Revenge Against My Ex-husband

Chapter 187 Tremble With Fear

After the conversation with Edric, he left and Steven began to suspect something, Was Edric really not

suspicious of anyone, or had he been unwilling to say so? He had to find out the truth as soon as

possible and get rid of it before others found out.

Steven held uncertainties towards Deborah. When he went back, he looked at Deborah with a

suspicious look.

Although Steven did not say anything, Deborah, who had always observed him, felt that something was

amiss. So, Deborah went to ask the driver, Tommy.

Tommy had been following Steven every day. Naturally, he would know Steven's schedule very well.

He immediately reported to Deborah about Steven's visit to the police station.

Deborah was frightened upon hearing that Bert had been caught. It seemed that Bert had confessed

something to make Steven suspect her.

Since Deborah really had done horrible things, she trembled with fear. However, when she was

scheming against Irene, she did not contact Bert personally. Instead, she did it through Dunn. As long

as they did not catch him, she would be safe.

Deborah was glad that Dunn had migrated. Otherwise, she would be in so much trouble. Although

Steven was suspecting her, there was no evidence against her. Hence, she calmed down.

However, it wasn't a good idea to keep things this way. She had to find a way to save herself, and she

could not let Steven suspect her more.

Deborah thought of Marie and decided to discuss the matter with her.

Just as she was about to pick up her phone to call Marie, Marie called her instead. Marie said that she

had something very important to discuss with her and needed Deborah to meet her outside

immediately.

Marie's voice sounded very abnormal. Something bad had to have happened. Deborah started to panic

when she recalled that she had asked Marie to see what Margaret had to say. So, did something

happen with Margaret?

Deborah soon arrived at their usual location. As soon as she entered the private room, she saw Marie's

upset expression.

Marie was also a scheming person, so she never disclosed her thoughts easily. Looking at her

expression, Deborah's heart sank. She put aside her own issues and asked, "You look so upset, what

happened?"

"I just came back from the Myers family, and Margaret has made it clear that she has changed her

mind!" Marie sighed.

"No way, how could this old woman have changed her mind so easily?! She's not that trustworthy at all,

is she?"

"Trustworthy? What's that?" Marie asked with a sneer, "For Margaret, there was only to like or dislike a

person, trustworthy was never in her personality."

"What can we do now?"

"How would I know?" Marie replied angrily. When she figured out that everything had happened

because of Deborah, she grew full of anger. She had the urge to slap Deborah across the face.

However, she could only think so in her heart, and did not dare to take any action. She knew very well

that it was not the right time for her to fight with Deborah. Deborah was the one who had helped her

daughter gain her current status. She had to think about her daughter's situation.

Realizing her rude attitude, Marie raised her cup and took a sip of tea. This helped ease her This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

dissatisfaction towards Deborah, and she had no choice but to suppress her anger in her heart for the

time being.

Deborah knew what Marie's temper was like. She was frustrated as well, but was not in the mood to

argue with Marie. At this critical time, she still had to rely on Marie, this evil woman. She had to bear

with it for her daughter's sake.

After calming herself down, she tried to speak as if nothing had happened, "Margaret listens to you the

most, doesn't she? Why didn't you persuade her?"

"If that worked, will I still be here discussing this with you? I wonder which b*stard told everyone about

what you did last time. Margaret hates mistresses the most. When she heard that you and Myra were

friends, she became even more furious. She clearly said that she would not let any mistress' daughter

marry Edric. She also suspected that Lily had other motives when she approached her."

Marie sighed, "The most terrible thing is that she began to feel uncomfortable with me taking Lily's side.

I was afraid that she would grow even more suspicious, so I didn't dare to speak for Lily anymore."

"Margaret likes children, doesn't she? You can use the child to persuade her. I don't believe that she'll

dislike Lily's two children. She'll bear with it for the sake of the children, wouldn't she?"

"Don't mention the child. It made her more furious. Margaret had said that she already has two

grandchildren. Irene can have as many children she wants in the future, and she mentioned that she

would only accept Irene's children as her grandchildren," Marie relayed Margaret's words to Deborah.

"Now Margaret thinks that only Irene is the best. She now hates Lily as much as she hated Irene. In the

past, Irene had Edric to back her up, but now Lily doesn't have anyone to help her. I think it's

impossible for Lily to be with Edric ever again."

"That old woman is really annoying. D*mn it, if she wanted to change her mind, she could've said so

earlier. Now that we're in such a situation, what can we do?" Deborah was so angry that she cursed.

"Yes, if Lily was not pregnant and in good health instead, we would still have a way out. Now, what can

we do?" Marie also felt a headache.

"Worst comes to worst, we'll try to get money. Edric is so rich, and he used to be so generous with Lily.

Since they have a child, he'll definitely treat Lily well. Besides, it's his child after all, and he will have the

inheritance rights in the future. If we can obtain some shares of the Myers Group, Lily will gain some

advantages as well."

"Forget it. Margaret said that she won't give even a penny to Lily. All the inheritance will go to Irene's

children. It's fine if Lily insists on giving birth to the child, but it's either that Margaret will raise the child

herself or she'll find a lawyer to claim that the child belongs to Lily and they won't pay her alimony."

"How vicious!" Deborah was furious, "Last time, wasn't she the one who wanted a grandchild so badly

that she agreed to Lily undergoing artificial insemination? Otherwise, why would a good girl like Lily

have to suffer and get pregnant even before marriage just to help the Myers family have a child to carry

on their family name? Because of her, Lily did the insemination twice, but now that her health is in such

a condition, she couldn't care less. There is nothing that easy in this world. No, I have to ask her to give

me an explanation," Deborah insisted and stood up immediately.

Marie hurriedly reached out her hand to stop her, "Calm down. What's the use of asking her? It'll only

make things worse."

Deborah gritted her teeth and said, "But how can I stand for this?"

"For Lily, you have to endure it anyhow. Now that things have become like this, anger won't change

anything. We have to find a way to deal with this,"

Marie persuaded. In her mind, Deborah had always been able to calm herself down. Why did she

suddenly lose her temper? Looking at Deborah's expression then, she really was afraid that Deborah

would lose her mind and look for Margaret.

Margaret already hated Deborah. If Deborah went to cause trouble again, she would definitely

aggravate Margaret even more. If that happened, Lily would no longer have the chance to marry Edric.

"What do we do? Now that Margaret has made such a statement, it's impossible to change her mind."

"There's always a way out. There has to be a way," Marie comforted, "Calm down. We've endured so

much already, what's more to endure just a little bit longer now?"

Deborah nodded, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea. She did lose her temper just now. It was not

only Lily who she was worried about, but also Steven who had started to suspect her. These two things

together, had made her anxious and she had lost her mind. Marie was right. There was no point in her

being anxious since it could not change anything, so she had to think of a way to face it head-on.

Last time, she had nothing and no advantage at all but still she had defeated Myra and became

Steven's legal wife. Now, she had so many more advantages to her. She did not believe that she could

not find a way to solve this problem.

Seeing Deborah calm down, Marie was relieved and asked tentatively, "You're usually not this short-

tempered. What's wrong with you today? Why did you lose your temper all of a sudden?"

Deborah sighed and said, "Bert was caught."

"Ah! When did this happen?" Marie was shocked. She knew everything about Bert. If Bert told the

police about Deborah, Steven would definitely be furious. No wonder Deborah had lost her temper. She

asked, "Steven found out?"

"Yes, he went to the police station. When he came back, he looked off. I felt that something was wrong,

so I asked the driver. The driver said that Bert had told them about Dunn. I thought that Steven must be

suspecting me, so I came to discuss this with you."

"This is getting out of hand!" Marie also panicked. Irene and Dunn did not know each other at all.

Steven was definitely suspecting Deborah.

Steven was cunning and scheming. If he suspected Deborah and began to investigate, he would find

out about what happened that year. So, she asked, "How much information does Bert know?"

"Bert doesn't know much. I've been contacting Dunn and Bert was the one he employed. Now, even

though Steven has started to suspect me, there's no evidence. After all, Dunn has migrated," Deborah

explained.

"Fortunately, Dunn has migrated, but we can't take this matter lightly. We must find a way to distract

Steven, so he won't have time to pay attention to this."

"That's what I thought too. The only thing that can distract Steven's attention is his status and Irene. We

can't attack his status, nor do we have the ability. However, Irene is different. We can attack Irene..."

Marie nodded, "Yes, we start with Irene. However, there are so many people around Irene now, so we

have to think of a perfect plan."

The private room became quiet. The two of them began to think about different plans. After a while,

Marie suddenly said, "I have a solution."

"What is it?"

"To create a rift between Irene and Margaret, and to find a way to create estrangement between them

so that they'll hate each other again like last time."

"That's going to be a little difficult. I heard from Loraine that Margaret even put down her ego

and personally apologized to Irene. Irene is not the kind of person who is ruthless and holds grudges.

They'll definitely develop a good relationship," Deborah felt that it was unrealistic for Irene and

Margaret to hate each other.

Marie thought differently, "You can't build trust within a day as that takes a long time. Irene won't

believe Margaret's apology and she'll suspect that Margaret has other motives. People are most afraid

of distrust. As long as Irene doesn't trust Margaret, this plan could still work."

"Isn't Edric with them too, though? He won't just sit back and watch this unfold," Deborah still thought it

was impossible.

"Don't worry, I will trap all of them this time…" Marie lowered her voice and began to explain her plan to

Deborah.

"That's great, no doubt that you're the powerful one. I'm amazed that you could even think of this plan."

After hearing Marie's words, Deborah grew excited, "This way, not only will Edric lose his trust in Irene,

but we can also take Margaret out of the equation and let Lily gain a chance. It's indeed a wonderful

plan! Killing three birds with one stone."

Deborah praised Marie so much, but she did not feel proud at all, "We'll definitely need Loraine's help

in this matter. You have to tell her the plan and get her ready. Make sure that she won't drag us down

when the time comes."

"Don't worry, I'll tell her."
