You Are The Pursuit of My Life novel Chapter 198

Deborah's ruthlessness made Edric extremely worried for Irene's safety. Since she could be so cruel to his own mother, she would definitely stop at nothing to harm Irene. He had to inform Irene as soon as possible so that she could be more careful.

Edric paid a visit to Irene and told her about Deborah and Logan. Irene was taken aback. When Deborah had first seduced Steven and gave birth to Lily, Irene had just seen her as a horrible person who had no morals. She had never thought that Deborah was actually this vicious and evil.

"She's way too evil. Call the police and arrest her immediately," Irene felt both angry and worried.

Edric shook his head, "We can't call the police! That would be going too easy on them."

"What are you planning to do then?"

"An eye for an eye!" Edric sneered, "They've plotted against us for so long. If we just report them and get them thrown in jail, that would be too lenient towards them. I want them to have a taste of their own medicine."

Margaret's life was still hanging by a thread in the hospital. He was mentally and physically exhausted, yet the culprits were living freely. Edric knew in his heart that throwing them into jail would not change anything. He felt like them truly suffering could not be achieved by death, but rather by destroying their hopes. He wanted them to suffer both mentally and physically, to feel that they were better off dead than alive.

He wanted to use his own means to make those sinners suffer, so he chose not to send them to jail.

Irene understood Edric's pain, and she asked, "What do you need me to help you with?"

"Just by taking good care of yourself and Eden will be the best help you can give me. In case they become desperate, I've arranged several bodyguards for you. Someone will protect you when you go out in the future."

"No, that would make me uncomfortable," Irene shook her head. She would feel uncomfortable having someone following her and watching her every move, so she did not want to go through that.

"No, you must listen to me this time. Deborah is a vicious person. If she tries to do anything to you, the consequences will be unimaginable." Edric insisted, "I will ask them to not get in the way. I'm telling you my plans, just in case you notice them and misunderstand why there are men following you."

"Alright," Seeing that he was insisting Irene had to agree. She was pregnant now, so she hardly went out anyways. Except for taking Eden to the hospital, she mostly stayed at home. It seemed that the existence of bodyguards would not really affect her life.

"Don't tell anyone about Deborah and the others, lest they ruin my plan," Edric warned her again.

"I can't tell Uncle Thomas either?"

"No, keep this matter to yourself."

Meanwhile, just as Jordan was planning to tell Irene about Deborah's affair, David came over. The past few days, he had been investigating the man that Jordan had beat up in the restaurant the other day. He told Jordan that he had found out all three of their identities. The man was the owner of a bar, Gordan Cassady. The two women were respectively his wife and his mistress.

"So they really had an affair. However, didn't you say that they seemed really close? It's rare for a wife to be good friends with her husband's mistress. Additionally, if they were close, why would they want to cause a scene like that at the restaurant?" Jordan was puzzled.

"I also found it to be strange, so I carefully investigated Gordan. I found something. Gordan used to be a gangster. He was involved in a lot of illegal activity and it was only recently in the past two years that he started going on the right track. He opened up a shop in the Western District and has been a law abiding citizen ever since."

"Are we wrongly suspecting him then?" Jordan frowned, "Forget it, take it slow. Keep an eye on him."

He gave Logan's photo to David, "This man has something going on with Mr. Cook's wife. You'd better keep an eye on him. Get a picture of them together if you can."

David took the photo and looked at it in surprise, "This man?"

"Do you know this person?"

"His name is Logan. He and Gordan used to work together. Now the two of them have apparently turned over a new leaf to start a business..."

"What did you say?" Jordan suddenly stood up. He had figured out the connection between Deborah and Logan's relationship and the incident. The answer was obvious.

That night, Jordan went over to Irene's place for dinner. He told her about Deborah and Logan but since she had already heard it all from Edric, she wasn't surprised. The only thing she found odd was that Edric had said Deborah and Logan were conspiring to commit crimes, but Jordan was telling her that Deborah was having an affair with him. Irene had to tell Edric about this.
