You Are The Pursuit of My Life novel Chapter 125

Lily left Edric alone sensibly, albeit feeling rather uneasy. Edric didn't seem to be angry at all; instead, he was treating her as usual. Did he believe her that she was innocent or otherwise?

When she returned home, she told Deborah everything that happened a while ago. Deborah revealed a disparaging smile. "It doesn't matter if he believes it or not. Remember that you should not admit it no matter what happened. Your father will be back soon."

"Mom, Dad has always been favoring Irene over me. If he knew this, he would definitely blame me," Lily groaned worriedly.

"Don't worry. There will be a good show awaiting him when he comes back!"

Steven came back from San Fetillo in the afternoon. His face looked as dark as the thunderstorm when he entered the house. Deborah and Lily were on pins and needles so not to irritate Steven. Deborah was highly experienced and her expression looked as if nothing had happened. Lily, on the other hand, had been like a cat on a hot tin roof all the time. When she made tea for Steven, she even scalded her own hand.

Deborah definitely knew what Lily was worried about. She instructed Lily to return to her room to apply ointments on her wound; meanwhile, she chatted with Steven in the living room to keep him company.

"Nothing happened when I was not at home, right?" Steven took a sip of water and asked.

"Something happened to Irene..." Deborah hesitated.

"What happened to Irene?" Steven put down his cup and looked at Deborah.

Needless to say, Deborah told him about the incident of Irene and Edric in an exaggerated manner. When she was halfway through the story, they heard Lily wailing from upstairs. After that, Lily opened the door, stumbled out, and cried, "I'm going to end my life!"

"What happened?" Deborah stood up at once.

"Irene... Irene is taking revenge on me... The news about me has spread across the net! Read it, and you guys will know what's going on!" Lily stomped her feet and wailed, "It's all because of you guys! I'm doomed! Since my image has now been ruined, what's the point for me to live? It's better for me to die!"

"Shut up your trap! Stop saying that." While Deborah was rebuking Lily, she was running upstairs.

At this time, Maisy came in with the evening newspaper with a nervous and anxious look on her face. "Mr. Cook, something bad happened!"

She handed the newspaper to Steven hastily. Steven took it, looked at it, and saw a huge eye-catching headline, "A Politician's Daughter is Caught Being a Homewrecker!"

The news even stated Lily, Irene, and Edric's name. The reporter got insider news of Lily seducing Edric from some unknown place and exposed everything.

A politician's daughter was actually a homewrecker. It could be imagined the predicament they were in now. Steven's hands were trembling. Before he could finish reading it, he fell back abruptly and fainted.

Deborah let out a scream. Lily immediately stopped crying and came down from the upstairs to help Deborah pinch Steven's philtrum in an attempt to wake him up. After a while, Steven regained his consciousness again.

However, he started to cough non-stop while panting for breath. Deborah was busy rubbing his back, trying to smooth his breathing. Steven then started wheezing. Suddenly, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket to cover his mouth. Right then, Lily shouted, "Dad, you've vomited blood!"

Almost immediately, Steven passed out again.

"Call the driver and send him to the hospital!" Maisy trotted out to call the driver. The Cook family was now in a complete mess.

At the same time, John came to Edric in a hurry and reported, "Mr. Myers, something bad has happened!"

"What?" Edric was surprised. John had always been calm and had never lost his composure. Something terrible must have happened that he was in such a panic. He had a premonition of an imminent disaster.

"T-t-the things that happened between you and Miss Nelson have been exposed." John found himself in a rather awkward position when he reported this. Nonetheless, he continued, "The matter about Miss Cook as a surrogate mother has been known publicly now. It was reported not only on the Internet but also in the newspaper. Everyone's criticizing Miss Cook!"

Upon hearing this, Edric turned on the computer and found that the Internet's most trending event had changed. Previously, the netizens were outraged at Irene for being a mistress, but now they were reproaching him and Lily, as well as Margaret.

The reporter was excellent in writing and at arousing the public's wrath. They described how Irene was being put in a disfavorable position and betrayed in a few thousand words.

With this article, Irene became a victim while Lily became the real mistress. Needless to say, Edric was called a sc*mbag, and Margaret an evil mother-in-law.

Edric was relatively calm when he learned this news. However, he was a little worried about those attacking Lily. This report was going to ruin Lily's reputation completely. It seemed that this matter was getting more and more irksome.

"What should we do now?" John asked.

"Let me think about it!" Edric rubbed his forehead. He had been wishing to cover this matter up, but he didn't expect that it would blow up to such an extent. He could not delay his action any longer and had to solve it immediately.

Kinsey took the newspaper and went into the ward with a smirk. She put the newspaper into Irene's hand and cheered, "Irene, it's so gratifying! It's so gratifying!"

Irene took over the newspaper and saw the huge headline, "A Politician's Daughter is

Caught Being a Homewrecker!"

"Jordan is really amazing. Everything is reversed just in two days. That b*tchy pair will have no place to hide now!" Kinsey laughed heartily.

Irene smiled bitterly. "It's not a thing to be excited for!" The reason she endured all those humiliations silently back then was because she didn't want to expose these disgusting things.
