Revenge Against My Ex-husband
Chapter 77 Champion

Edric had married Irene for three years, but he didn't know that she could play the piano!

On the contrary, Jordan was not surprised by the fact that Irene was so talented. She used to be the apple in Steven's eyes. Thus, it was normal for her to learn the piano from a young age.

He walked to Irene's side and crouched down before he allowed his fingers to dance their ways on the piano keys gracefully. They had never played the piano together before, but they played in perfect harmony!

"It is a four-hands performance! Oh my! I didn't expect Mr. Reed and Irene to have such unique skills! How romantic would it be if they are married in the future?" Randy's mouth was agape. When he saw Edric's cold gaze, he shut his mouth instantly.

The mellifluous piano sound echoed in the hall. As the song came to an end, they looked at each other and smiled, their faces glowed under the spotlight.

After a long time only the onlookers came back to their senses and began to applaud, and the thunderous ovation lasted for a long time.

Irene and Jordan were doubtlessly the champions of that night's performances.

Adam, who was the host of the party, handed the prize to Jordan and gave him a bunch of keys. "Mr. Reed, enjoy a romantic night of starlight with your beauty!"

Jordan took the key and marched through the crowd while holding Irene's hand. He said with a playful smile on his face, "Everyone, we're going to enjoy a romantic night of starlight!"

Randy whistled and advised, "Be careful, don't wear her out! Give her some room to breathe."

"Don't worry, I know how to treat my woman well!" Jordan patted his chest.

"Mr. Reed, do you want something to liven up? I have some in my room!" Randy leaned in.

"There's no need for that. I can erect right after the clothes are off!" Jordan said as he reached out and carried Irene in his arms. He passed through the crowd and strode to the door of the hall in front of everyone's eyes.

Seeing Jordan going straight to the most luxurious room on the cruise with Irene in his arms, Edric's face turned livid. Suddenly, he pushed the crowd away; he was about to rush over.

"Edric!" Rowane grabbed his hand quickly at his side.

"Let go!" Edric seethed.

"If they want to be together, you can't stop them." Rowane lowered her voice.

"How would I know if I don't try?"

"Don't you know her temper? I'm afraid that if you stop her, she will only do the opposite."

Rowane's reminder made Edric stand rooted to the ground. Rowane was right. Irene was a lady of her own mind. If he went out to catch her at this moment, she would definitely go against him out of anger.

"She is a mother. A mother won't leave her child behind no matter what!"

These words made Edric feel a little better. He flounced himself down on the sofa in the hall dejectedly.

He could only wait there to see if Irene would go home.

Jordan carried Irene into the presidential suite, and she was shocked by the luxuriance. Jordan opened the wine cabinet, poured two glasses of red wine, and handed one of them to Irene.

Irene took a sip and paced around the room. She then went to the private deck to have a look. It was pitch-black out there; she could only see a few lights on.

She turned around with a dull mood. "Is there nothing special about this presidential suite except its luxuriance?"

"Of course there is!" Jordan picked up the remote control and pressed it. Soon enough, a large starry sky appeared on the ceiling over the bed.

"Wow! It's breathtaking!" Irene remarked.

"Do you want to try lying on the bed?" asked Jordan.

"Of course!" Irene climbed onto the huge, soft bed and looked up at the bright starry sky. Jordan followed suit.

"This is designed for couples." Jordan reached out and fiddled with Irene's long hair. "On such a romantic night, we can drink red wine, admire the starry sky and make love to each other!" "You are so annoying!" Irene glared at him.

Jordan planted a kiss on her face. "Don't worry. Unless you give me your consent, I won't touch you!"

Time passed by. After more than two hours, Jordan and Irene still had not come out of the suite.

Edric felt a chill in his heart. "What are they doing inside?"

It was a super luxurious room where one could see the stars on the bed. It was a magnificent room where many rich people brought their girlfriends to.

"She must be lying on the bed with Jordan, drinking red wine and enjoying the picturesque scenery. It would be fine if they just do these," he thought to himself.

Edric thought of what Jordan had said. "Every position." Jordan was well-known for being a womanizer.

Edric couldn't bear to imagine the heated scene in the room. He got up abruptly and strode to the exit.

"Edric!" Rowane chased after him in her high heels. When she got off the cruise, Edric's car was disappearing from her sight like a flying arrow.

Edric stepped on the gas pedal forcefully, and the car sped up instantly with a loud noise. The pedestrians avoided it quickly. Only a few seconds later, the number on the panel exceeded the speed limit. "You're now driving beyond the limit. Please drive within the speed limit!" The speed limit system in the car reminded Edric, but Edric paid no heed to it.

All he had in his mind was the scene of Irene and Jordan's four-hands performance, how they looked at each other affectionately, and Jordan's smiling face when he left with Irene in his arms.

It was as if his heart had fallen into an ice hole; he felt cold from the inside to the outside.

Anger and despair filled his mind. It was the feeling of the end of the world! He had lost his hope to stay alive!

At the same time, the sports car flashing across on the surveillance screen of San Fetillo Transport Department made the traffic police's eyes widened. "Does this person want to die?" Stop him quickly and get him off the car!"

After receiving the order, the traffic police began to intercept Edric. For a moment, piercing sirens rang out, and countless police cars started to go after Edric.

Edric was furious and kept stepping on the gas pedal desperately. He didn't even realize that he had become the target of the police.

It was not until more and more police cars joined in besieging him, and the sirens covered the roar of the sports car that he realized that something was wrong.

Edric parked the car on the side of the road, and the police who were chasing him surrounded him. When they saw that the driver was Edric, the police could only smile bitterly and let him go.

The matter had initially been settled, but as there was a large number of police cars involved, some onlookers recorded videos of the scene with their phones.

When the videos were posted on the Internet, netizens immediately found out the identity of the driver. The matter that had been concealed caught mass attention immediately.

Netizens began to demand that Edric shouldn't get special treatment. The issue caused a great sensation. Steven was infuriated after knowing about it, and stated that Edric should get the punishment he deserved.

As Edric committed reckless and dangerous driving, Steven ordered to severely punish him. Hence, Edric was detained for 15 days and fined, and his driver's license got revoked. Both the fine and the revoking of his driver's license were no big deal to Edric, but detainment was different.

As a result, the shares of the Myers Group were affected and suffered three limits down. Margaret was so irate that she almost fainted. However, Edric remained calm. He ordered the company's public relations team to issue an apology statement before he calmly entered the detention centre.

Irene soon learned about the big news. Jordan looked at the newspaper and shook his head. "If it weren't for his future father-in-law, Edric would just be fined and get his driving license revoked. Steven ordered such a severe punishment for his own reputation. Edric's arrest is unnecessary!"

"That's right." David continued, "The engagement of Edric and Mr. Cook's daughter is supposed to take place in these few days, but it can't be held as scheduled because of the detainment. Edric should be enraged!"

"If you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten that Edric's engagement date is indeed in these two days. It's strange that a person who is about to get engaged went on a joyride." Jordan frowned. "Is it possible that Edric doesn't want to be engaged to Lily and created this mess on purpose?"

"That's possible. Isn't he with Rowane now? Maybe it's Edric's idea to avoid the engagement," David added.

"Edric is willing to pay such a high price for Rowane. He has lost billions of dollars in three days! It's really a lot!" Jordan sighed. "I guess he indeed loves Rowane."

Irene felt a burst of sorrow, hearing their words. Edric had cheated on her with Lily and divorced her without giving her any compensation, but he was willing to lose billions of dollars for another woman. Rowane must have a place in his heart.

Recalling Edric and Rowane's intimate interaction at several parties, she was consumed by a greater wave of sadness. Knowing that she was in a relationship with Jordan at the moment, and Edric was her past, Irene suppressed her overwhelming emotions immediately. Whatever Edric did had nothing to do with her anymore.

It was a great blow to Margaret that Edric went into detainment. She was sent to the hospital due to high blood pressure. Lying in the hospital bed, Margaret exhaled deeply. She wasn't enraged by the fact that they had lost billions of dollars. What distressed her the most was the damage to Edric's reputation.

Edric's image had been ruined completely this time. If it weren't for Steven and the severe punishment he issued, Edric wouldn't have been detained at all.

The more Margaret thought about it, the angrier she became. She picked up the phone and called Deborah. "What was Mr. Cook thinking? Others would try their best to cover it up and help Edric, but he gave orders to punish Edric. Doesn't he know that Edric and Lily are about to get engaged? Well, now that Edric is detained, the engagement has to be postponed!"

Of course, Deborah knew that the engagement was heavily affected. She was, in fact, much sadder than Margaret. However, when she heard Margaret's complaint, she could only keep a rein on her dissatisfaction and explain, "Steven had no choice. He was under the scrutiny of the public, so he had to lead by example!"

"Lead by example and send his son-in-law to prison?" Margaret sneered. "What benefit will you get for sending Edric to the detention center?" Deborah was exasperated. Yet, she continued to console Margaret in the gentlest voice. After a long struggle, Margaret finally ended the call. Deborah flumped back on the sofa, gasping for breath. "D*mn it! It is your son who caused the trouble but I have to apologize."

At this moment, Lily's crying rang out from upstairs. Upon hearing it, Deborah got up from the sofa and went upstairs.
