Chapter 138

Lily's blushing face instantly turned as pale as snow. Edric sneered and stated, "Tomorrow, I will go to the Cook family and tell Mr. Cook and Mrs. Cook about our affairs in person."

John held on to Edric and they headed out to the car outside. John quickly started the car while Edric undid the button on his collar and ordered John to turn on the air conditioning. But it didn't lessen the heat in his chest.

When he came back to celebrate Margaret's birthday, he hadn't intended to stay overnight. Before he came, he told John that he must come pick him up at night. It wasn't because he was afraid Margaret would play tricks on him, but rather he was worried about leaving Irene at home alone.

He hadn't expected Margaret would have such a plan. At the dinner earlier, she made him drink even though she knew he had gastritis. It was clear she was up to something.

But he was not worried. He knew John would be coming to get him; hence, he played along with Margaret. After drinking the hangover soup Margaret brought to him, his chest started feeling really hot. Instinctively he knew something was amiss.

Therefore, he got up from the bed. When he came out and saw Margaret stopping John as well as seeing Lily on the couch, Edric immediately understood what Margaret was thinking of. Even a fool would figure it out at that point.

He was truly disappointed; most importantly, he was all the more disgusted with Lily. She herself had said that she had been forced to become a surrogate in order to pay off her parents' debt. She claimed she had done it for Irene's happiness! But why was she doing all this now?! She was clearly aware that he loved Irene, yet she was willing to do something so despicable. It said a lot about her.

The car soon stopped in front of Chandelle Valley. John helped Edric quickly into the villa. Irene heard the noise and came out of her room. When she saw how flushed Edric's face was, she was shocked, asking, "What's wrong?"

"Mr. Myers will do the explaining to you. I'll take my leave first!" John said and left immediately.

Irene reached out her hand to hold Edric. "Did you drink a lot?"

"Irene, I miss you!" Edric reached out and hugged her narrow and supple waist. He kissed Irene's lips fiercely and tore at her clothes hastily.

Irene's mouth was covered so she couldn't make a sound. She reached out to push him away but with Edric's stature, she was helpless. He swiftly stripped her naked and pushed her down onto the sofa.

He groped at her bosom; there was no escaping his desire that night.

After John had taken Edric away, Lily stood still with her face drained of color. Not only had their plan failed, but she had also embarrassed herself.
