You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 59

Lily took the slap without dodging. A bright red weal sprang up on her fair cheek.

A woman happened to come to the restroom and saw Irene slapped Lily. Lily was the daughter of the Secretary and Edric's girlfriend. Irene was just a nobody.

How dare she slapped the Secretary's daughter? The woman shouted out immediately. Lily began to cover her face and cry when she saw the audience.

Someone spread the news to the party right away. Edric heard the commotion. He put out the cigarette and came back from the garden. A group of people were gathering in the hallway. He immediately saw Irene surrounded in the middle. He strove over, his heart tightened. Lily threw herself into Edric's arms as if he was her savior. She cried even more pitifully.

Edric helped her stand straight and asked, "What happened?"

Lily only cried and didn't answer. The woman who watched the scene replied, "I don't know what happened either. I came to the bathroom and saw this woman cursed and slapped Miss Cook."

"That's outrageous? How can she do this?" People who knew Lily started to protest on her behalf at once.

"Exactly. How can she be so ill-mannered? How can she slap people on such an occasion?"

A mocking smile crept on Irene's face. It turned out that Lily had planned all of these. She deliberately provoked Irene so everyone would condemn Irene for attacking Lily. Irene had to admit that Lily came up with a good plan.

There were always troublemakers who were eager to fan the flames. Someone else stood up for Lily and said, "Miss, you must apologize to Miss Cook!"

"Apologize?" Irene sneered, "Why don't you ask her why I slapped her?"

"No matter what happened, it's wrong to hit someone."

"It's not your turn to speak here," Irene snapped back. Her arrogance only made people angrier. "How can you act like this? Apologize! Apologize quickly!"

Irene turned a blind eye to the condemnation from the crowd. She fixed her eyes on Edric and Lily and said, "Miss Cook, are you sure you want me to apologize?"

Lily cried without speaking. She and Deborah were well aware of Irene's high self-esteem. They knew that she would rather endure the humiliation and pain than show her weakness in front of other people.

That was why Irene left the family without asking for any explanation after knowing that Lily was pregnant with Edric's child. She suppressed the news of Edric's betrayal as well as her own pain. Deborah said Irene was just like her mother.

Such a person would never tell the truth about what happened in the past. That was why Lily dared to goad Irene on to attack her in the first place.
