returned to San Fetillo in a sorry state, and had nowhere to go. Irene's mother took me in and since then I've been using Thomas' identity to avoid unnecessary trouble." "Do Steven and Deborah know about your true identity as a famous designer?" Dave shook his hea

Although she was surprised by Lily's behavior, the obstetrician was smart too. She immediately took Lily's weight, blood pressure, heart rate, and acted busy. Edric had been standing aside and watching Lily while she did the examinations. After the doctor's checkup had come to an end, he began to ask the doctor about Lily's condition in detail. The doctor told Edric that the baby was in good condition and healthy. Edric was joyful when he heard this, "She looked so slim so I was worried about her health. I'm feel totally relieved now after hearing your words." When Lily heard that Edric cared about her, she felt warmth in her heart. Edric then asked the doctor if he could know the babies' gender at that moment. There was a rule in the hospital saying that they were not allowed to reveal the baby's gender. However, Edric's status was not like others. The obstetrician did an ultrasound for Lily. She said that because of the babies' position, it was not

Edric was determined to let Lily give birth to the babies. He told Irene all of this because he was afraid that she would misunderstood his attitude towards Lily. He had to gain Lily, Deborah and the others' trust and make them believe that he would change his mind towards Lily's children. Not long after Lily got home from the hospital after the surgery, Edric ordered John to prepare gifts to send to the Cook family. Lily was lying on the bed and talking to Deborah about Edric's words in the hospital that day. After hearing that Edric had accompanied her to the check up and asked Lily to do the amniocentesis, Deborah had a bad feeling in her heart. Edric's attitude towards Lily had changed a lot. When Lily first got pregnant, Edric had stood his ground and said that he would kill Lily's children. Would he take this opportunity to get rid of them this time? Deborah called and told Marie her worries. She planned to send Lily to Marie to have a check-up. Marie w

"Because of Marie," Dave sighed. He told Irene about Marie threatening him, and continued, "If Marie wasn't so vicious, I would have buried this in my heart for the rest of my life, but now I don't think I can do it anymore. Since Marie can do such harmful things to Margaret, she could do it to someone else. I am worried that she'll harm others again." "What does Marie have on you?" Irene asked back. Dave (Thomas) had always been peaceful and never offended anyone. The only thing that Marie could threaten him with was his real identity. However, in recent years, Dave (Thomas) had been really good to her. Her grandmother had married Dave's father. Although she wasn't related to Dave by blood, he was indeed her uncle. This reason wouldn't be a threat to him at all. Dave (Thomas) stayed silent after Irene's question. After a while, he opened his mouth and said, "Because she knew that I liked your mother." "What did you say?" Irene's voice changed

Jordan knocked hard on the door outside and asked Irene to open it, but no matter how hard they tried, there was no reply. Worried that something would happen to Irene, Jordan turned to look at Dave (Thomas) and Kinsey, "It seems that the only way now is to break the door down!” Dave (Thomas) and Kinsey had no other way, so they just nodded. Jordan took a few steps back and crashed the door open with force. As the door opened, they saw Irene holding her head and sitting on the bed. The three of them breathed a sigh of relief. Upon seeing the door suddenly opened, Irene was shocked. She stared at the three of them who were at the door with her eyes wide open and her face bore a shocked expression. Kinsey closed the door and walked to her side, "Irene, you've scared us to death!” Irene gave her a bitter smile, "Why did you come back?" "Uncle Thomas called us to come back. What happened?" Kinsey sat down beside Irene and looked at her with concern.

Jordan stood up and held Irene, "Have a seat. I've been trying to tell you about this, but I was afraid that you wouldn't accept it. Since you've heard everything, there's no need for me to hide it anymore. I suspect that Deborah caused your mother's death." Jordan repeated what he just said. Irene's face paled and her body kept trembling. She wanted to grab something, but there was nothing to hold on to, so she tightly clenched onto the sofa. Due to using too much strength, her fingertips turned white. Seeing her like this, Kinsey was frightened, "Irene, Irene, are you okay?" Irene did not speak. When her mother had died, she was still in school. When she had heard the bad news and rushed to the hospital, she had only seen her mother's cold body. She remembered what her mother had looked like at that time. She had been covered in blood and her face was pale. Her mother had stayed in the hospital morgue for two days. Later, the driver, who had caused the acci

Irene was planning to move back to the Cook family. However, she did not expect Edric to call her that night. He told her that he witnessed Steven being hospitalized and asked if she planned to visit him. Irene had happened to watch Steven on the TV regarding news of his meeting in the province the day before. Steven seemed energetic then. He did not look sick. Why would he suddenly be admitted to the hospital? She recalled the time when Steven had pretended to be sick and hospitalized. Irene had a hunch that something must have happened to Steven during his meeting at the province, so he pretended to be sick again. So, she didn't take it to heart. Not long after dinner, Maisy called to inform Irene that Steven had been admitted into the hospital because he had passed out. She requested Irene to head over to the hospital to visit him. When Irene rushed to the hospital, there were only Steven and Maisy in the ward. Irene felt skeptical over Deborah and

Both Deborah and Lily were taken aback to see Irene and Eden coming home to celebrate Steven's birthday. They exchanged glances and knew what this entailed. Didn't Marie say that Irene would leave San Fetillo soon? However, why did the situation turn out to be the opposite of what she had said? They knew it was time to have a chat with Marie about what was happening. Both the mother and daughter forced a smile as they faced Irene and Eden. Deborah even praised Eden, "Eden has grown up so handsomely! You'll definitely become a handsome man when you're older!" Lily hurriedly complemented her mother's actions. Eden asked Irene, "Mom, who are they?" Irene pointed at Deborah and Lily before explaining, "She is Mrs. Cook, and she is Mrs. Cook's daughter. You may call her Miss Cook." Eden nodded, "Hello, Mrs. Cook and Miss Cook!" The way he had greeted both Deborah and her daughter disgusted them. Eden was shocked to see Lily's pregnant belly and ask
