Revenge Against My Ex-husband

Chapter 180 Her Plan Was Backfiring

"What's this?" Irene did not take it.

"This is the key to the bank's safe. There's some jewelry and gold bars inside. I'm handing them over to

you today," Steven replied.

"Why are you giving this to me?" Irene thought that Steven was just here to denounce her, but

surprisingly he was gifting her assets. However, why was he giving the key to her right now? He had

been here a few times before, so why not then?

"Irene, I have something to ask of you," Steven didn't dare to look at Irene.

"About Lily?" Irene sneered. She should have known Steven could not be so kind.

"You know about Lily's condition. There's something wrong with her body. If she gets rid of the baby,

she won't be able to have a child ever again, so I've come to you to ask you..."

"Mr. Cook, don't you think you're looking for the wrong person?" Irene interrupted him. "Lily is pregnant

with Edric's child. You should go look for Edric and Margaret instead."

"Edric is very angry and determined to kill this child...This whole incident isn't Lily's fault. She's

innocent. I don't want to see her live the rest of her life alone."

"Even more the reason for you to seek Edric, no?"

"Irene, Edric will listen to you. If you persuade him, he will listen to you," Steven saw that Irene did not

buy that at all and had to spit out frankly, "You and Lily are sisters after all. Just help her out this one

time."

"Mr. Cook, how many times have I told you that my mother gave birth to only me? I have nothing to do

with your disgusting affair. It's your business if you want to help your illegitimate daughter. Please don't

bother me anymore!"

Irene got up. Steven was being too despicable. He knew that she hated Lily, but yet he was asking her

to help Lily. It chilled her to the bone.

"Irene!"

"I used to sympathize with you, but now looking at you, I can see that my feelings were in vain. Mr.

Cook, I don't want to have anything to do with you. I don't need your so-called assets. You'd better

leave them to your illegitimate daughter!"

Steven just looked at Irene's resolute figure and sighed. Was he wrong? They were both his daughters,

so what else was he supposed to do?

Edric ordered John to investigate the sperm bank in San Fetillo Hospital. Sure enough, he found traces

of Marie there. On the day the nurse ran into her, Marie did go to the hospital to take the sperm.

However, it was sperm that Marie herself had stored, and it had not been recorded in the hospital's

records.

The staff at the sperm bank told John that the sperm was stored here four years ago by Marie. When

John reported this news to Edric, they both thought of the same thing. Could it be that this was the

sperm that Edric had given Margaret four years ago? Marie didn't use it all back then so she had

chosen to store it and use it on Lily?

If this was the case, then there was about to be an exciting show.

Edric felt that he should be more humane and remind Lily of her place. So, he called her, but Lily did

not dare to answer for a long time. After some consideration, she picked up and Edric's cold voice

sounded out.

"Miss Cook, I advise you to go to the hospital to get rid of the baby in your belly, so that you won't be in

trouble."

Lily was unwilling to listen, "Edric, I had no choice. If I lose the child, I will never have a baby again. I

beg you, let me give birth to the child. I promise I won't disturb you and Irene!"

"Miss Cook, I am asking you to undergo the procedure for your own good. You don't have to listen to

me, but you'll have to bear the consequences on your own when the time comes."

Edric didn't want to say any more words to Lily. That woman was too disgusting. If she insisted on

giving birth, that was up to her.

Edric went to see Irene again and told her everything he had found out. Irene was extremely surprised

by his revelation.

If that was the case, that would meant that Lily would give birth to another man's child. With all the

effort she had put into her scheming, she would go crazy if she found out that she was pregnant with

another man's child.

However, Irene did not feel sorry for her at all. Lily's plan was backfiring on herself.

Edric proposed to get married again, "Irene, let's go register our marriage and give Eden and the child

in your stomach a complete family."

Irene shook her head, "This is not the right time to talk about this. Eden is about to wake up from his

afternoon nap. You should go!"

Edric sighed softly. Irene was still rejecting him. He also knew that this was not the time to force her. He

had to go settle the matter that had come between them for so long.

He would never let those people go. They had tried to create misunderstandings between him and

Irene to ruin their happiness! He would not let a single one of them off the hook!

Marie's heart ached upon seeing Lily badly beaten up. She regarded Lily as her own daughter. She had

no idea that Deborah had already seen through her ploy and was outwitting her. She did not know that

Lily was not her daughter, but instead her daughter was Rowane, who she had hired people to kill.

Marie was a malicious person. For her own interests, she would not hesitate to kill Myra, let alone

Irene. After all, Irene had beaten Lily up. Marie left the hospital with her teeth clenched. She swore that

she would take revenge on Irene.

Marie thought hard but she had no idea how to deal with Irene. In the end, she had no choice but to tell

Margaret about what was going on. Margaret was looking forward to the arrival of her grandsons, and

she was not on good terms with Irene anyway. If she heard that Irene had beaten Lily up, she would

hate her even more.

With Margaret in the way, Irene and Edric being together would be close to impossible.

Thinking of this, Marie went to find Margaret. She first asked about Margaret's physical condition, and

then told her what Irene had done to Lily.

She exaggerated Lily's injury and described it in a horrifying way, "It's horrible. Lily's face was so

swollen that I couldn't even recognize her. If the driver hadn't been there to send her to the hospital, Lily

would definitely have suffered a miscarriage!"

Margaret was shocked, "Are my grandchildren all right?"

"The doctor said she might be at risk of a miscarriage, so she should rest in bed."

Hearing this, Margaret was very worried. Lily had two babies in her. If anything went wrong, she would

be heartbroken. She was so angry that she shouted, "How could Irene be so vicious? Lily is her sister,

no matter the circumstances. She can't even forgive her own sister?"

"For someone as evil as her, she doesn't care about family," Marie was full of hatred. "If she had even

an ounce of kindness in her, she would sympathise with Lily. Lily is pregnant with twins. The chances of

that are miniscule. She knows this, so she's jealous. I'm just worried that she might try to take the

children away once Lily gives birth."

Margaret cursed fiercely, "It's too much. No, I have to tell Edric and expose her true colors."

Margaret immediately called Edric and told him about Lily's miserable condition based on what she

heard from Marie. Edric sneered and said, "She is lucky that she didn't lose her babies. Next time, if

she provokes Irene again, I will make sure she has a miscarriage."

Upon hearing her son's ruthless words, Margaret scolded him harshly. However, Edric did not care at

all and simply hung up on the phone.

Usually, it was a big thing to be pregnant with twins, that was why Marie had inseminated two sperms

into Lily's ovum. At that time, she thought that they would have a better chance of Edric changing his

attitude towards Lily once he knew about the twins. However, she did not expect that Edric would not

buy it at all.

Edric's ruthlessness chilled Marie's heart. She was an experienced woman. She had seen Malcom's

attitude towards Lydia before.

In the past, she had been hoping that Margaret could suppress Edric so that Lily could marry into the

family successfully. Now, seeing how helpless Margaret was, Marie faintly realized that it was not a

wise choice to let Lily get pregnant at this time.

Margaret couldn't live forever. In the future, Edric would be the head of the family. Edric did not like Lily,

so it wasn't hard to guess what would happen.

Although she had come to this realisation, it was too late to turn back now. Lily's children must be born,

otherwise, the rest of her life would be nothing but misery. Marie had to comfort herself in her heart.

Even if Lily couldn't get what she wanted, she could at least get some money. After all, Edric was their

father. He would not treat his children badly with all the money he had.

Marie didn't know that Edric had already signed his property over to Irene and his two children.

Although Margaret had already found out, she certainly would not tell Marie about something like that.

After a bit more chit chat, Marie left angrily.

Walking out of the Myers family home, Marie didn't feel the least bit soothed. On the contrary, she was

even more upset. Things were no longer under her control now. She had to find a way to stop Irene

from staying in San Fetillo if she wanted to secure Lily's future.

She had no way to control Irene. Fortunately, Irene still had Thomas by her side. Marie decided to go

and find Thomas. She would persuade and threaten him again. Then, Thomas would eventually think

of a way to get Irene to leave San Fetillo.

After Marie left, Edric came back. His and Marie's car passed each other. Marie was an accomplice to

Lily's pregnancy. Seeing Marie coming out from his house again, Edric felt extremely disgusted.

Marie definitely did not go to his house with any good intentions. Margaret's leg had not recovered so

she had been resting at home. Due to this, she was not very updated with what was going on. It

seemed like Marie had gone to tell her about Lily's injury. Why was Marie helping Lily so much? What

was Lily giving back to her in return?

His car pulled up to the front of the house and he strode in. Margaret heard the sound of the door

opening and turned towards him, "You're back?"

Edric walked over and asked bluntly, "Why was Marie here?" NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

"She was worried about my health, so she came to visit me and have a chat..."

"Worried about your health? Why is she being so kind?" Edric sneered, "It seems to me like she had

other motives."

"She's my best friend, isn't it normal for her to care about me?"

"Don't hide it anymore. Marie must have told you that Lily was beaten up, right?" Edric smiled

mockingly, "Apart from gossiping about nonsense, what evil scheme is she up to now?"

"What are you on about? Isn't she speaking the truth? It's true that Irene beat Lily up isn't it?"

Margaret's temper was rising.

"Yes it is, but she brought it upon herself!" Edric sneered, "She was so shameless that she had the

nerve to plot a pregnancy. How dare she provoke Irene? She deserves it!"

"Edric, Lily is pregnant with your twins. You've got to be less biased. Fortunately, Lily was sent to the

hospital in time, otherwise, my two grandsons..." Margaret dared not imagine what might have

happened.

"It's for the best if she had faced a miscarriage. A vicious woman like her doesn't deserve to be a

mother," Edric had never attacked anyone like that before. His hatred for Lily had reached its peak.

"How can you be so ruthless?" Margaret's temper rose even more, "Just because you like Irene, you're

blinded from her viciousness. All you see is how good she is. She won't even let her own sister go.

How much more vile can one be? My grandsons will not be raised by her, for she will ruin them."
