Revenge Against My Ex-husband novel Chapter 115

Wilson had broken out into a cold sweat. "Mr. Myers, Miss Nelson is talking nonsense as she's drunk. Please don't take it to heart," Wilson apologized to Edric on Irene's behalf.

"She's drunk, right? Since she's drunk, I'll take her to go sober up," Edric said as he put down the glass in his hand and rose from his seat.

Before Irene could react, he grabbed her hand and marched out of the private room under the shocked gazes of the people around them.

"D*mn woman, how dare she say that I can't last long? It seems that I must teach her a lesson," Edric thought.

Edric covered Irene's mouth and pulled her away from the room they were at. Due to the great disparity in their physical strengths, Irene could not break free of his grip. He eventually dragged her into the elevator.

After entering the elevator, Edric let go of the hand covering her mouth. Irene stared at him and asked, "Edric, what on earth are you doing?"

"Didn't you say that I only lasted for two minutes? Let's try it right now. You'd better watch the time and see if it's two minutes or two hours!" Edric looked at her coldly, his tone frosty.

A chill ran down Irene's spine when Edric stared at her with his cold gaze. The lift was ascending, but her heart seemed to be sinking into a pit. "Could it be that Edric...?" 

Just as the thought flashed across her mind, the elevator stopped. Edric hauled her out of the elevator and took the room access card out from his pocket. Seeing the room access card in his hand, Irene grappled desperately and exclaimed, "Edric, let me warn you, you'd better not mess around with me!"

"You were so fearless just now, weren't you? Why are you acting like a coward now?" Edric swung the door open and yanked her into the room roughly.

Irene's heart sank further when the door clicked shut. "Edric used to be so cruel to me. Is he going to force himself on me here and now?" she wondered.

She didn't want that at all. After all, it was not her ovulation period now. Moreover, she had drunk a lot of wine. She worried that a baby conceived from this tryst would suffer some birth defects because of the alcohol.

The thought of that made her hug herself tightly. "Edric, don't do anything silly!" she warned.

"Now you're afraid?" Edric reached out and gripped her chin with his hand. Looking down at her, he asked, "Don't you think it's too late for regrets?"

His body exuded the scent of cologne, the same fragrance which had just been on Rowane a while ago. Irene had smelled it on Lily before too. She didn't know if it was because of the alcohol that she suddenly felt a wave of nausea washing over her.

She reached out to push Edric away and yelled, "Edric, stay away from me! You're disgusting!"

Irene was telling the truth. She could feel the revulsion in her every cell. The moment she recalled that Edric had slept with Lily and Rowane before, he was reduced to filth in her eyes.

However, Edric saw things in a different light. Irene disliked him and had always framed him as sickening and revolting, but to him, he had never betrayed her.

He felt a surge of anger in his heart. "Didn't you dislike me because I was disgusting? I'm going to disgust you thoroughly today!" 

Edric held Irene's chin tightly and was ready to kiss her on the lips hard.

Looking at his face approaching hers rapidly, Irene felt her stomach churning and couldn't hold it in anymore.

"Ah!" Edric's whole person was suddenly covered with her vomitus upon that cry.

A pungent odor spread in the suite. Edric was speechless, his face stormy. Holding back his nausea, he rushed into the bathroom with Irene in tow.

Irene felt much more comfortable after she had puked. Seeing the filth all over Edric's face and body, she couldn't help but giggle. "That's what you get, Edric!" she rejoiced inwardly.

Edric turned the shower on and sprayed the water on them madly. The acidic smell had somewhat diffused, but he and Irene were now both wet. "Edric, what now?" Irene asked.

The water spraying out of the showerhead made Irene unable to open her eyes. She could only yell at Edric. 

"I'm helping you sober up!" Edric answered coolly as he doused her in water for a while more. He didn't stop until the foul smell had completely gone from his nostrils.

The sensation of wet clothes sticking to one's body was uncomfortable. Edric began to take his clothes off thusly. Seeing what he was doing, Irene turned on her heel, about to leave. However, Edric caught her and reached out to strip her.

Irene floundered with all her might. However, she was no match for Edric. Soon, he had completely stripped her bare.

He had seen her naked countless times before, but the situation they were in now was an awkward one. Irene blushed; and, Edric relished the uncomfortable look on her face. Now in a much better mood, he added, "It's not like I've not seen you naked before. Don't pretend you're all so innocent."

With that, he began to lather his body with shower gel. Observing his indifferent look, Irene gnashed her teeth with hatred and cursed, "You beast!"

"What did you say?" Edric's voice became callous at once; he glared at her.

Startled by the glare, Irene instantly lost the courage she had plucked up. She said meekly, "Nothing."

"Irene, these are your just deserts. Since you enjoyed taunting me, I'll fulfill that wish of yours. I haven't settled the score with you just now. How dare you puke all over me? Come and wipe my back! Also, give me a massage while you're at it," Edric commanded.

"Miss Nelson, your clothes," Rowane said.

It was useless to be sentimental at that moment. Irene thanked her and took the clothes, but Rowane had no intention of leaving. Irene heard Rowane call the housekeepers to clean up the suite. It seemed that she was going to stay here for a while.

Irene was not accustomed to being seen naked by others, thus she carried the bag into the bathroom to change into the clothes Rowane brought. After she was done changing, she put her wet clothes in the bag and headed out of the bathroom.

There she saw a housekeeper cleaning the suite while Rowane was watching TV from the sofa in the suite. She had a sudden thought—she wondered if this suite was Edric and Rowane's secret rendezvous spot.

She had never interacted with Rowane much before and she had already thanked Irene earlier. That was enough. She strode out of the room carrying her wet clothes. Seeing her walking straight to the door, Rowane stopped her hurriedly. "Miss Nelson, let me send you off!"

"Thank you, Miss Wood, but we're basically strangers," Irene replied. Rowane looked at Irene's back and was at a loss for words. It seemed that Irene did not really like her!

After the housekeeper cleaned the suite, she proceeded to the bathroom. Since Rowane had nothing to do there, she got up and left the suite. When she had just arrived at the elevator, she heard the housekeeper call from behind, "Miss Wood, wait a minute!"

"What's the matter?" Rowane looked back at her.

"I picked this up in the bathroom. It was probably left by the young lady just now," the housekeeper replied as she handed an emerald pendant to Rowane. Rowane took the emerald pendant casually. Suddenly, she felt a twinge of deja vu.

Why was this emerald pendant exactly the same as hers? The housekeeper went back to the suite and continued to clean it up after handing her the pendant. Rowane's face was still plastered with shock.

She could not believe it; she entered the elevator speedily.

While the elevator was descending, Rowane's heart continued to throb inside her chest. She tried her best to stop herself from getting flustered, but she still couldn't control her mad heartbeat.

Rowane went out of the hotel rapidly and drove back to her apartment. She parked her car downstairs and trotted into her apartment. Before she could even change into her indoor slippers, she went straight to the bedroom.

Rowane panted as she took out a box from the drawer of her bedside table, opening it. There was a green emerald pendant in the box. She put her emerald pendant side-by-side with the one that the housekeeper had given her.

They were exactly the same! What her adoptive parents told her before their death flashed through her mind. "This is the emerald pendant that your mother gave you. As long as you can find the owner of this pendant, you'll find your mother."

"The emerald pendant! My mother! Irene? What's the connection between them?" Rowane wondered.
