You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 185

The only way that Deborah could think of in order to shut Freya up was to not let Freya go out. She had issues dealing with Kinsey, but managing Freya would not be too much of a hassle. She called Logan to settle the matter immediately.

Logan called his men to break Freya's legs. Edric knew instantly when Freya was admitted into the hospital. Although Freya did not have a good character, there was no need to hurt her to the brink of death. Naturally, Edric thought that it was Lily and her mother's doing. It seemed that this mother-daughter duo was not alone and had gotten help from someone else. So, the plan now was to identify who had helped them.

Edric ordered John to investigate this matter carefully. His task was to find out who was the accomplice working with Deborah and her daughter.

Deborah grew up in the Cat Alley and was friends with the Cat Alley gangsters. It was rather likely that this gang was also from the Cat Alley.

John began to scrutinize gangsters around the Cat Alley and investigated those that were particularly on good terms with Deborah. This discovery had an unexpected gain. He had stumbled upon Bert, who was the one who had laid his hands on Irene during the match- making television program.

Bert had committed plenty of crimes previously, and he was wanted by the police. He had stayed hidden for a long time, like a stray dog without a peaceful home. Dunn, who had initially hired him to do some work, had already gone abroad. He had spent most of his money and had no choice but to hide in a dangerous place. So, he sneaked back to Cat Alley and decided to hide for some time while finding a solution.

However, his luck was really rotten to be discovered by John. Although Bert was dressed in a cassock with unkempt hair and a dirty face, John still recognized him. His efforts were not in vain, indeed. John was exhilarated and immediately got his men to catch Bert. John quickly brought Bert to Edric. Without a doubt, Edric treated Bert coldly and instructed his men to teach him a lesson as he interrogated him about his actions on Irene.

Bert was just a pawn used to hurt Irene, but he did not know who was behind the instructions. After numerous beatings, he finally confessed that Dunn had played a part.

Since Dunn had migrated abroad, it wouldn't be easy to search for him. Edric sent Bert to the police station for the police to file a case against Dunn.

Although Bert did not know who the real mastermind behind the scenes was, Edric guessed that the person was Deborah. He despised Deborah and her daughter to the very core of his heart. He had to make them pay for what they had done. Margaret had asked Marie to verify whether the rumor about Lily, but of course Marie was not the right person for the job. After a few days, there were no updates from Marie, but Amanda had come to visit her.

Amanda told her that she saw Edric being friendly with a girl named Thea Luther recently and asked her about that girl's background.

Margaret wasn't aware of her son's activities and thought, "Did my son decide to look for a new woman? That's impossible."

Not to mention that her son held deep affection for Irene, and Eden was also sick. How could her son have the heart to find another woman?

Amanda also told Margaret that Thea and Lily's former good friend, Freya was involved in a fight. She implied to Margaret that Thea was probably the person who had spread the rumors about Lily.
