Revenge Against My Ex-husband novel Chapter 143

Thomas was insecure these days. After thinking about it for a long time, he felt that he had done a very wrong thing. He should not have compromised with Marie just for a moment of peace.

He knew very well what kind of person Marie was. She would never stop meeting him like what she told him. Instead of waiting for her to come to him again to threaten him, he rather thought of a way to deal with her first. After pondering about it, he went to meet Jordan.

Thomas' visit surprised Jordan. Jordan invited him to take a seat and poured a cup of tea for him. Thomas took the tea and had a sip, saying, "The purpose of my visit this time is to ask you for a favor."

"I will try my best as long as I can do it." Jordan was very outright.

"This is very easy for you. I would like to ask you for your help to settle Irene and me abroad."

"Is Irene going to do as you say?" Jordan asked.

"Just help me deal with the migration procedures first. Irene will join by then. After all, her purpose of coming back is only to save Eden," Thomas answered.

"Okay, I'll ask someone to do it right away," Jordan promised.

Thomas was very pleased with Jordan's swiftness. He opened the bag he was carrying and took out a few drawings from it. He placed them in front of Jordan and said, "I won't let you help me for nothing. These are the rewards."

"What's these?" Jordan picked up the drawings and looked at Thomas in surprise. "Isn't this the design of the stadium? Thomas, how could you have this?" Jordan asked.

"I'm Dave. This is the design of the stadium for this sports tournament," Thomas replied.

"You're Dave?" Jordan reacted after a moment of surprise. No wonder he thought Thomas was strange. It turned out that it was the reason.

"The design I gave you is the design of the sub-stadium. I've given the main stadium's design to Marie. She probably will give it to Edric very soon," told Thomas, or more accurately now, Dave.

"Do you want the Myers Group and the Golden Age Group to cooperate in the construction of the stadium for the sports meeting?" Jordan asked.

"No! Although, it will be better if two companies construct the stadium construction of this sports tournament. To be honest, I never thought of letting Edric's company win the bid. The only purpose I designed these was for Irene. Originally, I planned to give all these designs to you, but I didn't expect that there would be such an accident," Thomas replied.

Thomas told him about Marie threatening him. Then, he explained his relationship with Marie and Myra again.

"I am not the real Thomas. The real Thomas died of an accident not long after I returned to San Fetillo. At that time, my parents had passed away, and I was downhearted due to the bankruptcy and the huge compensation. In order to prevent me from being found, Myra asked me to live in Chijmes Building she bought for Thomas temporarily. Only Steven, Myra, and Marie knew the truth, while the others thought I was Thomas. At that time, I just wanted to run away from all the troubles I was caught in, but I didn't expect it to become a drawback," he explained.

"Marie is your sister? I really didn't expect that. Although you are not the real Thomas, you are Irene's uncle after all in terms of seniority. You haven't done anything wrong. Why are you afraid of Marie?" Jordan asked.

"Back then, I lived in seclusion in San Fetillo not only because I was discouraged from my misfortune but also for the loss of my love." Dave sighed.

"I love Myra as deeply as your father, but my kind of love is prohibited. Marie knows my thoughts, and she threatened me with it. If I don't help her, she will expose my feelings for Myra to others. I don't want Myra to be criticized even after her death, and I don't want Irene to know that I'm not her real uncle," Dave continued to say.

"You are not blood-related to Myra. Besides, you never confessed your feelings. I think Irene can understand you," Jordan thought for a moment and comforted him.

"No, she won't. I've spent most of my life like this, and I don't want something unnecessary to happen at this moment. I've carefully thought about Marie's character, and she's not credible. Instead of letting her continue to bother me and bring these pasts out, it's better for me to hide away from everyone first. It's good for everyone in this way."

"Well, since you have made up your mind, leave everything to me. I'll let you know again soon," Jordan promised.

At the same time, when Thomas asked Jordan to plan for their migration, Steven was not at peace either. The chairman of the Tobias Group, Tobias, who absconded with the money, and it had brought Steven a lot of trouble.

When Tobias made outstanding achievements in San Fetillo, Steven was quite close to him. Steven had once bought a share of the Tobias Group and became the silent shareholder. Only he and Tobias knew about it.

As the business of the Tobias Group had always been running very well, Steven's ambition and greed for money grew even larger. Therefore, when Tobias went to him and asked for funds to open a branch company, he gave Tobias a batch of funds from the superiors through special means.

Tobias had promised Steven to return it a month later, but Steven didn't expect that Tobias' company was already in trouble long ago. The so-called opening of a new company was just for scamming him out of money. Tobias absconded abroad with the money right after Steven gave him the money.

The total of the funds that the superior allocated was one billion dollars. How could Steven have so much money to make up this loophole? Therefore, he was in a state of nerves during this time.

Coincidentally, the superior heard the news and demanded to meet him to talk about this matter. The superior had a good relationship with Steven over the past few years. Hence, he asked Steven to find a way to fill up the loophole as soon as possible. Then, he would let this matter go.

"No need," Edric refused. He helped Steven just because of Irene. If Steven weren't Irene's father, he would not have cared about it. Since he had helped Steven, he certainly did not want any mortgage or IOU.

"Don't tell Irene about it. I will lose face if she knows about it." Steven insisted on giving him an IOU and reminded Edric, "Irene has been an obstinate person since she was a child. I don't want her to misunderstand me."

Steven was a typical person who did something terrible yet still wanted to maintain a good reputation. Edric knew better how brazen Steven was. "Forget it. Mr. Cook, I'll take it as your wedding gift for Irene. As for the IOU, you don't have to give me that. I'll ask the finance department to transfer the money to you."

Hearing Edric's words, Steven heaved a sigh of relief. After that, he gave his account number to Edric. After Edric received the account number, he mentioned the marriage between Edric and Irene very enthusiastically, "When are you and Irene going to register your marriage?"

"I can go at any time as long as Irene agrees," Edric answered.

"You'd better go get it done as soon as possible. It's not a good thing to keep dragging it." Steven, whose problem was solved, regained his usual calm and asked, "Why don't you take Irene home for dinner tonight, and I'll do the talking with her?"

Steven took the initiative to show his appreciation to Edric, but Edric was not grateful. Even a fool could see that Irene hated Steven. If he asked Steven to help him at this time, it would be counterproductive. "It's okay, I'll tell her myself," Edric refused.

After chatting for a while, they parted. Edric returned to the company and ordered the finance department to transfer the money to Steven's account. After hearing him finish the call, John couldn't help reminding him, "Mr. Myers, don't you want to inform Miss Nelson about this?"

"Irene hates this kind of thing the most. If I tell her, she will change her attitude towards Steven. Let's leave this matter aside and talk about it later," Edric responded.

While they were talking, someone knocked on the door. Rowane came in and said, "Mr. Myers, I have something to tell you."

Hearing that, John then left the room sensibly. However, Edric signaled him not to go and uttered, "John is no outsider. If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Here's the thing. I received an admission notice from a foreign university and have the thought of pursuing my studies abroad, so..." Rowane was a little nervous. She did not receive any acceptance notice from any foreign university, but Marie hired an agent to send her abroad. She was afraid that Edric would ask her in detail again.

"Do you want to resign and further study abroad?" Edric understood what she meant. "This is a good thing. I support your decision. You can always come to me if you need anything. I will try my best to satisfy your requests."

Rowane smiled and shook her head. "Thank you, Mr. Myers. I don't need anything else."
