Chapter 3 He Dosen''t Love You At Any Rate


    Irene watched her act quietly. Her cell phone got nothing there!


    She wanted to see how Celine would patch up a lie.


    Edward frowned and was about to pick up the phone to take a look. Celine suddenly stepped on the


    edge of her skirt and fell heavily to the ground. The phone, of course, flew out of her hand and hit the


    marble floor with arge thud. The screen was cracked and the phone shut off after a few shes.


    Irene was stunned, and Edward was the first to react. He bent over to help Celine up.


    "It hurts..." Celiney in her arms with a pale face, with her fingers tightly covering her underbelly,


    "Edward, my belly hurts..."


    She was only two months''s pregnant!


    "I''ll take you to the hospital right away!" Edward''s expression changed. He held up Celine and strode


    away regardless of anything.


    Having taken a step, he suddenly stopped. He tilted his head and stared coldly at Irene. "You''d better


    not record videos that you should not, or I will not spare you!"


    Irene pursed her lips and her eyes gazed stubbornly. When the sound of his footsteps disappeared


    her body.


    That man never believed her.


    The broken cell phone stilly quietly on the floor. Irene stared at it. Her eyes suddenly felt sore, and


    tears of grief and anger welled up in her eyes.


    She raised her hand and wiped her tears vigorously. She bent down and quietly picked up the broken


    phone.


    As her fingers closed around the broken phone, a drop fell onto the shattered screen, which was


    particrly striking.


    Irene sniffled and held back her tears. After putting the phone away, she straightened her back and


    walked out.


    After the intense incident earlier, she felt dizzy. The after-effects of the whole night intensified, and she


    even felt a little weak.


    Leaning against the wall, she closed her eyes and wanted a break.


    Her body was suddenly struck down by someone. Irene opened her eyes and saw that it was a


    drunken woman. She was in a trance and smiled at Irene. Then she staggered away.


    Irene did not take this episode seriously, but when she got home and found her phone with a broken


    screen missing, she was startled.


    Her phone must have been taken away by that woman!


    As for her purpose and the mastermind behind, she could figure it out even with her toes!

    It must be Celine. She wanted to make an issue of the video that she framed her in the toilet today!


    Irene clenched her fists tightly. Because of anger and forbearance, her fists were shaking slightly.


    In less than three days, Edward would definitely see a video of her secretly recording their love affair,


    and maybe there would also be an email to threaten Celine.


    ''Celine, you are really scheming and vile.''


    Irene fixed her eyes and thought hatefully for a while. Then, she suddenly smiled slyly.


    She picked up the phone and dialed the hotel number.


    Hanging up the phone, Irene called her assistant and asked Sherry to reaaply the card and send a new


    phone to her.


    After the phone call, Irene had a rare good night''s sleep. When she awoke, she felt full of energy. After


    she washed up, Sherry had already sent her a new cell phone.


    Irene preserved her familiar phone numbers and was about to go to thepany when her new phone


    rang.


    It was the Jones family.


    "Mom, what''s the matter?"


    "Irene, go home quickly. Something happened." Sofia, her mother, said with sobs.


    "What happened?" Irene hurried out of the door and hastily got into the car. "Mama, do not cry. I''ll be


    right there."


    Sofia sobbed and said, "Hurry up, hurry up!"


    Irene hung up the phone and drove all the way home.


    "Mom, what happened?" Irene panickily.


    Sofia sat on the sofa and wept so much that her eyes were red and swollen. When she saw Irene she


    burst into tears again. Holding Irene ''s hand tightly, she said, "Go to Edward and ask him to lend us 100


    million. Otherwise, your father''spany will be gone."


    "Mom, tell me what''s going on first. Calm down and stop crying." Irene said calmly.


    Sofia tearfully exined, "Your brother secretly embezzled the liquidity fund and used it to gamble. He


    lost and mortgaged thend the firm just auctioned. The piece ofnd was bought by the partners.


    Since the money was not paid, the court has now seized thend for sale. The partners now wanted to


    withdraw their money and ask the firm to return their investment, but the firm has gone bankrupt thanks


    to your brother. How could we give them back their money?"


    Sofia burst into tears as she spoke. "Irene, you''re the only one who can help thepany now. Make


    Edward lend you money. He''s your husband and will definitely help you!"


    Irene only felt ironic. Her mother was her father''s second wife, an elder brother and sister. They had the


    same father but different mother, but they had been excluded since childhood. When she was young,


    they had thought of countless ways to tease her. Later, when they grew up, they directly banished her


    out of the Jones family.


    At that time, she was still young, so she had to rent an apartment outside alone. She was clearly the


    daughter of the Jones family, but could onlye back once during holidays.


    She had often told her father about her brother Tristan''s embezzlement of money. Her father, however,


    had not listened to her. That was the reason she came to her now.


    Didn''t he feel ashamed?


    Moreover, they knew the rtionship between her and her husband. How could they get that kind of


    money from him?


    "Mama, a hundred million is no small amount. Edward will not give us that." Irene had spoken the truth.


    "What can he not give us? I think you are the one who would not help us!" Tristan came down from the


    stairs with all his arrogance. "Has not this Edward always wanted to divorce you? Just tell him he has


    to give you a hundred million and you''ll agree to the divorce!"


    When Irene heard this, she suddenly burst into a mockingugh. Tristan was so shamless to speak so


    selfish words.


    "Why should I betray my marriage to make up for your mistakes? Tristan, don''t you feel ashamed?"


    "Irene, do not speak to your brother like that!" Sofia tugged quickly at her arm and red at her


    disapprovingly.


    She had been like this since she was young. It was as if Tristan and Stacy were Sofia''s own children,


    and she was just an outsider picked up on the side of the road. Sofia had never helped her!


    Irene avoided her hand. Her face was cold.


    "Why do you not listen to the way he speaks to me? He wants me to betray my marriage to get money.


    Does he deserve to be an older brother?"


    Sofia said angrily, "What''s wrong with that? Besides, your marriage to Edward was in name only. He


    has a child with that female star! Yet you will not divorce him. You are the shameless one!"


    Irene''s face turned pale in an instant. Sofia''s words were sharp, piercing the softest scar in Irene''s


    heart.


    Yes, the most shameless thing for her was to force Edward to marry her!


    "Yes, I am shameless." Irene took a step back. At the sight of Tristan''s proud face and Sofia''s


    inappropriate scolding, she felt that this ce was too foreign for her. "Since I am the most shameless,


    thepany is useless. Do not ask me for help!"


    After that, she grabbed her handbag and was determined to leave.


    "Irene, stop!" Tristan dashed forward and grabbed her, refusing to let her leave. "If you don''t ask


    Edward for money today, you will never leave the house!"
