You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 74

Irene was irked to see Edric. Without waiting for him to speak, she shouted, "Mr. Myers, what exactly do you want?" "Irene!"

"Do you know that it's very annoying for you to show up here every day? Do you know that I almost lost Eden because of you pestering me so brazenly?" Irene questioned. "Irene, Eden's matter is an accident..." Edric trailed off.

"An accident? Who told you that it was an accident? Edric, I'm telling you that it's all Margaret's planning. It was Margaret who hired a hitman to take Eden away as she wanted to threaten me!" Irene yelled. "Margaret did it? How could it be possible?" Edric asked.

"Why is it impossible? She has threatened me several times. Is there anything that a vicious person like her can't do?" Irene's voice was increasing in a crescendo.

"If it's really Margaret who did it, I will definitely straighten things out for you," Edric promised.

"I don't need you to straighten things out for me. Edric, please, please let go of Eden and me. I can't afford to mess with you. I really can't afford to mess with you and your family. Please give me a chance to live peacefully!" Irene begged.

Edric was so dejected when he saw Irene's agitated expression. He did not believe that his mother, Margaret, would do such a thing. But, it also dawned on him that Irene had no enmity with the others. Who else would treat her and Eden like this? Edric drove home instantly. He wanted to confront Margaret face-to-face if it was her who did it.

But why would Margaret admit to it? She said that Irene was talking nonsense and they both ended up having a big fight.

In the end, Edric strode away from the house furiously.

Margaret sat in the living room, rubbing her chest in anger. It was all Irene's fault. It was Irene who drove a wedge between her and Edric over and over again. Margaret couldn't take it any longer and ordered the driver to fetch her to Irene's residence. At her residence downstairs, she made a phone call to Irene. "Come down now. I want to ask you something!"

A few minutes later, Irene appeared in front of Margaret's car. Margaret didn't beat around the bush and cursed at Irene straight away, "Irene, what a great job you've done. You actually provoked Edric to pick a quarrel with me!"

"I provoke Edric to pick a quarrel with you? Ask yourself, have you done anything illegal?" Irene sneered. "As a mother, how could you be so vicious and brazen? Are you still a human?"

"You are the one who forced me to use such a tactic. If you hadn't pestered Edric, would I have done so?" Margaret retorted.

Margaret actually admitted it. Irene was so pissed that her entire being started to quiver. She questioned, "How can you be so heartless? What's the difference between you and a beast if you do this? You are such a despicable person!" Margaret stood there fuming as Irene lectured her. "Irene, you brought all this upon yourself. This is just the beginning. If you're still incorrigibly stubborn, don't blame me for not warning you," she hissed.

"What do you want to do? What exactly do you want?" Irene asked.

"My request is simple. Stay away from Edric and don't ruin his engagement with Lily,"

Margaret answered.

"Never did I ever come close to Edric!" bellowed Irene.

"If you are not interested in Edric, then you should accept my terms and leave San Fetillo. You have left San Fetillo before, so why did you return?"

"I won't accept your terms. You'd better give up!" Margaret crossed her arms in front of her chest.

with her. After all, Irene had a leverage; Eden was her soft spot. Hence, she couldn't take the chance to fight with people like Margaret because of Edric.

Irene looked at Jordan in a daze. When she was at her most helpless state, it was him who had given her comfort and strength. Irene, who found herself vulnerable for so many years, could really feel a sense of security in his arms. But could he really be her source of comfort?
