You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 98

Edric stood at the door with a grim expression. He had received a call from Lily informing that Margaret had gone to Irene. Although Margaret had a bad temper, Irene was no pushover either.

He had been worried that a clash would happen between them. Thus, he rushed over immediately. However, Edric heard Margaret begging Irene at the door, to which Irene had asked Margaret if Edric was an animal. At that, Edric became hot under the collar. "Why are you here?" Margaret was startled by Edric's arrival. Edric did not answer her. Instead, he fixed his eyes on Irene steadily for a while before extending his hand. "Miss Nelson, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Edric, and I'm not an animal you think I am." Irene turned a blind eye to his outstretched hand. "Mrs. Myers, I have nothing to say to you. I hope you will never again engage in such childish behavior. Don't call me on the phone and don't look for me at my workplace."

With that, she turned to leave without even glancing at Edric. However, he grabbed her hand. "Wait a minute!"

Restrained, Irene stopped in her tracks. "Sir, please behave yourself!"

Edric's tone was cold when he spoke to her, "Miss Nelson, don't you think it's a bit rude to talk to an elder like that? Apologize now!"

"An elder?" Irene laughed mockingly. "Who's this elder you're talking about?"

"Although we are divorced, there's no denying that you once called her 'Mom', right?" Edric continued.

Irene sneered at his remark. "My memory isn't too good. Hence, it's hard for me to remember people and things that don't matter. For some reason, I can't seem to recall what you are talking about! Also, if I remember correctly, my mother died a long time ago." "Since you don't remember, I'll help you with that. Now, apologize!" Edric persisted.

"If I don't, what can you do about it?" Irene scorned. "Edric, remember, once upon a time, I apologized to her because you were my husband. But who are you to me now? What makes you think you can force me to apologize to a stranger?" "Because I was once your husband!" Edric bellowed.

"Wow! Mr. Myers, that's rich coming from you!" Suddenly, the door flung open, and Jordan trod into the room sullenly.

Edric was taken aback by Jordan's sudden appearance. What was Jordan doing there?

Although Jordan had suspected that there was something strange going on between Irene and Edric, he never thought that Edric was Irene's ex-husband. This was because Lily was Edric's current fiancee.

Jordan had speculated that the sisters might have fallen in love with the same man. However, as a politician, Steven would never allow both of his daughters to be entangled with Edric.

Worst of it all, Irene was left with nothing after being divorced by Edric. Since Edric did not seem to be so vile and revolting, Jordan had never expected that it was him.

However on that day, after he noticed Margaret had come to visit Irene, he realized something was amiss. Why would Margaret look for Irene? Feeling strange, Jordan followed Margaret.

He couldn't be bothered to eavesdrop; therefore, he sat downstairs in his car and waited. He thought of asking Irene what was going on after she was

Edric Myers, I'll teach you a lesson today!" After being punched twice in a row, Edric finally reacted. He started to retaliate and fight with Jordan. Watching the brawl, Margaret screamed in terror. Completely disregarding their dignity, they traded blows with each other. Soon, they began to wrestle on the ground. Irene was initially stunned by the sudden situation too. Therefore, it took quite some time for her to come to her senses. The two men on the ground were assaulting each other, and Jordan clearly had the lower hand.
