You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 68

Even though Loraine was the maid to the Myers family, she was so vicious to her own employer. Lily felt a chill down her spine. After the matter was over, she had hoped Loraine would just leave with the money, but Deborah disagreed. She said Loraine could still be useful, and now seemed like Deborah was right.

"You can't drive a useful person away when the job is only half done. Is this how you plan on doing things in the future? Before you officially become a member of the Myers family, Loraine can't leave. Besides, we have Loraine's son as a leverage. Since we have something to hold against her, she won't just betray us." Deborah snorted.

"Mom, you'd better think of a way to deal with Edric and Irene. What if they remarry each other? Goodness, I feel so anxious!"

"As long as you can make sure that the child is not Edric's, nothing will happen." Deborah was not too worried.

"The child is definitely not Edric's. If it were, Margaret would not have quarreled with him. She wants a child so badly. Why would she turn away Irene if that boy is indeed Edric's child?" Lily was worried about Margaret. What if she failed to hold Edric in check? "Loraine said that Margaret threatened Edric with death, but he didn't care."

"I've told you before that Edric isn't a pushover. He isn't going to let Margaret control him this time. However, we can solve this matter easily as long as the child isn't his." Deborah sneered.

"Have you come up with a solution?"

"Do you think Margaret will let Edric take care of someone else's child? She will definitely find a way to stop it," muttered Deborah.

"What can she do? Now Edric doesn't even care about whether she is alive or dead. Why would he listen to her?"

"That's because he knows that Margaret won't really take her own life. A threat like that can only be used once. Only a fool would believe the same threat over and over again." Deborah laughed evilly. "If Margaret can't convince Edric, Margaret will most likely switch her tactics and target Irene instead. When that happens, all we have to do is add fuel to the flames."

After having quarreled with Margaret, Edric was feeling equally guilty. He wandered around aimlessly and unconsciously drove his car to Irene's new home.

A familiar figure appeared not far ahead. Edric glanced over, and immediately knew who it was. He sped up and stopped in front of Irene.

Irene strode away in a hurry. Suddenly she heard someone slamming a car door. Before she knew it, someone held onto her arm.

"Irene!" A familiar voice rang in her ears.

Irene wanted to break free from his grip, but her strength was no match for Edric's.

Irate, she shouted, "Edric, let me go!"

"I have something to tell you." Edric grabbed her hand and dragged her into the car regardless of her resistance. He then locked the car doors.

"I'm not interested in anything you have to say." Irene struggled. She reached out to pull on the door, but naturally, it would not open. Edric held her hand and said in a hoarse voice, "Irene, please stay with me for a while. I'm begging you!"

Edric's voice was tinged with unspeakable sadness. Irene's body stiffened, and she subconsciously stopped resisting and turned to look at him. Edric's eyes were twinkling with despair. When she saw the sorrow in his eyes, she suddenly felt her heart break into a thousand pieces.

She thought that her heart, which had been numb for so long, would never feel any pain again. But it was hurting right now. Irene looked away and pulled her hand out of Edric's. She tried to calm himself down and asked, "What do you want to say?" Edric stared at her mutely, his gaze scorching. Irene asked again but what she received was his long sigh. "Irene, you've been living a hard life these years, haven't you?"
