Chapter 80 How Could There Be Such A Coincidence?


    Ireneid in his arms, her heart filled with happiness. Over the years she had been wandering around


    together with Eden, only God knew how much she had suffered all this while.


    It was not because she was particrly strong, but because she couldn''t find a reliable person to be


    her anchor. She was always wondering when she could finally live a stable life, when she could give


    Eden a father who truly loved him. Right then, she finally found Jordan, who was willing to hold her


    tightly. She couldn''t find a reason to run away and give up on him.


    Rowane thought that if she told Irene that Jordan had a fiancee, Irene''s self-esteem would cause her to


    soon break up with Jordan. Yet, little did she know that the situation would unfold in such a different


    way from what she had envisioned.


    Not only did Irene and Jordan not break up, but they got closer than before.


    Edric had be more dejected when he noticed Irene and Jordan were getting more intimate with


    every passing day. He could no longer find the light at the end of this tunnel.


    Rowane didn''t know what went wrong as it was the idea she came up after a few days of careful


    thought.


    Since Irene refused to leave Jordan, Rowane could only report the matter to Joanne for her to separate


    the lovebirds.


    While thinking that, Rowane immediately began to search for Joanne''s contact details. Soon, she found


    Joanne''s Facebook ount. Rowane immediately left a message to Joanne, stating that Jordan had a


    new lover.


    Her message also detailed Jordan and Irene''s joint performance on the cruise, and even how Jordan


    proposed to Irene with a ring.


    Not long after she sent the message, Joanne replied to Rowane, "Are you sure about that?"


    Knowing that Joanne might not believe it, Rowane immediately sent her a picture of Jordan and Irene


    attending the banquet.


    Joanne''s instinct told her that it was just someone ying a prank. Never did she expect to see the


    photo.


    In the photo, Jordan looked like the happiest man on earth. Irene''s beauty, on the other hand, was


    ethereal. Joanne was fuming with rage at seeing that photo.


    She and Irene were old acquaintances. Whenever her brother, Nathan, was trying to chase after Irene,


    she would oftene up with ideas to tease the two of them.


    However, she couldn''t tolerate the fact that Irene had seduced Jordan whom she had taken a fancy to.


    Joanne narrowed her eyes; it seemed that she had to teach Irene a lesson.


    How dared a divorcee with a child seduce her man! Where on earth did Irene''s confidencee from?


    Joanne couldn''t wait to go to San Fetillo to put Irene into her right ce. However, she knew that she


    was in an awkward position right then. The Reed family and the White family were the ones proposed


    the idea of marriage; Jordan had no interest in her.


    If she rashly went to trouble Irene, her action would only backfire. After thinking for a while, Joanne


    finally came up with an idea.


    Since Pedro liked her, she could ask him for help.


    Without hesitation, Joanne immediately called Pedro and told him on the phone that Jordan was having


    an affair with a divorced woman who had a child.


    In fact, Pedro had heard about it previously, but he never took it to heart. He merely thought that Irene


    was just another ything of Jordan, and that Jordan would grow bored of her sooner orter.


    Now that he heard Joanne bringing it up, he realized at that moment that something was amiss.


    Jordan was the type of man who did not stay interested in anything for too long. It was obviously


    strange for Irene to be able to stay with him for such a long time.


    Pedro immediately instructed Joanne, as Jordan''s fiancee, to talk to Irene so thetter would back off.


    How arrogant of her to date Jordan!


    With Pedro''s support, Joanne finally had someone to fall back on. She immediately booked a flight to


    San Fetillo.


    Irene was very surprised when she received a call from Joanne. Jordan insisted that he had nothing to


    do with Joanne. If that was the case, why did Joanne want to meet her?


    She was not a coward; she wasn''t scared of Joanne at all. Therefore, when Joanne proposed to have a


    long, detailed chat with her, Irene epted the invitation at once.


    The two of them decided to meet at a cafe. Irene encountered a traffic jam, so she waste. By the


    time she entered, Joanne had already waited for more than ten minutes.


    "Long time no see, Miss White!" Irene sat down in front of her and looked at Joanne calmly. The White


    family''s genes were exceptional. When Irene saw Joanne in the past, she knew that Joanne would


    certainly be a great beauty in the future. She was proven right upon their meeting.


    Joanne was also observing Irene with a smile on her face. Irene looked like she had never aged since


    eight years ago. She was as beautiful and pleasing to the eye as she used to be. "Irene, you''re getting


    more and more dazzling!" Joanne sighed softly.


    Irene chuckled lightly and replied sarcastically, "Miss White, you didn''t call me out here to praise me,


    did you?"


    "What kind of coffee do you want?" Joanne ignored Irene''s sarcasm.


    "Miss White, let''s get straight to the point. I''m in a hurry!" Irene added.


    "You''re still the same. Arrogant and straightforward. I like that very much! In fact, Irene, I really want to


    be friends with you, do you understand?" Joanne let out another soft sigh.


    Irene did not answer to Joanne; she merely looked at thetter quietly. Seeing Irene''s indifferent


    expression, Joanna decided to cut to the chase. "You know about Jordan and I, don''t you?"


    "What''s your rtionship with him?" Irene asked.


    "Don''t feign ignorance. I don''t believe you''ve never heard about the rtionship between him and me.


    We''re going to get engaged soon!" hissed Joanne.


    "I thought you guys were not going to get engaged?" Irene snorted.


    Joanne shook her head with a smile and said in a softer voice, "I know everything about you and him.


    Jordan likes you. He used to like a lot of other women, but obviously, you''re different. He has fallen in


    love with you."


    "I know the ring on your hand was given to you by Jordan. Since he gave that to you, it shows that his


    feelings for you are really genuine. In fact, if he didn''t give you that ring, I wouldn''t even think about


    Joanne''s gaze was now on Irene''s hand. "I know that you had a performance with him on a cruise ship,


    and you were also selected to be the best couple and got to stay in the most luxurious suite. I know


    that he sends you to work every day. I know very well what you guys have done..."


    Irene''s heart suddenly turned cold. She did not know yet that it was Rowane who had told Joanne


    those things. She thought that Joanne had been watching Jordan all the while. She immediately


    became vignt.


    "Irene, I''m really sorry about what happened between you and Nathan. But even if I could go back in


    time, I would still stop you as I did before. I don''t mean to look down on you. You are a good and


    aplished person, but you are not suited for the life of the rich and powerful," Joanne said


    eloquently.


    "The Reed family is veryplicated. There are hundreds of people of varying ages and genders in


    the family. You can''t even deal with Edric''s mother, just imagine how your life will be if you were to


    marry Jordan," Joanne continued.


    "That''s none of your concern, Miss White." Irene scoffed.


    Seeing that Irene was unmoved, Joanne got a little anxious. She suppressed her emotions and asked,


    "Irene, are you really not going to leave Jordan?"


    "Miss White, you''re asking a ridiculous question. Why should I leave Jordan just because of the


    nonsense you prattled to me?" Irene retorted.


    "What do you mean, ''nonsense''? The marriage between Jordan and me was agreed to by both


    families," Joanne rebuked.


    "Agreed to, huh? That means that you both have never actually dated, and it''s only some far-fetched


    talk between both families. How can you say that you''re Jordan''s fiancee then? Miss White, your logic


    is too ludicrous, isn''t it?" Irene replied, her voice like a rising storm.


    "Ludicrous? Jordan''s grandfather, Pedro, asked me to meet you today to talk to you. So you would


    leave Jordan for you," Joanne answered.


    "Jordan''s grandfather? What era are we living in now? Do you think it is the medieval times? Even


    then, it would still take a lot of time and effort to confirm your so-called identity of being Jordan''s


    fiancee. Can you show me any evidence? If not, drop all this nonsense and leave."


    Irene narrowed her eyes and looked at Joanne. "I will be frank with you, Miss White. Jordan is


    handsome, talented, and rich, so he has captured the hearts of a lot of women. What I mean to say is,


    you''re not the first woman toe and talk to me over this."


    "You!" Joanne didn''t expect that Irene would brazenly ssify her as just another woman who was


    infatuated with Jordan. Irene was implying that she was Jordan''s sole lover. Upon hearing that,


    Joanne''s expression changed. "I haven''t seen you in so many years, but I see that you''ve gotten good


    at talking, huh?"


    "Compared to you, it''s really nothing worth mentioning." Irene sneered.


    "Irene, did you seduce Jordan because you hated me for meddling in the business between you and


    Nathan?"


    Joanne continued on with her harshly questioning, "You couldn''t ept that, could you? So when you


    heard that I liked Jordan, you went in great lengths to seduce him. The purpose of all this is to break


    me, isn''t it?"


    "You must be lunatic!" Irene let out a scoff. "Joanne, back then, I left Nathan not because you were


    powerful, but because I had no affection for him at all. Otherwise, how could you make me leave?"


    The disdain in Irene''s eyes angered Joanne. She could no longer pretend to be gentle anddylike.


    "This is a warning to you! Don''t bite the hand that fed you!"


    "Miss White, what are you suggesting? Are you going to order your servants to mess with me like you


    did before?" Ireneughed, her voice void of emotions.


    "How did you know that?" Joanne was taken aback. Back then, she had ordered the servants of the


    White family to torment Irene''s life. She had always thought that she had done that without anyone


    noticing.


    "I guessed it, but I didn''t expect you to admit it!" Irene chuckled. "Miss White, even the timid rabbit bites


    when it is cornered. If you provoke me any further, I''m afraid I might identally tell Nathan your true


    colours and let him know that his sister, who has always been gentle and virtuous, is nothing but a


    sham. Then, your good days wille to an end!"


    "Nathan won''t believe you!" Joanne barked.


    "Why don''t we try it, then?" Irene asked.


    Joanne bit her lower lip. Originally, she came to meet Irene with confidence, thinking that she could


    make Irene leave Jordan. However, she did not expect that Irene was no longer the same person she


    was in the past. The person who was driven into a corner was her instead.


    Irene looked at Joanne scornfully and stood up. "I have matters to attend to, so I''ll be leaving. Miss


    White, take your time and ponder about it!"


    Irene had already disappeared from the cafe when Joanne''s phone rang. She answered it, saying, "Mr.


    Pedro."

    Pedro''s voice rang out over the line. "How is it? Is it settled?"


    "Things are a little tricky," Joanne told him truthfully.


    "Juste back if it''s too much to handle. Let me deal with it," Pedro replied.


    "Don''t worry. I will find a way to solve it." Before she left, she had already promised Pedro that she


    would seed, so she felt that it wouldn''t be right to return empty-handed.


    "I know you are one capable woman, but you and Jordan still need to live together peacefully in the


    future. You can''t be separated from him because of this woman. You''d better let me deal with it so you


    don''t get your hands dirty." After saying that, Pedro hung up.


    He picked up the document in front of him, which had just been sent by Ivan. Pedro''s eyes were fixed


    on the photo in the document. The woman in the photo and Irene looked at least 70% simr. Pedro


    couldn''t help but frown.


    How could there be such a coincidence?
