Edward had good taste in women. He had chosen a calm and fearless wife. Some of the shareholders thought she resembled Madeline in her youth.
"Alright, let's call it a day. The meeting is over," Irene said.
After the shareholders left, Irene sat down on the chair exhaustedly. She had finally passed the test.
Irene gave Elio a call.
"Yeah, the company has been dealt with. I'll leave the rest to you."
Irene had never dealt with company affairs and was worried it would be bad for someone to teach her how to manage it. The first person she thought of was Elio.
Elio was an honest and reliable friend. She had also known him for many years and had faith in him.
"No problem, Irene. You also don't have to be so polite with me," Elio said.
After a while, Irene also received a call from Claudia about the company.
"Everything's fine, Mum. Things are going smoothly."
"Thank you for your hard work, Irene. Now that Edward is not here... Alas," Claudia said sadly.
"Don't say that, Mum! This is my duty as his wife. I will take good care of the company until Edward returns," Irene said in comfort.
"Oh, right. Now that Eric and Cameron have been defeated, we should quickly send them abroad and leave them to rot," Claudia said. She didn't want to see both of them any longer. She was reminded of Edward whenever she saw them.
On that note, Claudia felt very disgusted and sad. Cameron was ruthless! That was why she couldn't be lenient on them. She had already given them enough chances.
"You have a point. I'll have someone arrange it right away, so they will be dealt with immediately," Irene said. She quickly contacted someone and arranged it after she hung up.
...
The Wilson's estate.
"Dad, we should pack up as soon as possible. Now that Irene has gained the upper hand, Claudia and Irene will definitely be out to get us! We've done many horrible things in the past," Eric said hurriedly.
Just when he thought victory was his, it had been taken away from him once more. Eric never expected such a turn of events. He cursed the heavens for giving him a glimmer of hope, only to let him down when he thought he would finally win. Was he such an amusing target?
"D*mn it, God! You're so blind!" Eric cursed.
Eric was the kind of person who would blame others and complain about everything. He did not appreciate what had been given to him. Moreover, he was both lazy and evil. It would be strange if the heavens actually blessed him with victory.
Cameron panicked when he heard what Eric said. He mumbled, "No, it can't be! They wouldn't be so cruel. After all, I am their husband and father-in-law."
"Irene had lost her husband, and Claudia has lost her son. What do you think they'll do to us?" Eric asked.
Hearing this, Cameron quickly packed up his things as well. Just as they were done and ready to leave the house, they were caught by Irene's subordinates.
"Let go of me! Where are you taking me? This is kidnapping! Do you understand?" Eric cried.
He hadn't expected Irene and Claudia would've acted so quickly.
"Tell Irene that I'm her father-in-law! She can't treat me like this! Also, tell Claudia that—" Cameron yelled in a panic.
"Please tell Irene that I've admitted my mistakes! I know I'm wrong, so please ask her to let me go, okay?" Eric begged for mercy.
The group of men in black remained unmoved as they stuffed them into a van and drove straight to the airport.
When everything had been unloaded, both of them were pushed into the airport. They were sent on the fastest departing international flight.
The escorts guarded them all the way, preventing them from doing any underhanded things. The men would even follow them into the bathroom! Eric felt rather desperate.
Irene was going to kill him!
They weren't familiar with their surroundings when they arrived in a foreign country. They didn't even have a place to stay. Forget trying to adjust to their new life, they lacked even their most basic needs—food and clothing!
Irene was such a vicious and cruel woman!
Eric was very good at pushing the blame onto other people. He never admitted when things were his own fault. If he never coveted what wasn't his, then he wouldn't have placed himself in such a situation!
In short, both Eric and Cameron were greedy people. Edward wasn't a narrow-minded individual. If he had been honest from the start, he might've been given a position in the company and been given the opportunity to manage things in peace.
What good would come from sending him abroad? Edward would never return! Hahaha!
Eric came to the conclusion that Irene wasn't doing any better than he was. He hadn't repented, and he didn't feel guilty about what he had done.
Eric was like a venomous snake. He wouldn't be grateful for your kindness and would bite you instead. He would continue to hold grudges and wait for an opportunity for revenge in the future.
Irene released a sigh of relief when she learned that both Eric and Cameron had boarded the plane. The annoying people had finally been removed and would no longer be in their way.
Now, Irene hoped that they could quickly locate Edward. A few days had passed, but they still couldn't find him! Irene didn't want to think about the worst-case scenario.
According to the hospital, Celine had woken up, but she had gone crazy. She would spend the rest of her life in the mental hospital.
