You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 90

Irene was furious. Steven had been a politician for a long time, and to her surprise, even his style of communicating was similar to that of a politician. He even used one of their tricks on her, saying that he left hundreds of million worth of assets for her. If she really cared

about those, she would never have divorced Edric so easily.

What made her most angry was the fact that Steven was deceived by Deborah and Lily so easily. Steven was not a fool. The reason why he could tolerate them must be related to his career. What right did a person who disregarded family for his own future, have, to act as her father? Right then, she was completely disappointed in Steven. After returning home, Irene's face was written with dejection. Thomas asked her, concerned, "What did he meet you for?"

Irene sighed and told Thomas that Steven and Deborah asked Lily to bear Edric's child.

After she divorced Edric, she only told Thomas that Edric cheated on her, but she never included that the person he cheated on her with was Lily.

Hearing that, Thomas trembled with red fury. "The person that had an affair with Edric turned out to be Deborah's daughter? B*tch! They are all b*tches!"

He really despised them. Deborah was the one who went to seduce Steven in the past; and now, Lily turned out going after Irene's husband. The apple didn't fall far from the tree.

However, Steven was the one who enraged Thomas the most. Steven did nothing as he watched Lily take Irene's man away. Okay then, nevermind, but he even agreed to a marriage between Lily and Edric. Was there a shortage of men in the world? Why must they choose Edric?

"Uncle Thomas, don't get worked up. It's not worth it!" Irene was not vexed now in the slightest bit. Previously, she had gotten so irate that she lost all rationality and ended up beating and scolding Lily.

However, when she looked back on it, she found her behavior to be ridiculous. It took two to tango. If Edric wasn't open to it, would Lily be able to seduce him?

The most hateful thing was that he even stipulated such harsh conditions for her upon their divorce; and, he did all these for Lily. Irene must be a real fool to have misjudged him.

"Irene, you should have told me at the start. If I knew that the daughter of that b*tch was the mistress, I would try my best to pull Steven down too!" Thomas gnashed his teeth in hatred.

"Uncle Thomas, it's already in the past." Irene comforted him, "A person like Steven is not worth our time, as are his wife and daughter. Let's live a peaceful life ourselves."

"I'm only saying that because I can't accept their behaviors. How could a smart and clever person like your mother choose such a person?" Thomas sighed.

"There were so many people who chased after your mother. Steven wasn't an outstanding person at all at that time. I used to think that Steven was never a just man, but your mother said that he was more trustworthy than those rich people... Alas! If I had stopped her at that time."

"Not a just man? What happened?" Irene asked.

"One of your mother's friends asked your mother to keep several antique paintings that were worth as much as a city. Later on, those paintings were discovered to be fake." Thomas sighed.

"What does this have to do with Steven?" Irene did not understand.

"At that time, Steven was going after your mother..." Thomas did not continue.

Irene was stunned, and her heart sank. "Do you suspect that he substituted the antique paintings in secret?"
