You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 142

Clearly, Irene meant to point out the fact that Rowane was just one of Edric's 'customers'. Upon hearing this, Rowane's face suddenly turned red. "Irene, don't you dare cross the line!" "I'm crossing the line? I don't think so!" Irene spread her hands up, feigning an innocent look.

"I'll have you know that our relationship is purely friendship. You won't be able to point any fingers at us!" barked Rowane.

"Whether you two are truly friends or not has nothing to do with me. I'm not interested. If you don't wish to embarrass yourself, then don't use Edric as an excuse to look for me. I hate busybodies. As far as I know, you're nobody to Edric, so please don't get yourself involved in others' businesses."

"Do... Do you think I want to see that face of yours for nothing? If you hadn't hurt Edric so much, I wouldn't even dream of doing this," Rowane spat back at Irene.

"Hurt Edric?" Irene was amused when she heard these words. It was obvious that Rowane couldn't tell her a*s from her

esophagus. "I wouldn't mind if you stole Edric from me, neither would I care if you hurt him, that is of course if you're able to do so."

"Just how shameless you are. You seem to be really proud of yourself. Irene Nelson, I know exactly what sort of person you are. I hope you realize what's best for you and leave Edric immediately. Otherwise, don't blame me for embarrassing you later on," threatened Rowane.

"Embarrassing me? Miss Wood, you really make me wonder what you have on me?" Irene sneered, her eyes glimmering with conceit.

"Shouldn't you know what you did? You stole Lily's boyfriend, made her suffer a miscarriage, and continued to slander her reputation..."

Rowane cursed at Irene in one breath. "You're the cruelest and most ruthless woman I've ever seen. You're also the most pretentious person I've met. One day, I'll reveal your hypocritical face and humiliate you."

Irene broke into a fit of laughter. After hearing Rowane defended Lily, she couldn't help wondering what Lily had given Rowane in exchange.

"Miss Wood, are you mad at the fact that I possess Edric's entirety, or are you seeking

justice for Lily?" asked Irene.

Rowane was so stunned by her words that she was momentarily speechless. She had originally planned to talk to Irene politely. However, things didn't turn out that way. Irene's eyes were full of undisguised contempt and disdain. "Truthfully, there's no need for you to be mad at me, Miss Wood. Since you're still so young and charming, I'm sure Edric would dream of you if you put in more effort!" Irene chuckled.

"I'm not as shameless as you! I just can't bear to see you snatch someone else's fiance. If you like him, it's okay. Yet, you're using him for your revenge. You have a distorted personality, and you do not want to see other people happy!"

outraged that she no longer held back her words. "You're trying to say that I'm Edric's secret lover, aren't you? But, aren't you also a mistress yourself? What gives you the right to talk about me in that tone? Do you think you're a person better than me?" Irene couldn't understand what was wrong with people these days. She felt like

that she wasn't too enthusiastic about the idea, Edric proposed that they travel to see Eden. Irene did not refuse this suggestion of his, since he mentioned that it would only take a few days, plus it would just take another ten days to

to carry out her plans in the future. However, she didn't expect Rowane to take the initiative to meet Irene on her own. Although it was risky, Marie was relieved that things hadn't turned out smoothly. If they had a truthful discussion, all her previous efforts would be flushed down the drain. Seeing how pissed off Rowane looked, Marie knew that it was her shot. She comforted Rowane, "Calm down, now that we know her true character, we
