Ricky believed that Irene was very smart, and that her actions were governed by rules and reason. Could this whole thing be her ploy? To stage her own abduction after leaving Spencer Mansion, so that she did not draw suspicion on either Ricky or Sheryl?Did she only pretend to agree to marry Harvey? The more he thought about it, the more Ricky thought it was likely!…On the other hand, Harvey was racking his brains in his car after he left Spencer Mansion. Who would want to abduct Irene? However, just as he was at wit's end, Isaac's name came to mind."It must be him!" Harvey exclaimed, gaping and smacking himself on his lap. Why did he only remember that now? After all, that man certainly had the power to prevent him from finding out anything. In fact, who else could?Having come to a conclusion, he drove off to Light Group's office building to recover his bride, arriving in just half an hour.He stormed inside furiously, pushing away the front desk receptionists who
Isaac looked up at Stan just then, but did not deny it!As Stan came to a realization, he carefully suggested, "Sir, you shouldn't have rehired Kathy York in that case. Women are petty, and Ms. Spencer must have been upset to see her around. That's not going to work in a relationship."Isaac snorted. "A relationship? After she pushed me away to another woman?" Stan was stumped, but it was true—if Irene really was in love with Isaac, she would not be able to bear her man getting cozy with other women. People get territorial in relationships, after all. No one would be willing to share their partner if there is love involved!"Well, if she's not interested, you can just let her marry Harvey Gooding. Nothing good comes out of coercion, and you're not going to keep her confined for life, are you?"Isaac's visage turned cold. "I will not let her be with another man even if she's not interested."Stan was speechless. Did he just basically say 'if I can't have her, no one can?'Ho
"I'm busy. Get back to work," Isaac snapped impatiently.Kathy, however, was still not giving up. "Your grandfather is asking us to go. He's probably—""I will talk to him myself," Isaac said and started to leave his office, heading to the conference room since he was reluctant to stay and talk to her.She quickly gave chase and asked, "Why are you being so cold to me?" Isaac wheeled on her, frowning. "What, giving you a job isn't enough? Am I supposed to take care of you for the rest of your life now?"Kathy was stumped for a moment, and she quickly explained, "No… I just heard from your grandfather that I saved you, and that's why you had my silver crucifix. I remember saving a drowning boy as a child, too—aren't you being a little cold to your savior?""Then what do you think I should do?" Isaac asked coolly in return, chuckling and dissing even before she could reply. "I gave you a job for that, or is that not enough? What more do you want?"Kathy shook her head. "I don't w
Irene felt muddle-headed and almost conscious, but her eyelids felt too heavy for her to open her eyes.She was vaguely struggling against the darkness, but soon groggily fell asleep again.Isaac breathed a sigh of relief at that—she would not be this peaceful if she woke up.Still, the thought left him scowling, and her wedding dress was certainly an eyesore. She looked so beautiful in that dress, but wore it to throw herself into another man's arms… the very thought left his face ashen!This woman…!He hence started to rip off the wedding dress, unable to lean in to kiss her lips after ogling her naked form for a while, and pulled a blanket over her.Dragging what remained of the wedding dress out of the room and closing the door behind him before leaving the house, he handed the torn dress to the security guard. "Throw this.""Yes, sir." The security guard promptly did so, while Isaac returned inside and took a shower, changed into fresh clothes and lay down beside Irene.
Ricky bellowed furiously, "You lost my sister yourself, and you want us to help you?! You should be feeling lucky that we're not calling the cops on you!"Harvey, however, calmly replied, "Believe it or not, Irene has been taken away from me. Help me look if you want Tommy back, and I'm not returning the boy until she's found. I have no leads or evidence here, but I have a feeling it's Isaac Jefferson. If you can get something out of that man, I'll return Tommy to you immediately once I recover Irene. What do you think?""Do you really think Irene would fall for you, coercing like that?!" Sheryl snapped at him. "She's a mother, and she was just marrying you to keep Tommy safe. She hated you the instant you took him from her!"Harvey, however, did not care—he had already thought of that! And he learned that the end justifies the means… from Isaac Jefferson himself!"I'm going to keep looking," he said, and called in his men. "Get them out of here!"Ricky and Sheryl were walking o
"Well, as you can see for yourself—he's busy messing around with women," Sheryl explained. "Would he spare the time to abduct Irene? Maybe you're right, and she's on the run."Sheryl was confident that she knew men.In fact, after marrying Lionel and being betrayed by his adulterous behavior, she came to the conclusion that all men were pigs. And with a man like Isaac who could get any woman he wanted... Would he even bother stopping Irene's car and abducting her?If there was actual affection involved, why did they get a divorce?If they were really in love, would Irene hide Tommy from him? It was obvious that like Lionel, Isaac did not have a heart, leaving Irene disenchanted enough that she could agree to marry Harvey just to protect Tommy…That actually reminded Sheryl of something else just then. "Wait! Irene wouldn't have abandoned Tommy to run away alone!" she exclaimed."Maybe she wants to get away first, and then try to rescue Tommy after?" Ricky suggested. Sheryl
Over the last few days, Henry had been sulking. Although Moneypenny had voluntarily apologized and admitted to what he did, he had been coerced and actually deserved sympathy.However, Henry still allowed himself to be talked into splitting up Irene and Isaac's marriage!He had wanted someone to take care of Isaac, to give him a woman who can offer him a family… Only for everything to end up a mess!He did not even want to imagine how Isaac would react once he found out that he and Moneypenny had a hand in his divorce, along with the kidnapping of his son!What respect and kinship he held would vaporize, would it not?"Honestly, what should I do now?" It was not as if Henry had gotten senile—Moneypenny had spent of his life serving him and more than proved his loyalty. He was not about to send him to the gallows over one mistake!"Sir." Moneypenny bowed reverently then. "Perhaps I should confess to Master Isaac…""Forget it. Do you think you'd live with that temper of his? And
Henry was already feeling ill and irritable, but he still had to comfort Kathy as she continued her crying fit.That alone made Henry think less of her than Irene.Women could be delicate and their vulnerability might tug at the heartstrings of men, but being exceedingly spoiled would get on anyone's nerves. Henry was already feeling irritable, and he certainly did not have the patience to comfort someone else!"You told me you wanted me to get together with Isaac, right?" Kathy sobbed.Henry kept his patience as he told her, "Sit."At the same time, Moneypenny reminded her, "Say what you have to, but no one would understand you if you cry louder than you speak."Kathy glanced between him and Henry just then. Even though Henry was not visibly angry, he was a lot less mild than usual. She was naturally smart enough to notice Moneypenny's kindness, and quickly stopped sobbing. Having ensured that she was calm, she said, "Did you know? Isaac transferred me from the headquarters
