Infatuated with my Ex-wife novel Chapter 68

Edward had a cold and unforgiving glint in his eyes as he drove to Celine's apartment in a fit of rage.

It seemed like he had been too soft on her in the past. He wouldn't let things slide anymore.

Edward would no longer care about their relationship as childhood friends. Both Celine and the media manipulated this relationship, making it ambiguous and planting stressful doubt in Irene's heart. Unforgivable!

"Celine, I believe I've made things very clear to you, so I didn't think you'd lie blatantly to the media. You've gone too far this time, and your actions will have consequences. I'm sure you know what sort of person I am."

Edward yelled at Celine furiously the moment he set foot into her apartment. He could finally see her true colours.

He was extremely disgusted at how Celine had abused her status as his childhood friend to lure him into her devious trap to make rumours spread.

Edward didn't expect that the person he had known for so many years would scheme against him!

To think that he had always seen her in a pitiful light when she had always been plotting to harm Irene!

As it turned out, even he could be mistaken about a person's character. He felt ridiculed that he had once misunderstood Irene when the true manipulator had been by his side all this while.

"You're here, Edward. Come and have a seat while I pour you a cup of tea," Celine said gracefully. She was calm and collected, as if his harsh words weren't directed towards her.

"Those in the acting industry are really talented at concealing their emotions. True, how else would they fool the audience?" Edward thought.

But how could he be in the mood to watch her performance at such a time?

Edward's facial expression was cold and stony, invoking fear in whoever saw him. He looked like a fierce wolf which was ready to attack.

Celine wasn't immune to his wrath, but she feigned her calmness.

Eric, who knew how to handle Edward, had instructed her how to push his buttons.

She had to be infatuated with him, like she had nothing to lose.

All she had to do was to make Irene misunderstand their relationship, and she would automatically leave on her own. What could Edward do if Irene was disheartened?

In that case, she would win and get Edward all to herself, with no pesky Irene in the way.

Celine's smile brightened as she fantasized about her victory.

Step by step, everything that Eric and Celine had been working on was falling into place. Soon, she could make her childhood dream a reality.

"Save your performance for the camera, Celine. I'm sure you'll be awarded as the best actress with how talented you are. Enough, I'll get to the point, I want you to clarify our relationship to the media immediately."

Edward couldn't let things slide anymore. Celine had taken advantage of his soft spot for her and made herself look pitiful. She really couldn't have found a job that suited her better.

"What are you talking about, Edward? After all the time we spent together as kids, don't you know what kind of person I am? I didn't lie to the media, I really do love you," Celine said pitifully.

Crying was her best selling point as an actress. She knew how to look beautiful as she cried and make all who saw take pity on her. As she spoke, tears had welled up in her eyes.

Her teary eyes were very capable of evoking feelings of distress. They had pooled up in her eyes, threatening to spill over at any moment.

However, this wasn't the first time that Edward had seen her cry. Back then, he felt a twinge of concern in his heart and assumed that Irene's cruel schemes had hurt Celine.

So he had hated Irene and sympathized with Celine.

"Stop it, Celine! Just how much do you love putting on a show?! Haven't you done enough? You make me sick," Edward said sarcastically.
