Chapter 123 Worried And Frightened


    Jordan and Edric quickly arrived at the hospital with Irene. The doctor gave Irene emergency treatment


    right away. After the treatment, Irene was sent to the ward. The doctor told them that she had no


    serious problem and would be fine after some rest. Hearing the doctor''s words, Jordan and Edric


    looked at each other, and both heaved a sigh of relief.


    After Irene rushed out of the office, she went on a bus in a daze. The bus continued to drive forward,


    and she sat on her seat nkly until she was the only passenger left on the bus.


    The night fell, and the scenery outside the window turned into aplete ck. When the bus driver


    announced that they had arrived at the terminal station, Irene stood up at once.


    The bus driver opened the door, and she got out of the bus slowly. She felt chilly as the evening breeze


    blew on her. She stared at the dark sky nkly, and there was a salty scent in the air.


    Realizing that she was not far from the beach now, Irene stumbled to the beach and walked into the


    sea slowly.


    For the first time in her life, she felt so exhausted and desperate!


    "What''s the point of living? It''s best if I just end my life."


    This thought made Irene stroll to the middle of the sea slowly. The seawater passed her feet gradually,


    then her ankles, her waist, her chest, and finally her neck.


    At this time, Eden''s innocent face appeared before her eyes all of a sudden. Eden was crying and


    screaming heartbreakingly, "Mommy! Mommy, you can''t die! What am I going to do if you are gone? If


    you die, I will be an orphan!"


    Eden would be so pitiful if Irene left him alone in this world. Irene had never had a mother since she


    was a child. Thus, she knew very well how challenging and pathetic Eden''s life would be without her.


    When Irene thought of her past, she immediately came to her sense. It was as if she had been


    enlightened. She struggled to return to the shore, but just as she was about to reach the shore, a huge


    wave washed over her suddenly.


    Everything went dark before her eyes, and she lost her consciousnesster on.


    Deborah and Lily looked at thements on the Inte gloatingly while listening to the movements


    outside. Every ten minutes, Maisy would pick up the phone. As time went by, Edric finally stopped


    calling. Deborah and Lily looked at each other, and it seemed that Edric had found the little b*tch.


    "Mom, what should we do now?" Lily asked.


    "Since such a serious matter has happened, we can''t pretend that we don''t know anything. Call Edric


    and ask him about Irene," Deborah ordered.


    Lily followed Deborah''s instruction and made a phone call to Edric, but no one answered. She didn''t


    give up and called him again a few more times but to no avail.


    "Mom, he didn''t answer my phone. Do you think he is suspecting me now?" Right then, her phone


    rang. Lily picked it up. It was Freya who called.


    "Lily, something terrible had happened! Those women... those women... police station..." Freya was so


    nervous that she couldn''t speak coherently. "It''s... police station... the people who went to attack Irene


    were taken to the police station!"


    "What did you say?" Lily was so frustrated that she gnashed her teeth. "Didn''t you ask them to leave


    after causing a scene? How could you allow them to be arrested?" Lily asked.


    "Well, they nned to leave after making a scene, but the security guards stopped them... Later, all of


    them were arrested and taken to the police station. They are all my rtives. What should I do if they


    give away my name?" Freya panicked.


    "You can''t do even do one thing right!" Lily rebuked. She was so furious. "Didn''t I ask you to find


    random, unrted people? Why did you go to your rtives? You''re putting us in trouble!"


    Freya regretted it very much as well. Lily ordered her to find a crowd to make a scene at Irene''s


    first. She thought they could escape unscathed after aplishing the task, but she didn''t expect that


    they would be stopped by the security guards and sent to the police station.


    Deborah heard it clearly from the side and grabbed the phone from Lily. "If they spit your name out, you


    have to bear all the responsibilities!"


    "All the responsibilities?" Freya gasped. When Lily asked for her help with this matter, she didn''t say


    that Freya had to bear the consequences. Instead, she had been assuring Freya that nothing would


    happen. How could they turn their backs on her now? How could Freya handle it? "Will I go to jail?"


    Freya questioned.


    "You won''t! You did not harm anyone or defame them after all. It''s a fact that they are together."


    Deborahforted Freya, "If they gave away your name, you would have to bear the responsibility.

    Just say that you were so furious when you identally saw Edric and Irene together. Therefore, you


    decided to stand up for Lily. Remember, this is what you should say. You will be fine as long as you


    side with us. Do you understand?"


    "I... But what if Edric doesn''t believe me?" Freya asked with a guilty conscience. If she had known this,


    she wouldn''t have agreed with Lily.


    "He has to believe it even if he doesn''t. Make sure you tell him what I said. Don''t worry. You''ll be alright.


    Besides, I will make sure to pay you handsomely," Deborah emphasized. "Didn''t you mention that your


    brother is graduating from college soon? I will arrange a nice job for him as well as for your boyfriend.


    You are now on the same boat as us, understand?"


    Freya thought for a moment and agreed to Deborah''s suggestion. She couldn''t lose her backing, Lily.


    Anyway, since things had already turned out this way, it was better for her to follow Deborah''s order.


    Moreover, she had seen how despicable Lily could be. If she provoked Lily, she would never have a


    chance to make a name for herself in her life.


    After persuading Freya, Deborah ordered Lily, "Continue to call Edric. Tell him this matter immediately


    and pass the bucks to Freya."


    Irene was still in aa in the hospital. Jordan and Edric stayed in the ward silently. After a while,


    Jordan''s phone rang. He picked it up and heard David reporting, "Mr. Reed, the culprit has been


    found."


    "Who is it?" Jordan asked.


    "It''s Lily''s good friend, Freya! She contacted the magazine office, and they found a paparazzi to follow


    Irene. That was how they got this news." David paused for a moment and continued, "As for the few


    women who made a scene at Miss Nelson''spany, it was Freya who hired them to do so. They said


    that Freya wanted to avenge Lily."


    "I don''t believe this exnation!" Jordan scoffed. "We must find out the real culprit behind the scenes."


    After Jordan hung up the phone, he looked at Edric with a sneer. "Mr. Myers, don''t you think this whole


    incident is bizarre? I won''t believe that it has nothing to do with your fiancee even if you beat me to


    death!"


    Edric put on a long face. He knew that Lily and Freya were friends. Besides, Freya held no grudge


    against Irene, so why did Freya have to frame Irene? Just as he picked up his phone and was about to


    make a phone call, his phone rang. He heard Lily asking with an urgent voice, "Edric, have you found


    Irene?"


    "Yeah!" Edric snorted.


    "Edric, I have called you many times, but you didn''t answer my calls. I''m so worried, I..." Lily was


    stammering, her voice made her sound rather pitiful.


    "What are you worried about?" Edric asked indifferently.


    "Edric..." Lily paused for a moment and replied in a trembling voice, "Edric, I want to tell you one thing.


    Freya was the one who exposed the rtionship between you and Irene!"


    "Freya did it? Why did she do that?" Edric asked.


    "She... she had some conflicts with Irene. Freya had been hating Irene since thest time Irene


    pped her. When she saw you having dinner with Irene... She... She notified the paparazzi and asked


    her rtives to make a scene at Irene''s office. Freya wanted to teach Irene a lesson," Lily answered.


    Edric mocked, "Is that so?"


    "Edric, it''s true. It''s all because of my ignorance that I got Irene into trouble. I''ve already cut off my


    rtionship with Freya!" Lily replied.


    "So? Can we just pretend that nothing has happened?" Edric hissed. Lily bit her lip. Indeed, what could


    they do even if she cut off her rtionship with Freya? This matter had a significant impact on Irene.


    "I... I''ll find a way!"


    Edric hung up the phone impatiently. It was not the time to hold the me but to minimize the impact of


    the whole incident.


    He went outside and called John, "How is it going?"


    "Mr. Myers, we''ve not managed to remove all the negative news. It has already spread out." John


    smiled bitterly. "Someone has hired arge number of Inte henchmen to publish the post at a high


    price. I checked it and found that all the IDs came from abroad!"


    "B*stard!" Edric swore for the first time and ordered John, "No matter what price we have to pay, we


    have to suppress this news."


    John nodded. Anxious, Edric wondered how this matter turned ugly. John said that someone had spent


    a huge sum of money to hire the Inte henchmen. This could not be done by Freya, obviously. Since


    Lily had called him to talk about this matter, she would not do such a silly thing too. Who was the one


    who was scheming against him?


    When Edric returned to the ward, he saw Jordan standing by Irene''s bed and staring at her. Edric felt


    irked. But at this moment, Jordan asked him to leave, "Mr. Myers, you should go home. I''m here."


    "Why should I?" Edric barked.


    "It''s you who caused all these. And, that''s exactly why you should leave this ce. What can you do


    here anyway?" Jordan looked at Edric indifferently and added, "Irene''s image has been ruined because


    of you. Do you think it''s appropriate for you to stay here? Or do you want to stay here to see how pity


    she is in such a hard situation?"


    Edric''s expression was as dark as the stove lid while staring at Jordan callously. He almost gnashed his


    teeth while retorting, "Jordan, I don''t feel good either when such a thing happened on Irene! I''m not as


    shameless as you said!"


    "You still have the guts to defend yourself, huh? Alright, well done, Mr. Myers! I''m happy that you''re not


    as shameless as I said; you must be the boldest man I have ever seen. I have seen a married man


    who has an affair, but you are the f*cking first person who has an affair with the woman your ex-wife


    hates the most!" Jordan rebuked.


    In a harsh tone, Jordan continued to criticize Edric, "You f*cking said that you loved her, but you


    hooked up with the daughter of the mistress who snatched her father away. If you really have a hint of


    humanity left in you, you will not get engaged with Lily and force her to be your secret lover!"


    "Jordan, what happened between Irene and me is not what you have seen. What I, Edric Myers, did


    are all honest and above board. I''ve nothing to be ashamed of!"


    "Nothing to be ashamed of? Aren''t you embarrassed to say that?" Jordan red at Edric and asked,


    "How are you going to exin this to Irene?"


    "Exin what?" Edric glowered at Jordan and replied, "It''s not the time to do any exination now.


    What we need to do now is to remedy the situation."


    "Remedy the situation? You are f*cking hrious. This matter is now spreading like wildfire. Can you


    shut everyone''s mouth just as you wished? Can you guarantee that everyone will not gossip about her


    behind her back?" Jordan hissed.


    "I''m thinking of a way, aren''t I?" Edric retorted.


    When the two were quarreling, Kinsey came in. She had the same opinion as Jordan before she


    pointed at Edric, shouting, "Edric Myers, get out of here! You are not weed!"


    Jordan was extremely happy to find an alliance. He echoed, "Get lost. You are not weed here!"


    Edric was driven out of the ward in disgrace. He stood furiously in the corridor. John came and said,


    "Mr. Myers, let''s go back and find a way!"


    Edric left the hospital reluctantly with John.
