Margaret had a huge shock when she heard that Edric risked being hit by a car to save Irene. He had already gotten hurt because of her the time before. Margaret increasingly felt that Irene would only bring bad luck. If this went on, Irene would be the death of Edric.
She had to get Irene out of San Fetillo as soon as possible! Marie said that Irene's house had been burned down and she had nowhere to stay. Furthermore, she had also lost her job. It seemed like it was the right time to add fuel to the fire. Margaret would use this to negotiate with Irene and persuade her to leave San Fetillo.
Margaret felt like now was her window of opportunity. She gave Irene a phone call.

"Well, I just saw the news and found out what happened to your home. I sympathize with you," Margaret said.
