Revenge Against My Ex-husband

Chapter 34 Gone Too Far



Chapter 34 Gone Too Far

Jordan's grandfather soon heard about his son going on a blind date show to pursue a divorced single

mother. He called Jordan from abroad, "Kid, haven't you gone too far recently?"

"You even care about this kind of thing now? Don't you have too much free time?" Jordan retorted.

"Don't dip your pen in the company ink. You need to remember that!" Jordan's grandfather snorted.

"That's only because their ink is not good enough!" Jordan refuted.

"So this is for real?" The old man detected the undertone of Jordan's reply. "I'm warning you. My

bottom line is that I might be able to accept a woman you love who doesn't have a similar background.

But I won't even open a discussion with you if she is a divorced single mother!"

"What if the child is mine?" Jordan said casually.

"The child is yours?" Jordan's grandfather was stunned. His grandson was an infamous womanizer RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

who might actually be the child's father. "If it was really your son, I may allow it!"

Jordan laughed and said, "Then I'll thank you first, grandpa!"

Jordan hung up the phone and leaned back in his chair. How could he be so troubled if it were his

child? His grandfather was a smart man. Even though he said so now, he might not accept Irene. After

all, it was not easy to fool the old man and convince him the child was Jordan's.

Jordan rubbed his forehead. "This woman seemed to have rooted in my heart. What should I do?"

The story about Jordan's appearance on the blind date show was printed on a newspaper in front of

Edric, who had been gloomy and silent the whole morning. He was never interested in entertainment

news, but he glanced at the paper subconsciously when he saw Jordan's name on it.

He felt chest congestion once he started reading. "This playboy really knows how to court a woman. He

even went on that kind of a show without regard for his identity and status."

Although Jordan's attempt failed, it still made Edric feel heavy-hearted, as if a boulder was sitting on his

chest.

He wasn't convinced that Irene would really go on the show to find a man. Nor did he believe that Irene

was a single mother. Kinsey was the producer of the show. It was obvious that Kinsey only pulled Irene

there to make up the numbers.

And there was only one reason why Irene agreed to attend the show: she was short of money!

It was hard to believe that a woman who didn't hesitate to divorce a billionaire and left without a penny

would be short of money. But Irene really was such a person.

She would rather earn her own money with her own hands than lower her head and stoop to

compromise. She must have had a hard life in the past three years.

Edric kicked her out, left her penniless, and even made sure she couldn't find a job. He thought that he

could force her to come back to him eventually if he blocked her ways. But he never expected that

Irene just went down the hard path and never looked back, no matter what he did.

No! It was not that she had never turned back before. She would only do it for the person she chose,

like Nathan.

She could go to beg Nathan's mother to approve her and Nathan. But she would never lower her head

to Edric's mother for him.

She was willing to turn back for Nathan but would never do so for Edric.

This was the difference. Edric felt heartbroken whenever he was reminded of the difference between

him and Nathan. People's feelings could get hurt. But Irene didn't seem to acknowledge that.

She was married to Edric for three years. It was said that the love between a wife and a husband

should last forever. However, their five-year relationship wasn't a match for the few months she spent

with Nathan!

Edric smiled bitterly. Was he too stubborn and too stupid? Or was Irene too cruel? Edric grabbed the

newspaper on the table and slowly crumpled it into a ball. "Irene, I don't believe that your heart is made

of stone. Even if it is made of stone, I will find a way to warm it up!

This time, I won't let you disappear in front of me again! I swear!

The interview was released two days later. Irene received a call from Kinsey when she was having

dinner at home. "Your interview will be on tonight. Don't forget to watch it."

Irene was busy as a bee and had no time for TV. She didn't take the interview seriously, but it didn't

mean that others didn't either.

The blind date show was extremely popular in San Fetillo because of Jordan's participation. Everyone

had been talking and gossiping about the show during their free time.

The online press also followed the show closely and reported it on the front page all day long.

It was impossible for Lily and Deborah not to pay attention to it. The frenetic excitement of online media

worried them.

It never occurred to them that Irene would gain so much traction because of a blind date program.

Irene's popularity was not a good thing for Deborah and her daughter.

Deborah and Lily always hoped that Irene could live a dreadful life and never achieve anything.

But things apparently didn't follow their plan. Deborah and Lily realized that Irene had a great chance to

marry into a rich and powerful family since Jordan, a man with extraordinary ability and background,

got involved by going on the show.

Deborah and Lily would face considerable pressure if Irene really married Jordan. Of course, what

scared them the most was not Irene marrying into a wealthy family but the public opinion.

The internet was well-developed these days. A vast number of people who were curious about Irene

had been saying that they wanted to find out who she was. Things would be bad for Deborah and Lily if

people figured out Irene's real identity.

If Irene's identity were exposed, people would definitely find out that Deborah was a mistress. Deborah

and Lily would have no way to live if people dug up everything that happened between Irene and Edric

and how they divorced because of Lily's pregnancy.

Most importantly, Steven had an affair with Deborah before they got married. It was a fatal blow to a

high-level government official.

The good days of Deborah and Lily would come to an end if Steven lost his position. As a result, the

engagement between Edric and Lily would be broken off as well.

Margaret was a tough person. She would never accept Lily if Steven were not in power. She would

definitely order her son to stay away from Lily without mercy, just as she did with Irene in the past.

Deborah and her daughter were worried sick. They had no choice but to stay at home and quietly keep

an eye on the news about Irene since they couldn't tell anyone about their concerns. They both got

sweaty palms when they heard about the guests' interview on the blind date show. Would Irene throw

mud at them in the interview?

Deborah and Lily were not in the mood for dinner. Instead, they waited for an interview in front of the

TV. Irene was not the only one who was interviewed. All the popular guests in the recent episodes were

included. The audience watched the edited version in which Irene didn't disclose her identity or mention

much about the past.

However, the program team played up Irene's requirements for men for the sake of publicity and

promotion.

Irene's slogan was to rufuse the in-law relationship! Deborah and Lily both sighed with relief after

watching the interview.

Lily turned off the TV with the remote control. Their mood improved as they felt more relaxed, but they

hated Irene more when they thought about how she recently put them in a state of nerves.

They had to find a way to get back at Irene to vent their anger.

They were both vicious by nature. Lily immediately thought of Irene's criteria for men. Her eyes lit up.

"Mom, don't you agree that Irene is looking for trouble? She said that she wants a motherless man.

Isn't that immoral? Even though no one wants to live with husband's mother, they can't just say it out

loud."

"True. Irene is so reckless and stupid. She must be traumatized by Margaret's abuse back in the days,"

Deborah answered.

"She shouldn't have said that even if she was traumatized. She is just handing people a weapon to

attack her, isn't she?" Lily sneered when she mentioned the weapon. "Mom, I came up with an idea.

Irene is quite famous right now. I can find someone to make up something and shift the direction of

public opinion to make her infamous."

"Can you do that?" Deborah was skeptical. She was less knowledgeable than her daughter when it

came to the internet.

"Of course. This is the age of the internet. I just need to find some trolls to attack her online. It's hard

not to defame her!" Lily was excited just by thinking about it. Irene would immediately become a

disgraced internet celebrity if her plan worked.

Although Deborah didn't know much about the internet, she was also tempted by her daughter and

supported her idea.

Lily took action immediately. She spent a lot of money and hired several trolls to make personal attacks

on Irene. They gave a highly exaggerated account of Irene's selection criteria and said she only wanted

men who didn't care for their mothers.

Therefore, she must be a vicious and heartless woman who had no credibility. People online shouldn't

be deceived by her pretty face. The more beautiful and innocent she appeared, the dirtier her heart

would be…

The public could be misled easily when they strove to be righteous. Many people started to question

Irene after these posts appeared on major forums. Following the strong attack from the trolls, public

opinion was overturned instantly.

People who used to like and sympathize with Irene began to dislike her and attack her because of

these comments. Public opinion was powerful enough to send a person to heaven and banish him to

hell in the blink of an eye.

Lily held the computer and laughed happily when she saw the nasty comments people made on Irene.

Deborah also gave her daughter a thumbs-up. "My daughter is so skillful that she came up with such a

good idea."

Deborah and Lily were exhilarated that they achieved such an effect without much effort. Irene was

doomed now.

Poor Irene was still kept in the dark and had no idea that she was being slandered online.
