Infatuated with my Ex-wife

Chapter 77 Villains Who Colluded Together

After all, Irene would still leave this place in the future.

Millicent kept her company until Edward returned. Irene wanted to sleep because she didn't want to talk

to him. He was aware of it and decided to remain silent.

When Claudia came back in the evening, she could feel Irene's indifferent attitude towards Edward.

She assumed that there was some sort of misunderstanding between them, otherwise Irene would not

have treated him so coldly.

Claudia was determined to get to the root of this problem and resolve matters between them.

"Take care, Irene. Don't worry too much and get some rest. I'll be taking my leave for now," Claudia

said in concern. She also wanted to pay her granddaughter a visit.

Ever since Irene was in confinement, Claudia had taken care of her granddaughter most of the time.

She had also hired a wet nurse for the child, but she still wanted to see how the baby was doing.

"Okay, Mum. Take care," Irene replied.

Edward and Irene were left alone in the ward once more. He looked at her quietly for a while, until she

broke the silence because she couldn't stand the silence anymore.

"Edward, I'll go to bed first. You should also sleep soon," Irene said before closing her eyes. She was

actually pretending to be asleep.

"Okay, Irene. Sleep tight, my dear," Edward said gently, a trace of helplessness in his voice.

In the past, Irene would find something to kill time as she waited for Edward to return home from work.

She'd watch TV, or she'd read some books late into the night.

Edward knew that Irene was giving him the cold shoulder because she had misunderstood something.

He was determined to straighten matters and resolve the situation.

Shortly after Irene was hospitalized, Edward moved some of his possessions into ward to make it

easier for him to take care of her. Now, even though they were married, she had her own beliefs and he

had his.

In the evening, Claudia went to pay Celine a visit. She was sure that this misunderstanding had

something to do with her.

Upon her arrival, Claudia was about to ring the doorbell when she noticed that the door was left ajar.

She decided to have a peek at what Celine was up to this time.

"What are you doing here, Eric? You know it would be bad for me if the paparazzi photographed us

together. My career in the entertainment circle is at stake!" Celine yelled.

In fact, she didn't like him at all. Sure, he had a handsome face, but he was a very cruel person. This

was something she found out after they had colluded with each other multiple times.

"Is there anything to fear, Celine? You should rejoice! Irene has fallen into our trap, and Edward has his

hands full with the company matters. He can't juggle everything at once! They're no match for us at all!"

Eric exclaimed sinisterly.

Eric approached Celine step by step as he spoke, placing his hand on her body and caressing her

ambiguously.

Claudia heard everything as she quietly set foot into Celine's apartment.

Sure enough, Celine was involved in it! However, she didn't expect Eric would also be in the picture.

"Hey! Keep your hands to yourself, Eric! Don't touch me!"

Celine knew what he wanted to do to her, but how could she allow herself to be bullied like this? She

glared at him in disgust, daring him to actually do it.

However, Eric ignored her fierce gaze and took a step closer to her. He rubbed her plump chest and

pressed his body against her on the sofa.

"Celine, do I really have to spell out our relationship? It's not like this is our first time together anyways."

Not only was he unafraid of Celine, but his lecherous hands wiggled their way into her undergarments.

It seemed like he wanted to strip her of her clothes.

"I'm warning you, Eric! I slept with you last time because I was drunk. Never again! Edward's the only

one I love—show me some respect, would you?!"

Whenever she recalled what he did to her that night, she boiled with rage. She wanted Edward to be

her very first partner, but Eric had stolen her virginity!

"Humph, you think Edward wants you? Do you even know what he did? Ever since that incident, he

pulled some strings so that nobody would cast you in their shows. If it weren't for me bribing those

directors with money, do you really think you can be the celebrity you are today?" Eric spoke

menacingly.

How could such a smart person like Celine not know?

"Eric, are you telling the truth? You're not lying to me?"

Celine wanted to be sure. Was Edward really so cruel to her? Did he really want to take away her job

and push her into a corner?

"Celine, we've worked together for so long. Have I ever lied to you? You've done such a wonderful job

at listening to my orders, and now everything has gone according to plan."

Eric kissed Celine's neck ambiguously as he spoke.

The room was gradually heating up.

Claudia, who was eavesdropping from a corner of the living room, knew what was going to happen

next and was about to take her leave. It seemed that she hadn't made this trip in vain after all, for she

managed to find out that Celine was colluding with Eric.

Claudia was disgusted with Celine, who proclaimed her love for Edward so brazenly to the media,

when she had been having intimate relations with Eric all along.

However, Claudia wasn't aware what they had planned next.

"Edward wants me to lose my job and my celebrity status? Then he can't blame me for what happens

next!"

Celine responded enthusiastically as she spoke. But she also felt very disappointed, for she didn't think

that Edward would be so cruel to her.

Since she couldn't keep Edward all to herself, she would destroy him with Eric's help! If she couldn't

have him, then nobody could! This was Celine's principle.

"That's right, Celine. Wouldn't it have been better for you if you had done this from the start? You

wouldn't end up like this either. But with us working together, Edward is no match for us!"

Eric was slowly putting his plan into motion. Celine was just a pawn for him to defeat Edward. He could

manipulate her easily because he knew her weaknesses.

"Eric, do you already have plan to bring both of them down? Remember, you must make them suffer! If

you aren't capable of doing that, get off me right now."

Celine was the type to take revenge on those who made her life difficult.

However, neither Edward nor Irene had done anything to her. It was her own selfish desire to harm

them.

Rage burned in Celine's eyes as she spoke, and Eric was pleased. It was exactly what he wanted.

"Celine, have I ever failed you? Don't worry, I have a plan. I'll definitely exceed your expectations," Eric

said with confidence.

He had already come up with a plan a long time ago. Now that Celine was on the same boat with him,

it was time to act.

"Really? Then you should quickly enact your strategy before you lose the opportunity!" Celine felt quite

upset that Eric was taking advantage of her.

Did he take her for a fool?

"It's already in motion, and things are going well. Don't misunderstand me, Celine," Eric spoke with a

sinister and fierce look in his eye. He thrust into her as soon as he finished speaking.

"Ugh-! Eric, do you want to die?!" Celine didn't expect he would move so suddenly. It really hurt.

Moreover, she couldn't wrap her head around it. He had already put his plan into motion, so there was

no need for her to sleep with him now. Wasn't he just taking advantage of her?

"Just bear with the pain, Celine. It's more effective this way. Hey now, I still value my life. Though,

where do you think you'd find another a capable partner like me? Hmm?" This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

A disturbing smile appeared on his face as he spoke. His plan had been set in motion and was steadily

approaching his goal.

What about Celine? Why, she was merely a pawn at his disposal.
