Chapter 4 Cruel Man


    Many people were startled by themotion and nced over. The security guards, too, rushed over.


    As this was a party for members of the upper ss, the security guards were unusually


    snobbish. Irene, who was dressed in ordinary clothes, was naturally taken for a waitress. Thus, without


    even getting their facts right, the guards immediately shoved her out of the hall.


    As Freya''s eyes were burning from the chili gravy, she was quickly sent to the hospital.


    After Edric heard of the news, he rushed over only to see Lily with a clear palm print on her face and


    her expensive evening gown stained with soup. Surprised by the awkward state that she was in, he


    asked, "What happened?"


    Lily was actually afraid that Edric woulde to know that Irene had appeared at the party. However,


    she knew that she couldn''t hide the truth from him now that things have reached this state. Thus


    she cried andined, "Edric, I saw Miss Nelson. She''s working as a waitress here. For some


    reason, she deliberately spilt juice on me and Freya when she saw us. Freya couldn''t put up with it and


    scolded her, so she suddenly went berserk and dumped food onto Freya. She even pped me..."


    Edric was stunned and quickly scanned the surroundings, but did not spot Irene anywhere. Lily then


    forced out some tears and continued, "My clothes were soiled and I got pped by her. But Freya''s


    eyes were stung by the chili gravy that Nelson dumped on her. Miss Nelson had nned to aim for me,


    but Freya took the blow for me."


    Edric''s expression was unreadable as he stared at her pitiful face. He then patted Lily, who was wiping


    her tears away, and asked coldly, "Where is she?"


    "She was taken away by the security guards!"


    "Let''s go and have a look!"


    After Edric said this, he supported Lily, who was in a mess, out of the hall. Irene was taken to the room


    next to the hall by the security guards. They were scolding her and calling the police.


    Irene lowered her head as she remained seated on the sofa. Her body was dripping wet from the


    wine, and she finally calmed down after she was brought here.


    She should have put up with them earlier on, but instead she lost control of herself and stirred up a fuss


    like this. Jordan certainly wouldn''t let her off the hook. He was a rich yboy with a foul temper and


    was especially fierce towards her.


    Nathan White had forced Jordan to ept Irene as his Personal Assistant.


    Thus, Jordan had always disliked her and made things difficult for her. Now that she created a scene,


    she felt certain that he would fire her.


    Just when she was fraught with anxiety, the door was pushed open and a gust of cold air blew over.


    Irene looked up and stared right into a pair of dark, unreadable eyes.


    Heartbroken, Irene had left the city ever since Edric asked hiswyer to force her to sign the divorce


    agreement three years ago.


    Throughout the past three years, she had never thought that she would bump into Edric again, for she


    had nned to avoid him for the rest of her life. Yet on her first day back in San Fetillo, they crossed


    paths again in such a way.


    She was in aplete state of mess while he was high above her and looking at her disdainfully as


    though he was a king while his arms remained wrapped around Lily''s waist. Irene wondered if he had


    Suppressing the rolling emotions in her heart, Irene looked away indifferently.


    As she had made up her mind to treat him like aplete stranger if they were to cross paths again,


    there was nothing to be upset about, was there?


    Edric''s pupils constricted when he saw Irene looking away with cold indifference. After he helped Lily


    into the room, he ordered icily, "Apologize!" One couldn''t help but tremble when they heard him.


    However, Irene merely pursed her lips and remained silent. "He wants me to apologize to his mistress?


    Besides, he''s demanding for my apology when I''ve done nothing wrong. There''s no way that I would do


    this."


    Edric''s expression turned darker and darker when he noticed that she had no intention of speaking up.


    "Irene Nelson, didn''t you hear me? Apologize," he ordered.


    "Apologize? Why should I? Mr. Myers, do you think you''re a King who could order me around?" Irene

    smiled contemptuously.


    "It doesn''t matter whether I''m a king or not. What matters is the fact that you deliberately assaulted


    others. Freya has already been sent to the hospital. You should know the consequences!"


    He was obviously threatening her, and Irene knew that he wasn''t doing it for Freya, but for Lily. Without


    the slightest intention to apologize, Irene smiled and replied, "Mr. Myers, you''re so powerful that you


    could do anything that you want, so I''ll be waiting to see what you could do. As for the apology, you''ll


    get it in your next life!"


    Edric felt strangely stifled and ufortable when he saw how indifferent Irene was when she retorted


    him in an icy tone of voice.


    "Irene, since you''re so stubborn, then don''t me me for being merciless," Edric replied and nced at


    her coldly before he turned to instruct the security guards, "Have you called the police?"


    "Yes!" The security guard answered respectfully.


    "Then we''ll let the police settle this impartially! We''ll see how tough you could be once you''re in the


    police station!"
