Revenge Against My Ex-husband
Chapter 246 Kidnapping

She had promised to stay with Nathan and forgive him. However, the reality presented a bigger problem than she thought. Rowane was her younger sister, and they had the same blood flowing in their veins after all. She was not able to accept a man who had an affair with her younger sister.

However, it was not a matter of whether she could accept what had happened or not. It was Rowane who was indeed in love with Nathan. When she observed her affection towards Nathan and remembered the fact that she was pregnant, Irene wished to persuade Nathan to accept Rowane.

Ever since she had said that sentence at the hospital that day, Nathan avoided spending time alone with Irene. He did not want Irene to tell him to take responsibility for Rowane. Meanwhile, Irene was in a difficult position as well. Nathan had wasted nine years of his youth with her, so how could she ask him to marry Rowane?

She was hesitant, so Kinsey came to advise her as well, "Irene, give Edric one more chance."

"Why are you guys speaking on Edric's behalf recently? Didn't you guys used to hate him?" "That was in the past, but it's the present now. We all think that Edric is not that bad of a person."

"Who are you referring to as 'we'?" Irene joked. Recently, Kinsey and Jordan had recently been quite close. Irene could see the passion in Kinsey's eyes for him. She could not believe that this silly girl was falling in love, so she felt proud of her.

"Who else? Jordan, of course!" Kinsey glared at Irene before adding, "My heart is not as delicate as yours. If I like someone, I will speak up and work towards my goal clearly. Unlike you who bottles everything up in your heart and takes everything into account. You're complicating everything!"

"How could I not be in difficulty?" Irene sighed, "I had promised to marry him, but now I'm going to tell him to marry another woman. I know he'll listen to me, but will that be good for him? Will he be happy?" Kinsey fell quiet for a moment before asking her out of a sudden, "Irene, can I ask you a question? Between Edric and Nathan, who holds a more important place in your heart?"

Irene was questioning herself too. Who was more important to her? It used to be Edric, but she was more concerned about Nathan. Her feelings towards Nathan could not count as nothing. "Since you haven't moved on from Edric after so many years, he must be the one for you. On the other hand, Nathan has always been infatuated with you and he has sacrificed a lot for you. Ask yourself carefully Irene, who do you love because he is meant to be yours, and who do you love as a friend?"

"I..." Irene asked herself. Did she really not love Edric anymore? No! She had always loved him. As she loved him, she could not tolerate his betrayal. As she loved him, she had always held a grudge against him in her heart. However, her feelings for Nathan were complex. Maybe she was just grateful to have him as someone to rely on instead.

"Nathan needs a woman who can love him with all her heart, not a woman who has another man in her heart. If you cannot give Nathan the love he deserves, then it's better to leave him. You should share your thoughts with him instead of sitting here and thinking all by yourself." Kinsey's tone grew serious, "Nathan has gone through a lot for you all these years. How much longer should Nathan wait for you? Rowane is now pregnant with Nathan's baby. For Nathan's happiness, it would only be good if you get back with Edric. If you're unhappy, how will Nathan be happy too?"

Kinsey's last sentence was correct. If she was not happy, how would Nathan move on from her to replace his happiness? Rowane was gentle and kind, so she could bring joy to Nathan. It was better to cut short the sorrows and tell Nathan what she thought about this matter.

Someone had told Eden that Rowane was pregnant with Nathan's child. So, Eden approached Irene sadly and asked, "Mom, if Aunt Rowane is pregnant with Uncle Nathan's baby, does that mean you won't marry Uncle Nathan anymore?"

Irene nodded and replied, "Yes. Since Rowane is pregnant with Nathan's child, I won't be able to marry Nathan. Are you sad because your wish isn't fulfilled, Eden?"

"Kinda," Eden answered, "Although I wished that Nathan could be my father, Kinsey said that the baby you're pregnant with belongs to Dad. This means that I already have a father. Although Dad was ridiculous last time, he now treats me well and so does Grandma. So, Kinsey told me to give Dad a chance. Mom, will you give Dad one more chance?"

"Are you willing to give Dad a chance?"

"If Mom is willing, I will give Dad a chance too."

Irene rubbed Eden's head and said, "You're such a good boy," Suddenly, she sensed that someone was staring at her from behind. She turned around and saw Nathan behind her and Eden. "Nathan, since when did you come?"

"I just got here," Nathan walked towards them, "Irene, let's have a chat!"

Irene nodded and went to the garden together with Nathan. Nathan helped her sit on the bench before asking, "Irene, do you believe in fate?"

Irene shook her head. She did not know why Nathan would bring that up.

Nathan stared at her gorgeous face and said, "I didn't believe in it in the past either. I truly believe that hard work will lead to success, but now I believe that fate does exist!" He continued, "Ever since the matte has occurred, I've been in a dilemma and I didn't dare to face you. After thinking about it for a few days and observing from the sidelines, I finally dare to tell you this now."

Irene sighed and said, "I'm sorry, Nathan. It's all my fault."

"No! This has nothing to do with you. Irene, it's my fault. My love wasn't strong enough. After interacting all this while, I've realized that Rowane is a good lady. She's as gentle and kind as you are and she's as pure and lovely. She is a good choice for me, and I've realized that I've already fallen for her. So, I'm sorry, Irene. I've decided to cancel our engagement."

Those were not Nathan's true feelings. Instead, what he really wanted to say was, "Irene, I had really loved you. I'd love you for so many years, and I'd always believed that I had the determination to love you. I really wished that you could stay by my side for me to love you for the rest of your life. However, now, I cannot be selfish."

"To love someone is to make her happy. I don't think I am that noble. I just don't want to see you in an awkward position and be in a difficult position. So I have to take the initiative to let go of you." "Nathan!" Irene's eyes were brimming with tears. Even an idiot would know why Nathan was taking the initiative to break off the engagement. "Thank you for thinking for my sake. I'm sorry!"

"I'm not as noble as you think. I really do like Rowane, and she's pregnant with my child. I also realized that my age is catching up, so it's time to have a family," Indeed, he liked Rowane, but it was not love. Being with Rowane was his responsibility. Rowane was pregnant with his child, so he could not let her down. More importantly, Irene would be at ease and happy.

"I've already told Britney about this. First, we'll hold the engagement ceremony with Rowane. After that, we'll get married. Britney has already gotten someone to make the preparations. I hope that you'll be able to attend my engagement ceremony."

Irene nodded, "I'll definitely give you my blessings. Nathan, you must always be happy, okay?"

The news of Nathan's marriage with Rowane was soon known to everyone. Everyone sincerely wished them happiness. Edric took the initiative to hold Nathan's hand and wished him, "Nathan, congratulations!"

Nathan had to be happy. That was the true meaning behind Edric's words. He really admired Nathan for sacrificing so much for his love. A kind person like Nathan had to be happy. He must be! Nathan's joy had originally come from Irene. So, he would be satisfied only when she was happy!

Nathan's engagement with Rowane was announced to the public immediately. Naturally, Joanne heard the news while she was in Mencodia. When she knew that Rowane was actually Irene's younger sister, Joanne felt uneasy. First, it had been Irene. Now, Rowane appeared. Had she plotted all this while in vain?

Joanne was unhappy at first, but something even more unpleasant happened. Under the Reed Family's pressure, Joanne's parents initiated the breaking of her engagement with the Reed Family. Joanne had been waiting for Jordan to marry her after three years. She had not expected her parents to be the ones to initiate the annulment. She was going mad.

It was all that b*tch, Irene's fault. If it was not for Irene, she would not become like this. Joanne returned to Haverland in a fit of rage.

Joanne was plotting something. As Irene had ruined her happiness, she would never let Irene go. She had to make Irene pay the price.

Hearing that Lily was now a bargirl at a lowly bar, Joanne went to search for Lily herself to convince Lily to take revenge on Irene with her plan.

Since Lily was in such a dreaded situation, she felt extremely unsatisfied with her predicament. Hence, they chose to cooperate and discussed how teach Irene a good lesson.

Joanne and Lily reached a conclusion. Joanne would fund their operation, and Lily would take action on Irene when she was accompanying Eden at the hospital. It would be best if they managed to kidnap both Irene and Eden.

Lily had gotten in a relationship with

a gangster to be protected from Jackson. The gangster was a thug who watched the bar. He was named Wayne Reed. Lily had flirted with Wayne as he had looked like a hero in the bar and she hoped that he could assist her in the operation. Now that Joanne was proposing some cash for her to punish Irene, she immediately thought of Wayne. Wayne could settle the matter

without her worrying.

Of course, there was another reason why she wanted Wayne to do this. Lily had thought of the escape plan. Since Wayne would be executing the operation, it would have nothing to do with her. By the time Joanne paid her the money, she would take it and flee far away.

When they got home in the evening, Lily told Wayne about the matter. When Wayne heard that there was cash involved, he agreed.

After Wayne agreed, Joanne paid him a sum as a deposit. The balance would be paid once Wayne completed the kidnapping mission.

After Wayne thought about it for a few days, he changed his mind and said that the matter should not be settled that way. The reason other people was kidnapped was due to money, but instead, they were doing it for murder. Security was tight recently, and no one could escape from murder. There had to be another way to handle the situation.

Lily asked for his opinion for another method, but Wayne then questioned their purpose of kidnapping. Lily answered that it was for revenge which Wayne suggested that the best revenge was not killing someone, but to make the person suffer a life worse than death.

Wayne proposed to kidnap Irene, hit her on the head, and then kick her until her water broke. By the time that happened, she would not even know who the kidnapper was, and they could also relieve their anger. Then, Irene's son would not have anyone to save him because there would be no more umbilical cord.

It would be safer that way, too, since they were not killing someone instantly.

Lily updated Joanne about Wayne's proposal. Joanne's eyes lit up. How could she not think of that solution in the first place? Killing the baby would make Eden lose his vital umbilical cord. That would do more pain to Irene than killing her. Hence, she agreed.

After discussing the plan, Wayne

arranged for someone to kidnap

Irene in the hospital. Joanne and Lily

were waiting at the extraction point for their target. After a few hours, a black car appeared in front of them. The impregnated Irene was pushed down from the car with her eyes covered and hands tied. Irene was then dragged into the house. Joanne

chased after her and kicked her tummy as she shouted, "You fool! I'll make you suffer! I'm gonna kill you today!"

Lily refused to have any mercy against Irene, who was pregnant, and joined Joanne. Soon, Irene, who was pregnant, fell to the ground as blood covered her body.
