Her external Mr right

"Irene, I heard that your husband Edric has brought another woman to the hospital for a prenatal checkup yesterday..."

Irene Nelson burst into laughter and replied, "What? You think Edric is cheating on me?"

"Yes!"

"Don't worry. Of all men, Edric's the last person in the world who would do that."

After Irene hung up the call with her uncle, she called her husband Edric Myers immediately. However, it took him a long time to pick the call, then there was a cold voice coming in, "I'm very busy. Don't call me next time if there's nothing urgent!"

He sounded so annoyed and emotionless, hung up before Irene could say anything. Irene held onto the test results, feeling as if her burning passion was frozen instantly.

Three years of marriage, Edric was always very gentle to her. But recently, he's been different. Big attitude, impatient in every phone call, not just cold, it seemed that he had lost his commitment to the marriage, to her.

But Irene didn't know why.

With her mind preoccupied by her thoughts, Irene turned and saw a figure pop up before her. "Sis!" a gentle voice called out.

When Irene looked over, she saw Lily Cook who was accompanied by a middle-aged woman.

Irene frowned at the sight of Lily, who was the daughter of a mistress. With a look of contempt on her face, she retorted coldly, "What sister?! Watch it Lily, my mother only has one daughter and that is me."

Instead of getting angry by her reply, Lily merely beamed and asked gently, "Irene, are you here for your infertility check up again?"

"It's none of your business."

"Aren't you going to ask me why I'm here at the pregnancy check up area?" Lily asked and raised an eyebrow at Irene provocatively. She then chuckled and announced, "I'm carrying Edric's child!"

Irene only noticed her tiny baby bump right after she said this. All along, Lily had been very obvious about her feelings towards Edric and would always find ways to hook up with him before he married Irene.

However, Irene merely sneered and replied, "Shut your mouth! Are you out of your mind?"

"You don't believe me? Well, take a look at this!"

Lily then flashed her check up report to Irene and Irene's expression instantly changed when she saw the familiar handwriting on it. She couldn't believe her eyes when she saw Edric's signature.

"I slept with him four months ago. He was such a beast and wouldn't stop his hunger on my body all night, turned out I got his baby that night...hahaha," Lily declared and grinned proudly. "He likes this child so much and asked me to keep it. You could step down once my child's born."

"You son of a...shut up!" Irene roared and, trembling with rage, struck Lily across the face. Lily instantly fell to the ground as if she had been anticipating this, "Ouch, my stomach!" she shrieked.

Irene only slapped Lily on the face, but crimson red blood began to ooze out of her trousers the moment she fell to the ground. Irene was taken aback and could hardly believe what just happened.

The medical staff instantly rushed Lily off to the emergency room. Afraid to leave the scene, Irene too followed after her.

After waiting outside the room for quite some time, Irene heard the sound of footsteps and when she glanced up, saw her mother-in-law, Margaret Moore. Glaring at Irene furiously, Margaret asked, "What's going on? How did Lily end up in the emergency room?"

"Miss Nelson... No, Mrs. Myers pushed her!" The middle-aged woman who had been accompanying Lily answered.

"You wicked wench! You're a fruitless tree! What, now you won't allow someone else to bear Edric's child? What the heck is wrong with you!" Margaret shrieked and slapped her in the face. As Margaret had never liked Irene, she was merciless, Irene's face quickly began to swell up.

Earlier before, she had thought that Lily was lying but Margaret's attitude explained everything.

A burst of despair grew in Irene's heart and it felt so suffocating that she nearly passed out.

But right at that moment, the door to the operating theatre opened and a nurse walked out to inform them that Lily had lost her baby.

Margaret went ballistic when she heard the breaking news and immediately charged over to yank Irene's hair before she began to thrash and kick her.

Irene quickly blacked out from the violent beatings.

When she finally regained consciousness, opened her eyes to a sea of white. She tried to sit up but her body ached so terribly that she had to lean against the headboard of her bed to catch her breath. But right at that moment, the door to her ward opened and a man wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses came in.

"Hello, Miss Nelson. I'm Mr. Myers' lawyer!"

"Lawyer?" Irene repeated and stared at the man before her in shock.

"Yes, I'm Mr. Myers' private lawyer. He entrusted me to handle his divorce proceedings with you."

"Divorce? Edric wants to divorce me?" Irene repeated and could hardly believe what she just heard.

The lawyer walked over to her bed and handed her a document before he resumed, "This is a divorce agreement. Please read through it."

Irene's hands began to quiver. She had never dreamed that Edric would actually divorce her one day. Without reading the divorce agreement, she stared at the lawyer and ordered, "Get Edric to see me! He wants a divorce, tell him to come and tell me himself!"

"Mr. Myers is very busy. He doesn't have time for it."

"He's busy with what? Making baby with that treacherous woman?" Irene didn't know why Edric had turned so indifferent to her, and cruel, that he didn't even bear the sight of her.

Closing her eyes shut, she grabbed the phone on the bedside table and dialed for Eric's number but could not seem to get through to him.

"How did Edric and I end up like this? Affair, divorce..." she mused.

The lawyer, who was still waiting for her response, urged, "Miss Nelson, please take a look at the agreement. I'm very busy!"

It was obvious from the lawyer's attitude that he would not take 'no' for an answer. Everyone had been respectful towards Irene throughout her three years long of marriage with Edric. Now that the lawyer was so cold and harsh, he was clearly acting under Edric's instructions.

Irene held up the divorce agreement and glanced at the column on the dismemberment of property.

"All the property belonged to Edric before marriage, and was no part of the property that would be divided upon their divorcement." Irene instantly began to tear up seeing this.

He once said that she meant the world to him and that everything he had belonged to her. However, he already fell in love with someone else within three years into their marriage. She wondered if he was finally revealing his true color.

The truth that Edric was having an affair and lived with another woman behind her back and even made a child with that mistress finally began to sink in.

"I suppose it's time for a fruitless tree like me to pack and go," Irene thought bitterly. Without reading the agreement any further, Irene glanced up at the lawyer, who had been staring at her all along, and requested, "Give me a pen!"

The lawyer opened his briefcase, took out a pen and handed it to Irene before he added, "Mr. Myers said that you can't take any of the jewellery that he bought for you."

Irene stared blankly at the space before her and froze for a long time. Just when the lawyer thought that she would challenge this, she slowly agreed, "I don't want it either."

She then picked up the pen and signed her name on the divorce agreement quickly.

After the lawyer took one quick glance at the signed agreement, he turned and left.

A luxurious Aston Martin pulled up in the parking lot of the hospital and the car window scrolled down to reveal the face of an incomparably handsome man. The lawyer quickly strode over to the car and reported respectfully, "Mr. Myers, Madam has signed it!"

"She signed it?" the man repeated slowly and glanced at the lawyer's face with his unreadable eyes.

The lawyer's heart raced when he saw how moody the man seemed and though he wanted to say something, was at a loss for words. The man then turned to stare at the dark night sky. After some time, he spat out, "Okay! Let's go!"

Three years later.

The night was young and many luxury cars and reporters geared up with cameras and equipment gathered at the gates to the San Fetillo Hilton Hotel.

The Golden Age Group was hosting a party here tonight and had invited the business tycoons of San Fetillo to the event. When the reporters caught wind of the news, they flocked over in hopes of obtaining news that would make the headlines.

At 8 p.m, a sleek Maybach pulled over before the hotel.

"Mr. Reed! It's Mr. Reed from the Golden Age Group!" the reporters yelled and rushed over with their cameras and gear.

Jordan Reed was dressed in a white suit and wore a frivolous smile on his face as he got out of the car. Supermodel Lulu, who was dressed in a chic off shoulder evening dress, got out from the other side of the car. Jordan then reached out to hold Lulu's hand before they decently posed for the camera.

Irene was seated in the passenger's seat with a briefcase in her hand and watched Jordan and Lulu through the window.

"What the freak. I'm just an assistant. Why can't Jordan leave me out of a party like this? Is he a sicko or what?" she grumbled silently.

The driver beside her reminded, "Assistant Ye, please get off the car! Young Master would be displeased if you're late."

With a sigh, she opened the car door and lowered her head as she got out of the car with her briefcase.

As Jordan had already arrived at the entrance to the hotel, arm in arm with Lulu, Irene hastened her footsteps to keep up with them. Just when she reached the entrance, the reporters behind her exclaimed, "Edric Myers! Edric Myers is here as well!"

Irene turned reflexively when she heard Edric's name. She then saw an Aston Martin pull over slowly before the gates to the hotel. A security guard stepped forward and opened the car door respectfully.

Edric then got off the car. He looked handsome in his black suit and his aura was still as powerful as what it was three years ago.

Just when Irene was lost in her thoughts, the security guard opened the door on the other side of the car. Lily Cook, in a fiery red evening dress, smiled as she slowly got out.

"Wow, they're such a stunning couple!"

"You don't say. The lady is the daughter of a secretary while the guy is a business tycoon. They're a perfect match made by God!"

The crowd began to chatter incessantly. As Irene stared at the couple, a cold sneer appeared on her face.

"An unfaithful man and a mistress. A perfect match indeed!" she thought.

Without the slightest intention to stay on and watch the irksome couple, Irene quickly turned and hastened her steps to catch up with Jordan.

Jordan and Lulu had already entered the elevator. When Irene noticed that the door was about to close, she dashed over as quickly as she would in a hundred-meter sprint.

Reaching out her hand, she managed to stop the elevator door right when it was about to close. When she entered the elevator, Jordan sneered, "Irene, you seem to enjoy scaring others, don't you?"

"I'm sorry!" Irene lowered her head and apologized.

Jordan snorted coldly and warned, "You'd better follow us closely the next time. If you step out of line again, I'll fire you!"

"Yes, Sir! I'll keep that in mind!"

As Irene was extremely polite and respectful, Jordan could not find a reason flare up at her and simply let her off the hook after glaring at her.

When the elevator stopped at the 18th floor, Jordan wrapped his arms around Lulu's waist and led her out. Irene quickly followed them with the briefcase in her arms. When they arrived at the entrance to the hall, Jordan turned and instructed, "Go and wait for me in the lounge. Bear in mind that you'll have to be on standby. Your bonus for this month will be halved if I couldn't reach you."

"Yes, Mr. Reed. Got it!"

After Jordan and Lulu entered the hall, Irene felt as if she was relieved of a great burden and turned to dash straight for the lounge.

Meanwhile, the elevator on the other end, too, stopped with a "ding". When Edric and Lily stepped out of the elevator, Edric caught a glimpse of Irene, who was opening the door to the lounge at the end of the corridor. He froze for a moment. "Irene?" he thought.

"No, she had disappeared for three years.Why would she be here now?" he mused.

"I must be mistaken," he concluded.

When Lily noticed Edric staring fixedly at the other end of the corridor, she glanced towards where he was looking at but saw nothing there. Feeling baffled, she asked, "Edric, what are you looking at?"

"It's nothing. Let's go."

Irene waited in the lounge for more than an hour and was so hungry that her stomach began to growl. "Jordan's such a sadist.

There he is, having the time of his life with a beautiful woman and a delicious, luxurious buffet that he could eat to his heart's content. Meanwhile, as his assistant, I could only starve and wait for him here. He's really an evil capitalist!" she grumbled silently.

Just when she was lost in her thoughts, Jordan called and instructed, "Go to the hall to get yourself some food. Remember what I said. Don't wander around! Scram back to the lounge to wait for me after you're done with your meal!"

"Yes, Mr. Reed."

Irene then pulled open the door to the hall and strode right in. Although everyone was rich and glamorously dressed, she merely took one swift glance at them before she went straight for the buffet area.

Irene helped herself to a glass of juice and a plate of food. But before she could find herself a place to settle down and eat, she heard someone say, "Get me some food here!"

The commanding tone of voice sounded familiar. When Irene looked up, she saw a woman who was slapped with a thick layer of makeup. "Isn't she Lily Cook's best friend, Freya Howard?" Irene thought.

Freya was momentarily stunned as well when she saw Irene. As Irene was dressed in work attire, Freya mistook her for a waitress and was startled when she found out it was Irene.

"So it's you?"

However, Irene merely ignored her. But just when she was about to brush past Freya, Freya managed to recover from her shock and stopped her immediately, "Are you actually working as a waitress here? Haha, what a joke!"

"Is it that funny?" Irene asked coldly.

"Of course. You were so arrogant in the past, weren't you? Well well well. To think that you would end up as a mere waitress. Every dog has its day. That's quite apt for your situation now, isn't it? Hurry up and get me something to eat!"

Freya appeared pleased with what she had just said. As Irene was beautiful, morally upright and blessed with a good life, she had always been an eyesore for Freya.

Now that Irene was ditched by Edric and had ended up as a waitress, it was a perfect opportunity for Freya to humiliate her.

Irene was disgusted by the look on Freya's face but found it insulting to stoop down to Freya's level to argue with her. Thus, she simply made her way around Freya and strutted off.

Unwilling to let things slide, Freya yelled, "Irene, how dare you disobey me! I could get someone to fire you right away!"

"Fire me? Miss Howard, who the heck do you think you are?"

"How dare you insult me?" Freya yelled and jumped with rage. In the past, she could not do anything to Irene since she was Edric's wife and he had protected her like a precious treasure. But now, things were different. Without Edric, she was just a lowly waitress and destroying her would be as easy as killing an ant.

"I'll tell the person in charge here to fire you right away!"

"Freya, what happened?" a gentle voice interrupted.

"Lily, you're just right on time. Look who we have here!" Freya pointed at Irene and mocked.

Irene glanced at Lily calmly. When their eyes met, Lily obviously seemed shocked. "Why is Irene here?" she wondered.

Despite being taken aback, Lily smiled and greeted, "Sis!"

However, Irene merely glanced at her coldly and replied, "Miss, I'm afraid you got the wrong person."

"Irene, I know you blame me for what happened, but it has nothing to do with me. I can't help it if Edric falls for me..."

Although three years had passed, Irene's wounds were still sore and her heart still ached at the mention of her past. Unwilling to show her weakness to them, she turned to leave.

However, Freya, who was obviously emboldened by Lily's presence, instantly rushed up to Irene and grabbed hold of her before shoving her hard. The juice in the glass Irene was holding immediately spilt all over her body. As some got onto Freya's clothes, she screamed, "Hey, what's wrong with you?"

Irene saw how visibly pleased Freya was when she said this. She could tell that Freya was convinced that she was a waitress and had intended to slander her so that she could get the hotel to fire Irene.

Irene's expression turned frigid. In the past, she would have slapped Freya in the face. But now, she was no longer Edric's wife and nobody would be there to protect her. Thus, she could only force herself to suppress her anger and leave.

Freya and Lily exchanged a look when they noticed that Irene did nothing to fend for herself. In the next moment, they reached over, yanked Irene's hair, and doused their red wine down her neck.

The cold, red wine trickled down Irene's neck and soaked up her clothes. Somewhat intentionally, Freya bumped Lily with her body and Lily, too, splashed her glass of wine on Irene's face.

Irene could feel her eyes burning with pain. She initially planned to let things slide and leave, but was now angered by Freya's relentless pursuit.

Freya and Lily were birds of the same feather. Judging from how they were treating her, Irene could tell that things would not end well today. Freya's tricks were exactly the same as what Lily had used back then and they would certainly continue to slander her. Irene was also not to be trifled with and found no reason to let them off the hook anymore since they were bent on making her the bad guy.

Boiling with rage, Irene raised the plate in her hand and smashed it onto Freya's head.

Freya screamed, for she never expected Irene to retaliate when she was already in such a pathetic state. The gravy trickled down Freya's hair into her eyes and stung them exceptionally badly, for Irene enjoyed spicy food and all the gravy was spicy.

Freya let out a heartrending scream and instantly released Irene's hair.

Ignoring Freya's shrieks, Irene went on to slap Lily in the face. Lily was completely dumbfounded, for she never expected Irene to be so tough. Just when her face was stinging from the blow, Irene grabbed a bowl of gravy and splashed it onto Lily’s expensive evening dress designed by a famous designer. Lily was terribly upset.

In pain and rage, Lily ignored her public image and shrieked, "Somebody! Help!"

Many people were startled by the commotion and glanced over. The security guards, too, rushed over. As this was a party for members of the upper class, the security guards were unusually snobbish. Irene, who was dressed in ordinary clothes, was naturally taken for a waitress. Thus, without even getting their facts right, the guards immediately shoved her out of the hall.

As Freya's eyes were burning from the chili gravy, she was quickly sent to the hospital. After Edric heard of the news, he rushed over only to see Lily with a clear palm print on her face and her expensive evening gown stained with soup. Surprised by the awkward state that she was in, he asked, "What happened?"

Lily was actually afraid that Edric would come to know that Irene had appeared at the party. However, she knew that she couldn't hide the truth from him now that things have reached this state. Thus she cried and complained, "Edric, I saw Miss Nelson. She's working as a waitress here. For some reason, she deliberately spilt juice on me and Freya when she saw us. Freya couldn't put up with it and scolded her, so she suddenly went berserk and dumped food onto Freya. She even slapped me..."

Edric was stunned and quickly scanned the surroundings, but did not spot Irene anywhere. Lily then forced out some tears and continued, "My clothes were soiled and I got slapped by her. But Freya's eyes were stung by the chili gravy that Nelson dumped on her. Miss Nelson had planned to aim for me, but Freya took the blow for me."

Edric's expression was unreadable as he stared at her pitiful face. He then patted Lily, who was wiping her tears away, and asked coldly, "Where is she?"

"She was taken away by the security guards!"

"Let's go and have a look!"

After Edric said this, he supported Lily, who was in a mess, out of the hall. Irene was taken to the room next to the hall by the security guards. They were scolding her and calling the police.

Irene lowered her head as she remained seated on the sofa. Her body was dripping wet from the wine, and she finally calmed down after she was brought here.

She should have put up with them earlier on, but instead she lost control of herself and stirred up a fuss like this. Jordan certainly wouldn't let her off the hook. He was a rich playboy with a foul temper and was especially fierce towards her.

Nathan White had forced Jordan to accept Irene as his Personal Assistant.

Thus, Jordan had always disliked her and made things difficult for her. Now that she created a scene, she felt certain that he would fire her.

Just when she was fraught with anxiety, the door was pushed open and a gust of cold air blew over. Irene looked up and stared right into a pair of dark, unreadable eyes.

Heartbroken, Irene had left the city ever since Edric asked his lawyer to force her to sign the divorce agreement three years ago.

Throughout the past three years, she had never thought that she would bump into Edric again, for she had planned to avoid him for the rest of her life. Yet on her first day back in San Fetillo, they crossed paths again in such a way.

She was in a complete state of mess while he was high above her and looking at her disdainfully as though he was a king while his arms remained wrapped around Lily's waist. Irene wondered if he had come to chastise her for what she had done.

Suppressing the roiling emotions in her heart, Irene looked away indifferently.

As she had made up her mind to treat him like a complete stranger if they were to cross paths again, there was nothing to be upset about, was there?

Edric's pupils constricted when he saw Irene looking away with cold indifference. After he helped Lily into the room, he ordered icily, "Apologize!" One couldn't help but tremble when they heard him.

However, Irene merely pursed her lips and remained silent. "He wants me to apologize to his mistress? Besides, he's demanding for my apology when I've done nothing wrong. There's no way that I would do this."

Edric's expression turned darker and darker when he noticed that she had no intention of speaking up. "Irene Nelson, didn't you hear me? Apologize," he ordered.

"Apologize? Why should I? Mr. Myers, do you think you're a King who could order me around?" Irene smiled contemptuously.

"It doesn't matter whether I'm a king or not. What matters is the fact that you deliberately assaulted others. Freya has already been sent to the hospital. You should know the consequences!"

He was obviously threatening her, and Irene knew that he wasn't doing it for Freya, but for Lily. Without the slightest intention to apologize, Irene smiled and replied, "Mr. Myers, you're so powerful that you could do anything that you want, so I'll be waiting to see what you could do. As for the apology, you'll get it in your next life!"

Edric felt strangely stifled when he saw how indifferent Irene was when she retorted him in an icy tone of voice.

"Irene, since you're so stubborn, then don't blame me for being merciless," Edric replied and glanced at her coldly before he turned to instruct the security guards, "Have you called the police?"

"Yes!" The security guard answered respectfully.

"Then we'll let the police settle this impartially! We'll see how tough you could be once you're in the police station!"

Edric wore a look of indifference as he gave those cruel instructions to the guards and Irene lowered her gaze to conceal the look of sadness in her eyes.

"Is Edric's heart made of stone? I've never let him down in any way throughout our five years of relationship and three years of marriage. Why is he so cruel to me?" she thought.

"Three years ago, Edric had sent me packing with nothing to my name. Now that we're meeting again for the first time in three years, he's going to send me to the police station without even bothering to get his facts right."

Men were the most cruel creatures in the world and Edric was one of the leaders of the pack.

"I must have been blind to have fallen in love with such a cold-blooded and heartless man back then," she thought.

Irene was adamant not to apologize and was eventually brought to the police station.

Just when the police asked her some basic questions, Irene's phone rang — it was a call from Jordan. After Irene answered the call, Jordan yelled in exasperation, "Irene, where the heck are you? Didn't I tell you to wait in the lounge?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Reed!" Irene apologized repeatedly. "Something unexpected happened and I'm currently at the police station."

"What? The police station? Why are you in the police station?"

"Well... Well..." Irene was at a loss as to what to say. She knew that couldn't possibly tell Jordan that she had bumped into the mistress who ruined her marriage and was sent to the police station by her ex-husband because she lost her temper and got into a conflict with the mistress.

Jordan became impatient when he noticed how hesitant she was and yelled, "You could stay in the police station if that's what you like. I don't need an assistant like you anymore. I'll call Nathan right away!"

She then heard the sound of a beeping tone on the other end of the line. Jordan had hung up the phone. Irene's heart sank when she realized that she had gotten herself into legal trouble and would soon lose her job a well.

The police felt sorry for her when they saw how pale she seemed and kindly reminded her, "Miss, of all the people in the world, why did you offend this couple? Mind you that the lady is Mr. Cook's precious daughter while and the man, Edric, is a business tycoon. Be sensible and apologize to them. You'll be able to resolve the matter with an apology. I have Mr. Myers's number if you need. Why don't you call him an put in a good word for yourself?"

Irene's lips curled up into a smile and she replied, "Thank you, sir. Now that I've lost my job and have no where to go, being locked up here might help me to tide through things for the time being since I wouldn't have to worry about food and shelter. Forget about the apology."

Seeing how resistant she was towards the idea of apologising, the police sighed and left. Irene knew that Edric would not let her off the hook and she decided to make the best out of her situation and wait to see what tricks he had up his sleeves.

She doesn't think that Edric would able to abuse his power and dictate the law.

As the thought crossed her mind, she heard the sound of heavy footsteps at the door. After the door was pushed open, she saw Jordan standing by the door with a furious look on his face.

"Irene, how dare you!"

"Mr. Reed!" Irene greeted in a low voice.

"I've never had an assistant like you who not only fail to be of help, but even cause trouble for me!" Jordan lectured her fiercely. However, he quickly fell silent when he saw how pathetic state Irene seemed.

"What happened? How the heck did you end up in such a state?"

"Someone poured wine onto me but it's no big deal."

"Who did it?" Jordan spat out the question through his gritted teeth.

"It's someone whom I don't know!"

"I'm so ashamed of you! How could you be bullied like this?" Jordan asked and picked up his mobile phone before he called someone and instructed, "Send me two men. Someone bullied my assistant and we need to teach them a lesson."

"Mr. Reed! That person is now in the hospital, there's no need to teach her a lesson. She's the one who's going to teach me a lesson now."

"Good job!" Jordan praised and he instantly brightened up. "It's okay. Now that I'm here, nobody would dare to punish you. Get up, we're leaving."

"Leave?"

"What, do you want to stay here?" Jordan immediately held her hand and took her out.
