Chapter 99

Jordan continued to fume, "Don't let Edric off the hook either. Doesn't he love to cheat? You should return the favor and find countless women to seduce him, so Lily can experience the same pain you had back then."

Irene was stupefied. Jordan's suggestion... was a good one! If she could find a woman to seduce Edric and steal his sperm... Suddenly, she stepped on the brakes. "Jordan, will you do me a favor?" "What favor do you need?"

After Irene told him her plan to steal the sperm, Jordan was in disbelief. "Do you really want another child with Edric?"

"I'm not doing this to have another child with Edric, but for Eden. The doctor said the chances of getting a suitable bone marrow donor is low. I don't want anything to happen to Eden, so..."

Jordan was silent for a while. "I don't think having a child is a problem. It's just the thought of you getting entangled with a scum like Edric again doesn't sit well with me."

"I'm not trying to get entangled with him. I'm doing this for Eden," Irene reiterated.

"I know!" Jordan sighed deeply. No wonder the world claimed that a mother's love for her child was the greatest love. Although Irene hated Edric to the core, she was willing to go to such lengths for Eden's sake. Hence, he shouldn't stand by and watch, no matter what. "Irene, I have a way to steal Edric's sperm. A man who cheats within marriage is definitely unclean. When the time comes, we'll find a beautiful woman to seduce Edric and steal his sperm."

"But will he take the bait?" Irene was still a little worried.

"Leave it to me!" Jordan was full of confidence.

Meanwhile, after Jordan and Irene left, Edric collapsed onto the chair in a crumpled heap. Margaret saw that the corner of his mouth was bleeding. Feeling sorry, she came to wipe it for him, but Edric pushed her away. "Mom, would you give it a rest?" he hissed.

"Edric, I didn't have any other intentions. I only wanted to apologize to her and set the record straight about what happened in the past. I was the one who forced you to divorce her back then. She should hate me instead of giving you a hard time," answered Margaret. "Giving me a hard time?" Edric looked over at Margaret. "How is she giving me a hard time?" "The sports tournament would be in our hands if she didn't stir things up..."

"Mom, that project is fair game. Even Steven can't do anything about it," Edric told Margaret about the details. "It's not up to anyone to decide this matter; it's all about the design work now."

"Why didn't you say so?" Margaret grumbled angrily. "If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have to be humiliated by her!"

"Don't ever get involved in my business again. Whether it's a company or a personal matter, please stay out of it!" Having said that, Edric left the cafe.

As he returned to the office with a bruised mouth, John jumped in shock when he saw Edric. "Mr. Myers, what happened?"

"I got into a fight!" Edric sat down grouchily.
