Revenge Against My Ex-husband

Chapter 43 Vicious Heart

When Kinsey rushed to the hospital, Irene was getting an infusion. Edric was anxiously guarded by her

bedside. Upon seeing Edric holding Irene's hand, Kinsey rushed forward and asked, "What have you

done to Irene?"

"Keep your voice down!" It was rare for Edric to have such a good temper. "Something happened to

her."

"What happened? Myers, Irene went on a date with her boyfriend yesterday, so why is she with you?

What do you want to do? Isn't it enough that your affair caused Irene to be so miserable? Do you want

to destroy her happiness that she finally obtained as well?" Kinsey didn't have a good impression of

Edric at all, so she spoke without scruple.

Edric didn't refute her. Last night's incident wasn't a good thing for Irene. He had specially asked the

police to block the news. He was afraid that the news would have a bad effect on Irene.

Although Kinsey was Irene's good friend, it would be less troublesome if one less person knew about it.

So in the face of Kinsey's interrogation, he had to choose to be silent.

When Kinsey saw that Edric didn't explain or argue, she became more and more convinced that Edric

was the culprit. "Myers, you can get out of here. You're not welcome here!"

How could Edric be willing to leave? Kinsey snapped, "Are you going to leave or not? If you don't go, I

will call mistress Cook to ask her to come and take you away!"

While they were bickering, Irene slowly woke up. Seeing Irene wake up, Kinsey didn't bother

condemning Edric anymore. "Irene, how do you feel?"

"Water!" Irene felt that her throat was on fire. Edric immediately poured a glass of water and handed it

over. Irene drank the glass of water, and her throat felt a little better. Kinsey took the glass from her

hand. "Did Myers harass you?"

Irene shook her head and looked at Edric. "Thank you for sending me to the hospital, Mr. Myers. I have

nothing else now, so you can go attend to your work now!"

Edric still stood there, so Irene had to drive him away. "I have something to say to Kinsey. Please

excuse yourself, Mr. Myers."

Edric hesitated for a moment, but he still didn't want to leave. Kinsey drove him away rudely. "Myers,

are you deaf? Hurry up and leave!"

"I will be outside. Call me if there's anything." Edric turned around and left the ward, but he didn't go far.

"What on earth happened? How did you end up like this?" Kinsey couldn't resist asking her as soon as

Edric left.

"Kinsey, I thought I would never see you again... That Bert... he... he's not a good person!" Irene's eyes

reddened.

"Bert hit you?" Domestic violence came to Kinsey's mind first.

"No!" Irene intermittently told Kinsey about what happened last night.

Kinsey was so angry that she was fuming. "Bastard! That bastard! If I see him, I will skin him alive!"

After thinking about it, she was terrified. Fortunately, Edric passed by. Otherwise, things would have

been unimaginable. But why did Edric happen to appear there?

"Why was Edric there?"

"I don't know either. I didn't ask." After Irene woke up, she felt surprised, afraid, and ashamed. She

didn't think of asking that.

Kinsey thought about it for a while. "Why do I feel that this matter isn't that simple? That man surnamed

Kent has no grudge against you. Why would he think of setting up such a big trap to harm you? Is it

possible that Mr. Myers deliberately pretended to be the good guy, but he did it all behind the scenes in

reality? Otherwise, why would he appear there so coincidentally?"

"Edric schemed against me?" Irene froze but immediately shook her head. "He's not that despicable."

"You don't have to put in a good word for him. A man who had an extramarital affair and raised a

mistress can't be a kind one." Kinsey had no good impression of Edric.

"What's his motive?"

"The motive is straightforward. You made him lose face, so wouldn't he have to get payback?" Kinsey

reminded.

"Would he?" Irene still didn't believe that Edric would do such a thing.

"I just want to remind you that the human heart is sinister. Since Myers was capable of doing such a

disgusting thing back then, you have to be wary of him. No matter what, you can't feel grateful towards

him because of this matter. You must firmly remember that it was he who caused you to become like

this!"

Irene nodded. "I know. Don't worry, I won't have anything to do with him!"

Kinsey didn't believe that Bert would deliberately set up a trap to harm Irene, and Edric didn't believe it

either. He also suspected that someone must be trying to cause trouble. In connection with the

relationship between Irene and Jordan, he naturally thought of the Reed Family.

Although Jordan's reputation wasn't good, in the eyes of Old Mr. Reed, he was a treasure. Old Mr.

Reed would never allow his precious grandson to have a relationship with a divorced woman.

However, it was just a suspicion, and he had no evidence, so it wasn't appropriate to say anything in

front of Irene. He simply became more alarmed inside. To prevent things like what happened last night

from happening again, he had to be more attentive towards that woman.

He called John to keep an eye on the movements of the Reed Family. He wanted to see if Kent had

been acting under their orders. After finishing the call, he found that there were a few missed calls from

Lily on his phone.

Edric frowned slightly and called her back. "What's the matter?"

Lily's soft and charming voice sounded. "Do you have time tonight? My mom bought some fresh

seafood and wanted you and Auntie Lin to come over for dinner."

"I don't have the time!" Edric answered.

He refused without hesitation, so Lily had no choice but to hang up the phone and turn to Maisy, who

was in the kitchen, then say, "Maisy, you don't need to buy seafood anymore tonight."

Upon hearing that, Deborah came downstairs. "Why don't we need to buy seafood anymore?"

"He said that he doesn't have the time." Lily leaned back against the sofa and answered listlessly.

"Is he that busy?" Deborah didn't believe it.

"It's just an excuse. Didn't he always take the time to accompany Irene for dinner even when he was

busy?" Lily felt unfair. "Mom, didn't you say that the matter would come out soon? Why hasn't there

been any news yet?"

Deborah glared at her, then looked at Maisy, who was busy in the kitchen, and lowered her voice. "Is This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

now the appropriate time to talk about this matter?"

"I feel anxious inside!" Lily said with a bitter expression on her face, "As long as this matter isn't settled,

I won't be at peace."

"Don't worry. There will be news in the next two days." Deborah seemed very assured.

"Mom, what did you do? Can you reveal it to me?" Lily was very curious about what Deborah was

going to do.

"You don't have to know, but as long as that matter is successful, that b*tch's reputation will be

permanently ruined, and she will never be able to compete with you for a man," Deborah said in a low

voice. When she saw Maisy coming out of the kitchen, she stopped the topic and told Maisy, "Go and

buy some seafood. Buy a lot and the best ones."

Maisy agreed to go to the market. Lily waited for Maisy to go out and asked her quizzically, "Edric can't

make it, so why are you buying seafood?"

"To get the answer," Deborah said with a sinister smile.

In the evening, Steven came back a little earlier. When he entered the door, Deborah gently came over

to take the bag in his hand and went to make tea. Steven sat down on the sofa comfortably, and

Deborah came over with tea. "Have you gone to visit Irene recently?"

"No!" Steven replied. After he went to find Irene and unsuccessfully told her to stay away from Bert, he

didn't look for her again. Upon thinking of Irene's attitude towards him at that time, he felt a little

dismayed. "Irene is too harsh! She doesn't take me, her father, seriously at all!"

"Irene is like that because she resents us. We aggrieved her at that time. It's normal for her to have

resentment. You have to be close to her. After a long time, she will naturally change her mind."

Deborah persuaded.

"No matter how resentful she is, she can't joke about her own marriage. Look at the man she chooses

now. How terrible he is!" Steven became angry as soon as he thought about it.

"The more so, the more you need to persuade her!" Deborah looked like a kind stepmother. "I

asked Maisy to buy fresh seafood today. You can give some to Irene and take this opportunity to talk to

her. She is your child anyway. You can't abandon her!"

Deborah spoke as if she truly cared about Irene. Steven was very satisfied with her and went out with

the fresh seafood.

Lily had been on the side the entire time. She couldn't figure out why her mother would do that. Her

mother's hatred for Irene wasn't any less than hers. Why did she think of sending seafood to Irene?

However, her mother always had a method to her madness. She didn't dare to ask when she saw that

Maisy was busy in the living room.

It didn't take long for Steven to come back. Upon seeing that he was carrying the seafood in his hand,

Deborah walked up to him and asked in a gentle voice, "Irene won't accept it?"

"No!" Steven sat down. "Irene is sick. She is in the hospital now!"

"Why don't we go visit?" Deborah looked worried.

"Let Maisy make some soup, and I'll go to the hospital to visit her."

"Maisy will make chicken soup tonight. I'll let her pack it for you to take." Deborah immediately went into

the kitchen and packed the chicken soup with Maisy. Steven rushed out with the chicken soup.

After Steven went out, Deborah and Lily had a meal and sat on the sofa as they waited for news. Lily

couldn't help but lower her voice. "Mom, is the matter dealt with?"

Deborah nodded. "Yes, but why didn't he call me to ask for the rest of the money?"

As she spoke, Deborah's phone rang. She picked up the phone and looked at it. Then she immediately

got up and went into the bedroom, followed by Lily.

A man's hoarse voice came through the phone. "It's done. Send me the balance, and I'll give it to you."

Deborah was delighted. "I'll give you the rest right away."

Lily saw her mother smiling and knew that it must have been successful. Deborah hung up the phone

and told her daughter, "Lily, it's done. Transfer the money to this account immediately."

She took out a slip with a bank account number from the drawer and handed it to Lily. Lily was a little

hesitant. "Mom, aren't you afraid of being defrauded since you haven't even seen the thing yet?"

"No, Dunn recommended him, so he wouldn't swindle me! Besides, didn't your father say that little

b*tch was hospitalized? It must have something to do with that matter." Lily had no choice but to turn

on the computer and log onto the Internet. According to Deborah's instructions, she transferred 100

thousand dollars out.

It didn't take long before Steven came back. Deborah came up to him and asked, "How is Irene?"

"I didn't get to see her." Steven sighed and handed the thermos bottle to Deborah.

"She doesn't want to see you?"

"No." Steven looked at Deborah and Lily with a complicated expression. He didn't know what to say.

When he arrived at the hospital with the thermos bottle, he saw Edric's special assistant John carry the

thermos bottle into Irene's ward. He knew that Edric must be in the ward as well.

Upon seeing that Steven was about to say something but stopped himself, Deborah was secretly

elated. It seemed that Irene's situation wasn't very good. She controlled herself and asked, "Didn't you

ask the doctor?"

"Yes." Steven sat down.

"What did the doctor say?" Deborah and Lily were very anxious. The slow Q&A made them impatient,

but they couldn't go overboard with their questions.
