Eagle was not startled by Irene suddenly regaining consciousness. Instead, he quietly said, "It's good to have you back, ma'am."Irene's eyes focused on him just then. "What happened to me?""You were unconscious," Eagle told her.Irene scanned around the room as she slowly remembered what happened and started to sit up. Seeing that she was still frail, Eagle reached out to help her, but she waved him off. "It's alright."She could sit up on her own.Eagle paused and withdrew his hands, clasping them over his back as he usually did.Looking at him just then, Irene murmured, "Eagle…""Yes, ma'am. Just say the word, and I'll get it done," Eagle replied respectfully."There's something I need you to do," Irene said. "But I have another request before that.""I'm listening, ma'am.""Can you come with me to Franconia?" Irene asked. Since Isaac was the one who hired Eagle, they must have signed an agreement beforehand.However, she did not know if Eagle could escort her to Fra

As Irene strode into the elevator, James followed her like he usually did with Isaac."Mrs. Jefferson." Some of the employees in the building greeted Irene when she passed them.Irene would respond with a small nod and a faint smile.Then, arriving outside Isaac's office, she said a little too loudly, "James, inform everyone that we will be having a meeting soon."And with that, she headed inside Isaac's office right away. Having heard that, some of the employees slid up to James, asking, "Mr. Cross? Is Mrs. Jefferson really calling for a meeting? What's going on here?""Mr. Jefferson mentioned before that she would start learning management of the company," he replied. "She'll probably announce that at the meeting and properly introduce herself.""Really?" someone exclaimed softly. "But isn't she the director of Hotmesh Research? I just saw the video of her being interviewed days ago. It had a lot of views.""She resigned," James said."I see!" Someone else came up, butting

James brought Irene a chair as well, and after she sat down, she said with an even tone, "There's no cause to worry, everyone, and you can be candid too. I'm not here to take a job, and I actually don't know a thing about managing this company, so I'm just here to learn. There would probably be plenty of things which I'd need everyone's instructions and guidance for."It was just the right tone of voice to indicate the purpose of the meeting."You're giving us too much credit, ma'am."Everyone was already aware of that since James had already told them, and no one was about to provoke her when she was their boss's wife. In fact, they were perfectly respectful since she was not throwing her weight around, and she spoke with such earnestness that there was nothing much to nitpick.Smiling, Irene continued, "Isaac has told me that you're all the backbone of the company, and that I'll definitely learn something from everyone here. But I resigned to take care of my family, so I'll onl

James glanced at Irene through the rearview mirror, but he was assuredly surprised by her composure and poise at the meeting just now. "Very good," he replied. Irene's smile faded at that and she rubbed her cheeks firmly.She had been smiling constantly while she had been upstairs, because she had to fake it.With Isaac's whereabouts unknown, she has to muster her spirit. Returning to the hilltop mansion, she saw that Eagle had just returned with Mrs. Watson as well.After alighting, Mrs. Watson quickly went up to her, saying, "Mrs. Jefferson, I'll go with you."Irene said, "But your health…""I'm fine." Mrs. Watson patted her chest. "See? I'm fine."Irene nodded. "I'll arrange for a doctor for you over there.""No, I'm really fine," Mrs. Watson insisted. "I would've discharged myself if you hadn't told me to stay at the hospital. I was almost bored to death there! Oh, can I see Tommy now? I've missed him since it's been a few days."With that, Mrs. Watson jogged into the

After both men arrived, Eagle was standing behind James, but he kept his eyes lowered without looking at Irene.He had no idea what happened that Irene would suddenly move her entire family over to Franconia, but he was sharp enough to tell that it was something serious. It would not explain her urgency otherwise.Looking at Irene just then, James murmured, "Mrs. Jefferson…"Irene said bluntly, "You're coming with me. We're going to find him.""I can do it alone," James replied. "Your family—""Eagle can take care of them," Irene said, turning toward Eagle just then. "I'd like you to protect my children."Eagle stepped forward and said, "Yes, I'll do my best."Irene had planned that from the beginning, which was why she asked if Eagle could come along. She had faith in Eagle's abilities.James wanted to talk her out of it, but Irene spoke before he could. "Do you think I can rest easy if you don't let me go?"Seeing that her mind was set, James decided to stop talking her ou

Eagle's gaze became evasive right then, but he soon composed himself. "Your mother asked me to bring it to you."As Irene took it, she asked, "Why are you getting nervous? I wasn't doubting you.""I'm not nervous, ma'am," Eagle replied. Irene, however, was clearly skeptical—he was clearly being antsy just now. "Are you not used to this place yet?" she asked."...A little," Eagle admitted."You'll get used to it eventually," Irene told him. "Just call me if something comes up.""Yes, ma'am," Eagle replied, while Irene returned to the dining table.This time, Sheryl did not force her to eat again and instead poured her a glass of water. She took a sip when Pierre approached her, saying, "There's someone here to see you, Mrs. Jefferson."Irene thought it would be James, so she headed to the front door… only to find that it was Zachary Slate."What are you doing here?" she asked in curiosity. "James told me about what happened to Isaac," he replied, his expression grim. "I

"Where?!" Irene asked urgently."It's quite a distance," James said. "We have to foot it.""Alright, let's go," Irene said urgently. "Take me there."It was fine if it was far. She wanted to see if it was Isaac right away! With the Dunesians leading the way, they strode through the pathless mountain and climbed up the mountain. Along the way, Irene missed a large rock beneath her foot and slipped, bending her foot in an odd angle.As she gasped in pain, Zachary asked from behind her, "Are you alright?'"I'm fine," Irene said, shaking her head—she would not delay the others. However, her ankles hurt, and she thought it might be a sprain.The skies overhead were turning dark, but they trudged along with their flashlights.The trek remained difficult as ever, and they would spot debris from the wreckage from time to time.Irene tried her best not to look, so as to calm herself. Soon, it was night, and their environment was much quieter and colder.Even so, they were all s

When Irene heard James say 'Stan', she rushed up to him, grabbing his arm. "Who was that?"James gulped, putting an assuring hand on Irene's to calm her and get her to stay quiet before asking, "Stan? Is that really you?"He almost could not believe his ears."Yeah, it's me," Stan replied from the other end.James inhaled sharply. "Where are you right now?!""Franconia…""Hold on," James was stumped for a moment. "You're in Franconia?""Yeah," Stan answered confidently, before adding urgently, "This is urgent. Where are you right now? I'll come to you.""Where do you think?!" James actually snapped. "The plane you boarded with Mr. Jefferson crashed in Dunesia, so we're here searching the place!""Then hurry back right now," Stan urged.It only left James more confused. "What the hell is going on here?!""It's complicated. We'll talk when we meet," Stan told him. "Just come back. Mr. Jefferson isn't there.""Well, where is he?!" James asked. "Just come back for now—"Stan
