WorldNovelChapter 17 Margaret saw Edric coming downstairs as she stepped through the door. She sat down angrily and said, "Edric, that Irene is really shameless. We all underestimated her in the past." "Mom, did you go to find her?" Edric frowned slightly.
"I didn't go to her. She was the one who cto me. She suddenly foundthis morning and askedto give her 10 million." Eager to smear Irene, Margaret certainly didn't speak the truth. "She cto you? Why would she go to you for no reason?" Edric asked.
"She's not resigned! Since the divorce, she has been penniless and jealous about your upcoming engagement with Lily and your company's success. That's why she cto me, asking for money. She said she would tell people how Lily got pregnant back then and defboth of you if we don't give her money." "Did she really say that?" "Of course it's true. I'm your mother. Why do I lie to you?" Margaret was well-prepared when she went to see Irene. She took out a voice recorder from her bag and turned it on to play it for Edric. Hearing Irene asked for 10 million dollars rudely and even threatened his mother, Edric's eyes darkened. Margaret could tell that her son was angry. "Edric, Irene is not a good person. It's going to be bad if she really spills the beans. You have to find a way to drive her out of San Fetillo and never cback again!" "I see. Mom, don't go to look for her. I'll handle it!" Edric picked up his coat and left home.
His cell phone rang shortly after he drove off. Edric picked it up and saw that it was a text message. "Your credit card ending in #### is debited with 3,000 dollars towards ATM cash withdrawal." Edric was stunned. This was the card he threw to Irene that day. It surprised him that she would actually take money out of it. It seemed that she really needed money.
While pondering, another text message showed up, "Your credit card ending in #### is debited with 8,000 dollars towards ATM cash withdrawal." Edric thought for a moment and picked up his phone to call his Executive Assistant John. "Check Irene's situation and see if she is in urgent need of money recently!" "Mr. Myers, I'm looking for you just now," John spoke, "Madam's uncle has uremia and is being hospitalized. I heard that he needs a new kidney." "Is that so? Try to find a new kidney for them immediately!" Edric hung up the phone and immediately turned the car to go to the hospital.
Edric asked for Thomas's ward number and hurried to the inpatient department, where he saw Jordan standing in the lobby. Jordan, a young master who had never done anything himself, was carrying a fruit basket in one hand and holding his cell with the other. He was speaking on the phone, "Where are you? Did you go home? Which ward is it?"" After hanging up, he turned around and saw Edric. With a smile, he said, "Ah, Mr. Myers? What a coincidence! Are you here to visit a patient as well?" Edric felt icky whenever he saw Jordan. "Mr. Reed, what brought you here?" "My woman's uncle got uremia. He's staying in the hospital? I cto see him to establish a good rapport." Edric's expression becgrim immediately. It was not difficult for him to figure out the woman Jordan was referring to.
Simmering with anger, Edric did not enter the elevator. He turned around and left the inpatient department. After waiting for half an hour at the door, he saw Irene coming in a hurry with a thermos cup in her hand. Edric stepped forward and stopped her. "Did you ask my mom for money?" Irene took a step back, her face full of disgust. "Are you insane?" The disgust in her eyes enraged Edric. He was already trying to hold his temper, and his tone beceven harsher. "Irene, why are you lying? If you need money, tellthen. Why did you play tricks behind our backs?" "What do you mean? Myers, make it clear!" Irene's face turned red. She recalled how Edric kicked her out of the house whenever she saw him. "Myers, I would be a homeless beggar before asking you for money. Don't makepuke, okay?"
