Chapter 198 Keep It To Yourself


    Deborah''s ruthlessness made Edric extremely worried for Irene''s safety. Since she could be so cruel to


    his own mother, she would definitely stop at nothing to harm Irene. He had to inform Irene as soon as


    possible so that she could be more careful.


    Edric paid a visit to Irene and told her about Deborah and Logan. Irene was taken aback. When


    Deborah had first seduced Steven and gave birth to Lily, Irene had just seen her as a horrible person


    who had no morals. She had never thought that Deborah was actually this vicious and evil.


    "She''s way too evil. Call the police and arrest her immediately," Irene felt both angry and worried.


    Edric shook his head, "We can''t call the police! That would be going too easy on them."


    "What are you nning to do then?"


    "An eye for an eye!" Edric sneered, "They''ve plotted against us for so long. If we just report them and


    get them thrown in jail, that would be too lenient towards them. I want them to have a taste of their own


    medicine."


    Margaret''s life was still hanging by a thread in the hospital. He was mentally and physically exhausted,


    yet the culprits were living freely. Edric knew in his heart that throwing them into jail would not change


    anything. He felt like them truly suffering could not be achieved by death, but rather by destroying their


    hopes. He wanted them to suffer both mentally and physically, to feel that they were better off dead


    than alive.


    He wanted to use his own means to make those sinners suffer, so he chose not to send them to jail.


    Irene understood Edric''s pain, and she asked, "What do you need me to help you with?"


    "Just by taking good care of yourself and Eden will be the best help you can give me. In case they


    be desperate, I''ve arranged several bodyguards for you. Someone will protect you when you go


    out in the future."


    "No, that would make me ufortable," Irene shook her head. She would feel ufortable having


    someone following her and watching her every move, so she did not want to go through that.


    "No, you must listen to me this time. Deborah is a vicious person. If she tries to do anything to you, the


    consequences will be unimaginable." Edric insisted, "I will ask them to not get in the way. I''m telling you


    my ns, just in case you notice them and misunderstand why there are men following you."


    "Alright," Seeing that he was insisting Irene had to agree. She was pregnant now, so she hardly went


    out anyways. Except for taking Eden to the hospital, she mostly stayed at home. It seemed that the


    existence of bodyguards would not really affect her life.


    "Don''t tell anyone about Deborah and the others, lest they ruin my n," Edric warned her again.


    "I can''t tell Uncle Thomas either?"


    "No, keep this matter to yourself."


    Meanwhile, just as Jordan was nning to tell Irene about Deborah''s affair, David came over. The past


    few days, he had been investigating the man that Jordan had beat up in the restaurant the other day.


    He told Jordan that he had found out all three of their identities. The man was the owner of a bar,


    Gordan Cassady. The two women were respectively his wife and his mistress.


    "So they really had an affair. However, didn''t you say that they seemed really close? It''s rare for a wife


    to be good friends with her husband''s mistress. Additionally, if they were close, why would they want to


    cause a scene like that at the restaurant?" Jordan was puzzled.


    "I also found it to be strange, so I carefully investigated Gordan. I found something. Gordan used to be


    a gangster. He was involved in a lot of illegal activity and it was only recently in the past two years that


    he started going on the right track. He opened up a shop in the Western District and has been aw


    abiding citizen ever since."


    "Are we wrongly suspecting him then?" Jordan frowned, "Forget it, take it slow. Keep an eye on him."


    He gave Logan''s photo to David, "This man has something going on with Mr. Cook''s wife. You''d better


    keep an eye on him. Get a picture of them together if you can."


    David took the photo and looked at it in surprise, "This man?"


    "Do you know this person?"


    "His name is Logan. He and Gordan used to work together. Now the two of them have apparently


    turned over a new leaf to start a business..."


    "What did you say?" Jordan suddenly stood up. He had figured out the connection between Deborah


    and Logan''s rtionship and the incident. The answer was obvious.


    That night, Jordan went over to Irene''s ce for dinner. He told her about Deborah and Logan but


    since she had already heard it all from Edric, she wasn''t surprised. The only thing she found odd was


    that Edric had said Deborah and Logan were conspiring tomit crimes, but Jordan was telling her


    that Deborah was having an affair with him. Irene had to tell Edric about this.


    Irene was calm but Kinsey was very excited, "I knew that b*tch was up to no good. Going to the beauty


    salon all the time. Hah! It''s exactly what I suspected. We should tell Mr. Cook about this immediately


    and let him know what kind of woman he has by his side!"


    "No!" Irene stopped her. Edric said that they should not alert the enemy. Wasn''t this going to ruin his


    n? She added, "We don''t have any hard evidence that Deborah is with that man. Who is going to


    believe us?"


    "Are you worried that Steven won''t believe it?" Kinsley smiled coldly, "No man can stand being cheated


    on. When Steven hears of this, even if Deborah turns out to be innocent, he won''t believe her."


    "I''m not worried about him believing us. I just don''t want him to suffer in regret! After all, this would be


    hard for anyone to ept," Irene shook her head. Steven would definitely not be able to ept his wife


    having an affair, but Deborah was no pushover either.


    If she heard about the matter, she would definitely think of a way to try and fix it. If they did not handle


    this well, they might rm her. Besides not wanting to ruin Edric''s n, Irene genuinely wanted to keep


    this hidden from Steven.


    After all, Steven was her father. He had given her a life. She had no reason to make him suffer such


    humiliation at this old age.


    "Everyone should be responsible for their own actions.This is retribution. Deborah shamelessly


    seduced her best friend''s husband, so she should be punished," Kinsey insisted.


    "Kinsey, I don''t want to have anything to do with them. I have my own life, and there is no need for me


    to get caught up with them. I wouldn''t be happy either."


    "I knew that you would be like this. You''re giving up such a good opportunity," Kinsey pouted. Beside


    her, Thomas interrupted, "People can''t live in hatred. It''ll wear you out and make you unhappy. I think


    Irene is right, so I support her!"


    "Uncle Thomas!" Kinsey stomped her feet. She had been hoping that Thomas would help her persuade


    Irene, but unexpectedly he did just the opposite.


    "Life is short. There is no reason for us to suffer from other people''s mistakes. Steven''s life has nothing


    to do with ours. Whether Deborah is having an affair or not, we shouldn''t butt our noses into their


    business. We should not meddle and instead focus on our own lives."


    Seeing that both Irene and Thomas were against the idea of taking revenge on Deborah, Kinsey and


    Jordan had no choice but to give in to them.


    After dinner, Jordan said that he felt like getting some drinks at the bar. He asked Kinsey if she wanted


    to join. He had never invited her out to drink before, so Kinsey suspected that he had something he


    wanted to say to her. She agreed and they left together.


    However, Jordan didn''t have anything to say to her at all. Instead, he really did take her to a bar.


    The bar was not a high-end bar, and the atmosphere was horrible. Kinsey found it to be odd. Jordan


    was the type of person who often frequented high-end ces. Why would he suddenly want toe


    here?


    After drinking a few mouthfuls of wine, Kinsey was not in a good mood, so sheined to Jordan,


    "I''m so angry! Why is Irene so stupid? This is the perfect opportunity to mess with Deborah, so why


    won''t she take it? And Uncle Thomas, is he really Irene''s uncle? What kind of uncle is he even? How


    can he be so calm when he is watching his own niece and sister being plotted against!"


    Jordan smiled and said, "Calm down. They all have their reasons. Thomas isn''t wrong, and he just


    wants Irene to live a happier, simpler life. It''s a good mindset to have. If all this while, he kept


    whispering bad things about Steven and Deborah into Irene''s ear, she would not be the woman she is


    today. She would be filled with hatred for Steven, and she would definitely be extremely vengeful.


    However, she''s not like that. Rather, she''s full of life and hope. That''s undeniably all thanks to Thomas."


    "Have you changed your mind too? So you don''t intend to deal those two b*tches anymore?" Kinsey


    was very disappointed.


    "If Deborah had regretted her mistake from the past, if it was just a one time slip up, I would consider


    letting her off. However, that''s obviously not the case," Jordan sneered, "Do you still remember what


    Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    happened in the restaurant that day?"


    "I remember." When he mentioned that, she felt a little embarrassed, "Sorry for troubling you that day."


    "No, that''s not what I''m talking about. Look over there, do they look familiar?"


    "Isn''t that woman the mistress from that day?" Kinsey recognized the woman.


    "You have a good memory. Look over there," Jordan pointed to the other side. Kinsey looked over and


    saw the man who had got beaten up and also his wife. They were huddled together and seemed to be


    discussing something.


    "What''s going on? Have they made up?" Kinsey was confused and looked back at the mistress. Even if


    they did, why would they appear in front of the mistress?


    "This man is the owner of this bar, and the woman is the boss'' wife. The mistress is a waitress here,"


    Jordan exined.


    Kinsey looked around and was utterly confused. The three people in front of her were actingpletely


    differently from the scenario she saw that day. The boss'' wife already knew about her husband hooking


    up with one of their workers. That day she had even mentioned that she worked her a*s off just to feed


    the family. However, it seemed like there was no such thing.


    "Next time, use your brain before acting. Not everything is worth standing up for…," Before Jordan


    could finish speaking, Kinsey stood up. Jordan grabbed onto her hand and asked, "What are you going


    to do?"
