Chapter 7


    As it was gettingte, Ireneid down in bed soon fell into a deep slumber.


    She then began to dream.


    In her dreams, she had returned to that day three years ago when Lily showed her huge belly to her and smiled gleefully as she announced,


    "Irene, I''m pregnant with his child.”


    Irene merely pped her in the face, but that led to Lily''s subsequent miscarriage


    She felt afraid and angry when she saw the blood that was sttered all over the ground.


    ‘Smack!’ The crisp sound of a p could be heard, along with the vicious cursing by Margaret, "B*tch, you''re a fruitless tree and yet you simply can''t


    allow others to do what you''ve failed to achieve, could you?"


    "This is the divorce agreement. Please look through and sign your name on it," thewyer said indifferently.


    "Mr. Myers, don''t have the time the spare. Stop wasting time. Hurry and sign it. It''s better for all of us.”


    Irene had loved and fully devoted herself to


    Edric for five years. She had thought that she could entrust herself to him for the rest of her life.


    A searing pain threatened to rip Irene''s heart apart, and her entire body was drenched with cold sweat. She then quivered and woke up with a start.


    She had been haunted by these terrible dreams for the past three years. Irene rubbed her head and sat up before she grabbed her cellphone from


    the bedside table and took one nce at the time. It was 4 a.m in the morning.


    After Irene had roused from her nightmare, couldn''t seem to fall asleep anymore. As her body was wet with sweat, she slipped out of bed and took a


    shower before she changed into a fresh set of clothes and went to the kitchen to make breakfast

    Irene quickly finished her breakfast


    and hurried dgwnstairs with her bag.


    She lived in afiold style house tnat

    heading in her direction. She


    immediately bolted towards the bus


    and overlooked a ck luxury


    carthat was parked beside the alley.


    Edric watched as Irene rushed onto the bus before he rolled down his car window. He held onto a cigarette butt and stared at the direction where she


    had disappeared off to with a gloomy look in his eyes.


    It was hard for Edric ta distinguish his emotions when he saw Irene, who had been missing for three years, and suddenly appeared


    "Irene, it''s good that you''re back," he thought.


    Irene rushed into thepany and because she was early today, there was nobody. She then tidied up the office and made a cup of tea for Jordan


    before she sat down in her seat and turned on herputer.


    While she was looking through Jordan''s schedule for the day, heard the sound of footfall at the entrance. Jordan and his Executive Assistant, David


    Brown, hade.


    Jordon was rather surprised to see Irene in the office at such an early hour, and his lips curled up into a mischievous grin as he said, "Irene, are you


    hoping that I''ll give you more bonus foring in early? Fat hope! I would rather give my money to a beautiful woman than to an ugly monster like


    you. It''d be a waste of my resources."


    When Irene joined thepany, she


    already knew that Jordan was a


    lustful man. Although Nathan

    sses.


    Thus, Jordan had never looked at Irene in the eye throughout the three months that she had worked with him. He was also harsh with his words andBelongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.


    never respected her.


    Jordan had already insulted her looks and intelligence so many times that Irene had be immune and had learnt to ignore his sarcasm. David, on


    the other hand, couldn''t bear to watch him insult Irene any further and quickly began to mediate the situation,


    "Mr. Reed, I heard that Edric will soon be engaged. What should we get him for his engagement gift?”


    Irene was momentarily stunned when she heard this and looked up at David
