Revenge Against My Ex-husband

Chapter 50 When Had You Ever Won

"Why?" Jordan glared at Nathan, "Don't think that I don't know about your ulterior motives. Let's

compete fairly now."

"Jordan, you're not qualified to compete fairly with me." Nathan didn't take him seriously at all. "Would

the Reed Family agree to let you, the young master, marry a divorced woman?"

"Would the White Family agree to let you marry a divorced woman?" Jordan retorted derisively.

Nathan's facial expression changed. "This matter has nothing to do with you. I will handle it myself."

"Nathan, I'm different from you. You are the young master who bears the hope of the Tang family. If you

insist on having your way, those old guys in the Tang family would be infuriated by you. But I'm

different. I'm just the most useless person in the Reed Family, and no one will keep an eye on me."

"I can fight them till the end." Nathan's eyes darkened.

"But Irene won't waste time with you." Jordan snickered frivolously. "You're a gentleman, unlike me. I've

always been a petty person, so I have petty methods. If the old guys in the Reed Family get an

offspring, wouldn't they be overjoyed?"

"Why are you so petty?" Nathan glared at him. "Jordan, don't play games with me. If I find out that you

bully Irene, you know the consequences!"

"Nathan, you don't have to huff and puff at me. If Irene liked you, she wouldn't have waited until today.

In my opinion, you have already been eliminated!" Jordan was very confident in himself.

"Give it a rest. You're a notorious womanizer, and you aren't Irene's type at all. What she hates the

most is men with wandering eyes like you." Nathan didn't hold back at all.

Upon hearing this, Jordan didn't get angry. Instead, he brought up another topic. "Nathan, who is

Irene's ex-husband?"

"Go ask her yourself."

"If she had told me, would I ask you?" Jordan glared at him and said, "Tell me, I'm begging you."

"Why do you want to know that?"

"I'm going to teach that old guy a lesson and let him know how serious the consequences of cheating!"

His words made Nathan laugh. "I can't reveal it. I promised Irene."

"Tell me, is that guy in San Fetillo?"

Nathan nodded, and Jordan's face was full of excitement. "Is he a businessman?"

Nathan nodded, and Jordan asked again, "How is the business scale?"

"It's huge!" Nathan answered.

"As for as I know, there's only one divorced man with a large scale business, and he's Edric. Irene's ex-

husband is Edric?" Jordan thought about it and shook his head. "That can't be. If he was Edric, how

could Steven hand his second daughter to him as well?"

Nathan was shocked by his speculation and soon relieved when he saw that he shot down the idea.

"Alright now, it's about time. You can go back. I'm going to rest!"

The next day, Nathan went to the Golden Age Group. At the entrance of the president's office, he saw

Irene standing outside the hall. When she saw him, she pointed at the office with a smirk.

"What happened?" Nathan was confused.

"Miss Lilith has arrived at the company." Irene lowered her voice.

Nathan burst into laughter. When Irene saw him coming, she was not longer in the mood to watch the

show. "Let's go to my office!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the door was opened. Jordan glared at them fiercely and said,

"What sort of assistant are you? How can you not report to me the arrival of such an important client?"

Upon seeing Jordan's wrinkled clothes and the red lipstick marks on his face and neck, Irene almost

laughed out loud. How intense was it for him to appear like this?

But the duration was too short, wasn't it? It had only been a few minutes since Lilith entered the office,

but he quickly came out. Could it be that Jordan did it early?

Jordan didn't care about what she was thinking. He reached out to grab Nathan's hand and dragged NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

him into the office next to him. While walking there, he told Irene, "Clean up my office."

Irene stood outside for a long time before she opened the door. There was nothing to clean up in the

room. It was still as neat as before. Lilith sat on the sofa with her clothes in disarray. Seeing her coming

in, she looked very terrible.

Irene put on a show of taking Jordan's cup and left. Lilith had no interest in staying, so she packed up

and left the Golden Age Group.

In the office on the other side, Nathan pointed at Jordan as he laughed and said, "Jordan, look at what

you've become."

"What are you laughing at? I'm perfectly clean. If it were you, would you have been able to sit still as I

did?"

"Perfectly clean? You look like you just had some." Nathan stopped laughing. "Your clothes are in

disarray, and you have lipstick marks all over your face. How intense it must be!"

"No, I didn't."

"Who would believe you?" While they spoke, Irene pushed the door open and walked in with two cups

of tea in her hand. She walked straight to Jordan and Nathan and put down the tea.

Jordan looked Irene up and down carefully. When he saw her lowering her head and looking down, he

felt a little flustered. Just now, Lilith kissed him as soon as she entered the door. At that time, Irene was

standing by the side. He didn't know if she would be angry.

No, he had to show his stance. "Call the front desk right away. Don't let just anyone come into the

company!"

Irene was very obedient and immediately grabbed the phone on the desk to dial. "Bryan, Mr. Reed said

not to let just anyone come into the company in the future!"

Bryan had a good relationship with Irene. "Sister Ye, I didn't let just anyone in. Miss Lilith was specially

ordered to be let in by Mr. Reed."

Irene looked at Jordan, who was a little embarrassed. "Tell him not to let her in from now on."

Irene repeated Jordan's words, "Mr. Reed said don't let her in from now on."

"I see!" Bryan replied.

Irene hung up the phone, and the phone Jordan gave her rang. She glanced at Jordan and asked, "Mr.

Reed, is it a call from Miss Lilith?"

"You can pick it up by yourself!"

When Irene turned on her hands-free, Lilith's voice sounded, "Miss Nelson, I have a question to ask

you."

"What's the question?"

"Is there anything wrong with Mr. Reed's body?"

"No? Mr. Reed is in good health!"

"What I mean is whether something happened during the car accident last time? For example, his

erectile functions?"

Irene said seriously, "I'm just an assistant. I'm not aware of the president's private affairs."

Lilith hung up the phone with disappointment. After Irene hung up the phone, Nathan laughed out loud

while Jordan felt speechless.

After Nathan came back, Edric was in a bad mood. According to John's investigation, there wasn't any

serious matter that made Nathan return, so it was clear that Irene was the reason behind his return to

San Fetillo.

Edric's eyes darkened. He knew about the relationship between Nathan and Irene very clearly. If Old

Madam Tang hadn't threatened Irene with Nathan's inheritance, Irene wouldn't have broken up with

Nathan.

That had always been his sore point. Irene chose him not because of how much she loved him but

because she wanted to help Nathan. Although they are in a good relationship after marriage, Edric

knew very well that Nathan was a sore point in Irene's heart that couldn't be touched.

He had been attentively safeguarding their hard-earned relationship, but the result was that their

relationship wasn't something that could be preserved just by being attentive. Irene's heart had never

belonged to him.

Edric sighed, and his phone suddenly rang. It turned out to be Steven calling. He said that he bought

fresh seafood at home and asked him to have a drink with him. Even if Edric could refuse Lily, but he

couldn't refuse Steven, so he agreed.

Since he was going to dine with him, he couldn't go empty-handed. Edric ordered John to buy a gift

and went to the Cook family after work. He spent more than an hour on the road and finally arrived at

the Cook family's home at seven o'clock in the evening.

Lily had been looking around at the door and saw Edric's car appear. She ran over happily and said,

"Dad thought something came up and you couldn't come anymore."

"Since I promised uncle that I would come over, how could I not come?" As he spoke, Edric took out

the gifts bought by John from the trunk. Lily's face was full of joy. She thought that Edric had arrived so

late because he went to buy gifts. "The nutritional supplements you bought for mom last time haven't

been finished yet."

As she spoke, Deborah also came out. "It is enough for me that you come here. Why did you have to

spend so much money?"

Edric smiled politely. "That's what I should do!"

After entering the living room, he saw that the housekeeper had already set the dishes. Steven told her,

"Bring out my treasured wine. I'll have a good drink with Edric today!"

"Dad, Edric has a weak stomach." Lily reminded him. At that time, Edric's stomach was damaged

because of Irene's daily buying and drinking. Even now, his stomach still suffered flare-ups.

"Girl, do you think your father is a drunkard? We're just drinking a little for entertainment." Steven

chuckled. "As expected, a grown girl can't be kept at home. You're siding with an outsider when you

aren't even married yet?"

"Dad!" Lily gave Steven a coy look and glanced at Edric. He smiled but said nothing. Even though she

had been with him for such a long time, she had never seen any other expression on his face. He was

always smiled so gently as if he never lost his temper.

Although this made Edric seem gentle and approachable, it wasn't genuine, as if he was wearing a

mask that people couldn't see through.

Everyone said that Edric was kind and gentle to her, but Lily knew it wasn't a good sign. If he had to

hide his joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness in front of her, she knew very well that he was resisting

intimacy with her.

She suddenly felt a little bitter inside. She was indeed nothing when compared to Irene! Even though

Irene had left the house without a penny, had she ever won against her?

After dinner, Edric and Steven went to the study. For his daughter's future happiness, Steven needed to

give Edric an account of the previous urban construction incident.

It was the first time Edric entered Steven's study. He sat down on the sofa of the study. Deborah sent

tea in person, then closed the door and went out.

After Steven explained what had happened last time, he said that a sports event was about to be held

in San Fetillo. After that sports event, he would try to obtain the urban construction project for Edric.

Edric originally wasn't that curious about the urban construction project that he didn't obtain. But he

didn't expect Steven had given him such a big compensation, which made him feel the things couldn't

be that simple.

Jordan must have used some underhanded tactics to secure the urban construction project. He

suddenly thought of how Steven had met with Irene. Did that matter have anything to do with Irene?

Yet thinking about it further, he felt that it was impossible. How could Irene influence Steven?

While they were talking, Steven's phone rang, so he interrupted the conversation with Edric and began

to answer it. It seemed to be something about work, and he spoke on the phone for a long time. Edric

felt a little bored, so he picked up a book on Steven's desk and flipped through it.

But he didn't expect that a photo would fall from the inside. Edric picked up the photo and was ready to

put it back in the book, but he froze as if he had been electrified when he saw the person in the picture.
