You Are The Pursuit of My Life

doctor's words, Jordan and Edric looked at each other, and both heaved a sigh of relief.

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 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 blankly until she was the only passenger left on the bus.

The night fell, and the scenery outside the window turned into a complete black. 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 blankly, 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.novelbin

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 consciousness later on.

Deborah and Lily looked at the comments on the Internet 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 planned 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 relatives. 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, unrelated people? Why did you go to your relatives? 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 company. Since Lily had given Freya a large sum of money, Freya certainly would think of her relatives first. She thought they could escape unscathed after accomplishing 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." Deborah comforted Freya, "If they gave away your name, you would have to bear the responsibility. Just say that you were so furious when you accidentally 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 a coma 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's company, it was Freya who hired them to do so. They said that Freya wanted to avenge Lily."

"I don't believe this explanation!" 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 relationship 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 the last time Irene slapped her. When she saw you having dinner with Irene... She... She notified the paparazzi and asked her relatives 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 relationship 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 relationship 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 blame 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 a large number of Internet 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 Internet 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 place. What can you do here anyway? Jordan looked at Edric

indifferently and added, "Irene's net

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 е

the boldest man I have ever et

seen.

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 glared at Edric and asked, "How are you going to explain this to Irene?"

"Explain what?" Edric glowered at Jordan and replied, "It's not the time to do any explaination now. What we need to do now is to remedy the situation."

"Remedy the situation? You are f*cking hilarious. 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 welcomed!"

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