You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 78

several people who called themselves her best friends made her rage explode like a volcano.

In the event that the engagement ceremony could not be held on time because of Edric's detainment, the angriest person was none other than Lily. No one would be happy when one's engagement was cancelled because of a joyriding incident. Besides, the calls from She let out her wrath by grabbing the scissors and cutting several pieces of her clothes. It was not until Deborah pushed the door open and yelled at her that she stopped her crazy behavior. "Mom, why am I so unlucky? Why is God doing this to me?" "Lily, calm down!" bellowed Deborah.

"How can I calm down? I've waited for him and loved him for so many years, but I could only watch him marry another woman. After enduring all these and ending up being pregnant with his child, God once again took him away from me. Now that he agreed to get engaged, he was caught in an accident at the very last minute. Why? What did I do wrong?"

Lily stared at Deborah with her bloodshot eyes. She had loved Edric whole-heartedly for many years, but he ignored her and had married Irene.

In order to get Edric, she flattered Margaret and tried every means with Deborah to stop Irene from getting pregnant.

Eventually, Lily successfully persuaded Margaret to get Edric's sperm so she could get pregnant with it. However, her ecstasy was short-lived. She started showing signs of miscarriage upon examination. The doctor said that she might lose her baby. Therefore, Deborah and Lily instead framed Irene, making her a ruthless woman who pushed Lily and caused her miscarriage.

After Irene got divorced and left Edric penniless, Lily thought that Edric would be with her because of guilt. However, she waited for three years until she finally managed to convince Edric to get engaged with her. But there it was! Another hindrance at the last moment. The severe punishment was ordered by Steven. Yet, Lily and Deborah were the ones who had to clean up the aftermath.

Margaret had called and scolded Deborah. Despite feeling miserable, the latter could only console Margaret with much patience. The more Deborah thought about it, the more irritated she became. It shouldn't be like this. How did it end up in this way? "Can you change anything by complaining and crying in your room?" Margaret stared at Lily. "Such a useless thing. You only know to cry when something goes wrong. What's wrong with you? I'm angrier than you!"

Sensing Deborah's wrath, Lily shut her mouth at once.

Deborah grumbled, "Why would a simple car racing incident get so much attention? Have you ever thought about it?"

"Wasn't Dad the one who sent Edric to the detention center?" asked Lily.

"Idiot! Do you think your father has a say in that?" Deborah poked Lily's head. "Think. With Edric's wealth and ability, how could he allow such bad news to propagate?"

"Mom, what do you mean? Do you mean that Edric deliberately let the media report about it?"

"Otherwise, would they even dare to report it without his approval? It is a piece of cake for Edric's public relations team to suppress such negative news. Why did he not cover it?" Deborah scratched her chin, pacing back and forth in the room. "Why did he do that?" Lily was puzzled.

"He doesn't want to get engaged to you at all. Thus, he let the news spread and let Steven order to punish him. Only in this way can he stay out of this matter and put the blame on us." A thought flashed across Deborah's mind.

"But the price is too high, isn't it?" Lily couldn't believe it. The loss of billions of dollars, the damage to his reputation, and the detention. No person in his right mind would do that.

"He can do anything for Irene." Deborah sneered. "The more he acts like this, the more I won't let them go. Didn't he try to plot against me? I'll make him pay back!"

Edric was released after fifteen days of detention. When he left the detention center, he let out a long sigh. In addition to John, Lily and Margaret were also waiting outside.

Seeing Edric, all of them all came up to him hurriedly and excitedly. Margaret hugged him tightly as if a decade had passed by.

Edric remained silent. He took off his coat and threw it into the car. Sitting in the car, Margaret began her nagging. "Take a bath immediately when you get home. You'd better stay at home..."

Edric didn't say a word. His mind was fully occupied by Irene. "What was she doing in the past fifteen days when I was in the detention center?" he wondered.

Although this method of getting rid of the engagement had a bad effect, it was the best solution he could think of at the moment.
