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

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

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.

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!"

Deborah was having treatment in the beauty salon. She was also shocked by the news. "I'll go home right away and ask my husband!" Deborah called Steven and asked him about the bidding. Steven was a little impatient. "Why did you get involved? The decision was made by the municipal committee." Steven was right. It was indeed the municipal committee that picked the Golden Age Group as the winner. The Reed Family had always been investing and developing abroad. Of course the city opened the door for them when they returned to invest in San Fetillo. However, if Steven, the Secretary, were willing to fight for Edric, the Golden Age Group wouldn't be the winner. But he would never tell Deborah this. Deborah noticed the irritation in Steven's tone. She knew Steven's temper very well, so she had to hang up the phone for now. Lily also rushed back after receiving the news. Panting, she asked as soon as she stepped inside, "Mom, what should we do?" "Let's wait until yo
