Chapter 429

Moreover, Isaac had definitely spent most of his recent time abroad, and Ian did hear rumors that his relationship with Irene was strained—though there was just no solid evidence to prove it.

But the rumors turned out to be true?

"I don't believe you," Ian growled—he was not about to buy it that easily.

That was when Isaac hung up on him.

It actually left Ian wondering just then… that reaction certainly points to a rift between Isaac and Irene.

But could it just be Isaac trying to deceive him?

Ian was actually stumped.

Turning towards Irene, he asked, "You two got in a fight?"

For her part, Irene knew that Isaac was hung up over Yvaine's death and even understood it.

Even so, her heart broke to hear him suggest that he would never love his mother's murderer.

It was pure anguish.

Nonetheless, she worked hard to control her emotions. "You know already, don't you? Why do you even ask?"

Ian was watching her, and knew that the way she was withholding her pain was no pretense.
