Revenge Against My Ex-husband

Chapter 179 A Violent Beating

"Don't you hate me because of my mother? Irene, have some common sense. It was your good-for-

nothing mother who could not hold onto her man. So why are you directing your hate towards me? As

for Edric, there's no smoke without fire. If he was that innocent, do you think someone would be

scheming against him? You're so ruthless over a man. One day, karma will get you," Lily knew what

Irene's soft spots were and she was purposely provoking her.

Irene was so angry that she couldn't help but slap Lily across her face. Lily covered her face and didn't

fight back, but she stared fiercely at Irene's stomach. She couldn't make the first move against Irene

right now. She had to provoke Irene first so that she could push Irene down in the name of self-

defense.

"Look at your son. He's got such a serious illness at such a young age. It's all because of you, his

mother..."

Before she could finish her words, a voice suddenly rang out, "B*tch, you've got some nerve. How dare

come here with your slander!"

Kinsey did not see Irene when she returned home so she guessed that Irene had brought Eden here

for a walk. She came over and saw Lily attacking Irene. She could not bear it and slapped Lily hard.

"This b*tch has already been so shameless. She should just go into seclusion somewhere!" Kinsey

thought to herself. She hated the fact that Lily had the nerve to show up here to provoke Irene.

Her anger didn't stop there, after the slap, she kicked Lily hard, "Don't you like to kneel? Kneel down

and ask for forgiveness!"

With the kick, Lily immediately knelt down. Kinsey grabbed her hair and gave her another slap. Lily

covered her belly with her hands and kept cursing Irene and Kinsey. Kinsey was shouting furiously,

"You best believe I'm going to knock that baby right out of you, you b*tch!"

Irene was shocked. Kinsey's temper was no joke. She could actually lose control and caused Lily to

have a miscarriage. That wouldn't be good. She hurriedly stopped her, "Kinsey, take it easy. Don't hurt

her belly."

Kinsey was not stupid. Naturally, she knew what Irene meant. Lily was the secretary's daughter. If she

were to lose her baby, she would definitely be in trouble. So she avoided her stomach and instead

continued to slap Lily in the face.

Lily was being slapped so hard that she screamed. Finally, she couldn't bear the pain anymore and

began to scream, "Tommy, you're dead! I'm being beaten but you're not coming to my rescue?" As she

scolded, a man hurriedly got out of the car and pulled them away.

With backup, Lily pointed at Kinsey and said confidently, "Kill this b*tch!"

Irene sneered, "You'd better think about it carefully. If you dare to make a move, I will let you get a taste

of what prison is like!" Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Tommy was not stupid. Irene was not someone he could mess with. If he dared to make a move today,

Jordan, Edric, and even Steven would kill him.

He and Lily were there that day not to fight. He lowered his voice and reminded her, "Miss Cook, be

careful of your health. We'd better go to the hospital to have a checkup!"

Lily knew why Tommy didn't dare to make a move. Her face was swollen and burning with pain, but

under Tommy's reminder, she covered her stomach and cried, "Oh, my stomach, send me to the

hospital!"

Tommy hurriedly helped Lily into the car and started the car to leave. Kinsey spat at them, "B*tch, count

yourself lucky that that's all you got!"

Lily was sent to the hospital. After the examination, the doctor said that she had suffered mild injuries

and told her to rest in bed. Deborah rushed to the hospital when she heard the news, "Are you trying to

die? Why would you go looking for Irene?"

"She's been too quiet. I went to provoke her a little. I didn't expect that b*tch Kinsey to come and help

her," Lily touched her swollen, numb face and said hatefully, "If I had the chance, I would definitely kill

that b*tch Kinsey."

"Take care of your body and the children in your belly first," Deborah felt distressed upon seeing her

daughter getting beaten up, "I will send someone to deal with Kinsey."

"Mom, why don't you just get your men to deal with Irene too? Then, I'll have one less thing to worry

about!"

"We can't touch her now or we'll be in trouble. Kinsey, on the other hand, has no special background

nor does she have a lot of money. It'll be easy to get rid of her!" Deborah's face was full of resentment.

"I knew you would say that," Lily took out her mobile phone and handed it to Deborah, "What do you

think?"

Deborah turned on the video and showed a smirk on her face, "Yes, you've acted well. However, don't

take such risks again. If Irene really had hit your stomach, you would have lost more than you had to

gain."

"I know. I was afraid that Irene would hurt my belly so I tied a few sponges all around it," Lily was quite

proud. "When the time comes, I'll show this video to Dad. I want him to watch how Irene viciously hit

me and listen to what he has to say."

Steven heard that Lily was beaten until she had been hospitalised so he also went to the hospital.

When he saw how swollen her face was, he was shocked. "Who hit her?"

"Irene hit her," Deborah saw Steven starting to cry soundlessly and added, "Lily had it coming, and I

don't blame her."

"Irene did this?" Steven was shocked. It really surprised him that Irene hit her. He looked at Lily

suspiciously and said, "Didn't I warn you to not look for her?"

"I didn't go looking for her. She was the one who asked me to meet her," Lily grimaced in pain.

"She already knew that I was pregnant. I didn't want to see her at first, but I felt guilty and wanted

myself to her. I wanted to beg her to let me go since we're sisters. But then Irene refused, she scolded

me for being shameless and even scolded Mom. Then she beat me, and even asked her friend to

come beat me."

Steven just frowned. Although he was very distressed by Lily's bruised face, he still did not believe that

Irene would hit someone, "Irene is not that unreasonable. You must have provoked her."

Lily knew that Steven would defend Irene. Fortunately, she had prepared for it. She handed the phone

to Steven and said, "Dad, I was afraid that you would suspect me, so I asked the driver to go with me

and to record it on the spot. Look at this."

Steven took the phone and watched the video. He saw Lily kneeling in front of Irene and Irene slapping

Lily in the face. Lily did not fight back. Then, Kinsey jumped out, kicking and punching Lily. She had

purposely turned the sound off so that he could not hear her scolding, all he could see was the fighting.

Steven frowned. It was normal for Irene to be angry. He had been so worried to tell Irene before this.

Now that she already knew, he decided to go to see Irene and tell her what happened to Lily. He

wanted Irene to understand that Lily and her shared the same blood. Perhaps Irene would soften her

heart.

Thinking of this, Steven just put the mobile phone on the table, "Lily, take care of yourself. I'll talk to

Irene!"

After Steven left, Lily was so angry that she smashed the phone on the ground, "Dad is too biased. I

was beaten up so badly but he didn't even say a single bad word about her. It's so infuriating!"

Deborah picked up the mobile phone, "It's normal for him to defend her, that's why I told you not to

provoke her. When dealing with the enemy, you either defeat him with one move or lurk and wait for the

right time. Now, you're pregnant. As long as Margaret wants the child in your belly, you won't lose."

As she spoke, the door of the ward was pushed open, and Marie entered the ward. The first thing she

saw was Lily's bruised nose and swollen face. When she heard that it was Irene who had beaten her

up, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth, "How can that b*tch be so cruel?"

"She has been cruel for a long time. Are you only realizing this now?" Deborah sneered, "Back then,

she was such a young child, yet she went through such lengths to force me and Lily away. Let alone

now. Irene is the most vicious of us all. She either stays quiet or she goes all out ruthlessly."

"Ruthlessly, huh? Let's see who's more cruel then!" Marie left angrily. She had always regarded Lily as

her daughter. Now seeing her injured, her heart ached, and she vowed inwardly, "Irene, just you wait. I

won't let you go this time!"

With her injuries, Lily was recuperating in the hospital. However, Edric asked John to conduct another

investigation due to his suspicions. John hadn't paid attention to her period calendar when he

investigated the matter. However, after some questioning, he confirmed that Lily needed to be in her

period to carry out the examination. Hence, the likelihood of Edric and Lily having s*x was practically

zero.

What Edric needed to know, was how Lily got pregnant.

If they didn't have s*x, that meant that she must have used IVF. However, she could not have done it

right away. They must have had to store his sperm, and the safest place for that would be the hospital.

However, that night, Lily had left in a car after exiting his house. He went to the Traffic Bureau to double

check her route, but she had indeed returned home.

Edric was worried that Lily might have given the stolen sperm to Marie, so he also investigated Marie.

However, he also found that Marie had never even been to the hospital.

Strange, since they had not been to the hospital to preserve the sperm, where did the sperm come

from?

What surprised Edric and John the most was that there was no record of Lily's surgery. Did the baby

just drop out of the sky?

Just as John was investigating the hospital again, a nurse told John that she had seen Marie in the

operating room of the hospital that night. At that time, she asked what Marie was doing. Marie

answered that she was here to take some stuff and the nurse had not paid much attention to it.

According to the timeline, that night Marie must have carried out the surgery on Lily. Howewver, Edric

still failed to figure out where they got the sperm from.

"Could it be that they used someone else's sperm?" Edric was shocked by this idea. It seemed that he

had to check carefully where the sperm had originated from.

Irene and Kinsey went home. Kinsey told Thomas angrily what Lily had done today, which shocked

Thomas. He reminded Irene, "Don't go so far from home alone in the future. What if they had bad

intentions and tried to do something to you? What will you do then?"

Kinsey also agreed, "It's a good thing that I got there in time today. If not, who knows what that b*tch

would have tried. Irene, you must be more careful."

Irene nodded, "I'll be more careful from now on."

In the evening, Jordan came over to eat and Kinsey repeated her story again. Jordan laughed and

gave Kinsey a thumbs up, "Well done!"

Then, he said to Irene, "Be careful next time. It seems that they won't stop harassing you. I'll get two

bodyguards to follow you in case of any accidents in future."

"There's no need to hire bodyguards. I'll just try not to go out in the future."

As they chatted, Steven called. He said he had wanted to see Irene and he was waiting for her at a tea

room outside the villa.

"It seems that that b*tch has complained, so he's here to question you," Kinsey guessed.

"So what? Let's see what he plans to do," Irene went to see Steven angrily.

Seeing Irene approaching him, Steven took out a key out from his pocket and handed it to her with a

smile, "I have something for you."
