You Are The Pursuit of My Life novel Chapter 142

Clearly, Irene meant to point out the fact that Rowane was just one of Edric's 'customers'. Upon hearing this, Rowane's face suddenly turned red. "Irene, don't you dare cross the line!"

"I'm crossing the line? I don't think so!" Irene spread her hands up, feigning an innocent look.

"I'll have you know that our relationship is purely friendship. You won't be able to point any fingers at us!" barked Rowane.

"Whether you two are truly friends or not has nothing to do with me. I'm not interested. If you don't wish to embarrass yourself, then don't use Edric as an excuse to look for me. I hate busybodies. As far as I know, you're nobody to Edric, so please don't get yourself involved in others' businesses."

"Do... Do you think I want to see that face of yours for nothing? If you hadn't hurt Edric so much, I wouldn't even dream of doing this," Rowane spat back at Irene.

"Hurt Edric?" Irene was amused when she heard these words. It was obvious that Rowane couldn't tell her a*s from her

esophagus. "I wouldn't mind if you stole Edric from me, neither would I care if you hurt him, that is of course if you're able to do so."

"Just how shameless you are. You seem to be really proud of yourself. Irene Nelson, I know exactly what sort of person you are. I hope you realize what's best for you and leave Edric immediately. Otherwise, don't blame me for embarrassing you later on," threatened Rowane.

"Embarrassing me? Miss Wood, you really make me wonder what you have on me?" Irene sneered, her eyes glimmering with conceit.

"Shouldn't you know what you did? You stole Lily's boyfriend, made her suffer a miscarriage, and continued to slander her reputation..."

Rowane cursed at Irene in one breath. "You're the cruelest and most ruthless woman I've ever seen. You're also the most pretentious person I've met. One day, I'll reveal your hypocritical face and humiliate you."

Irene broke into a fit of laughter. After hearing Rowane defended Lily, she couldn't help wondering what Lily had given Rowane in exchange.

"Miss Wood, are you mad at the fact that I possess Edric's entirety, or are you seeking

justice for Lily?" asked Irene.

Rowane was so stunned by her words that she was momentarily speechless. She had originally planned to talk to Irene politely. However, things didn't turn out that way. Irene's eyes were full of undisguised contempt and disdain.

"Truthfully, there's no need for you to be mad at me, Miss Wood. Since you're still so young and charming, I'm sure Edric would dream of you if you put in more effort!" Irene chuckled.

"I'm not as shameless as you! I just can't bear to see you snatch someone else's fiance. If you like him, it's okay. Yet, you're using him for your revenge. You have a distorted personality, and you do not want to see other people happy!"

Rowane was so outraged that she no longer held back her words. "You're trying to say that I'm Edric's secret lover, aren't you? But, aren't you also a mistress yourself? What gives you the right to talk about me in that tone? Do you think you're a person better than me?"

Irene couldn't understand what was wrong with people these days. She felt like they lacked basic common sense. How could a mistress try to reprimand another mistress?

"I never said I was a person better than you, Miss Wood, so don't try to play the good cop

here. I've seen a lot of disgusting things these days, but I've never seen a mistress like you coming to seek justice for another mistress. Miss Wood, you're truly making me look at you in a different light. But before you continue on, I think you need to take a good look in the mirror to see if you're capable of doing so first. You might as well have spent your time studying up on how to seduce Edric instead of looking for me!" Irene rolled her eyes at Rowane.

"You!" Rowane was so angry that her entire body trembled with anger. Irene's words were so vicious that they stabbed right into her heart!

"Just because Edric's obsessed with you, it doesn't give you the right to do anything you want. Irene, God is watching you. There's no way you'll live the rest of your life in peace." Rowane was breathless with red fury.

"That's right, God is watching our every move! Miss Wood, let me give you some advice. Edric still hasn't spoiled you rotten yet. Even if he does, that's only for you and him to know. You don't have the right to point fingers at me. Today, I'll let it slide, but next time, if you ever confront me so boldly again, don't blame me for slapping you!" Irene snarled.

"How can you be so arrogant?!" Rowane shouted in her head. Even after Irene's figure disappeared, Rowane continued to tremble in anger at where she was. "How can Irene be so shameless? How could anyone behave like this?"

At the same time, Irene was also infuriated. "Who on earth gave Rowane the courage to challenge me?" Now, she refused to believe that Edric and Rowane were merely just friends.

Before Irene was divorced, Lily would come down to the Myers family every day just to irk her. Now, Rowane was here trying to test her patience. Irene pondered on whether she would ever live a regular, peaceful human life.

Fortunately, she did not intend to have anything to do with Edric anymore. Otherwise, the same cycle would repeat once again.

When Edric returned in the evening, he seemed to be in a good mood. After dinner, they went out for a stroll. Once again, they spoke about Eden. He mentioned he had contacted an expert from a lab and that he would arrange for Eden to be sent here so it’d be easier to care for him.

The only problem was that Lily was still in the scene, and there was a new problem to worry about, Rowane. If Irene chose to believe Edric's words, then that would make her a fool. Looking at how Edric was feigning affection for her, Irene felt a little sick, hence she continued to rebuke his proposals.

Seeing that she wasn't too enthusiastic about the idea, Edric proposed that they travel to see Eden. Irene did not refuse this suggestion of his, since he mentioned that it would only take a few days, plus it would just take another ten days to check if she would have a baby. Thus, she decided to make a choice after knowing the results.

At night, Rowane met up with Marie, ranting angrily about her meeting with Irene. Marie was a little surprised. Her intention behind her constant visits was to make Rowane have a bad impression of Irene. That way, it would be easier for her to carry out her plans in the future. However, she didn't expect Rowane to take the initiative to meet Irene on her own. Although it was risky, Marie was relieved that things hadn't turned out smoothly. If they had a truthful discussion, all her previous efforts would be flushed down the drain.
