Irene turned around to find Whitney Cox and Chad Ross, with two bodyguards escorting them.However, Harvey was already in a foul mood, and Whitney's mocking only irked him further. "Mind your own business," he snapped in retort.Whitney's face fell right then. "Watch your mouth!""I could say the same to you," Harvey fired back—he was just feeling very frustrated and had no place to vent, and naturally aimed his crosshairs on Whitney since she was clearly trying to mess with them."What…" Whitney stammered. She had been feeling frustrated after falling for Irene's trap, especially since Chad became utterly disenchanted with her after learning that she had deliberately caused her own miscarriage.Now, he offered her no leeway or freedom, and kept two bodyguards with her wherever she went, essentially keeping her under house arrest as well.He also told her that she would regain her freedom after she got pregnant and delivered the child, and would not allow her to do anything b

Irene quickly ran through what she just said. She did not say anything wrong, did she?"How am I lying, Mom?""Did you have a fight with Isaac?" Sheryl asked sharply.Irene quickly mustered herself and said, "No, we're doing fine, Mom… or maybe you don't want me to be fine?""Of course I do, but I'm worried—""You're being paranoid. Things are perfectly fine between us," Irene said, beating her to it."Really?" Sheryl still sounded a little worried."Yeah. Why would I lie? We are doing very well, so don't worry over nothing."Sheryl thought about it, and decided that she might be paranoid. "Okay," she said, though she sounded a little disappointed just then. "I was hoping to see you both since it's been a while."Irene said, "It's the same if I just bring Tommy along.""No, it's not—you and Isaac are married, and that makes him my son-in-law. That basically makes him my son too."Irene, however, became gloomy as she remembered how things were between her and Isaac, but t

"Lulu was staying with us a while ago, wasn't she? I sensed that Ricky became infatuated with Lulu after that."Sheryl was quite experienced herself, and had seen through Ricky's thoughts for a while now.And after what she said, Irene started to look at Ricky differently, while the boy did not sense the women's looks as he called Lulu.Soon, his call was answered."Lulu? It's me."On the other end, Lulu smiled as she asked, "Hey. Have you reached home already?""Yeah, I had something to ask," Ricky said, but paused for a moment. "Wait, hold that thought."Covering the receiver, he turned toward Irene and asked, "When's Zachary Slate getting married?""In two days," Irene said.With that, Ricky returned to the call, "In two days, please come over first thing in the morning."Lulu said, "I'm busy.""Actually, this is something important and I need your help. Just this once, and I won't bother you anymore. Pretty please?"Lulu was still reluctant. "I'm really busy…"Nonethel

Irene stared at her phone after texting Isaac, expecting a reply.However, she did not receive anything even as the car drove into the front porch.Irene tried to tell herself that he was busy, just to seek some solace. Nonetheless, Isaac was actually busy, and he was in a spacious conference room that could accommodate over a hundred people with dozens of executives. Many of them were foreigners, but they were all fidgeting despite being seated.While Remy had been founded recently, they had many of Light Group's profitable business and projects. Moreover, with Isaac's sharp sense in commerce and the trends of the market, his precise investment and exceptional judgment elevated Remy as a trustworthy investor in no time at all, and was making waves among their circles.In fact, one showbiz company that he invested in scouted up to four internet celebrities. Within two years, they built fanbases for themselves which numbered up to dozens of millions, but the executives of the co

As Isaac made his way towards Irene, her expression stiffened further, and her fingers dug further into her skirt.They were no strangers, but she was so nervous she could not speak.She missed him so much too, but she wanted to run away as he approached."You're going to leave your skirt wrinkled and unseemly if you keep creasing it," Isaac said as he reached her, and reached out to pry her fingers off her skirt.Feeling the coolness of her fingertips, he asked softly, "Are you cold?"Flustered, Irene nodded, and then shook her head.Isaac smiled. "It's not the first time you're meeting me. Why are you so nervous? Anyone who didn't know better would think I'm bullying you."Irene lowered her gaze. "No… I'm just surprised you suddenly came back."Isaac lifted her chin and smiled faintly, "You pretty yourself so much. I wouldn't miss it for the world."He was being so tender, and yet she felt that there was something between them. "Come ib, let's go in." He lifted her hand an

There were too many people in the wedding hall for Irene to track down Ricky. "Mr. Jefferson." Someone approached Isaac Jefferson when he noticed Isaac just then—Isaac did not want to socialize, which was why he had brought Irene to a quiet corner in the wedding hall. "I heard that you left Light Group, so Isaac would suffice now, I believe? Honestly, Light Group is now a real mess, and after rumors swirled that Ian Jefferson owes a mountain of debts, he was not heard from since… but I'm sure you know if it's true, don't you?"Everyone used to revere and feared Isaac in the business, because he was as swift as he was decisive and merciless.However, now that he left Light Group, there were those who believed that he was nothing—just like Mr. Little here who would address him by his first name. Moreover, after Ian made such a serious blunder, the Jeffersons were no longer the dynasty from before and were far from untouchable.Isaac looked up coolly at Mr. Little right then and

Mr. Townsend shot Mr. Little a look. "Isaac may have left Light Group, but he hasn't left commerce. What, are you interested in a partnership with him?"Mr. Little was left wanting to hide himself even as blushed, his cheeks scarlet as if he had too much to drink. "I would love to, but I don't think Mr. Jefferson would need one."Mr. Townsend was naturally experienced enough to tell what was going on. His shrewd eyes darted between Mr. Little and Isaac, and he grinned broadly as he surmised what happened just then. "Well, Isaac is involved in too many megaprojects to pick up small businesses."Then, turning back to Isaac, he asked, "By the way, what is this I heard about you acquiring Silverpond?"Mr. Little was left thunderstruck right then. Silverpond? That bank had been in business for over a century!"You have sharp ears, Mr. Townsend," Isaac said as he clinked glasses with him again."Honestly, the way your empire has expanded…" Mr. Townsend sighed in awe, and flashed a th

Zachary turned around to see Ricky standing nearby, with Lulu beside him.Zachary's face fell as his gaze lingered on Lulu, and Ricky could actually feel her trembling. Reaching out, he held her hand and whispered, "It's alright. I'm with you."Zachary saw that, and he immediately balled into a fist.Irene naturally noticed that Zachary was already holding back, and quickly walked up in front of Lulu to block his line of sight. "Found you. Now, it's time for us to leave—you can go about your business now, Zachary."Zachary did not leave, however, instead strode toward them, stalking past Irene. "I need to talk to Lulu."Lulu held his gaze, and said calmly and impassively, "There's nothing to talk about. You're the groom, so stick to your business. I won't be imposing—in fact, I wouldn't be here if I'd known that it's your wedding today. Ricky tricked me, saying that it's a friend's wedding and insisted that I accompany him., so believe me when I tell you that I'm not here to sab
