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 exin or argue, she became more and more convinced that Edric


    was the culprit. "Myers, you can get out of here. You''re not wee 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 toe 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 ss of water and handed it


    over. Irene drank the ss of water, and her throat felt a little better. Kinsey took the ss 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 happenedst 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 be 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


    rtionship 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 rtionship 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 rmed inside. To prevent things like what happenedst 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 toe 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 apany Irene for dinner even when he was


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


    been any news yet?"


    Deborah red at her, then looked at Maisy, who was busy in the kitchen, and lowered her voice. "Is


    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 sessful, that b*tch''s reputation will be


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


    voice. When she saw Maisying 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 sofafortably, and


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


    "No!" Steven replied. After he went to find Irene and unsessfully 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 toe 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 ept 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 bnce, 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 sessful. Deborah hung up the phone


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


    She took out a slip with a bank ount 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 rmended 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 theputer and log onto the Inte. ording to Deborah''s instructions, she transferred 100


    thousand dors 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 aplicated 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


    ted. 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.
