Chapter 16 Not Holding On To Her


    In the darkness of night, a beautifully-designed ck car was parked under the building Irene and


    Thomas lived in.


    The light was dim and the cigarette was flickering in the car, illuminating the man''s gloomy face.


    The watch on his wrist showed it was 3 am already. Yet the woman was still nowhere to be seen.


    Edric, who had been waiting in the car for five hours, cracked a sarcastic smile.


    He knew she would stay outside all night when he saw the woman and Jordan left the hotel together


    intimately. But he still couldn''t control himself and had toe and have a look.


    There was still a trace of hope remaining in his heart. Yet it turned out it was nothing but an unrealistic


    fantasy.


    He threw away the cigarette butt angrily, started the car, and soon disappeared into the darkness.


    His mother, Margaret, was still waiting for him in the living room when he arrived at home. She


    to have dinner with us. Why did you leave halfway?"


    "Mom, I have some business to attend to! Didn''t I exin it to you?" Edric looked tired.


    "Business? Isn''t it because of Irene? Edric, I know you can''t forget her. But that little b*tch is so hateful.


    She not only treated you so cruelly, but also killed Lily''s child. Why are you still holding on to such a


    vicious woman?"


    "Mom, I''m not holding on to her!" Edric denied.


    "It would best if you are not. You''re not a young man anymore. Lily likes you very much and is a perfect


    match for you in terms of appearance and status. You should hurry up to marry her and have a baby so


    that mom can finally rest assured."


    "Let''s talk about itter. I''m exhausted. I''m going up to rest first!"


    Looking at her son''s tired face, Margaret sighed. Her son had been as busy as a bee for the past three

    years. Hispany was growing and he was making a lot more money. Yet he never had a smile on


    his face. This was all because of Irene Nelson the jinx!


    "That d*mn jinx! Why did shee back after walking out?"


    She must have heard that her son was going to be engaged to Lily and deliberately came back to


    disrupt it! Margaret''s face was stern. No, she had to have a chat with that woman!


    She wanted her to stay away from her son. It would be ideal if she could get out of San Fetillo like she


    did three years ago and never show up again!


    After saying goodbye to Jordan, Irene went to the hospital to keep her unclepany. At dawn, she


    got up quietly and went to the market, nning to buy a chicken to make some soup for her uncle.


    When Irene came back to her neighborhood carrying the chicken, she immediately noticed Margaret,


    who was waiting for her with a gloomy face.


    Margaret saw Irene and came over to stop her. "I have something to say to you."


    "I don''t have time!" Irene refused directly.


    "It will take just a moment." Margaret specifically came here to wait for Irene and certainly wouldn''t


    ept her refusal. "Irene, name your price!"


    "Name my price?"


    "Yes, I know that you are not happy about leaving my family without a penny, and you deliberately


    came back to disrupt Edric''s uing engagement. Let me tell you. I will never let Edric be with you.


    You better drop this idea altogether!"


    "Madam Myers, don''t worry. We''re totally in agreement on that," Irene replied.


    "Really? If that''s the case, you''ll leave San Fetillo immediately. I''ll give you money, and you''ll leave as


    soon as possible!"


    Looking at the domineering ex-mother-inw in front of her, Irene smiled instead of getting angry. "How


    much does Madam n to give me?"


    "100 thousand dors. Is that enough?" Irene''s remained silent with a mocking smile on her face.


    Margaret immediately added, "300 thousand dors. I can add an extra 100 thousand dors if you


    leave right now!"


    "400 thousand dors? Madam Myers, do you think I''m stupid?"


    "Then how much do you want?"


    Irene signaled the number with her figure. Margaret frowned. "1 million dors? Irene, do you think the


    Myers is a family of morons?"


    "You are wrong, Madam Myers, I want 10 million. I will leave right away if you give me 10 million!


    "10 million dors? Are you crazy?" Margaret''s face changed.


    "It was you to ask me to name the price. I''m telling you, give me 10 million dors, and I''ll leave


    immediately. Otherwise, don''t even think about it!"


    "What shameless b*tch you are!" Margaret was so angry that she cursed with profanities. Irene


    sneered. "What''s wrong? Are you turning angry from embarrassment? Why would you pretend to be


    rich since you can''t afford my price?"


    "Irene, don''t push my limits. I haven''t held you ountable for pushing Lily and caused her


    miscarriage. Don''t me me if you dare to defy me!"


    "Really? I''d like to see what Myers would do. You don''t want your future daughter-inw to be called a


    mistress, do you? It''s a bombshell that the secretary''s daughter is willing to be the other woman and


    destroyed other people''s family."


    "You!" Margaret was speechless for a moment. She didn''t expect Irene, who used to be quiet and timid,


    to be so intimidating. Irene had no time to talk nonsense with her and walked away in long


    strides.


    Watching Irene''s receding figure, Margaret sneered and said, "B*tch, you''re too young to fight against


    me. Just wait and see how you''ll die!"
