Kathy was stunned. While she did come here on her own volition, she never expected to run into Irene here.Even so, she did not lay a finger on Irene!"I—"Isaac didn’t bother to listen to Kathy. "Debbie, see her out.""Yes, Mr. Jefferson."Debbie the secretary stepped in front of Kathy right then and gestured, "Please."Kathy tried to explain. "I didn't touch her!"Isaac simply ignored Kathy and turned away with Irene still in his arms, though he soon paused. "If this happens again, you won't be working for this company anymore."Kathy felt a chill running down her spine.She had done so much, yet Isaac still had no interest in her.Plus, Irene's provocation actually worked?Isaac himself had chased Irene away from his mansion! How did that woman return and seduce him? What tricks did Irene use to make him favor her so much?Kathy was absolutely livid!…As Isaac returned inside his office with Irene, he picked up some tissues and helped her wipe the coffee stains on her

At once, Irene was hit with a wave of awkwardness and embarrassment. "Yes, I love you," she admitted grumpily as she struggled against his hold. "Can you let go of me now?"Isaac chuckled. "Nope.""You're going to smother me if you keep holding me like this," she complained."I would never," he said quietly, and kissed her on her forehead.His kiss was as gentle as a summer breeze, tugging at one's heartstrings.Irene felt her heart skip a beat, and leaned against his chest.He was the first man whom she fell for—they were two individuals who would never have crossed paths, yet events brought them together almost by force.Perhaps this was their destiny…Bzzt—Isaac's cell phone on his desk began to ring, and Irene pulled away from his arms, saying, "Your phone is ringing."Isaac heard it but did not take it, so she picked it up instead. Seeing that Stan was calling, she said, "It's Stan. Something must be up."Isaac finally answered, and Stan quickly told him, "Take a loo

Isaac acted as if he did not see Henry’s indignation, and threw the scraps of the torn papers nonchalantly into the trash can. "If I want a divorce, we can handle it ourselves. You don't have to worry, Grandfather."With that, he sat opposite the old man, folding his legs casually. "Did you come to show me this? If that's so, I've seen it and showed you what I think."Henry's face was ashen. "Do you know who you're talking to?!"Before Isaac could respond, he continued, "You've seen the news, haven't you? Do you see what you've done? What good came of it?""You mean I should let Ian keep my wife and child, and let that be?" Isaac asked sharply in return.Henry was left speechless right then—his one mistake lost Isaac's patience and respect.It wasn’t as if Isaac never distrusted Henry. They both know how Isaac's parents died, but Henry persistently defended Greg.Even so, Isaac never turned against Henry—Isaac still regarded Henry as his grandfather despite his parents' murders,

Moneypenny clearly wanted to speak, but refrained from doing so. As he lowered his gaze, Henry snorted coldly, narrowing his turbid eyes. "You know very well that Isaac will definitely destroy Greg's family the moment I die. I need to take away all his power while he still can."As long as Isaac didn’t have that much power, it wouldn’t be easy for him to ruin Greg’s family.Moneypenny, however, believed Henry shouldn’t give up on Isaac so soon, rather than be harsh on Isaac. "Master Isaac had been helming the company over the years, and you were hardly present although you are board chairman. There's not much you can do, is there?""I've only given him leadership of the company, not the shares," Henry growled. He naturally had backup measures in place, because he could never get a read on Isaac—even if Isaac never sought revenge on Greg Jeffersons and his family. Moneypenny, however, believed that Henry was being paranoid, even misunderstanding Isaac. After Isaac’s parents d

As the realization dawned upon him, Stan exclaimed, "You were prepared for this? So long ago?"Naturally, the thought gave Stan confidence. It meant that they did not have to worry about Henry impeding them in any way. At this, even his tone lightened up considerably. "I didn't think he could be that heartless…"Henry would actually take back management of Sky Group!Isaac, however, remained impassive. It wasn’t as if he was pleased that the insurance he had prepared kept him safe—in truth, he was sorely disappointed.Irene could sense that Isaac wasn’t in a good mood, and had a rough idea why. Taking his hand, she said quietly, "I won't ever leave you."Even if those around him betrayed or deserted him, she would always stay by his side! Isaac looked into her eyes and gathered her into his arms, while Irene wrapped her arms around his slender waist.Self-aware as ever, Stan promptly stepped out of the office with his eyes averted, even closing the door behind him and telli

Irene didn’t expect that from Sheryl, and walked up to give her mother a hug from the back. "Thanks, Mom."Sheryl smiled and patted Irene’s hand. "You don't have to thank me, silly—I'm your mother. Of course I’ll wish the best for you," she said. She leaned in to whisper into Irene’s ear, saying, "I'm not blind, you know. I saw you two—""Mom!" Irene pouted in embarrassment."Alright, alright, I won't say it," Sheryl said, before adding solemnly. "Just be happy.""Don't worry, Mom." Irene assured her.Sherly laughed. "Okay. I’ll go cook now."Irene let go of Sheryl, and returned to the couch.Isaac did not pick up Tommy—he was sitting beside Tommy and staring at the baby, who was blinking his large, round eyes at Isaac. Tommy appeared curious and wasn’t throwing a fit, lying there unmoving as Isaac watched him.Irene poured Isaac a glass of water. "Why are you staring at him like that?"Isaac did not look up, and instead asked, "Do you want to keep being a doctor, or learn

Isaac smiled. "You’re very rich."Sheryl Harris was sitting at the dining table, smiling as she watched the two—she was pleased that her daughter found her happiness, and that Tommy now has a family."Come sit already," she urged—it wouldn’t do if the food got cold.Meanwhile, Isaac told Stan across the phone, "Contact me right away if you find anything unusual about Ricky."He hung up once Stan confirmed his orders, and headed to the dining table with Irene.Tommy was asleep, so they didn’t have to mind him. Sheryl was eagerly pushing food and soup to Isaac—she appeared happier with him the more they interacted."I'm not sure what you like, so I cooked a little something. Don't hold back."Isaac wasn’t uneasy—the mood around the dining table actually suited him. It had been a long while since he felt at home."Once Irene and I registered our marriage, please pick a date for us. I wish to give her a wedding," he said, offering Sheryl assurance while acknowledging and confir

Irene frowned worriedly. "I think I saw Ricky."Isaac turned towards where she was looking, but saw nothing. "Are you sure you're not mistaken?"Irene shook her head. "No."She couldn’t have been—it was obviously Ricky.He sounded frantic when she called him today, and he was acting all shady just now—something was clearly wrong with Ricky!Nonetheless, Isaac put an arm around Irene’s shoulder and said, "I've told Stan to look into him. He’d have something soon if Ricky really was messing around at Spencer Holdings. Come on, let's go."Irene nodded, feeling gradually uneasy. Her foreboding feeling soon came true!Stan discovered that Ricky was the one who leaked news about the casino ship."How could it be him?" Irene asked in disbelief. "He should have no reason to do it…"However, Ricky's unusual behavior meant otherwise."Did you find anything else? Has he been up to anything recently?” Irene kept on asking Stan."I did, but there's nothing unusual there," Stan replied.
