Revenge Against My Ex-husband

Chapter 25 Ask Her To Apologize

They were all stunned. Kinsey was the first to react. Sneering, she sad in a provocative tone, "Hey!

Isn't this Lily the Home Wrecker?"

Hearing that, everyone in the shop fixed their eyes on Lily. Lily's face turned red. As a famous socialite

in San Fetillo, she was humiliated by what Kinsey called her.

"It seems that the adulterer is going to turn you into a proper second wife now?" A hint of sarcasm

flashed across Kinsey's face. "Even a mistress is shameless enough to wear a nice gown these days.

Times have really changed."

Lily was so embarrassed that she was dying to find a place to hide. But Kinsey didn't intend to let her

off the hook easily. "Have you ever thought about karma when you destroy other people's family? Tell

you what. You're gonna have a son without as*hole. That's the price you'll have to pay."

"Kinsey!" Irene knew Kinsey well and was sure that she would keep coming down on Lily. She pushed

Kinsey into the fitting room. "Try this on first. I'm going to the restroom."

Blushing in shame, Lily felt all the joy turned bitter. She looked around for Edric but couldn't find him.

So she grabbed another random dress, bowed her head, and went back to the fitting room.

Irene asked a shop assistant for the location of the restroom. She met a pair of dark eyes when she

walked out of the restroom. Edric was here too?

He really doted on Lily and even came to pick a dress for her himself. Irene mocked herself bitterly.

When had he ever been so considerate to herself in the past? She was ready to brush past him with a

deadpan look, but Edric stopped her.

He stared at her and said, "I want to hear your explanation."

"What?" Irene was stunned.

"Irene, why did you ask Kinsey to say that?"

Irene only realized now that Edric probably heard what Kinsey said to Lily and came here to confront

her. She remained silent and felt a chill in her heart. She was ready to leave but Edric grabbed her

hand. "I won't allow you to bully my woman!"

"Sir, what do you want?" Irene didn't even bother to say his name.

"Apologize! I want you to apologize to Lily." Edric clutched Irene's hand, his fingers turning a little pale.

The apathy in Irene's eyes struck his nerve. She treated him like a total stranger after three years. How

heartless could this woman be?

Irene suddenly was choked with emotion. She had tried to not pay attention to this man, but there was

no way to stop him from marching into San Fetillo. San Fetillo was her home, yet now she couldn't go

back since this man had become the lord of San Fetillo.

She had thought about making a fortune, buying a house, and taking her uncle away. But it was never

easy to make enough money. She had been struggling for the past few years and had no choice but to

follow Jordan here. She thought about meeting this man again, yet she never expected it to turn out

like this.

"He wanted me to apologize to his new lover?" Irene suddenly felt a little sad for herself. "Why should I

hide from this man?"

He was the one who hurt her, yet she had to pay the price. She left her hometown and wandered from

place to place. She was a coward after all. She wasn't the one who did the wrong thing. What was she

afraid of?

"Why?" Irene sneered and tried to break free from his hand. But Edric grabbed her tight. She glared at

him and said, "Myers, why are you afraid of people talking about it when you had the guts to do it?"

Her temper did not change at all. She was still so headstrong and refused to give in. Edric's body froze

when he heard her calling him Myers. He couldn't help but let go of her.

Kinsey came out, wearing the dress. Irene had a good eye, and the dress looked very nice on Kinsey.

She happily bought it right away.

Kinsey noticed the downcast look on Irene's face. She thought it was because of their encounter with

Lily. "Irene, that b*tch isn't worth your time."

Irene forced a smile. Although she had been separated from Edric for three years and had moved on

from everything, it was impossible to say that she didn't care at all anymore. Edric's aggressive look

just now distressed her and she didn't want to stay here any longer. "Kinsey, let's go."

Kinsey nodded and ordered the shop assistant to pack the clothes. At this moment, Edric suddenly

appeared. Kinsey was startled when she saw him. She witnessed the relationship between Irene and

Edric and was partially responsible for fixing Irene up with Edric. Irene wasn't sure if she should be with

Edric, and it was Kinsey who convinced her to accept their love bravely.

Kinsey was furious whenever she recalled how Edric vowed to treat Irene well, yet forgot it all and got

himself a mistress only a few years into their marriage.

"I was wondering why we're so unlucky today. It turns out that we keep running into shameless people

because we picked a bad day."

Waiting in the fitting room, Lily heard her clearly. It was time for her to go out. Kinsey was so hot-

tempered that she would vent her anger regardless of the occasion.

Edric was not a pushover and would definitely lose his temper if Kinsey said something offensive.

Things would get interesting at that time. Thinking of this, she immediately opened the door and walked

out. "Edric, do I look good?" Her voice was so soft and silvery.

Edric certainly picked up the dissatisfaction in Kinsey's voice. He was a little embarrassed. But he

cracked a charming smile as soon as he caught a glimpse of Irene's indifferent expression. He

answered with a gentle voice, "It's beautiful!"

Kinsey was not as calm as Irene. Her eyes were blazing with anger at the sight. "What a brazen

couple. How dare you show off here? Do you even know how to spell shame?"

Irene naturally knew Kinsey's temper. The Edric nowadays was no longer the infatuated man who

followed Irene around. He had become the overlord of San Fetillo. This wouldn't end well if they

offended him. Therefore, she quickly took the dress from the clerk and pulled Kinsey out. "Kinsey, let's

go!"

Edric felt congestion in his chest when he saw that Irene had shown no emotion at all. He wanted to

say something to assert his authority. However, out of the corner of his eyes, he saw that she walked

out without stopping.

His eyes dimmed, and he suddenly found himself a little ridiculous. This woman was already heartless

three years ago. Why would she react strongly to what he did now?

Confused and bitter, he stared at the door in a daze. She had gone out of his sight a long time ago, yet

he couldn't take his eyes away from the door.

Lily did not notice the change of his countenance. She was still immersed in the affection Edric had just

shown her. In the past, Edric never let anything bad happen to Irene. He must have moved on from her

since he could treat Lily the same way now. Lily spoke coyly, "There's a red one I like. Let me try it on

for you."

Edric came to his senses and replied in the same gentle voice. "There's no need. You look nice in

anything. Buy them all if you like."

His words were full of love. Lily happily asked the shop assistant to pack the clothes, without noticing

Edric's indifferent look. His voice might be soft, but his eyes never had any warmth in them.

Back to the company, Edric had a sullen look as if someone owed him a lot of money. Bowen from the

Planning Department came to him with a sponsorship contract and asked for his signature to

appropriate the fund. Edric was annoyed when he saw Kinsey's name on the contract. "Stop this

sponsorship!"

Bowen was stunned and thought that he had heard it wrong. Edric stared at him and said, "Go and tell

the head of the station that I will sponsor them if they replace Kinsey Miller and make her do the

chores!"

Bowen was a little aggrieved and came out with the sponsorship contract. He met John in the corridor.

"John, help me out here!" He took John's hand and said, "It was Mr. Myers who agreed to sponsor the

event. Now he suddenly changed his mind. How am I supposed to explain it to the TV station?"

John shook his head and patted Bowen on his shoulder. "You can't argue with Mr. Myers. Just do what

he wants!"

Bowen sighed. Indeed, they couldn't reason with Edric. But it was an old classmate of his that came to

ask for the sponsorship for the show.

He carefully reviewed the program plan and thought it could bring the company profits. That was why

he took it to Edric, who also found it interesting. Who knew Edric would change his mind out of the

blue? How should he explain it to his old classmate?

Bowen didn't know what to say to his old classmate. On the other hand, his old classmate was also

quite upset. He only went to Bowen to ask for their sponsorship because he wanted to win Kinsey's

heart.

However, Kinsey only saw him as a coworker and had no interest in him at all. He started to regret it

after Kinsey turned down his dinner invitation several times. He shouldn't have helped her at all if he

knew she was so uptight.

He was delighted when he heard from Bowen that Edric wanted the station to demote Kinsey in

exchange for his sponsorship. "I will tell the leaders of the TV station immediately."

The next day, Kinsey was invited into the office of the head of the station. He first praised her ability,

then changed the subject and told her that new personnel had to work at the grass-roots level for a

while. The show she was planning would be taken over by another producer, and she could continue

when she came back.

Kinsey was not a fool. She asked directly, "Is there someone who's trying to set me up?"

The head of the station smoothed things over and asked her to keep it to herself.

Kinsey spent painstaking efforts on this show for a long time and never anticipated such a thing. She

was also a straightforward person. While feeling aggrieved, she refused to admit defeat. "Let's set this

aside for a while first. I will find more sponsorships. I can go to the grassroots if that doesn't work!"

The head of the station smiled bitterly and said, "Kinsey, who else in San Fetillo would dare to provide

you sponsorship after this?"

Irene didn't know about Kinsey's demotion until she came in for the first rehearsal. Knowing Edric was

behind this, she was so angry that she dialed the phone without thinking.

She realized that she dialed the number he had been using three years ago, which he might have

changed already. Surprisingly, however, the call was connected. She heard Edric's voice on the other

end, "Hello?"

Irene was even more furious upon hearing Edric's voice. She scolded, "Are you still a human being,

Myers?" Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Edric's voice was calm. "Of course I'm human. What's your problem, Miss Nelson?"

"How can you be so shameless? Just come at me if you must. Why would you harm Kinsey?"

"I'm busy. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you!" Edric hung up the phone at once.

He stared at the phone blankly after hanging up. Day and night, he had waited for her call for three

years. She finally called him when he was about to lose hope. "Irene, it's good that you still have a soft

spot!"
