Infatuated with my Ex-wife novel Chapter 40

Edward rushed a few red lights on the road. He couldn't care so much. If he came late, maybe Irene would suffer more.

Thinking of the basement that day, he couldn't imagine what would happen to her if something happened to her again. He didn't care about her in the past because he didn't care about her. But now, he placed her above his heart.

...

The Jones House.

Maybe it was because of the phone call from Edward. Although it was late at night, the Jones family still came to the living room because of Edward's arrival.

As soon as Edward came in, he asked in a tone as cold as a thousand-year-old ice. "Jones, you are really good at this. First time you lock her in the basement and hurt her,. Now you hide her again. It's really interesting!"

His words were full of disdain and irony, as well as anger.

Beth was very happy to see Edward. After all, he was the person she liked. But all he said was for Irene. She was really angry, but she still tried to keep her appearance as a lady.

"Mr. Wilson,I don't know what you mean. Basement? Hide? Why should we do this?" The tone was soft and innocent, as if she really didn't know anything..

Hearing this woman's voice, Edward felt his scalp tingle. He ignored her and asked Sofia directly, the chill almost seeping into Sofia's bones. " Mrs. Jones, don't you really know? ? Then I have a few questions for you. Can you answer them for me?"

Sofia was stunned. This, if Edward already knew something, then she...

"Mrs. Jones, are you unwilling to answer me?" He pressed harder, wondering what they got up in their sleeves.

Seeing Sofia's expression, Beth was so angry that she almost vomited blood. Sofia hesitated and dared not answer, and anyone would think there was a problem. Beth scolded her severely in her heart, and hurriedly opened her mouth, "of course, Irene is my sister and Sofia's biological daughter. We are no less worried than you, aren't we, Sofia."

After saying that, she continued to give Sofia a meaningful glance. Sofia quickly agreed.

Edward smiled contemptuously, "It had been said that Mrs. Jones was sick and Irene came to visit you, but you..." Edward’s unfathomable eyes turned slightly to Sofia and he said with a chuckle. "There seems to be nothing wrong with your body. I heard that you were almost dying at that time."

Sofia didn’t expect that Edward would ask such a question. She was very stupid and really did not know how to answer. She could only gently raise her head and glance at Beth, intending to ask her how to answer the question. 

Beth squeezed out a smile from the corner of her mouth, "“Mr. Wilson, aunt Sofia is aged and has some health issues. She will be fine after taking some medicine and taking a rest. Irene came in such a hurry because she was too worried. Later, she left when she saw Sofia had no problem."

"I didn't ask you!" Edward raised his voice and his anger obviously reached a level. "I'm asking Mrs. Jones."

Beth had never seen such an angry Edward. After being scolded by him, she even shrank her shoulders and cried. "We really don't know where Irene is. She did come, but the servants saw her when she left. Besides, she is my sister, what can I do to her!"

After that, Beth still didn’t forget to wipe her tears artificially..

Edward didn’t want to talk with this woman anymore. The blue veins on his forehead almost bulged. "Enough! I don't want to hear you. Open the basement!"

"Mr. Wilson, don't you believe me like this? Am I such a person in your eyes?" Beth said wrongfully on her face, and she had so much hatred in her heart. Even if there was no one in the basement, she didn't want to open it.

Edward snorted, "I don't take you seriously at all. You're nothing but a stranger to me."

If not for the fact that she was Irene's older sister, he didn't want to say a word to her. He would not even bother to look at such a hypocritical woman.

"You!" After saying this, Beth almost cried when she ran upstairs. What was she inferior to Irene? She had higher education background and better appearance, but...

The basement was opened and Edward went down in person to search every corner. After making sure that she wasn’t there, he left angrily.

Out of Jones hosue, Edward sat in the car, with the steering wheel held by only one hand. His tension and worry were mixed together. For the first time, he felt that he was incompetent. Because he couldn't protect the person he liked. He clenched his fist and slammed the steering wheel, trying to vent something!

The phone rang again at this moment. He was afraid and expectant for the phone. He was afraid to hear about the unfortunate things related to Irene. He expected to hear the good news that Irene was fine.

"President, I've found her. She's in the Second Hospital. She's fine!"

Hearing the news over the phone, Edward finally felt reassured. His chest rose and fell slowly. Fortunately, he was fine. He quickly drove away and wanted to fly to Irene immediately.

The phone rang again. It was a new text message. He looked up while driving. It was a picture of a man and a woman—Irene and Elio. They were very intimate.

Seeing this photo, he felt as if he had been poured with cold water. Although he knew that there was nothing between Irene and Elio, his inner desire for monopoly still prevailed. She was the person he liked. Now he only hoped that there were no other men in Irene's eyes except him, even if he knew it was irrational.
