You Are The Pursuit of My Life novel Chapter 178

Finishing her sentence, Kinsey left, leaving only the sound of her high heels clickclacking. She got in the car and started the engine. In the rearview mirror, she saw Joanne remaining still in place and staring in her direction. Kinsey snorted inwardly. Everyone's sweetheart? She was nothing but a show-off. It was Irene who did not fight with others. It was also her bad luck to have bumped into Joanne.

Kinsey started the car and drove away, humming. On the way, she pondered a while before calling Jordan, "Your fiance was at the entrance of the TV station and she stopped me. She didn't want me to have any ulterior motives towards you."

"Really?" Jordan laughed. Joanne had gone to look for Kinsey? With Kinsey's temper, Joanne must have been devastated. He was very interested in what Kinsey had done to Joanne, so he asked, "How did you deal with her?"

"What are you talking about? I was so terrified of her, that I burst into tears on the spot. I'm immediately calling you right after to complain," Kinsey acted pitifully.

"Humph! Are you the kind of person who would be so easily terrified?" Jordan wasn't convinced at all.

"Haha, you don't believe me? Who am I kidding? I wouldn't believe myself either. I just told her that I like how handsome you are. She got so angry that she grew dumbfounded. You should've seen her. She was probably surprised by my boldness."

After hanging up the phone, Jordan frowned. Joanne really was not someone who would change her character so easily. It seems that he could not let her stay any longer. He had to send her back."

After thinking about it, Jordan called Nathan and told him about Joanne's situation. He wanted Nathan to find a way and send Joanne back.

After hearing the news, Nathan was also horrified and told Old Mrs. White immediately. She was outraged, she knew that this granddaughter of hers was not easy to deal with, but she did not expect her to be so troublesome. She immediately called Joanne and asked her to return quickly.

Joanne did not dare to disobey Old Mrs. White's request, so she had no choice but to pack up and go back to Mencodia.

After seeing Irene, Edric went home in confusion. He went and got the security footage of that night and watched it again. Lily was wearing a skirt that day. When she helped him upstairs, she did not bring anything along with her. When she came out, she was empty-handed too. In that case, how was his sperm stolen?

Edric was afraid that he had missed something, so he took the security footage to the company and checked it with his Technology Department staff. The staff also verified that Lily came out empty-handed.

How on earth did Lily get pregnant with the child? Edric couldn't figure it out.

However, Edric thoroughly understood that the reason why Lily was trying so hard to have relations with him was not that because she loved him but that he had hundreds of millions of property.

Edric sneered. Lily, who only wanted his family property, had made a fatal mistake. He would not give her a penny of his family's property.

In order to eliminate any hope of her getting anything, he would leave all the property under his name to Eden, Irene, and the baby in Irene's belly. He wanted to see if Lily would still pester him if he were a broke man.

Edric was a man of his word, and he immediately called a lawyer to draft the documents needed to transfer his property. Margaret soon caught wind of this matter. She immediately called Edric to come home, but Edric ignored her. Margaret didn't favor Loraine very much during this period, so she asked the guards to send her to the company instead.

Seeing Edric, Margaret got teary- eyed and began to question, "What on earth are you doing, giving all your property to others without my permission?"

"Do I need to have your permission to give my children my property?" Edric asked.

"They're still so young. If you give them your property, they won't be able to manage it." Margaret reasoned with Edric.

"Aren't I in charge? As long as I'm here, what are you afraid of?" Edric stood his ground.

"That won't work either. If that woman, Irene, does something and steals your shares, what will you do?" Margaret tried to plant some doubts into Edric.

"I don't know whether Irene will play tricks on me or not, but I know why you are so agitated. Don't worry, as I won't touch your shares," Edric sneered.

"Are you kidding me? I'm not doing this for the property. Isn't all my property yours anyway?" Margaret got mad at his words.

"I wouldn't dare to take your property. If I could, I would rather be born into another family. At least I wouldn't feel the pain of being tricked by my own mother."

"What did I do to you?" Margaret was getting a little guilty. What did Edric mean? Did he know something? Thinking that Lily wouldn't be so stupid as to tell her son the truth about the pregnancy at this time, she got confident enough and refuted his bravado.

"I'm asking you now, how did Lily get pregnant with that child?" Edric was angry when he saw that his mother still wanted to be perfunctory.

"You know all of that now? Lily is pregnant not because you got drunk with her, but..." Margaret had planned to tell Edric about Lily's pregnancy for a while, but she didn't expect Edric to know about it in advance. Since that was the case, she wanted to pretend to not know, just to see what her son would do.

"I got drunk? Do you still want to deny it now?" Edric interrupted Margaret. He had no words for Margaret anymore.

"Let me ask you, what did you and Marie want to achieve by sitting in the living room and letting Lily in my room?"

I..." Margaret now knew that she couldn't deny it any longer. "If you had listened to me and hadn't insisted on dating Irene, would I have done this?"

"What have I done to deserve a mother like you? Everything I have ever loved, you've destroyed. And everything I've hated, you do your best to stuff it to me. Are you even my mother?" Edric was furious at Margaret.
