You Are The Pursuit of My Life novel Chapter 87

Edric rushed into the house and was met with chaos. He first separated Kinsey and Loraine who were now actively fighting each other.

Then he saw Irene pressing Margaret down on the sofa with her hands tightly gripped around Margaret's neck. Margaret was getting choked and her eyes were rolling upwards. Aghast, Edric stepped forward to pull Irene away.

Margaret was struggling for air with Irene's hands grappling around her neck. For a second, she thought she was going to die. When she could finally breathe, she gasped as she took in mouthfuls of air.

"Mom, are you okay?" Edric immediately went to her to help her catch her breath. Margaret was still puffing and panting as she looked at him. Here came her savior!

"Edric, you came right on time. Look at this little b*tch! She came to my house to attack me! She wants to kill me!" Margaret sniveled.

Seeing Margaret's disheveled hair and the red mark around her neck, Edric was furious. He turned his head and glared at Irene. "Irene Nelson, what are you doing? Huh?"

"Edric Myers, why don't you ask your mother what she's done?" Irene huffed and glowered at Margaret fiercely as if she wanted to swallow the latter whole.

"Mom, what did you do again?" Edric looked at Margaret again.

"I didn't do anything. This little b*tch broke into the house and hit me without any warning. Argh, my head! I'm so dizzy!" Margaret whined.

"You're still playing dumb! Aren't you the one who kidnapped my son? Margaret Moore, God is watching you. You're going to be punished for what you've done!" Irene declared.

"I didn't kidnap her son. Edric, believe me, I really didn't kidnap her son!" Margaret pleaded.

"Stop acting. Last time, you had hired a hitman to take him away. You must've done it again today. If anything happens to him, I'll make sure you pay it with your life!"

While they were fighting, Kinsey's phone rang. "You've found Eden? Okay. Well be back soon." Her face written with surprise.

Everyone had heard Kinsey. Irene was dumbfounded with joy. "Eden's really been found?"

"Yes, they found him. Apparently he fell into a ditch at the hospital." Kinsey grabbed Irene and headed for the door. "Let's go back and have a look!"

Margaret jolted up and stopped Irene. "Edric, you heard that? Her son has been found; I didn't do anything this time. But she barged in here and hit me. I won't just take this! Call the police now and let them teach this b*tch a lesson. She trespassed on our property and assaulted me! I won't let her off the hook until I see her in jail!"

"Irene, you have to apologize to my mom!" Edric reached out and grasped Irene's hand. Irene had barged in and hit Margaret. If Margaret really took this matter to the police, things would not end well for Irene.

"Why should I apologize?" Irene snorted. "Even if she didn't do it this time, she did hire people to abduct my son the last time. She even called and threatened me to leave San Fetillo. Why should I apologize to a person who threatened Eden's safety?"

"Where's the evidence?" Margaret shouted fiercely. "Edric, she's talking nonsense. I've never done anything like that at all."

"Irene, no matter what happened last time, it's wrong for you to barge into the house and hit her. I want you to apologize at this instant!" Edric stared at Irene.

"Edric, I will never apologize to her!" Irene huffed and shook off Edric's hand. He grabbed her again and said, "I won't let you go if you don't!"

"Edric, Aunt Margaret, please listen to me. Irene was just anxious because she was desperate to find her son. She had no intention to hurt you, Aunt Margaret. Please, let her go this one time!" Lily, who had been silent, suddenly pleaded on behalf of Irene.

Irene scoffed at Lily's act. "I don't need you to stand up for me. Keep your fake kindness to yourself."

"Look at her! Look at how arrogant she is! That's unacceptable!" Margaret trembled in exasperation.

"Lily, you're just too kind! You don't have to speak up for this b*tch. Back then, I wanted to put her in jail for causing you a miscarriage but you stopped me. Even at this moment, I can still feel my fury churning inside me just at the thought of it. If this b*tch hadn't pushed you, my grandchild would be three years old now. She's such a vile, d*mned woman! Not only does she not repent, but she even shows up at my home and attacks me. I'm reporting this to the police to arrest her!"

She picked up the phone and was about to call the police. Lily stepped forward and stopped her. "Aunt Margaret, please spare her this time! I'm begging you!"

Then she turned to look at Edric and said, "Edric, help me talk to her!"

"Mom, forget about this. Just drop it," Edric said. "You guys should leave now!"

Irene was worried about Eden, so she turned around and left with Kinsey. Margaret rushed up and grabbed her. "No! We can't let her go! I demand an explanation."

Lily quickly came up and held Margaret back while she spoke, "Please let her go!" Nevertheless, Margaret was still baring her teeth at Irene. As the havoc continued on, Lily accidentally stepped on Irene's foot. Irene felt as if Lily's high heel was about to fracture her toes.

Irene grimaced in pain and without thinking, she raised her arm to slap Lily. Unfortunately, Margaret was the one who came forward. With a loud slap, Irene's palm landed squarely on Margaret's face. Edric's expression changed instantly. "Irene Nelson, you've gone too far!"

"How could you do that?" Lily looked at Irene in shock. Irene then scowled at her fiercely. She clearly saw that Lily was the one who pushed Margaret forward. "You b*tch!"

"She slapped me, and called me a..." Margaret was so irate that she stumbled back and passed out.

"Mom..." "Aunt Margaret..." Edric and Lily both held Margaret. Among the chaos, Irene and Kinsey strode out and left.

They hurried back to the hospital. The nurse who took care of Eden began to complain when she saw them, "Where were you two? What took you guys so long?"
