You Are The Pursuit of My Life

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-in-law, who was four months into her pregnancy, and caused her miscarriage!" Margaret was a master in twisting the facts. When the crowd heard what she said, they immediately glanced 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- law. 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 accepting 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 to compensate you, and the case will then be closed. Besides, she's Mr. Myers' mother and related 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 Irene'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?"
