You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 183

"Are you serious?" Margaret's face suddenly changed. Her own father had previously been seduced by her mother's best friend, hence her strong hatred for mistresses. Although she knew Deborah had been a mistress, for the sake of dealing with Irene, Margaret had kept

one eye closed to the matter. Now that this matter had been exposed by her friends, she could not play dumb anymore even if she wanted to.

"Yes I'm serious. Apparently Mr. Cook's ex-wife used to be very good to her, she even asked him to pay her a visit while he was on a business trip. Unexpectedly, that shameless creature seduced her best friend's husband and gave birth to a daughter. Anyone would break down if this happened to them, after that, Mr. Cook's ex-wife died in a car accident. From this, Deborah rose up to the official title of his wife and she even forced her stepdaughter out of the house. After that, Mr. Cook got transferred, so no one found out about this. Everyone just assumed that she had been his wife all along. Who knew that he actually had a wife before her?"

Margaret was really upset. Hadn't Irene going through the exact same fate as she did back then?

She was in the same position a long time ago. Her father's mistress had forced her to leave her life as a rich heiress behind and instead live outside alone. Luckily she had a good husband, and she didn't have a mother-in-law to bully her. She led a very sweet life after marrying Edric's father. If her husband had not fallen ill and passed away, her life would have been perfect.

However, Irene was different. She was so pitiful. Irene had fallen in love with her son, but she had broken them up. Even worse, she was going to let Deborah's daughter marry into the family. No wonder Irene was not on good terms with her. Margaret was not born wicked. Once she had this realization, she started feeling a sense of guilt.

Amanda changed the subject and started talking about Lily, "Not only is Deborah disgusting, but so is her daughter, Lily. I'm telling you, she is not as simple and kind as she looks. She is even more vicious than her mother. Her friends could tell she was fake so they stopped hanging out with her. She had no friends so she had no choice but to befriend a girl called Freya who didn't come from a good background. She says they are friends but Freya is really just a lapdog that helps her do things. Do you still remember previously when you and Edric were targeted and criticised?"

How could Margaret not remember? That was Irene's doing, wasn't it? What did Lily have to do with it?

Amanda continued, "At that time, Edric was still with his ex-wife right? Lily was feeling resentful, so she got the paparazzi to follow Edric and purposely told them to make up stories about him. She even asked Freya to hire someone to stir up trouble at Edric's ex-wife's company, and to scold her for being a mistress. After the matter was investigated, Lily pushed the blame onto Freya and let her become the scapegoat."

"Really?" Margaret had no idea that Lily was capable of something like this, and she was in complete disbelief.

"Really! I'll tell you all of this in detail. I heard that she was the one who had brought up the matters regarding Edric's ex-wife. Her purpose was to make you hate Edric's ex-wife. Luckily in the end, Edric was smart and he did that interview on TV to suppress the issue..." "Who on earth told you these things?" Margaret couldn't bear to listen any longer and interrupted her.

"Freya. In order to please her, Freya has done so many things for her, but guess what? She didn't show any mercy at all. She promised to give Freya a sum of money and a good job after she took the blame for her. Unexpectedly, both those promises have yet to be fulfilled. Freya was so angry that she exposed the truth."

"There's no credibility to her words. Maybe it's revenge."

"As the saying goes, there can be no smoke without fire. There must be some truth to it," Amanda could tell that Margaret did not believe her so she said, "Lily is not as gentle as you think. She is simply a shrew. I saw her swearing at a nurse in the hospital that day, that look she had on her face? Tut tut..."

Indeed, there would be no smoke without fire. Lily wasn't

Hence, they did not go easy on Freya at all and they insisted on her receiving the maximum punishment. The sentence of imprisonment she received was completely beyond Freya's expectations. Lily had asked someone to pass on a message to her, telling her to not be afraid. She had promised to help and get her out before the three

them. Deborah did not break her promise, and in order to keep her mouth shut, she sent her a sum of money. She also helped to arrange jobs for Freya's family and even took care of her boyfriend for a while. Naturally, Deborah had kept the matter quiet.

Freya had endured through so much just because of the potential benefits. She had been with Lily for so many years, and she had suffered too many losses.

However, she was not sensible and still regarded herself as someone powerful because she knew Lily. When she saw someone talking about her, she would talk back about them. In time, she had managed to offend everyone in the office. No one in the office liked her and they all began to alienate her. Even her supervisors went out of their way to avoid her. Her job was not going well, and she also began having relationship problems. Her boyfriend had been seeing another woman behind her back. Freya was having problems
