Tim Goldman shrugged innocently. "I wasn't even investigating you. Someone sent this to me."His expression looked so genuine anyone would fall for his ploy, but Peter was not stupid enough to believe him so easily.However, he had no idea how something he kept hidden so well in the distant past could be exposed. It was literally buried six feet under—everyone who knew about it was dead!"H-How did you get this?!" Peter growled, finally understanding that Tim was not stopping at simple blackmailing.However, Tim kept feigning innocence. "I honestly don't know who sent this."Peter slammed a hand on this desk furiously. "What do you want?! Just tell me already! I've already given you the project we competed for while you were busy sorting out your messy divorce, and paid 150 million dollars for your silence! Why do you keep doing this to me?!" "Doing this to you? Me?" Tim blinked, and quickly waved him off. "I'm not, and don't blame me when you have no proof, or I would have to

Tim said, "I agree, and I will help you when the time comes. However, I want his office building when we split the spoils."It was certainly a nice place—one would not blame Peter for resorting to murder for that plot of land."Of course." Zachary agreed to it right away, since he needed Tim's help.Naturally, he had done his homework on Tim before seeking his partnership—the man certainly had the resources to reopen an old case and renew the investigation, first by inciting online sentiment to pressure the authorities."All the best to our joint venture," Tim said, raising a glass in salute. "Let's toast with coffee for now."They had already squeezed Peter dry for money, after all.As Zachary clinked glasses with Tim, Tim's secretary entered. "The ambulance has arrived.""Let them do their work," Tim said. …Meanwhile, Irene had arrived at her new residence—a mansion up on the hill, near a body of water. There was only a road up to the hill, and it was hidden within thick

The chauffeur entered. Everyone appeared to be disappointed, perhaps believing that Isaac had arrived.The chauffeur did a double take in turn, and was left wondering if his timing was poor and led to their disappointment. He stood there, suddenly unsure if he should step inside or leave."Is there a problem?" Irene asked.The chauffeur hurried to her and handed her a cellphone. "This was left in the car."Irene took it and saw that it was her own phone.The chauffeur then added, "If there's anything else you need, ma'am, I'll be right outside.""Yeah," Irene replied—everyone there were people Isaac trusted. On the other hand, Sheryl was not continuing her rant about Isaac from before after being interrupted. In the end, she was just feeling upset over her daughter and her grandson's situation. All she could do right then was to care for them as best as she could, not to mention that Irene would be feeling the worst out of all of them.Even if she appeared calm, Sheryl c

Irene looked up at Stephen after reading through the research results, her eyes twinkling in delight. "So it's actually curable?"Stephen nodded.Irene had been a researcher in Mead Clinic, and could naturally understand the complex data and find a breakthrough. The most common infectious disease that dogs transmitted was rabies, but it would take the mixing of blood.On the other hand, the virus that this dog carried could pass through its fur alone, but it was not particularly potent—only Tommy, a child with low immunity, would get infected after being in contact with the dog. The rash was a symptom, and things would get worse if not treated soon. Naturally, Tommy's brain might be affected if his fever continued. Irene stayed silent in thought and kept studying the data that the team found. "I need a lab.""Of course," Stephen replied. "They will see to any needs you have, and the labs are readily available. Just use it anytime you want—they will bring you any equipment t

It sounded like Debbie. Irene's expression changed for a split second, but she soon regained her calm. Of course she would be asking for a meeting now to brag."Where?" Irene asked, agreeing to it right then—she should be the audience if Debbie wanted to brag, should she not?"Two Beaches Coffee." "Got it," Irene said and hung up. Stephen looked up at her, swallowed his food and told her, "Just do what you have to. We'll hold down the fort here."Irene nodded and cleaned up the table after finishing her lunch. "Thanks for your help, everyone.""Oh, it's fine," everyone answered in unison. Over the last few days, Mark's research team had heard about how Irene stole Mead Clinic's research data and hence grew to respect her. They grew to think that she was a woman who saw the big picture, and they were willing to help.Irene was grateful. Though she said nothing, she was ready to reward them generously once the antidote was made.Though they were being kind to her, she sho

Naturally, Debbie did not bring Irene to the cafe just to brag. She wanted Irene to give up on Isaac completely. If she could not claim Isaac's heart, her only option was to make Irene betray him, so that she would have an opening—a chance to win over Isaac. In fact, once she captured him, she had already hatched the plan to use Ricky as hostage and coerce Irene."It's not as if I can't consider freeing him.""What do you want?" Irene, however, knew that she would not do so easily—Debbie would demand something from her."I know that Isaac agreed to marry me mostly to save your son," Debbie said. "But even if he doesn't love me, his heart would definitely break if you love another man, and that gives me an opportunity. So, get yourself another man and tell Isaac that you don't love him anymore, and I'll consider letting Ricky go."Irene was laughing inwardly. "You've really covered all the bases, haven't you?""I have no choice." Debbie smirked.She certainly had to be thoro

Isaac could tell that Irene was venting her frustrations at him.However, he could not tell her that Ricky had been captured by Debbie so that she would not have to worry. And yet, Debbie herself had sought out Irene to tell her just that, while also demanding that she get a lover.How was he supposed to abide with that?"I'll find Ricky as soon as I can."Irene restrained her temper just then—things were hard for Isaac right now as well. "Debbie knows your methods after working for you over the years. She won't let you find Ricky so easily—not after she's burned all bridges. Be prepared and wary, because I'm worried that she'd have other cards aside from Ricky and Tommy. Try to get her to talk the next time she's with you."Looking up and into his eyes just then, Irene murmured, "I just hope that this will be over soon.""Yeah," Isaac replied. "I know."He had sent his people out to look, after all."I have to go now," Irene said, not wanting further trouble. Isaac caugh

Peter's pupils dilated as he read the news post. "What… How?!"But that was not all—the families of the deceased had now come forward, demanding justice for the dead. The old workers who used to be employed at the factory were also testifying that the factory had no fire safety measures as well, even stating the model numbers of the factory equipment used—all of which were prohibited for violating safety regulations.And it was only gaining further traction now."It seems that Tim Goldman doesn't just want money… He wants me dead too!" Peter growled, his gaze darkening as his hands clenched into fists. There was no way he would take this lying down.He whipped out his phone to make calls to the press, intent on paying them to take down the news posts.What he did not know, however, was that Zachary Slate was working with Tim, and they were offering the press double—even triple—of what Peter would pay them. As such, there was simply nothing Peter could do to enforce a press gag
