Hector's eyes widened. "What are you talking about?"Isaac spoke calmly, as if he was just talking about the weather. "How did the pilots in that plane crash die?"Hector was dumbfounded. Even if he had only murdered the flight captain, he knew that Isaac had what it takes to have him charged for the co-pilot's death too.However, he was not exactly innocent—he was planning to kill both pilots after they killed Isaac anyway, but his plan failed. He killed the captain so that anyone searching for Isaac would presume his death and give up on searching while he searched secretly. He thought he would reach Isaac first and kill Isaac without anyone knowing, while staging his death as if he died from the crash. It was only regrettable that the plan failed!"It's a life for a life," Isaac said flatly, leaving Hector clenching his knuckles and glaring at him so hard he could bore a hole in him!"I'll haunt you forever, Isaac Jefferson!" Hector cursed Isaac. "You'll die horribly!"

Zachary then asked, "Isn't Lulu your friend? Aren't you going to ask after her?"Irene shot him a look. "She's having it better than me, with Martin taking care of her."In fact, Irene felt like things were a mess for her right now.There was no telling how Isaac's treatment was going, and he was not letting her visit. Eyes were so important to humans, after all, which left her with a nagging worry even though the doctors claimed that the condition was treatable. Zachary could not deny what she was saying either.Irene turned toward him and asked, "Finally giving up?"Zachary reclined against his seat, looking nonchalant as he softly muttered, "Yeah.""That just means you have nothing tying you down when you find someone you like," she told him.Zachary chuckled, however, suddenly finding love pointless. Once things changed, it would simply not feel the same way again. Irene watched his despondent reaction in return. "As long as you understand."Zachary said nonchalantl

Irene said, "Learning starts from childhood. Teaching him when he's as old as you are is pointless." Zachary was speechless for a moment. "Who do you think you're talking to, Irene? It's a little disrespectful."Irene shot him a look. "Not even Isaac would interfere with me educating my child."Zachary was speechless again, and he remembered how his own mother had forced him to study when he was a child.If his father had tried to say something, his mother would scold him too!'Mothers all have high hopes for their children, do they not? And could I get upset about it?'He remembered how kind and mild-mannered Irene used to be, too—how did things turn out like this?"You're not adorable at all now, Irene," he said."I don't need you to feel that way," Irene shot back."But Isaac won't like it either," Zachary retorted.Tommy smartly echoed, "That's right! I love Mommy when she's kind, and Daddy wants a domestic goddess."Irene stared at her own son, speechless. "Where did y

After thinking about it for a long while, Tommy eventually said, "I want to learn how to shoot."Irene was speechless while Tommy continued, miming firing a gun. "I saw it on TV. They were like—whoosh!—and hit the bull's eye. That's so cool!"His little round eyes lit up as he spoke.Boys would always be boys!Still, Irene asked, "Don't you think you're too young? Maybe wait another year?"Tommy shook his little head. "I can use something small.""Alright, I'll ask around," Irene said. "Let's see if there's anything children like you can learn." Then, her tone changed as she said, "Alright, let's start today's lesson!""Aren't we going to learn how to shoot?" Tommy asked."I don't know how to do it, so I can't teach you. I'll ask some people later, to see where you can learn," Irene explained patiently, watching him. "You have to learn what I teach even after you learn how to shoot. You'd have less time to play."Tommy's little eyes widened. "I'm just a kid. This is so stres

Stan said, "It's me, Mrs. Jefferson."Irene's eyes lowered slightly and said flatly, "Yeah.""The crisis is over for now," Stan continued. "You can move back to the castle."The mastermind, Hector, had been deported back to Zidonia and would be sentenced to death in no time at all since he was responsible for a handful of deaths."Okay," Irene replied and quickly asked about Isaac. "Did the doctors say when he'll be better?"Stan was silent for a while before answering, "The doctor said soon."Irene did not even need to guess—while Stan paused, he was actually asking Isaac what to say."Stan, is he hiding something from me?" she asked then with a threatening edge in her voice.Stan was speechless.He felt so awkward being caught in the middle!He certainly would not dare to speak out of turn where Isaac was concerned, but that meant he had trouble answering Irene too.If he said something wrong, he would have to suffer Isaac's abuse.He then thought to himself that it would

A woman's voice? Who was it?Irene asked tentatively, "I'm looking for Zachary Slate.""Oh, he's having a shower," the woman on the other end replied.Irene was speechless for a moment. "Okay. Just tell him to call me back when he's done—"The woman cut her short before she could finish. "Actually, I think he'll be busy…"Irene frowned so hard her brows almost knitted together.Did that woman think she was in a relationship with Zachary and was trying to assert dominance?"Look, I'm not his girlfriend—we're just friends, and there's something we need to talk about, that's all," Irene explained. "Tell him to call me back."With that, she hung up and dropped on the couch, feeling bemused. Was that how he was going to get over being dumped? By messing around with women?Her baby pulled her hair just then, and Irene patted him in return, returning her focus to playing with her baby.He had been walking steadily these days, although he had often tripped on his first steps."You

Once Irene opened the door, she found Zachary tiptoeing back to her room.She called out to him, "Where have you been?"Zachary turned around and smiled. "Nowhere.""Did anyone tell you that I called you?" Irene asked him.An unnatural reaction appeared on Zachary's face, and he somehow looked awkward. "You called me?""Yes I did," Irene told him with no uncertainty, "and it was a woman who answered, saying you were taking a shower. I told her to tell you to call me back when you're done. She didn't tell you, did she?"Zachary chuckled. "Nope, she didn't.""Are you serious about her?" Irene asked her.Zachary walked over and sat on the couch. "What do you mean?""The woman who answered my call," Irene said.Zachary appeared nonchalant. "She's just a woman. What's with the seriousness? Just need to satisfy my physical needs."Irene frowned, speechless. "Giving up on yourself, are you?""No, but I'm no saint who's above worldly needs," Zachary said seriously. "Is it really so

Keeping his gaze lowered, Eagle said, "Tommy's still young. Let him try first before deciding if he has the gift for it. We can't tell for sure immediately, but I can see that he's interested."He appeared afraid to meet Irene's eyes, but she smiled as she watched Tommy. "Actually, you can teach him hand-to-hand combat."Not so that he could win fights, but so that he could defend himself when he grew up.After all, she was sure that Isaac would pass his legacy to Tommy.And having seen Isaac almost getting killed over a disagreement in business recently and sith Tommy having to tread the same path like him, she would like Tommy to have the ability to protect himself."I will," Eagle said.Irene smiled and returned inside.She was about to take her baby off Sheryl's hands when her phone rang—it was a call from Lulu.She answered it, and Lulu rasped from the other end, "Irene."Irene frowned, noticing that something was wrong immediately from Lulu's voice. "What's wrong? Were y
