Revenge Against My Ex-husband

Finishing her sentence, Kinsey left, leaving only the sound of her high heels click-clacking. She got in the car and started the engine. In the rearview mirror, she saw Joanne remaining still in place and staring in her direction. Kinsey snorted inwardly. Everyone's sweetheart? She was nothing but a show-off. It was Irene who did not fight with others. It was also her bad luck to have bumped into Joanne. Kinsey started the car and drove away, humming. On the way, she pondered a while before calling Jordan, "Your fiancé was at the entrance of the TV station and she stopped me. She didn't want me to have any ulterior motives towards you."

"Really?" Jordan laughed. Joanne had gone to look for Kinsey? With Kinsey's temper, Joanne must have been devastated. He was very interested in what Kinsey had done to Joanne, so he asked, "How did you deal with her?"

"What are you talking about? I was so terrified of her, that I burst into tears on the spot. I'm immediately calling you right after to complain," Kinsey acted pitifully.

"Humph! Are you the kind of person who would be so easily terrified?" Jordan wasn't convinced at all.

"Haha, you don't believe me? Who am I kidding? I wouldn't believe myself either. I just told her that I like how handsome you are. She got so angry that she grew dumbfounded. You should've seen her. She was probably surprised by my boldness."

After hanging up the phone, Jordan frowned. Joanne really was not someone who would change her character so easily. It seems that he could not let her stay any longer. He had to send her back." After thinking about it, Jordan called Nathan and told him about Joanne's situation. He wanted Nathan to find a way and send Joanne back.

After hearing the news, Nathan was also horrified and told Old Mrs. White immediately. She was outraged, she knew that this granddaughter of hers was not easy to deal with, but she did not expect her to be so troublesome. She immediately called Joanne and asked her to return quickly.

Joanne did not dare to disobey Old Mrs. White's request, so she had no choice but to pack up and go back to Mencodia.

After seeing Irene, Edric went home in confusion. He went and got the security footage of that night and watched it again. Lily was wearing a skirt that day. When she helped him upstairs, she did not bring anything along with her. When she came out, she was empty-handed too. In that case, how was his sperm stolen?

Edric was afraid that he had missed something, so he took the security footage to the company and checked it with his Technology Department staff. The staff also verified that Lily came out empty-handed. How on earth did Lily get pregnant with the child? Edric couldn't figure it out.

However, Edric thoroughly understood that the reason why Lily was trying so hard to have relations with him was not that because she loved him but that he had hundreds of millions of property. Edric sneered. Lily, who only wanted his family property, had made a fatal mistake. He would not give her a penny of his family's property.

In order to eliminate any hope of her getting anything, he would leave all the property under his name to Eden, Irene, and the baby in Irene's belly. He wanted to see if Lily would still pester him if he were a broke man.

Edric was a man of his word, and he immediately called a lawyer to draft the documents needed to transfer his property. Margaret soon caught wind of this matter. She immediately called Edric to come home, but Edric ignored her. Margaret didn't favor Loraine very much during this period, so she asked the guards to send her to the company instead.

Seeing Edric, Margaret got teary-eyed and began to question, "What on earth are you doing, giving all your property to others without my permission?"

"Do I need to have your permission to give my children my property?" Edric asked.

"They're still so young. If you give them your property, they won't be able to manage it." Margaret reasoned with Edric.

"Aren't I in charge? As long as I'm here, what are you afraid of?" Edric stood his ground.

"That won't work either. If that woman, Irene, does something and steals your shares, what will you do?" Margaret tried to plant some doubts into Edric. "I don't know whether Irene will play tricks on me or not, but I know why you are so agitated. Don't worry, as I won't touch your shares," Edric sneered.

"Are you kidding me? I'm not doing this for the property. Isn't all my property yours anyway?" Margaret got mad at his words.

"I wouldn't dare to take your property. If I could, I would rather be born into another family. At least I wouldn't feel the pain of being tricked by my own mother."

"What did I do to you?" Margaret was getting a little guilty. What did Edric mean? Did he know something? Thinking that Lily wouldn't be so stupid as to tell her son the truth about the pregnancy at this time, she got confident enough and refuted his bravado.

"I'm asking you now, how did Lily get pregnant with that child?" Edric was angry when he saw that his mother still wanted to be perfunctory.

"You know all of that now? Lily is pregnant not because you got drunk with her, but..." Margaret had planned to tell Edric about Lily's pregnancy for a while, but she didn't expect Edric to know about it in advance. Since that was the case, she wanted to pretend to not know, just to see what her son would do.

"I got drunk? Do you still want to deny it now?" Edric interrupted Margaret. He had no words for Margaret anymore.

"Let me ask you, what did you and Marie want to achieve by sitting in the living room and letting Lily in my room?"

"I..." Margaret now knew that she couldn't deny it any longer. "If you had listened to me and hadn't insisted on dating Irene, would I have done this?"

"What have I done to deserve a mother like you? Everything I have ever loved, you've destroyed. And everything I've hated, you do your best to stuff it to me. Are you even my mother?" Edric was furious at Margaret.

"It's my fault for letting that happen, but Lily is pregnant now, and the boat has already sailed. Don't complain anymore. Just listen to me and marry Lily!" Margaret pleaded.

"In your dreams!" Edric mocked. "I'm not afraid to tell you that the idea of Lily and I getting married is nothing but a fantasy in your head! I won't marry such a disgusting woman even if I had to die. Give it up." "This has nothing to do with Lily. It's all my scheming." Margaret put in a good word for Lily. "Lily doesn't want to do this either. It's me who begged her." Margaret cried out.

"A lie can only last for so long, but it can't deceive everyone forever. I know what kind of person Lily, clearer than you. I advise you to open your eyes. You'll regret it if you don't," Edric claimed.

"Edric, it's all my fault. It's understandable that you're angry with me, but you have to think of Lily too. She's pregnant with your child." Margaret begged.

"My child? Do you think that I will let such a disgusting woman give birth to my child?" Edric refuted. "Mark my words, that child in Lily's belly, I will find a way to get rid of it."

"How dare you!" Margaret was anxious. "Whoever dares to hurt my grandson, I'll fight to the death with him!"

"You can give it a try!" Edric didn't buy her words at all.

Margaret went home in a fit of rage. It seemed that this matter was brought to a standstill as of now. Edric was furious now. Thus, he might resort to some extreme measures. She had to hide Lily first. Only once he had calmed down would she then bring it up once more.

Lily was not staying idle either. After hearing Joanne say that she would reveal the news to Irene, she had been waiting for Irene and Edric to argue. However, there was no sign of someone coming at all, and Irene's life seemed to go on as usual.

On the other side, Joanne had gone back to Mencodia. Steven had warned Lily to not to go out if it was not necessary. He also notified her that Edric might hurt her and stop her pregnancy.

Lily didn't expect that Edric's reaction would be so strong, so she had to turn her sights towards Margaret for help. Unexpectedly, Margaret called her at that time and informed her to be careful, which was the same as Steven's advice.

Lily was scared. She didn't expect that Edric would ignore Margaret's orders. Without the last line of defense, she could not escape.

"No, I can't keep on being like this," Lily thought to herself. Edric had already found out about the truth anyways. Since Steven had not found out who leaked it, she did not have to worry about Steven's punishment. Lily then decided to see Irene.

Irene took Eden outside for a walk. A woman, who was hiding her face with a pair of sunglasses and a hat, came over to her and Eden. When she walked in front of Eden, the woman suddenly stopped her and called her. Irene realized that the woman was Lily.

Irene glared at Lily, "Miss Cook, why are you blocking my way?"

"I have something to discuss with you. Let's go somewhere private to talk." Lily said furtively.

"I don't have the time," Irene immediately rejected Lily's suggestion.

"Irene, I'm pregnant! Please help me! I'm really at my wits' end!" Lily pleaded in a quiet voice.

Irene looked at Lily's expression and felt only disgust, "What does you being pregnant have to do with me? Miss Cook must've gotten the wrong person."

"I know you hate me intensely, but that time I really was framed by Rowane. That woman was too vicious. I had planned to go to the hospital to stop the pregnancy, but the doctor had said something was wrong with my body. If I did it, I would never have another child in my life," Lily handed Irene a report. "Look, this is the proof from the doctor's."

Irene did not take it. Instead, she just looked at her coldly, "What does this have to do with me? I'm not the one who is stopping your pregnancy."

"But Edric won't allow me to keep this child. Irene, could you help persuade Edric?" Lily wiped her tears. "It's not just a single baby in my belly. They're twins. They are Edric's children. Isn't Eden sick? Maybe there will be a time when they would be useful in the future."

"I'm amazed that Miss Cook is so kind. But I will take care of my own child's illness by myself. You, as an outsider, don't need to worry about it."

"Irene, I beg you. Please let me give birth to my children. Don't worry. I will be far away from you and Edric. What you are worried about will never happen!" Lily knelt in front of Irene.

"Miss Cook, stop acting. I'm not a fool. I know enough not to trust a wolf in sheep's clothing. Besides, what happened between you and Edric has nothing to do with me. You've really gotten the wrong person!" "Irene, how can you be so cruel? No matter what, the blood flowing in my veins is the same as yours. No matter what, you are also a mother with a child. How can you be so cruel?" Lily saw that Irene refused to help her, so she stood up angrily.

Irene had long known that Lily was nothing but a devious person, yet she was still enraged, "Miss Cook, you've come to the wrong place to seek for kindness. When you had decided to plot against Edric, you should have thought of what would happen today. I don't understand. How can you still come to me after what you've done?"

"Irene, I admit it. I'm shameless, but you're not much better than me. On the one hand, you said that you had nothing to do with Edric, and on the other, you've strung him along with a child. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be separated. And you know better than me how you got that baby in your belly."

Lily never expected that Irene would sympathize with her when she came to Irene. Since Irene did not hold back when they met, she failed to see the point of acting anymore.

"You are not much better than me. At least I didn't covet a married man. You and your mother, Deborah, are a couple of freaks. Both of you are so disgusting, scheming to steal men away from others," Irene was furious.

Although they were both pregnant, Edric had treated Irene like a treasure while he treated Lily as dust. Even though Deborah had instructed Lily to not harm Irene's baby, yet there was no one around now. If she pushed Irene and made her infertile, just like what happened that year, what would Edric do?

Lily thought of this and immediately glanced at the car behind her from the corner of her eye. When she saw Tommy was in the car recording her and Irene, she was relieved and immediately attacked Irene viciously.
