When this woman was mentioned, Lareina's face flashed with a hint of hatred. As a woman, it was impossible for her not to blame her when her own family had been broken up.
"She should be calling her by that name. She was previously called Anna Jones, but later on, I met her by chance for a few times, which was why I heard others say that she was April Jones. I wonder if she wanted to erase her disgraceful past, which was why she changed her name. It was hard to conceal the anger and hatred in Lareina's words.
Lily frowned, she could understand how Lareina hated that kind of women that break other people's family.
Edwards's heart started to ache for his mother. Thinking about how cold he had been to her all these years, he felt an incomparable amount of regret and self—blame himself.
"Mom, wasn't this April Jones too excessive back then?" In Edwards's memory, his mother would always wash her face with tears, she had never been happy before. In the past, when he was young, he did not understand why his mother would be unhappy every day. Sometimes, he would even shout at his mother that his father did not like staying at home, it was all because of her crying appearance.
Lareina let out a sad laugh, "That's right, other people are all very low-key when it comes to being a mistress, they are all afraid that their original wife would discover that. But this April Jones, on the other hand, is very high-profile, she would frequently call me to show off and also sent me many intimate photos of your father. In some banquets, she would intentionally dress up very sexy and appear on the stage, taking away all the limelight from other women.
This point, both Edwards and Lily agreed with him.
In short, this kind of hopeless and dark life has been going on for many years, I have really given up on living and sometimes I can't accept it, you are both young and I was really forced to marry someone with no future, no colour, until the incident of your father's car accident happened and then I realized, my life, it was already so terrible, so I made a ruthless decision to leave Wayne Family, to live my life, Edwards, I have let you two brothers down. When Lareina mentioned those dark and gloomy days back then, her face was still extremely pale. She had had nightmares about the prison like life back then and when she thought about it, her heart trembled.
Edwards shook his head: "No, I already don't hate you. You have endured so many years for us, brother and I know what you have done for us.
Lily turned and glanced at the man beside him who seemed to be relieved. He only felt that his eyebrows and eyes lacked a cold yet hard aura and gained a warm jade - like warmth.
To fall in love with such a man, she only felt at ease and at peace.
Tears welled up in Lareina' s eyes and she laughed: "I won't talk about the past, if you want to investigate, then go find April Jones. Your father has spent more time with her than he has with me."
"Alright, I will look for her!" Edwards secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He had finally found a way out.
When they left Lareina's home, both Edwards and Lily's expressions were extremely solemn. Although they had a breakthrough, this woman was not as easy to talk about as Lareina, who would tell them everything.
"Next, are we really going to look for April Jones?" Lily asked softly.
"Yes and I'll go in the afternoon!" Edwards still wanted to rush over and find the evidence, what if John Wayne got it first, then all the evidence would disappear.
"I'll accompany you!" Lily was also very anxious to learn more. Maybe it was out of curiosity, but mostly it was out of concern for him.
"No need. You can go to the company. I'll go with Josh in the afternoon!" Edwards said softly.
After Lily heard it, he did not insist, "Alright, send me to the company!"
Lily got off the car in front of the company building and after warning Edwards a few times, he finally saw his car off.
