Infatuated with my Ex-wife novel Chapter 65

Edward was really worried about Irene, and he wanted to go to the hospital immediately to check on her. But Lily rushed into his office just as he picked up the keys to his car.

"This is bad, Mr. Wilson. The media companies refuse to take the article down. They said that someone had told them to keep the posts online and paid them much more than we are offering," Lily said anxiously.

In fact, Edward had already offered quite a hefty sum of money for this specific article.

In the past, the media companies were very willing to take the articles down even when they were offered a lesser amount of money compared to now.

Lily was not stupid. She knew that someone was definitely pulling strings behind the scene in order to defame Edward, hence why the media companies were making things difficult for them.

Someone was obviously plotting against Edward.

In fact, she had witnessed how affectionate Edward and Irene were to each other. There was no way that her boss would cheat on his wife.

"I see. Talk to them again and offer them double the amount of money given by the other party. Make sure that they remove it immediately. I don't want to see this article still circulating!"

Edward could only solve this issue with even more money.

As long as money could resolve the matter, he would not be stingy. Moreover, he needed to be there for Irene right now. She had just received such shocking news, so he was very worried about her.

"Okay, Mr. Wilson. Don't worry, leave this to me," Lily said, before she left to carry out his orders carefully.

She also hoped that Irene would believe Edward, because she was a nice person who treated the staff with dignity and respect. Every time she paid her husband a visit, she would speak to Lily in a polite manner, making her life as a secretary a lot easier.

Irene was not like Celine, who always told her not to inform Edward of her arrival. Lily always found it difficult, because her boss had specifically ordered her not to let anyone into his office. Moreover, Celine always behaved high and mighty around her, treating her with disrespect.

As Lily stepped out of the office, she saw that Eric had come to visit Edward. She knew that they both disliked each other mutually, so he was probably here to enjoy the drama. Still, she needed to greet him properly.

"Hello, Mr. Wilson."

Lily gave her greetings politely, but she was still in a hurry to complete the task that Edward had given her.

"Mm, hello there. Edward should have both his hands tied right now. And you should probably carry out his orders quickly," Eric said haughtily.

In fact, Eric had only offered the media companies a small sum of money to keep the articles online.

He simply told them that if they informed Edward that someone else offered a higher price, so they refused to withdraw the news, then they would definitely fetch an unexpected price. After all, nobody would turn down an opportunity to earn more money.

Edward wanted to fight with him, so he had to be prepared. He wanted to make him suffer a fate worse than death.

Eric smiled wickedly, for he knew that things were going exactly as he planned, and some things turned out better than he had expected—the miserable plight of the two siblings from the Jones family.

"Where are you going, Edward? How did you end up on the news? Did you not know that Irene must not receive this sort of shock? I mean, she's pregnant. Don't worry, I can understand where you're coming from. She can't satisfy you when she is pregnant, but you must be careful not to get caught."

Eric waltzed into the room without knocking, feigning his concern for Edward. Truth be told, they both despised and looked down on each other, playing mind games with the other party whenever they could.

"I don't need you to tell me that. No need for your formalities, just get out of here. I'm going out." Edward said disdainfully.

Both of them were always going head to head with each other, so why did they need to feign their concern and say such disgusting words?

"Edward, I know how you feel. I don't blame you, but did you not notice the many reporters currently swarming the building? They have been here for a long time, waiting for an opportunity to speak with you," Eric said.

In fact, he rejoiced internally when he saw Edward's suffering. He was here to watch a good show unfold before his eyes.
