Michael calmly introduced who Irene Weber was, including how they knew each other since childhood, how they started dating, how they broke up and everything that happened after that. He even emphasized on how Irene harmed herself to frame Sophia but was caught.
After listening to Michael’s introduction, Sophia couldn’t help but sigh. “It seems that the Fletcher family really did ruin her life.”
Irene started dating Michael at the age of eighteen and dated him for over seven years. She didn’t expect Michael to retire from the army and enter the entertainment industry. At that time, Irene already had great achievements but she wanted more. She felt that Michael wasn’t able to take her up the social ladder. Furthermore, Michael’s sister and brother-in-law, who both had bright futures ahead of them, had passed away, which was why she quickly switched to rely on Joel and was with him for a few years. In the end, Joel abandoned her unexpectedly.
She wanted to return to Michael’s side but realized Michael was married, so she thought about Joel. However, Joel had gotten married too and he had married someone who Irene thought was a million times worse than herself. Now, Irene was almost forty years old and had wasted the best twenty years of her youth on these two men of the Fletcher family.
Even if she can’t marry Joel, she can still be a guest performer at the state banquet and a solo singer at the Spring Festival Gala. However, she doesn’t seem to cherish it. She’s never cherished what she has and always wants to climb the social ladder with the help of a man. It is naïve to want true love when she dates with a greed to become more successful.
The two walked into the courtyard and entered Mark’s house as Sophia silently listened to Michael’s introduction of Irene. It was really detailed and he explained everything clearly. In the end, Sophia couldn’t help but ask, “You’re being really honest. Aren’t you afraid that I might get angry?”
The current state of their relationship could be regarded as Michael pursuing her. It is rare for a man to talk about his ex-girlfriend honestly in front of a woman he is pursuing.
Michael put his hands in his pockets and looked really calm as he replied, “Why shouldn’t I be honest? It’s not like I’ve done anything wrong. Who doesn’t have a past?”
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Then, they changed the topic and walked over to Mark together. Meanwhile, Stanley, who was walking alongside them, couldn’t help but feel amazed. My uncle really is charming. He wasn’t afraid that Sophia would get upset and run away.
After staying in the Fletcher residence for one night, the group left the next day. Unexpectedly, when they returned to The Imperial, Sophia saw a woman standing by the gates. Isn’t that Irene who pestered Joel yesterday?
At that moment, Sophia suddenly recalled that she had seen Irene at the community gates before. Back then, Sarah had told her that Irene was a rat poison seller.
Their car stopped at the gates and the guards verified their identities. As soon as Michael’s car stopped, Irene suddenly rushed over and stood in front of his car.
“Mikey, I know that you’ll always be by my side! I know it—”
It had been two years since Irene’s return, so she naturally knew Michael was still alive. For the past two years, she occasionally wandered around The Imperial but she never managed to bump into Michael. When she found out that Michael had returned to the Fletcher residence yesterday, she had been waiting for an opportunity and finally managed to meet him at the gates of his community.
