Chapter 194

Listening to the heated argument between Irene and Edric in the living room, Lorraine smiled wryly. Judging from the situation, Edric had fallen for the lie. He believed that Irene was responsible for Margaret's condition. She anticipated how things would unfold.

The door slammed open and Irene dashed out of the living room, fuming mad as she left the house.

"How can she be so ruthless and act so indignant despite what she has done? Does she really think that I won't call the police? John, call the police immediately! I want to how she'll act this innocent!" Edric was steaming with anger. He seized a cup and smashed it on the ground as he yelled.

Fear clutched at Loraine's throat when she heard what he said. Would Edric really call the police? If he really called the police, things would become complicated. The police had become more experienced in cracking crimes. Things would turn ugly if they discovered that Deborah had come over.

Loraine panicked as the thought crossed her mind. She immediately entered the living room and squatted down to clean up the mess Edric had made as she eavesdropped on their conversation.

"Mr. Myers, please calm down! This is not the time to act recklessly!" John advised, "Although the witness says that Irene is the culprit, we have no other evidence to prove her point. Besides, I don't think Irene is such a heartless person."

John took Irene's side as usual. Although it made Loraine smolder with resentment, she hoped that John could talk even more to help her understand what Edric was thinking.

"Calm down? How can I calm down? She is not showing even the slightest bit of remorse. Look at my mother. As a son, should I just sit back and do nothing?" Edric bellowed, "I want her to go to jail! She has gone too far!"

"Miss Nelson is currently pregnant. You can't treat her like that."

"Yes, Miss Nelson is pregnant. Sending her to jail would be bad for her health," Lorraine chimed in.

"I don't care. So what if she threatens me with the child? So many women out there are willing to marry me and bear my child. Why should I tolerate her actions? You guys have seen how ruthless she is, right? There's no reason for me to go easy on her. Marrying her was a mistake!" he snapped as molten anger rolled through him.

"I understand your concern but you must think of the child. Eden is still ill. He is innocent. Miss Nelson is no longer the only person concerned here, as she is related to three other people as well." John was panicking. He was afraid that Edric would really do harm to Irene. Therefore, he mentioned Eden, hoping that Edric would gain some rationality. Although he did not know the truth, he instinctively believed Irene when he saw the anguish in her eyes. He believed without a doubt that Irene was not the culprit.

"I agree. I think Miss Nelson did not do it on purpose. She probably regrets her actions now." Loraine added, "Or maybe she still doesn't," Although she wanted to persuade Edric to give up on the notion of calling the police, she wanted him to continue blaming Irene for his mother's condition.

"So, I should just let the matter slide?" Edric slammed his fist against the table in frustration. "Impossible! I can't let this slide so easily!"
