You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 23

The door was suddenly pushed open after that. A cold voice rang out, "Mr. Smith, you are surely enjoying yourself!"

Irene recognized the familiar voice and looked at the door in a daze. Wearing a black suite, Edric stood at the door and watched everything with a cold expression.

Irene's blurred vision gradually became clear. She could see a cold smile on that familiar face. He looked at them without any emotion in his eyes.

Irene closed her eyes in agony. She would rather be r*ped than letting this man see her in such a sorry plight.

"Mr. Myers!" Randy didn't expect that Edric would drop in out of the blue. He wore an ingratiating smile on his face. "What brought you here?"

"This is my turf!" Edric said in a calm voice, "Randy, you're causing troubles in my territory. Don't you think you owe me an explanation?"

Edric was aloof by nature and never liked to meddle in other people's business. Randy had assaulted other women in front of him in the past and had never seen him intervening. Why did Edric get involved in this today? Could he know this woman? Randy instinctively glanced at Irene and asked, "Do you know her, Mr. Myers?"

"No, I don't!" Edric answered coldly.

Randy breathed a sigh of relief. "This woman didn't appreciate my kindness and dared to attack me. I have to teach her a lesson!"

"I don't care about that. Just don't make trouble on my turf!" Edric emphasized his point.

Randy recognized the hostility in his tone. As domineering as he was, he knew that Edric was not someone he could mess with. He glared at Irene and said unwillingly, "I'll spare you today. If you run into me again, I'll definitely teach you a lesson!"

Cursing and mumbling, Randy left with his two men. Edric stared deadpan at Irene, who was disheveled and miserable, and said, "Randy has already let you go. What are you still doing here?"

Without speaking, Irene tried to tidy up her clothes, but it was too torn- up to cover herself. She gave up and wiped the blood off her lips before heading out. While she was walking by Edric, she heard him speaking coldly, "It's better to have some selfawareness. You need to know what kind of a man you're seducing to avoid paying a price too high. I hope you take care!"

The lack of sympathy in his voice suddenly made Irene feel a surge of anger rising from the bottom of her heart. She slapped Edric in the face. Edric never even dreamed that Irene would hit him. He didn't dodge at all...

The slap was so hard that even Irene felt her own hand hurt. She was going to leave before Edric grabbed her hand and asked, "You want to leave after this?"

"Let go!"

Edric's face was burning with pain. He was so angry that his lips trembled. How could this ungrateful woman repay his kindness with this? Was she certain that he wouldn't do anything to her?

She thought too highly of herself. He pulled her into his arms and pinched her chin. Their eyes met. The hatred in Irene's eyes provoked Edric.

How dare she hate him! Had she no shame?

Edric pinched her even harder. Irene's chin was bruised, yet she endured the pain and wouldn't utter a sound. Nevertheless, she kept kicking his legs hard. Edric felt the pain, but he had no intention to let her go.

"Hey! What's going on here?" Jordan showed up with a grin. He was a little dizzy after drinking too much. Seeing that Irene had not come back for a long time, he was worried and hurried out to check on her. He didn't find Irene. Instead, he saw Edric standing there with a woman in his arms looking intimate. So he came to poke fun at him.
