Chapter 106: Celine Has Gone Mad!
Chapter 106: Celine Has Gone Mad!
Edward had good taste in women. He had chosen a calm and fearless wife. Some of the shareholders
thought she resembled Madeline in her youth.
"Alright, let's call it a day. The meeting is over," Irene said.
After the shareholders left, Irene sat down on the chair exhaustedly. She had finally passed the test.
Irene gave Elio a call.
"Yeah, the company has been dealt with. I'll leave the rest to you."
Irene had never dealt with company affairs and was worried it would be bad for someone to teach her
how to manage it. The first person she thought of was Elio.
Elio was an honest and reliable friend. She had also known him for many years and had faith in him.
"No problem, Irene. You also don't have to be so polite with me," Elio said.
After a while, Irene also received a call from Claudia about the company.
"Everything's fine, Mum. Things are going smoothly."
"Thank you for your hard work, Irene. Now that Edward is not here... Alas," Claudia said sadly.
"Don't say that, Mum! This is my duty as his wife. I will take good care of the company until Edward
returns," Irene said in comfort.
"Oh, right. Now that Eric and Cameron have been defeated, we should quickly send them abroad and
leave them to rot," Claudia said. She didn't want to see both of them any longer. She was reminded of
Edward whenever she saw them.
On that note, Claudia felt very disgusted and sad. Cameron was ruthless! That was why she couldn't
be lenient on them. She had already given them enough chances.
"You have a point. I'll have someone arrange it right away, so they will be dealt with immediately," Irene
said. She quickly contacted someone and arranged it after she hung up.
...
The Wilson's estate.
"Dad, we should pack up as soon as possible. Now that Irene has gained the upper hand, Claudia and
Irene will definitely be out to get us! We've done many horrible things in the past," Eric said hurriedly.
Just when he thought victory was his, it had been taken away from him once more. Eric never expected
such a turn of events. He cursed the heavens for giving him a glimmer of hope, only to let him down
when he thought he would finally win. Was he such an amusing target?
"D*mn it, God! You're so blind!" Eric cursed.
Eric was the kind of person who would blame others and complain about everything. He did not
appreciate what had been given to him. Moreover, he was both lazy and evil. It would be strange if the
heavens actually blessed him with victory.
Cameron panicked when he heard what Eric said. He mumbled, "No, it can't be! They wouldn't be so
cruel. After all, I am their husband and father-in-law."
"Irene had lost her husband, and Claudia has lost her son. What do you think they'll do to us?" Eric
asked.
Hearing this, Cameron quickly packed up his things as well. Just as they were done and ready to leave
the house, they were caught by Irene's subordinates.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
"Let go of me! Where are you taking me? This is kidnapping! Do you understand?" Eric cried.
He hadn't expected Irene and Claudia would've acted so quickly.
"Tell Irene that I'm her father-in-law! She can't treat me like this! Also, tell Claudia that—" Cameron
yelled in a panic.
"Please tell Irene that I've admitted my mistakes! I know I'm wrong, so please ask her to let me go,
okay?" Eric begged for mercy.
The group of men in black remained unmoved as they stuffed them into a van and drove straight to the
airport.
When everything had been unloaded, both of them were pushed into the airport. They were sent on the
fastest departing international flight.
The escorts guarded them all the way, preventing them from doing any underhanded things. The men
would even follow them into the bathroom! Eric felt rather desperate.
Irene was going to kill him!
They weren't familiar with their surroundings when they arrived in a foreign country. They didn't even
have a place to stay. Forget trying to adjust to their new life, they lacked even their most basic needs—
food and clothing!
Irene was such a vicious and cruel woman!
Eric was very good at pushing the blame onto other people. He never admitted when things were his
own fault. If he never coveted what wasn't his, then he wouldn't have placed himself in such a situation!
In short, both Eric and Cameron were greedy people. Edward wasn't a narrow-minded individual. If he
had been honest from the start, he might've been given a position in the company and been given the
opportunity to manage things in peace.
What good would come from sending him abroad? Edward would never return! Hahaha!
Eric came to the conclusion that Irene wasn't doing any better than he was. He hadn't repented, and he
didn't feel guilty about what he had done.
Eric was like a venomous snake. He wouldn't be grateful for your kindness and would bite you instead.
He would continue to hold grudges and wait for an opportunity for revenge in the future.
Irene released a sigh of relief when she learned that both Eric and Cameron had boarded the plane.
The annoying people had finally been removed and would no longer be in their way.
Now, Irene hoped that they could quickly locate Edward. A few days had passed, but they still couldn't
find him! Irene didn't want to think about the worst-case scenario.
According to the hospital, Celine had woken up, but she had gone crazy. She would spend the rest of
her life in the mental hospital.
"Celine has actually gone crazy?" Irene thought. She couldn't believe it.
Irene decided to pay her a visit. Although she had gone crazy, she might be able to find out what
happened to Edward. Even if there was only a one-in-a-million chance she could get the information,
she would go.
...
Inside the mental hospital.
"The patient is in good health. She didn't hurt herself whenever she had an attack. She keeps
mumbling about being the wife of the Wilson's president when she's calm. She calls herself Mrs.
Wilson. When she gets mad, she would ask people why they preferred Irene over herself," explained
the doctor as he brought Irene into the ward.
...
"This is Celine's ward."
Celine was a special patient who was suspected of premeditated murder, so she was placed in a
separate ward.
Celine sat on the floor in a daze, and she looked particularly thin as she wore the baggy and oversized
hospital gown. She looked like she could be blown away by the wind.
Her hair was dry and yellow because she hadn't taken care of it in a while, and it was scattered on her
shoulders like straw. Her eyes were sunken in black and blue, and she looked like a ghost! It seemed
like she hadn't seen the sun in a long time.
She was holding a fabric doll in her hand. Her eyes were empty and unfocused. Celine was absent-
minded and mumbled incoherently.
It was a pitiful sight, but Irene felt quite relieved. She no longer looked like a vicious and scheming
woman.
Irene could hear what Celine said when she walked in.
"Irene, you b*tch!"
"Irene, why won't you die!"
"Irene, I hate you!"
Even though Celine had gone crazy, she still hated Irene. However, Celine had brought this upon
herself. There was no use for her to be angry at Irene.
"Celine, do you know who I am?"
Irene took back her sympathy. Celine was a lost cause and she would be wasting her kindness.
Celine looked up at her but lowered her head after a while.
"Say something, Celine! Do you know where Edward is?" Irene asked anxiously.
Celine seemed to react when she heard Edward's name, but she remained silent.
Irene was a little disappointed. It seemed like she couldn't get any information from Celine. She turned
around and was about to leave.
Suddenly, Celine stood up and grabbed Irene's neck with both hands with gritted teeth.
"I know who you are! Irene, you b*tch! It's all because of you! Edward left me because of you! He will
surely return to me if you die! I will kill you! I will kill you!"
Irene couldn't breathe. The doctors and nurses quickly realised what had happened and intervened.
They managed to subdue Celine.
One of the doctors shouted, "Where's the tranquilliser? Go get it!"
They had never expected Celine would suddenly behave like this. She had never done this before.
Celine snarled, "Irene, you will never see Edward again! Even if you find him, he will never love you
again. This is your retribution! Edward is mine. You b*tch, you can never take him away from me
anymore!"
Celine gradually calmed down because of the drugs. Irene breathed a sigh of relief as she coughed.
Still shaken, she touched her neck. Irene really wanted to leave this place. After all, there was no point
arguing with a madwoman.
However, Irene was quite disturbed by what Celine said. Was Edward really not going to return?
"I-It can't be! He will definitely come back. Charlotte and I are waiting for him." Irene thought.
Even if he really was dead, she had to see his corpse! She would never give up hope as long as she
didn't see his corpse.
...
Meanwhile, with Susie and Liam.
"Oh, right. Won't your parents complain if you bring me home like this?" Liam asked in worry. After all,
he was a stranger to her.
"My parents passed away a few years ago. I live alone with Keani," Susie said with some
disappointment.
A few years ago, Susie's parents were in an accident when they went out to sea. Unfortunately, their
bodies were never found.
Susie had received some compensation money and inherited the savings from her parents. As long as
she didn't spend a lot, she could survive off that money.
"I'm sorry. I didn't know," Liam said guiltily. He felt more pity for Susie.
"Oh, I'm fine. It's all in the past," Susie said.
Liam patted Susie's head when he saw her perk up.
"It feels nice to caress her," Liam thought.
