Harvey was left speechless from shock.Irene nodded. "Those are the people backing Mead Clinic.""I know," Harvey groaned. "The Raideen dynasty is a famous dynasty of magnates whose legacy began from the 19th century, and one of their members became the world's first billionaire. They've now built a monopoly over Minerva's oil industry, while branching out to every other industry."Looking up at Irene, he asked, "Why are you showing this to me?""I'm not going back to Zidonia," Irene told him. "There's a lot to learn in Mead Clinic, and I like the working environment here. Actually, I know the man you warned me about—he's Mark Wickers, an entrepreneur in the pharmaceutical industry. He's actually conscientious and an idealist, and he's here because he doesn't want to see Mead Clinic creating a monopoly over the research."Clenching her fingers a little, she said, "I know that this is difficult, but could you come up with a way to claim a share of this project so that it does not b

Irene was frowning. What was Harvey doing here first thing in the morning? She was not sure how to react to him."What are you doing here?""I bought you breakfast—I'm making this a routine everyday from now on." Harvey was not being shy either and quickly squeezed his way in.Irene was wearing white baggy lace pajamas that covered up to her ankles and wrists, and naturally her belly. She stroked her belly a little before walking up to Harvey, staring at him as she said, "If you have the time to bring me breakfast, you should instead head back to talk to Isaac already."Harvey was speechless. Why did she have to mention that killjoy of a man?"I'll be gone after this." Irene sat down at the table then. "Can't you be less childish, Harvey? You're not exactly young.""How am I being childish?" Harvey was actually upset—he was sincere about bringing breakfast.He did read online that women loved men who cared and paid attention to details, so he was doing his best!"You're b

When Harvey was finished, Isaac growled, "Are you done?"Harvey nodded. "More or less—""Get out!" Isaac snarled with a hint of rage.Harvey was speechless—did he have to be so upset? And did he say anything wrong?"Don't think the whole world revolves around you, Isaac! I'll do it if you won't—so stay in your goddamned perch and earn all the money while feeling none of the happiness! Keep all that money to yourself now that she's gone!" With that, he promptly ran out of Isaac's office, denying him the chance to harass him further.After he had to deal with the man so many times, he knew Isaac's temper—he would be eaten alive and spat out if he stayed.And he certainly was no idiot. Why would he stay and wait for Isaac's abuse?…Back in his office, Isaac flung his pen aside and rubbed between his brows.He was feeling frustrated for some reason, and it could well be because of what Harvey said.He told Debbie, "Tell James to see me.""Yes, Mr. Jefferson."Soon, James arr

The man's voice was a little familiar, and Harvey turned around stiffly to see James standing nearby. He was going to leave to do what Isaac told him to, only to find Harvey standing at the entrance and ranting on Isaac. "From where I'm standing, you're the petty one, slandering people behind their backs! Mr. Jefferson may have a poor temper, but he's more of a man than you are! I mean, aren't you a man? If you are, why ramble on like some fishwife? Do you even understand why you always lose out to him in business?" "Why?" Harvey asked in reflex, but he regretted it immediately—he just admitted to being less than Isaac!And before he could argue, James said, "That's because you're despicable, ignorant, pig-headed, and foolish."Harvey was left heaving from frustration, but unable to find a good retort, he simply yelled, "Eat shit, James Cross.""I could say the same to you," James said with a snort. "No one should ever waste their time with you."With that, he strode off, leavi

Irene did a double take, feeling a little panicked just then.She kept her email address anonymous, but James could email her back already?She then remembered that James was always helping Isaac investigate various matters, including his rivals. Something like an anonymous email was probably too easy for him.But she could not afford to have James find out about her real identity. What should she do?[Who are you? How did you know that I am looking into the Raideens?!]James clearly sounded wary, and he probably would not easily believe the data Irene sent him.Still, she remembered Harvey amid her panic, and replied: [Harvey Gooding.]If she stayed silent, she would be dead if James tracked her IP address. On the other end, James actually paused in thought, surprised to find out that it was Harvey.Remembering that Harvey met with Isaac earlier, Irene added: [Look, I met your boss today because I wanted to talk to him about the link between the Raideens and Mead Clinic.]W

Isaac's headaches had worsened due to prolonged insomnia and overdosing on sleeping pills.James rushed him to the hospital the instant they disembarked. After examination, the doctor told James that Isaac's condition was due to overdosing on sleeping pills, and there might be more side effects if he continued taking it.The doctor then administered a sedative to help him sleep, while James left and called Stan on the walkway. "He's admitted now, and the doctor told him to stop taking sleeping pills and try to sleep naturally instead. But we know his temper…"James was alone in Minerva with Isaac. Having no ideas, he had to call Stan to discuss.While he stood by the window, Irene arrived. She was wearing a lab coat, a cap, and a face mask, and spoke in fluent Minerverse, "I'll be checking on the patient now."James quickly told Stan, "Got to go. I'll call you again later."Walking over and noticing that she was a woman, he asked, "Wasn't he checked already?""I'll be observ

James quickly explained, "This is Dr. Jane Tanner. She's a doctor here."Even so, Isaac was staring at Irene with sharp eyes that could well pierce her face mask to see underneath…She was a doctor. So, why did she flinch?And what was that disguise for?A face mask and a scarf?Nonetheless, Irene feigned composure while thickening her Minerverse accent to further disguise that she was no Zidonian. "I'm Dr. Jane Tanner—you can call me anything you want, but the issue here is your insomnia. It is already affecting your overall health, so you must cooperate with treatment."Isaac, however, pushed off his blanket and started toward her, his presence more menacing the closer he got. Irene's hands clenched her side as she braced herself. "Please, you have to lie down… Oof!"Before she could finish, Isaac had pulled off her face mask.She quickly clasped her hands over her cheeks while panic showed in her eyes, but Isaac was already left stunned.All he could think about was how

The sight of the cocksure woman before them left James furrowing his brow.There was no escaping her!"Stalker," he growled impatiently. "Lapdog," Erin Gooding shot back right away.James was left speechless—he remembered that she had been raised here in Minerva, but she would actually know the Zidonian word for 'lapdog'?She was surprisingly fluent…Nonetheless, Erin seemed to have read James's mind and she said, "I may be raised here, but my mom and dad are Zidonian. Is it that weird that I know the language?"She was watching Isaac's face as she mentioned 'mom', but there was only impatience in his cold visage.Erin's lips twitched. "Hey, I'm your half-sister. Why the long face? Does someone owe you money? I know you don't want me around, and I don't mind not showing up… All you have to do is tell me where our mother is buried—"Isaac strode off before she could finish, and James stopped her when she tried to follow. "You're a lady. You can afford to act a little more rese
