Chapter 10


    Margaret was not the least afraid when she heard that someone wanted to call the police. Instead, she raised her voice and hollered, "Who do you


    think you''re defending? Tell you what, this wretch is well known for her viciousness. She murdered someone three years ago. In order to seduce my


    son, she pushed down my daughter-inw, who was four months into her pregnancy, and caused her miscarriage!”This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.


    Margaret was a master in twisting the facts. When the crowd heard what she said, they immediately nced at Irene disdainfully and criticized


    "Who''d expect that a young girl like you could be so vicious!”


    Irene was so angry that her entire body began to quiver. She initially wanted to let things slide and leave, but after Margaret provoked her, she


    grabbed her phone and called the police.


    The police quicky arrived, but Margaret threatened arrogantly, "Do you know who my son is? He''s Edric Myers, and Mr. Cook is my in-w. Take a


    look at yourself before you mess with me!”


    As the police knew who Edric Myers and Mr.


    Cook were, they did not dare to settle the matter based on their protocol. Instead, they turned and began to persuade Irene, "It''s just a small matter.


    Why don''t you let things slide after epting some money from Madam Myers?”


    "I''ll never do that. Why should I?" Irene retorted.


    "You wouldn''t get anything out of this even if you were to sue her. You''re merely slightly injured, and the person behind the wheel was the driver. The


    worst that could happen to them would be topensate you, and the case will then be closed. Besides, she’s Mr. Myers'' mother and rted to Mr.


    Cook. There''s no way an ordinary person like you could win a fight against her."


    The police was telling the truth, which sounded unusually harsh in lrene''s ears. But she stood to her ground and was determined not to let Margaret


    off the hook.


    There was nothing the police could do. When they noticed that Irene’s hands and feet were injured, they had to send her off to the hospital first. Right


    after the doctor was done with bandaging her wounds, she heard the sound of rushed footfall. The door was quickly flung open and Edric appeared


    with his Executive Assistant, John.


    Irene was stunned to see Edric. As the doctor knew Edric, he greeted him respectfully. "Mr. Myers.”


    "Could you give us a moment? I need to have a word with her."


    The doctor nodded and quickly left. Edric looked down at Irene condescendingly and asked icily, "Say it. How much do you want from us?”


    Irene never expected him to say that from the start. She began to quiver with rage as she said, "Myers, did you think that everyone is as shameless


    as you? Did you think that we''re all money-grubbers like you?"


    "Sure, you''re so noble and virtuous, but you stillnded yourself in such a pathetic. downtrodden state." Edric sneered before he resumed, "Irene,


    you''re nothing without me!”


    Edric was the one who wanted to divorce Irene and had forced her to leave him without a penny to her name. But now, he was behaving as if she


    was the one in his debt.


    "How could he be so shameless?"


    Irene wondered and her heart began


    to ache. Aftersshe pursed her lips


    and suppressed the pain in her


    heart, she-smiled at Edric and -


    re orted,“Without you, at least LS


    could Still be Irene Nelson. Edric, you


    know what, those three with you


    was like a living hell for mesNow


    that I finally regained my‘old life, I


    could live as I please. I wouldn''t have


    to put up with your mother''s


    beatings and scolding, and neither


    do I have to tolerate you anymore.


    So why shouldn''t I be satisfied?"


    Edric''s eyes darkened dangerously and he replied, "If that’s the case, then why did youe back?"


    "My home''s in San Fetillo. I certainly don''t need your permission to return home, do I, Mr. Myers?"


    "No, it''s not necessary. But Irene, be true to your heart. Are you sure that you didn''t return because you know that I''m about to get engaged to Lily?"


    “Haha, Mr. Myers, you think too


    highly of youself. It''s miserable to


    meet a jerk Tike youandonceis ?


    enough far me. No matter how blir


    lam, Lyouldn''t subject myself toa


    revakting experience like that-again.


    Don''t worry, I shall definitelyavoid


    y6u when I see you."


    The polite way she addressed him and the cold way she looked at him made him strangely upset. He couldn''t help but wonder if the woman before


    him was still the Irene Nelson whom he had loved for five years.


    In the past, Irene would always smile at him sweetly and never sounded so harsh. She would often snuggle up in his arms. But the current Irene was


    like a hedgehog. There wasn''t an ounce of affection in her eyes when she looked at him - only resent and contempt.


    "This isn''t how things should be. She''s the one at fault. How could she be so self-righteous?” bethought.


    Containing the roiling emotions in his heart, Edric rebuked, "That''s great. Miss Nelson, I hope that you''ll keep your promise and never appear before


    me again. Don''t mess with Lily either!"


    Then, as if he was dismissing a beggar, Edric left before tossing a gold card at her viciously. As Irene stared at the gold card, she couldn''t stop her


    tears from flooding out of her eyes.
