Chapter 21 Chill In Her heart
Chapter 21 Chill In Her heart
Standing by the door with a bag in her hand, Lily was stunned by what she saw. Edric didn't panic at all
for being caught by Lily. He turned his head and asked calmly, "Why are you here?"
His voice was gentle yet his eyes were frosty. Lily felt a chill down her spine when she saw his stone
cold face. "I... I came to..."
Her words were stuck in her throat when she saw that the woman who was pushed against the wall by
Edric was Irene.
She thought that Edric was flirting with some other women in the office. But she never expected it was
Irene.
Why would Irene come to Edric's office? When did they hook up again?
She was unsettled and agitated. Irene glanced at Lily's shocking face and sneered to herself. She
pushed Edric away and walked out in long strides.
Although she didn't want to be forced by Edric, she still felt particularly relieved since Lily saw this
scene.
Back in the days, Lily shamelessly disrupted her marriage as if it was right and proper. Edric was not a
saint. If he could cheat on Irene in the past, he would definitely betray Lily in the future. There was a
long, miserable path ahead of Lily.
Irene received a call from Jordan when she got back to the car. "Have you delivered the gift?"
"Yes!"
"How did Edric react?"
"He... he must be very happy!" Irene answered casually.
"Edric is actually supposed to be anxious now, isn't he?" She thought to herself and snickered.
Inside of the president's office upstairs, Edric sat in his chair and looked at Lily calmly. He didn't give
any explanation, nor was he on pins and needles. Lily could feel the chill in her body spreading little by
little, from her heart to her limbs.
She always knew that she was nothing in Edric's mind. In the past, she thought that Edric couldn't see
how good she was because she was overshadowed by Irene.
Edric wasn't intimate with any other women after she forced Irene away. She had always regarded
herself as Edric's girlfriend in the past three years and Edric had never objected. She thought that Edric
kept a place for her in his heart. But now, she finally realized that it was entirely one-sided as Edric
didn't even bother to give her an explanation.
She witnessed how unforgiving Edric was toward Irene in the past three years. If he could be so
heartless to Irene, a woman he loved so much, how could Lily expect him to be gentle to her?
Trying to control her emotions, she forced a smile and said, "My dad said that he wants to meet Aunt
Margaret tonight. I called you but you didn't answer. So I came up to ask if you have time tonight..."
"I don't have time!" Edric refused directly.
Edric treated Lily well before Irene came back. He wasn't so obviously distant at the very least. But he
seemed to have changed into another person now that Irene was back. Lily was seething with
resentment yet still spoke in a soft voice, "When will you be free then?"
"I've been busy recently. I have a lot of work to do on the construction bidding process. Let's talk about
it when things are settled!"
After Lily left Edric's company, the sweet and gentle look on her face was instantly replaced by
coldness.
She quickly got on her car and called her mother Deborah. "Mom, I'm so pissed off!"
"What's wrong?"
"I just went to Edric's company and saw Irene there. That little b*tch. She was seducing Edric in his
office!"
"What?" Deborah raised her voice.
"There is a set of sexy lingerie on the table, and Edric was quite intimate with her. If I hadn't been there
in time, they would have..." Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
"This little b*tch is so hateful!" Deborah fumed, "What happened later?"
"Irene ran away after seeing me. Edric treated me with an indifferent attitude. Mom, his heart has never
been on me. He was fine to me after Irene was gone. But he has become more and more aloof
recently. I am worried!"
"Don't worry, let me deal with it!" Deborah said with menace, "I won't allow anyone to block my
daughter's way. She can't blame me since she brought this to herself!"
"Mom, what are you going to do?"
"Doesn't she like to seduce men? Let's find a man to satisfy her!"
