You Are The Pursuit of My Life novel Chapter 181

"Irene is vicious? Mom, if she was, she wouldn't have tolerated so much bullying from you. If she was so cruel, would she have moved out with nothing to her name? Would she have endured a mistress and an illegitimate daughter taking her place? Mom, use your brain. The truth is right in front of you, so why can't you tell who's the evil person here?"

"How dare you speak to me that way?" Margaret was so angry that she grabbed the teacup in front of her and threw it on the ground.

Edric looked at her coldly, "I'm not scolding you. I just want you to face the truth. Since you're so free nowadays, you'd better take the time to think about it. Perhaps the person you think is evil is actually a good person, and vice versa."

"I have my own eyes, and I can tell for myself. I don't need your advice!" Margaret shouted at her son.

"I had hoped for that, but let me remind you. Don't hold too much hope for the children in Lily's stomach, I don't want you to end up even more disappointed!" Edric reminded her.

"What do you mean? Do you plan to get rid of the babies in Lily's belly?" Margaret straightened her neck and shouted, "You unfilial son! If you dare touch the babies in Lily's belly, I'll kill you!"

Edric frowned, "I won't touch them. If she wants to give birth, that's up to her, just make sure that she doesn't regret doing so."

Seeing Edric admit he wouldn't touch Lily's babies, Margaret was so happy that she had no time to care about her son's unreasonable behavior just now.

Although Irene had said that there was no need to hire bodyguards, Kinsey and Jordan were still worried about her safety. They both hated Lily. The only reason Lily could act this way was because Lily was pregnant with Edric's children. Plus, she was good at putting on an act in front of Margaret, so Margaret always supported her without any hesitation. Jordan would love to see how brazen she could be without Margaret's support. He frowned as a plan began to form in his head.

He had to find a way to let Margaret see that Lily wasn't as obedient and kind as she seemed. As long as Margaret disliked Lily, Lily would never dare to act so boldly.

Since Lily was still in the hospital recuperating, Jordan bribed the nurse and asked her to purposely provoke Lily to make her angry.

Lily was always kind and considerate in front of Margaret, but she did not need to pretend in the hospital. Since she was already in a bad mood, she would naturally vent her anger out.

So, Lily had scolded the nurse harshly in the ward. The video of her cursing was sent to Margaret, who stared at Lily in the video for a long time before returning to her senses.

Was this the same Lily who was always so gentle and obedient in front of her? Margaret herself was no push over. When it came to making a scene, she was very experienced herself. However, she was not one to spout foul language. Lily, on the other hand, was a completely different story.

She had learned a lot of swear words from Cat Alley since she was a child. Although Deborah had sent her to a disciplinary school to change her attitude, that only changed her physical appearance. Inside, she was still the same timid Lily from Cat Alley.

Her gentleness, kindness, and generosity were only aimed at the noble ladies and daughters of the upper class. She saw no need to be polite to the people who were below her.

For Lily, the nurse was someone who had no power, yet she dared to provoke her. Lily was not courteous to her at all, and she showed her real personality. A lady and a shrew, one kind, one vicious. These two extremes of Lily's personalities made Margaret dumbfounded.

Margaret was not a fool. She suddenly realized that Lily might have been pretending this entire time, and that she actually was not the gentle and kind person she knew after all.

Being aware of this, Margaret began to feel uncomfortable. However, Lily still had her two grandsons in her belly, so no matter how uncomfortable she was with her, she would wait until after Lily gave birth to think about it.

Marie decided to go to find Thomas for Lily's sake. Thomas was now living in Jordan's villa, and she did not have Thomas' phone number. It would not be easy for her to meet him. In the end, Marie decided to wait for a few days near Jordan's villa. Finally, one day while he was on his way out to run errands, Marie blocked his way and said, "Thomas, I have something to tell you."

"Didn't you say that we have nothing to do with each other anymore?" As soon as he saw Marie, Thomas realized that what he had feared was coming true. Marie was not a trustworthy person at all.

"We share the same blood after all, so we're siblings. How could we not have anything to do with each other?" Marie said with a smile.

Thomas looked at her disgustedly, "Why don't you cut to the chase?"

"It's not convenient for us to talk here. Let's find a place to sit down and talk," Marie pointed to the tea room next to her and said, "Let's talk there."

Thomas knew that he could not avoid this, so he followed her into the tea room silently.

"Thomas, what do you want to drink? Earl grey or english breakfast?"

Thomas sneered, "Just tell me what you want, I still have errands to run."

Marie took no notice of his annoyance. She ordered a cup of earl grey tea for him, "I wouldn't be here if I had a choice. I've come to you because of Irene. Can you take her away?"

"Is Irene getting in your way?"

"It's not that she's in my way. It's because I'm worried about her safety," Marie pretended to be innocent. "You know what kind of person Deborah is. Now that Irene is blocking her daughter's bright future, I'm worried that she'll do something to Irene."

"Why are you being so kind?" Thomas knew that Marie wasn't being genuine, she had to have some kind of ulterior motive.

"I'm really just trying to be nice. Anyway, Irene is my niece. I can't bear to see her in danger. Thomas, just listen to me and take Irene and the child away."

"You think I don't want to? I had wanted to move abroad with Irene, and I'd even handled all the visas. However, there was an unexpected issue. If Margaret hadn't sued Irene, Irene would not be restricted to leave the country now," Thomas sighed, "Now we have to wait for a year."
