You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 88

Margaret had never thought that Irene would come to her house and make such a huge fuss. However, the truth was that Margaret wasn't the one who kidnapped Irene's child. Nonetheless, when Irene barged into the house and started questioning her, she suddenly had an idea. At that time, Irene was furious and was convinced that Margaret was the one who kidnapped Eden. All Margaret needed to do was provoke Irene so she would do something irrational and unacceptable. Then Margaret would be able to force Edric to make a choice and get rid of Irene once and for all.

That was why Margaret didn't even care to run away; instead, she even hit Irene. Due to that, Irene almost strangled Margaret to death in a fit of anger.

Since they had such a huge fight, needless to say, Margaret would definitely not give in. However, all Edric did was to demand Irene to apologize. His protective action towards Irene infuriated Margaret.

Therefore, Margaret once again grabbed hold of Irene, attempting to force Edric to make a choice on the spot. However, she didn't expect Irene to slap her. While she was smoldering in rage, Irene and Kinsey seized the opportunity to run away.

Margaret did not lose consciousness although she indeed felt giddy. She noticed Edric's anxious and concerned expression. It seemed that Edric wasn't that cold-blooded after all; he still regarded her as a mother. Margaret already had a plan when she pretended to pass out. She decided to report Irene and remand her in order to force Édric to follow her wish. She wanted Edric to cut off any relationship with Irene and engage with Lily.

What Margaret didn't expect was that Lily had broken up with Edric. The thought that her painstaking efforts had all but gone in vain, Margaret was really dumbfounded. Her blood pressure dropped because of the shock and she ended up passing out for real.

It was already midnight. Deborah had been waiting anxiously in the living room for Lily to come back. This could only mean that things must have gone according to her plan. She was the one who ordered the kidnap of Eden.

Margaret had once used Eden to threaten Irene. If she kidnapped Eden right at that point of time, Irene would certainly suspect Margaret. Margaret was never a kind lady either; she would definitely take that opportunity to scheme something on Irene. Nevertheless, Deborah was still unsure whether her plot would develop according to her wishes. After a while, she finally heard the sound of the door opening and saw Lily. Deborah quickly went up and asked, "How was it?"

"Mom, let's talk in the room." The two went into the room and closed the door before Lily relayed the incident of the day to Deborah

Deborah gave Lily a thumbs-up and said, "Well done! You have played it well. Even if the little b*tch saw you deliberately stepping on her, she has no other way to defend her statement too. As for Margaret, did she suspect that you were the one pushing her to be slapped?"

"No, it was so chaotic at that time, so how could she have expected that I would push her to get slapped by Irene? However, I thought that Edric would slap Irene when she hit Margaret. If he did, Irene would definitely leave the house disheartened. But to my surprise, he didn't do it. It's so frustrating."

Deborah sneered, "What a son he is! Even though that woman beat Margaret, he could still maintain his composure."

"Yeah, I didn't expect he could take it either.

But Mom, I think he has reached his limit," Lily said.

When Lily accompanied Edric to send Margaret to the hospital earlier, Edric's expression was terribly cold. There was a limit to one person's tolerance. Edric could forgive Irene for making a fuss at his home, and beating Margaret, but he couldn't possibly hold it in anymore.

"Really?" Deborah sneered. "The reason why Edric could tolerate Irene's impudence wasn't only because of his love for her, but also because of his guilt. Irene has suffered so much because of him, so he wanted to make it up for her. But he has forgotten that you too have suffered a lot for him. This time, he has to make it up to you."
