Revenge Against My Ex-husband

Chapter 143 Thought Of A Way To Deal With It

Thomas was insecure these days. After thinking about it for a long time, he felt that he had done a very

wrong thing. He should not have compromised with Marie just for a moment of peace.

He knew very well what kind of person Marie was. She would never stop meeting him like what she told

him. Instead of waiting for her to come to him again to threaten him, he rather thought of a way to deal

with her first. After pondering about it, he went to meet Jordan.

Thomas' visit surprised Jordan. Jordan invited him to take a seat and poured a cup of tea for him.

Thomas took the tea and had a sip, saying, "The purpose of my visit this time is to ask you for a favor."

"I will try my best as long as I can do it." Jordan was very outright.

"This is very easy for you. I would like to ask you for your help to settle Irene and me abroad."

"Is Irene going to do as you say?" Jordan asked.

"Just help me deal with the migration procedures first. Irene will join by then. After all, her purpose of

coming back is only to save Eden," Thomas answered.

"Okay, I'll ask someone to do it right away," Jordan promised.

Thomas was very pleased with Jordan's swiftness. He opened the bag he was carrying and took out a

few drawings from it. He placed them in front of Jordan and said, "I won't let you help me for nothing.

These are the rewards."

"What's these?" Jordan picked up the drawings and looked at Thomas in surprise. "Isn't this the design

of the stadium? Thomas, how could you have this?" Jordan asked.

"I'm Dave. This is the design of the stadium for this sports tournament," Thomas replied.

"You're Dave?" Jordan reacted after a moment of surprise. No wonder he thought Thomas was

strange. It turned out that it was the reason.

"The design I gave you is the design of the sub-stadium. I've given the main stadium's design to Marie.

She probably will give it to Edric very soon," told Thomas, or more accurately now, Dave.

"Do you want the Myers Group and the Golden Age Group to cooperate in the construction of the

stadium for the sports meeting?" Jordan asked.

"No! Although, it will be better if two companies construct the stadium construction of this sports

tournament. To be honest, I never thought of letting Edric's company win the bid. The only purpose I

designed these was for Irene. Originally, I planned to give all these designs to you, but I didn't expect

that there would be such an accident," Thomas replied.

Thomas told him about Marie threatening him. Then, he explained his relationship with Marie and Myra

again.

"I am not the real Thomas. The real Thomas died of an accident not long after I returned to San Fetillo.

At that time, my parents had passed away, and I was downhearted due to the bankruptcy and the huge

compensation. In order to prevent me from being found, Myra asked me to live in Chijmes Building she

bought for Thomas temporarily. Only Steven, Myra, and Marie knew the truth, while the others thought I

was Thomas. At that time, I just wanted to run away from all the troubles I was caught in, but I didn't

expect it to become a drawback," he explained.

"Marie is your sister? I really didn't expect that. Although you are not the real Thomas, you are Irene's Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

uncle after all in terms of seniority. You haven't done anything wrong. Why are you afraid of Marie?"

Jordan asked.

"Back then, I lived in seclusion in San Fetillo not only because I was discouraged from my misfortune

but also for the loss of my love." Dave sighed.

"I love Myra as deeply as your father, but my kind of love is prohibited. Marie knows my thoughts, and

she threatened me with it. If I don't help her, she will expose my feelings for Myra to others. I don't want

Myra to be criticized even after her death, and I don't want Irene to know that I'm not her real uncle,"

Dave continued to say.

"You are not blood-related to Myra. Besides, you never confessed your feelings. I think Irene can

understand you," Jordan thought for a moment and comforted him.

"No, she won't. I've spent most of my life like this, and I don't want something unnecessary to happen

at this moment. I've carefully thought about Marie's character, and she's not credible. Instead of letting

her continue to bother me and bring these pasts out, it's better for me to hide away from everyone first.

It's good for everyone in this way."

"Well, since you have made up your mind, leave everything to me. I'll let you know again soon," Jordan

promised.

At the same time, when Thomas asked Jordan to plan for their migration, Steven was not at peace

either. The chairman of the Tobias Group, Tobias, who absconded with the money, and it had brought

Steven a lot of trouble.

When Tobias made outstanding achievements in San Fetillo, Steven was quite close to him. Steven

had once bought a share of the Tobias Group and became the silent shareholder. Only he and Tobias

knew about it.

As the business of the Tobias Group had always been running very well, Steven's ambition and greed

for money grew even larger. Therefore, when Tobias went to him and asked for funds to open a branch

company, he gave Tobias a batch of funds from the superiors through special means.

Tobias had promised Steven to return it a month later, but Steven didn't expect that Tobias' company

was already in trouble long ago. The so-called opening of a new company was just for scamming him

out of money. Tobias absconded abroad with the money right after Steven gave him the money.

The total of the funds that the superior allocated was one billion dollars. How could Steven have so

much money to make up this loophole? Therefore, he was in a state of nerves during this time.

Coincidentally, the superior heard the news and demanded to meet him to talk about this matter. The

superior had a good relationship with Steven over the past few years. Hence, he asked Steven to find a

way to fill up the loophole as soon as possible. Then, he would let this matter go.

Since Steven cooperated with Tobias to open the company, Steven only got some dividends, which

was just a few million dollars in total. Therefore, how could he make up for such a significant sum of

money?

The only person he could ask for help was Edric, but it was not a small amount of money. Edric might

help him with millions of dollars, but he was unsure if Edric would help him with one billion dollars.

Edric had no interest in Lily. Therefore, he was sure that Edric would not help him because of Lily.

Then, he thought of Irene. Edric had always been obsessed with Irene. Perhaps, he would help him for

Irene's sake.

When Steven came back to the city, he happened to discover that Lily had just attacked Irene. He took

the opportunity to pretend that he fell sick and was admitted to the hospital to figure out a solution.

Steven saw a glimmer of hope when he saw Edric clarify the matter's ins and outs on TV. It could be

imagined how infatuated he was with Irene when he would rather let his mother, Margaret, take the

blame to whitewash Irene. That glimmer of hope eventually grew into a bright ray in Steven's heart.

Therefore, he did not oppose Edric's proposal to terminate Lily's engagement and got back together

with Irene. When he asked Edric and Irene to go home for dinner that day, he wanted to tell Edric about

this matter, but he couldn't bring it up. Now that this matter was getting more urgent and Steven

couldn't delay it anymore, he requested Edric to meet up.

"I've encountered some troubles recently, so I would like to ask you to do me a favor." Steven did not

beat around the bush.

Edric had already known about Tobias' matter, and he guessed that Steven should have something to

do with this matter. "What's the matter? Tell me," Edric replied.

Steven told him about Tobias' abscond with the money. He was embarrassed to admit that he was

associated with Tobias and that their acquaintance was to earn money illegally. Hence, he only said

that he had a close relationship with Tobias and didn't expect Tobias to be such a person who escaped

with the money and left all the trouble to him.

Edric pondered for a moment. One billion dollars was no small amount, but it was not a big deal for

him. But should he tell Irene about it?

When Steven saw that Edric did not speak, he thought Edric would not agree to this matter. He began

to panic inwardly. "I won't let you pay for nothing. You can give me an IOU. I have a few heirloom

paintings with me. I'll mortgage them to you first."

Then, Steven opened the box he carried with him and showed it to Edric. "These are the ancient

paintings my ancestors have passed on through generations. It was estimated to be worth more than

100 million dollars more than a decade ago."

Edric was stunned. Steven's family didn't seem to be an aristocratic family. How could there be a

collection of ancient paintings worth more than 100 million dollars? He picked up one casually and

opened it.

"They're not counterfeit. Don't worry. They're genuine ancient paintings." Steven thought Edric didn't

believe it and explained immediately, "I've kept these paintings for more than twenty years. If it hadn't

something bad happened, I wouldn't have taken it out."

It was rare to see Steven in such a panic. It seemed that he was really anxious this time. Edric smiled

lightly and said, "Okay. I'll go back and collect the money for you."

Steven was not sure if Edric's words were valid. However, he was in an imminent crisis now. He would

do anything as long as the loophole was filled. Although these paintings were Steven's lifeblood, they

were nothing compared to his future. Besides, these paintings would be passed to Irene after his

passing anyway. It was the same to pass them to Edric now. "You'd better take these paintings back. I'll

give you an IOU again," Steven said.

"No need," Edric refused. He helped Steven just because of Irene. If Steven weren't Irene's father, he

would not have cared about it. Since he had helped Steven, he certainly did not want any mortgage or

IOU.

"Don't tell Irene about it. I will lose face if she knows about it." Steven insisted on giving him an IOU

and reminded Edric, "Irene has been an obstinate person since she was a child. I don't want her to

misunderstand me."

Steven was a typical person who did something terrible yet still wanted to maintain a good reputation.

Edric knew better how brazen Steven was. "Forget it. Mr. Cook, I'll take it as your wedding gift for Irene.

As for the IOU, you don't have to give me that. I'll ask the finance department to transfer the money to

you."

Hearing Edric's words, Steven heaved a sigh of relief. After that, he gave his account number to Edric.

After Edric received the account number, he mentioned the marriage between Edric and Irene very

enthusiastically, "When are you and Irene going to register your marriage?"

"I can go at any time as long as Irene agrees," Edric answered.

"You'd better go get it done as soon as possible. It's not a good thing to keep dragging it." Steven,

whose problem was solved, regained his usual calm and asked, "Why don't you take Irene home for

dinner tonight, and I'll do the talking with her?"

Steven took the initiative to show his appreciation to Edric, but Edric was not grateful. Even a fool could

see that Irene hated Steven. If he asked Steven to help him at this time, it would be counterproductive.

"It's okay, I'll tell her myself," Edric refused.

After chatting for a while, they parted. Edric returned to the company and ordered the finance

department to transfer the money to Steven's account. After hearing him finish the call, John couldn't

help reminding him, "Mr. Myers, don't you want to inform Miss Nelson about this?"

"Irene hates this kind of thing the most. If I tell her, she will change her attitude towards Steven. Let's

leave this matter aside and talk about it later," Edric responded.

While they were talking, someone knocked on the door. Rowane came in and said, "Mr. Myers, I have

something to tell you."

Hearing that, John then left the room sensibly. However, Edric signaled him not to go and uttered,

"John is no outsider. If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Here's the thing. I received an admission notice from a foreign university and have the thought of

pursuing my studies abroad, so..." Rowane was a little nervous. She did not receive any acceptance

notice from any foreign university, but Marie hired an agent to send her abroad. She was afraid that

Edric would ask her in detail again.

"Do you want to resign and further study abroad?" Edric understood what she meant. "This is a good

thing. I support your decision. You can always come to me if you need anything. I will try my best to

satisfy your requests."

Rowane smiled and shook her head. "Thank you, Mr. Myers. I don't need anything else."
