Revenge Against My Ex-husband

"Irene is vicious? Mom, if she was, she wouldn't have tolerated so much bullying from you. If she was so cruel, would she have moved out with nothing to her name? Would she have endured a mistress and ar illegitimate daughter taking her place? Mom, use your brain. The truth is right in front of you, so why can't you tell who's the evil person here?"

"How dare you speak to me that way?" Margaret was so angry that she grabbed the teacup in front of her and threw it on the ground.

Edric looked at her coldly, "I'm not scolding you. I just want you to face the truth. Since you're so free nowadays, you'd better take the time to think about it. Perhaps the person you think is evil is actually a good person, and vice versa."

"I have my own eyes, and I can tell for myself. I don't need your advice!" Margaret shouted at her son.

"I had hoped for that, but let me remind you. Don't hold too much hope for the children in Lily's stomach, I don't want you to end up even more disappointed!" Edric reminded her.

"What do you mean? Do you plan to get rid of the babies in Lily's belly?" Margaret straightened her neck and shouted, "You unfilial son! If you dare touch the babies in Lily's belly, I'll kill you!"

Edric frowned, "I won't touch them. If she wants to give birth, that's up to her, just make sure that she doesn't regret doing so."

Seeing Edric admit he wouldn't touch Lily's babies, Margaret was so happy that she had no time to care about her son's unreasonable behavior just now.

Although Irene had said that there was no need to hire bodyguards, Kinsey and Jordan were still worried about her safety. They both hated Lily. The only reason Lily could act this way was because Lily was pregnant with Edric's children. Plus, she was good at putting on an act in front of Margaret, so Margaret always supported her without any hesitation. Jordan would love to see how brazen she could be without Margaret's support. He frowned as a plan began to form in his head.

He had to find a way to let Margaret see that Lily wasn't as obedient and kind as she seemed. As long as Margaret disliked Lily, Lily would never dare to act so boldly.

Since Lily was still in the hospital recuperating, Jordan bribed the nurse and asked her to purposely provoke Lily to make her angry.

Lily was always kind and considerate in front of Margaret, but she did not need to pretend in the hospital. Since she was already in a bad mood, she would naturally vent her anger out.

So, Lily had scolded the nurse harshly in the ward. The video of her cursing was sent to Margaret, who stared at Lily in the video for a long time before returning to her senses.

Was this the same Lily who was always so gentle and obedient in front of her? Margaret herself was no push over. When it came to making a scene, she was very experienced herself. However, she was not one to spout foul language. Lily, on the other hand, was a completely different story.

She had learned a lot of swear words from Cat Alley since she was a child. Although Deborah had sent her to a disciplinary school to change her attitude, that only changed her physical appearance. Inside, she was still the same timid Lily from Cat Alley.

Her gentleness, kindness, and generosity were only aimed at the noble ladies and daughters of the upper class. She saw no need to be polite to the people who were below her.

For Lily, the nurse was someone who had no power, yet she dared to provoke her. Lily was not courteous to her at all, and she showed her real personality. A lady and a shrew, one kind, one vicious. These two extremes of Lily's personalities made Margaret dumbfounded.

Margaret was not a fool. She suddenly realized that Lily might have been pretending this entire time, and that she actually was not the gentle and kind person she knew after all.

Being aware of this, Margaret began to feel uncomfortable. However, Lily still had her two grandsons in her belly, so no matter how uncomfortable she was with her, she would wait until after Lily gave birth to think about it.

Marie decided to go to find Thomas for Lily's sake. Thomas was now living in Jordan's villa, and she did not have Thomas' phone number. It would not be easy for her to meet him. In the end, Marie decided to wait for a few days near Jordan's villa. Finally, one day while he was on his way out to run errands, Marie blocked his way and said, "Thomas, I have something to tell you."

"Didn't you say that we have nothing to do with each other anymore?" As soon as he saw Marie, Thomas realized that what he had feared was coming true. Marie was not a trustworthy person at all. "We share the same blood after all, so we're siblings. How could we not have anything to do with each other?" Marie said with a smile.

Thomas looked at her disgustedly, "Why don't you cut to the chase?"

"It's not convenient for us to talk here. Let's find a place to sit down and talk," Marie pointed to the tea room next to her and said, "Let's talk there."

Thomas knew that he could not avoid this, so he followed her into the tea room silently.

"Thomas, what do you want to drink? Earl grey or english breakfast?"

Thomas sneered, "Just tell me what you want, I still have errands to run."

Marie took no notice of his annoyance. She ordered a cup of earl grey tea for him, "I wouldn't be here if I had a choice. I've come to you because of Irene. Can you take her away?"

"Is Irene getting in your way?"

"It's not that she's in my way. It's because I'm worried about her safety," Marie pretended to be innocent. "You know what kind of person Deborah is. Now that Irene is blocking her daughter's bright future, I'm worried that she'll do something to Irene."

"Why are you being so kind?" Thomas knew that Marie wasn't being genuine, she had to have some kind of ulterior motive.

"I'm really just trying to be nice. Anyway, Irene is my niece. I can't bear to see her in danger. Thomas, just listen to me and take Irene and the child away."

"You think I don't want to? I had wanted to move abroad with Irene, and I'd even handled all the visas. However, there was an unexpected issue. If Margaret hadn't sued Irene, Irene would not be restricted to leave the country now," Thomas sighed, "Now we have to wait for a year."

Marie had not expected this. If she had known that there would be this much trouble, she would have stopped Margaret from suing Irene earlier. Now, it was too late. However, she was still unwilling to accept it "Thomas, have you ever thought about bringing Irene somewhere else, just so she can hide from Deborah for a while?"

"Are you that vicious that you can't even wait a year?" Thomas glared at Marie, "I know how you are. Talking about Deborah being after Irene, as if you don't want her gone too? If not for you, would Margaret hate Irene so much? To tell you the truth, I want to take Irene away because I don't want to be entangled with you. Don't push my limits. If you piss me off, I will take everyone down with you!"

Thomas had always been gentle and kind. He had never been so fierce. Marie was shocked and did not dare push his buttons any further.

After leaving Thomas, Marie went home. On the way back, she received a phone call from Deborah, "I have some good news. Edric doesn't intend to do anything to Lily's babies." "Really?" Marie was very happy to hear that, but she still could not believe it, "Are you sure you aren't mistaken?"

"I'm not. Margaret was the one who called me. Tell Lily to not worry and take good care of herself," Deborah couldn't hide her joy. "Maybe Edric has finally thought it through. After all, Lily is pregnant with twins. Many people dream of having twins."

Marie could not figure out why Edric would suddenly change his mind. However, it was a good thing that he did so. Lily did not have to be so afraid anymore, although Irene still remained an issue. Kinsey had nothing to do at the TV station today so she went home earlier than usual. Not far from the villa, she suddenly saw Thomas walking in front, followed by Marie. The two of them entered the tea room, one after another. Kinsey was shocked. Why were the two of them meeting up for?

Kinsey wasn't the type to be able to keep quiet. As soon as she returned home, she told Irene about what she saw. Irene did not believe her and said that she must be mistaken. Kinsey was adamant that she was right so she brought Irene to the tea room to wait for them. After a while, they saw Marie and Thomas coming out.

Irene had no choice but to believe what Kinsey had said. Why were Marie and Thomas meeting up?

Deborah didn't dare touch Irene for beating Lily up, but she did not feel the same way towards Kinsey. Kinsey had beaten up her daughter so badly, so no matter what, she had to return the favor. Deborah also knew that things were getting heated. If she did anything to Kinsey, it might bring about unnecessary trouble, so she had to find a suitable opportunity to carry out her plan smoothly. Deborah took time out to visit the beauty salon. When Heather saw her, she immediately called Logan over. Logan was also very excited to see Deborah. He came up to hug her and kissed her, "Why haven't you come to see me in such a long time? I miss you so much."

Deborah pushed him away, "We need to talk."

"What's the matter?" Logan did not intend to let go of her as he held onto her hands.

"Dumba*s, are you trying to die?" Deborah was angry and pushed Logan away, "Your daughter has been beaten half to death. How can you still be in the mood to have fun?"

"Who dared to touch Lily?" Logan acted anxious on the surface, but he really was not taking the matter seriously. He knew in his heart that Lily wasn't his daughter. However, since Deborah liked to act, he would play along.

"Who else could it be? Steven's biological daughter, Irene!" Deborah said unhappily. She told Logan what had happened to Lily.

Logan frowned and said, "This isn't as simple as it seems. You'd better just let it go for now."

"Why isn't it simple? You know so many people. Isn't it a piece of cake for you to do something like this?"

"That's easy for you to say. It's not the right time to take action. If they find out about us, what are you going to do?" Logan shook his head.

"I know that. Isn't that why I'm here, discussing with you?" Deborah poked Logan's head with her hand, "Do you think I would hurt you? Don't worry, I've thought of a way. You just need to implement it." "So tell me," Logan said with a look of disbelief.

"I heard that Kinsey has a bad temper, and she's loyal. She likes to stand up and fight for justice. You get someone to act out a scene in front of her, she'll take charge for sure. Then, take the opportunity to teach her a lesson. She made our Lily so bruised and swollen, so make sure her face is ruined. Later on, if anyone investigates, just let them rule it as an accident. At most, we'll pay for some damages," Deborah explained her plan.

Logan nodded repeatedly, "Your plan is very thorough. I will get someone to do it."

After Deborah left, Heather came in, "Logan, what did she come to see you for?"

Logan told Heather what Deborah wanted to do. Heather frowned and shook her head repeatedly, "Logan, you better not do it. That woman is not a good person. Every time she comes to you, she takes advantage of you. Lily doesn't even look like you. Every time she says that she is your daughter, she just wants to make use of your affection for her. We have been living a peaceful life these couple of years, I don't want anything to happen now."

"I know, but this time she has a good plan. No one would be able to see through it," Logan tried to persuade her.

"As they say, if you don't want people to know your sins, then don't commit them in the first place. You shouldn't get yourself involved. No matter how good the plan is, one day the truth will still come out. I'm worried. My sixth sense is telling me this isn't right. I keep feeling like something will go wrong," Heather was not at ease at all.

"Logan, Deborah is planning to take advantage of you for the rest of her life. She's never going to stop asking you to do things for her. Like I said before, let's just leave. We should stay away from her and make sure she can never find us anymore."

"Heather, it's not that I don't want to leave. It's that I can't leave. She has something on me," Logan sighed. This was the first time he was revealing this to Heather, "If I leave, knowing how vicious Deborah is, she'll definitely expose me, then I'll be doomed."

"What does she have over you?" Heather was starting to panic. All she knew was that Deborah had been using Logan, she had not known Deborah had something over him. Since it could be used as blackmail, it surely was not something small. What could they do?

"Heather, don't ask," Logan refused to say.

"Logan, don't keep it in your heart. If you tell me, we can think of a solution together."

"There's no other way. It's a matter of life and death, and I had no choice back then, alas..."

Heather was stunned by Logan's words. What could they do at that time? Was Logan destined to be controlled by Deborah forever?
