Chapter 61
Irene turned around noticing that he was no longer beside him. Although she had been trying to hide the fact that she was nervous, her clothes drenched in sweat had already betrayed her. It was really unfair to Jeremy. However, Irene had no choice other than to make him the scapegoat. Edric had already come crashing and demanding an explanation. The thing with Jeremy was the only leverage she had.Back then, there was already a marriage in the works between Jeremy and her. All of the neighbors had already assumed that she was Jeremy's fiancee and the child belonged to him too. Even if Edric began investigating the matter, he wouldn't find anything otherwise.Edric immediately instructed John to verify everything Irene said. And the result he got was indeed in line with Irene's statement. She was going to get married to Jeremy, and the only thing that stopped them was Jeremy's heroic death He also heard that Eden's birth certificate was also derived from the Field famil

Edric never even expected that she would stay in San Fetillo and bore a child for a peasant. If he hadn't forced her back then, maybe she would not resort to that too? She couldn't get pregnant after three years with him but she got a baby so quickly after leaving him. It was a huge slap to Edric's face. Edric knew that one of the reasons for infertility was stress and it was probably because of Margaret. Edric really regretted not moving out with Irene earlier. If he had just been more resolute and strong-minded, everything would surely turn out better. They might even have a child together. As long as they had a child, Margaret would stop pestering Irene. But it was too late now. It was his indecisiveness that made all this mess. Edric didn't want to go home. He went to the bar alone and started drinking. His phone kept ringing but he didn't bother to look at it. He downed a lot of wine and finally went home after calling a driver over to the bar.

These words made Deborah feel a little relieved. It had been so many years since they set up Irene to undergo the sterilization procedure secretly. Besides, the doctor who operated on Irene had already passed away in a car accident. Even if they were to investigate this matter, it would be a medical malpractice at most. She and Lily would never be exposed.However, what they were going to face now was not this problem. If Edric knew that Irene could conceive, things would be in chaos! Seeing that Deborah's expression turned dark, Lily could not help feeling agitated as she muttered to herself, "How could this happen? Mom, what should we do now? What should I do if the child is Edric's?" Deborah had no time to comfort Lily. She knew that things had already gotten out of hand, but it was not the time for them to panic. She had to think of a way. Deborah was different from Lily.After all, she had experienced a lot in life. She quickly recomposed themselves. At present, w

Seeing Margaret's sudden appearance at the hospital, Marie stood up with a smile. "How did such a busy person like you find the time to come over today?""I have something I need to discuss with you!" Margaret's expression was clearly written with displeasure. Marie immediately asked the patient to be excused. After the patient left the room, she closed the door. Margaret flounced herself onto the chair. "I'm here to ask you one thing. Is Irene really not able to have children?"Fortunately, Deborah had already informed Marie about the situation beforehand. Otherwise, she would have been caught off guard by Margaret's sudden visit. She grabbed Margaret's wrist and asked, "What happened?""Irene has a child now. But didn't you tell me previously that she couldn't get pregnant?" Margaret questioned. "Irene has a child? Are you sure?" Since Marie had heard all this from Deborah, she had already thought of a way to deal with it. With a surprised look on her face, sh

Margaret and Lily were upset, but it was the same for Edric too. Ever since he learned that Irene had remarried and had a child, he was never in peace. He always thought that Irene's appearance on the dating show was just to make up the numbers.It turned out that she really wanted to find a father for Eden. That was why she chose someone like Bert. When he thought of the fact that Irene almost ruined her life by marrying Bert, he was filled with guilt, remorse, and hatred.All that happened to Irene was because of him, and he had to think of a way to make up to her. Therefore, he could not focus on work for the past few days at all. After work, he did not go home, but drove around Southlake Residence where Irene lived. That time, he found that Jordan had become a frequent visitor of Irene's.Looking at Jordan swaggering in and out of her house and playing with Eden, Edric was frustrated. Jordan looked at her with such passionate intent in his eyes. Even a blind

When the security guard finished the call, Eden, who was on the sofa, had already disappeared. Eden ran to the elevator and pressed the button a few times. However, the elevator wasn't opening. He didn't dare to stay put as he was afraid that the security guard would catch up to him. Without hesitation, he ran towards the exit.Edric was driving. He inadvertently glanced at the side and was shocked when he saw a familiar figure. "Isn't that Irene's child? Why is he alone on the road?" he thought. Edric immediately stopped the car and went straight to Eden. Eden was out of breath. All of a sudden, Edric was seen standing in front of him, asking, "Where are you going? Where is your mother?""Sir!" Eden exclaimed as if he had seen his savior. "There are bad guys chasing after me. I'm scared.""Fret not. I will protect you," Edric replied.Only after Irene was done with her fax did she realize that Eden was gone. She thought that Eden was playing in another o

Edric parked his car at the entrance. At the same time, Margaret had also reached their house in her own car. The duo went into the villa, both irate. The maid, Loraine Bush, was shocked when she saw Margaret's sorry state. She asked, "What's wrong?" Margaret didn't answer Loraine. She threw her purse on the sofa and hissed, "Let's talk!" "Okay!" Edric spat out a word and flounced himself onto the sofa. He looked at Margaret coldly and asked, "What do you want to talk about?" Margaret was smittering with fury when she saw how indifferent Edric was. "Edric, how can you be so coldblooded? I am your mother, but you didn't do anything when that woman splashed the water on me. Look at how arrogant that woman has become!" "You asked for it!" Edric sneered, "As a well-educated individual, how dare you interfere with other people in public? You even attacked her in front of her child! You should already consider yourself lucky that you got off with just that!" "How c

Even though Loraine was the maid to the Myers family, she was so vicious to her own employer. Lily felt a chill down her spine. After the matter was over, she had hoped Loraine would just leave with the money, but Deborah disagreed. She said Loraine could still be useful, and now it seemed like Deborah was right. "You can't drive a useful person away when the job is only half done. Is this how you plan on doing things in the future? Before you officially become a member of the Myers family, Loraine can't leave. Besides, we have Loraine's son as a leverage. Since we have something to hold against her, she won't just betray us." Deborah snorted. "Mom, you'd better think of a way to deal with Edric and Irene. What if they remarry each other? Goodness, I feel so anxious!" "As long as you can make sure that the child is not Edric's, nothing will happen." Deborah was not too worried. "The child is definitely not Edric's. If it were, Margaret would not have quarrele

Chapter 69
After leaving Irene, Margaret went to meet Marie angrily. "I'm so angry. That woman will really be the death of me. She and I have always been on opposing ends. Even now when she's divorced with my son, she still haunts me." "Have some water and calm down." Marie poured a glass of water for Margaret. Margaret took a sip of water but she was still fuming when she thought about it. "She didn't want my money, that means she's still thinking of remarrying Edric. Edric, on the other hand, is also blinded by his emotions. She's a married woman with a child, yet he still pines after her. How infuriating." "She's going against you on purpose. When she couldn't have children, she's too ashamed to come back. Now that she has a child, she came back just to get under your skin. What an evil woman. She knows that Edric has feelings for her, and she's using him to turn you two against each other!" Marie commented worriedly. "Yes, she really is evil. I can't let her have it her way

Chapter 70
The people present at the dinner were all famous in San Fetillo, but Irene only knew a few of them. Edric and Rowane sat by the window. When Edric saw Jordan and Irene enter, he swept his eyes past them indifferently and continued talking to Rowane. Seeing Jordan with Irene, someone immediately teased him, "Mr. Reed, is this your new girl?" Jordan glared at him and hissed, "Hey, watch it. This isn't my new girl, she's my fiancee, Irene!" "Fiancee?" Jordan's words attracted everyone's attention. Edric was holding a cup and drinking tea with a smile on his face, but his eyes darkened when he heard Jordan. Was Jordan serious? "Well, she really is beautiful. Mr. Reed, you're so lucky!" someone praised. "Of course. I only like a pretty and talented woman." Jordan was very proud. Irene scowled at him. Jordan pulled out the chair and said, "Take a seat, my dear!" His affectionate nickname for her made Irene grow goosebumps all over her body. There was a burst of laughter around the
