Zachary stopped in his tracks but did not turn around. "Don't ask. Everything she said is right—I've done her dirty."He was very clear about it, affording Irene no space to argue. "Take care of yourself, Zachary."Zachary heaved a deep sigh then, and left, while Irene returned to work.…Over at Spencer Mansion, Lulu was packing her belongings.Sheryl Harris was helping her, and she told Lulu, "You can visit anytime you want if you miss Irene. Think of this place as your home, and we have more rooms than we need. I'll save one so you can come here anytime."Lulu's toughness crumbled from Sheryl's warmth. Tears welled out of Lulu's eyes right then, and she firmly wiped it away. "Thank you." "It's no issue," Sheryl said, patting her on the back of her hand and adding mildly, "You're like a sister to Irene and you've helped her a lot. From where I'm standing, you're both my children."Lulu could not say anything then, because she was already choking with tears and would not

Harvey's words were a barenaked challenge."Really?" Isaac smiled faintly in response, his tone clear and rumbling as if emitted out of his chest.Harvey stared warily at him. "Yes, you'll definitely get upset if you saw—there's nothing between me and Irene, and I had the footage deleted because I don't want you to misunderstand."However, it would have been better if he did not explain. The more he did, the more others would feel like he had done something shady last night."I think you're just guilty that others would find out," Stan growled—his distaste toward Harvey did not happen overnight, and he had always thought Harvey shameless. Even Harvey himself felt that his attempts at explanation turned out badly.Stan now seemed certain that he did something wrong, while Isaac glowered intimidatingly. Could he really keep talking, given the situation? Or maybe he should show Isaac the videos he had… but would that not worsen the misunderstanding?Whatever. "Believe what y

Stan was suddenly afraid to show it.Harvey did not encrypt his computer because he probably did not expect it to be accessed by someone else. He even kept it on his desk, which was why Stan did not even need to really have to hack anything. After getting the footage, however, Stan took a look at it himself beforehand and knew that Isaac would definitely get upset after he saw it, and was suddenly unwilling to show it.Stan suggested, "It could just be a misunderstanding, right?"Isaac scowled right then—he might have accepted that if Stan had not said it, but now that he did, it clearly meant that there was something fishy. "Mrs. Watson," he called out.Mrs. Watson quickly hurried to him. "Yes, sir?""Take Tommy to his room." "Okay."Mrs. Watson was usually carrying Tommy around anyway, so the baby was used to her touch.After they left, Isaac turned back toward Stan. "Give it to me."Stan hesitated for a moment, and put the USB flash drive that he copied the files into

Irene's face fell the instant she saw that it was Harvey, and she wheeled on Ricky. "Is he why you've brought me here?"Ricky had no idea why she was upset, and so quickly explained, "He came to me and asked for a favor. I thought it's no big deal since he just wants to meet you, so I said yes. I can't refuse him since he promised to gather evidence that Whitney Cox killed my mom, so…"Harvey quickly walked up to them and apologized, "Look, I've realized my mistake, so I know that you're angry with me and would refuse to see me. That's why I had Ricky set up this meeting, so that I have a chance to say sorry. Is that alright?'"I just hope you won't do anything so childish again, and I'm not angry with you. You don't have to apologize, and I'm leaving if there's nothing else."After all, Irene could not care less about him now, and walked up to the curb to hail a taxi. Harvey quickly rushed up to her and caught her wrist. "You're already here—how about dinner together? This isn'

Ricky quickly stopped the car beside the road and asked, "What is it?"Irene, however, was staring at the woman as she entered the hotel.She quickly alighted, leaving Ricky mystified. "What are you doing, Irene?"Irene was heading straight to the hotel and told him, "Find a place to park your car and join me."Ricky had no idea what was happening, but did as he was told anyway.He stopped the car at the hotel parking lot before heading inside as well.Irene was already at the front desk, saying, "We're taking a room next to the lady just now.""Which lady?" the receptionist asked."The one who just came in. Layla Gooding.""Oh," the receptionist exclaimed in understanding. "She shares the room with a certain gentleman…""Mick Gooding, I presume?" Irene said. "You're acquainted?" the receptionist asked—why else would she know their names?"Yes," Irene replied, and the receptionist started to make the booking. She then asked, "They are staying at the presidential suite, a

The woman who stood at the door had her long hair tied up elegantly, and was dressed in a white tailored dress. Though she only had a pair of pearl earrings on, she appeared graceful despite the simplicity."You are…?" she asked as she watched Irene. Irene was left spacing out for a moment—the woman looked exactly like she did in the photo. Still, she quickly came to her senses and cried, "Please, you have to help me…"Behind her, Ricky kept up his act. "Get back here or I'll kill you! Did you think you could run from me?!"Irene then looked pleadingly at Layla, saying, "He'll kill me if I go with him—please, you have to help me!"Fortunately, Layla was kind enough to stop the man behind Irene. "Please let her go, or I'll have to call the cops.""She's my woman! I can do whatever I want! Mind your own business?!" Ricky snarled, really looking the part of a rogue just then, although he lacked the appearance to really look menacing. He took after his mother, and was good looki

Irene was going to explain herself when Layla said, "She had a fight with her boyfriend. I saw them and tried to help, so I let her in."Mick turned to level a sharp look at Irene. "Really?"Irene nodded. "Yes. It was a coincidence…""You know her, Mick?" As Layla glanced between Irene and Mick, Mick walked over to put a hand around her shoulder. "She's Stephen Carr's apprentice. I saw her when I met him."Layla's tone became even kinder just then. "You're a doctor?""Yes," Irene admitted.Suddenly, Layla held her head and frowned as if in pain."Another headache?" Mick asked mildly.Layla nodded. "Let's get you back inside for your meds." Mick led Layla inside, then turned back to Irene and warned, "I don't like people who pry into my private affairs. I won't play around if I find out that this wasn't a coincidence!"Irene said, "I'm not.""It'd better be!" Mick snapped before shutting the door. Still, Irene could hear Layla from inside. "You didn't have to be so loud.

It was empty with no sign of anyone inside, not even Tommy. Irene's heart almost leaped out of her throat just then. Where was everyone? Where had they gone?As panic seized her, she rushed out of the door, only to see a car driving inside.Jimmy the chauffeur alighted to open the door, and Isaac emerged with Tommy in his arms. Mrs. Watson came out as well, and she was carrying several bags.Irene walked up to them and asked, "Where have you been?"That was when she saw that Tommy's cheeks were red, with his usual smile gone. In fact, he looked rather upset, and there were red circles around his eyes as if he had been crying for a while.Sharply realizing that something was wrong, she asked, "Is Tommy sick?'Isaac simply ignored her and headed straight inside with Tommy in his arms, but Mrs. Watson walked up to her and whispered, "Tommy had a fever…""Mrs. Watson," Isaac growled.Mrs. Watson quickly stopped and entered the house after him, leaving Irene pursing her lips as
