You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 163

Seeing how Margaret had closed herself off to any room for discussion, Edric slammed the door and left. Furious, Margaret panted, "You ungrateful brat, just you wait. I'll surely sue Irene! I must let you know I am your mother and I am someone whom you two can trifle with." Margaret confirmed with the lawyer that she wished to sue Irene. Soon, Irene received a letter from the lawyer. Jordan immediately hired a lawyer for her upon learning that. Margaret requested the lawyer to hand over the surveillance video to the court. The judge gathered that although Irene didn't mean to hurt Margaret, she had indeed caused serious injury to Margaret. Hence, the judge concluded that Irene should pay monetary compensation to Margaret and go for detention.

However, the judge still recommended letting them reach a consensus in private. Edric went to Margaret again. "Mom, Irene is pregnant. Even if you do not have the slightest care for her, please at least think about that unborn baby in her tummy."

Only then Margaret remembered that very fact. Irene was pregnant now, i.e. another grandson of hers was in her belly. Margaret had never wanted Irene to go to jail to begin with; she just wanted to teach her a lesson. At Edric's words, Margaret decided to find a justification for her own action. "I can let her go if you tell her to come to the hospital to kneel down and apologize to me!"

"Aren't you just being ridiculous?" Edric smiled bitterly. How could Irene kneel down and apologize to Margaret? It was impossible for him to even picture it.

"I don't care. I'm badly injured. What's wrong with me asking her to kneel and apologize? This is what she owes me. I will never give in this time. Either she apologizes to me or goes behind bars; tell her to choose one!" Margaret snarled.

Seeing that Margaret refused to compromise, Edric left the hospital with a grave frown. Margaret assumed that she had caught Irene's soft spot and could finally use that to force Irene to admit her mistake. However, she didn't expect that the result was quite different from what she had imagined.

Irene would rather bear criminal responsibility than apologize to Margaret. D*mn that Irene! How could she be so stubborn?! Margaret only wanted Irene's apology, not asking for her life!

Margaret muttered silently, "Do I really have to send Irene to jail? My grandchild is in her belly. If they learn that I forced Irene to go to jail knowing that she is pregnant, they would definitely hate me.

"

However, there was no turning back. If Margaret were to go back on her word, she must think of a way that would not embarrass herself. Edric never showed up again, and she couldn't possibly call Edric and tell him her thoughts.

Just as Margaret was caught in her own apprehension, the lawyer she had hired came to the hospital. He told Margaret that Irene's lawyer had applied for the abolishment of detention for Irene, which meant that Irene didn't need to go to jail since she was pregnant. Although Margaret didn't want Irene to go to jail, that result was still unbearably humiliating to Margaret. Her feathers were so wildly ruffled that she smashed almost everything in the ward.

Then she vented all her anger on Loraine again. Although Loraine looked docile on the outside, inwardly she was lambasting Margaret the whole time.

After a while, Margaret went to discuss a counterattack with Marie. Marie didn't expect that this matter would end so easily. Margaret was definitely irate and irked as things did not go as per her plan. All of a sudden, she thought of kidnapping Eden again.

Irene wouldn't let Eden recognize them as his father and grandmother. That was why Margaret took Eden back secretly. When Irene learned about it, she came back to San Fetillo immediately. They had an argument on the stairs and Margaret ended up falling down the stairs. You know Margaret's temper. She won't even let a small thing go. So she surely wouldn't forgive Irene. This time, they might really despise each other for their entire life! Margaret would definitely
