Isaac asked, "Why her?""She's stupid and easy to manipulate," Stan replied. "She's not chaste anyway, and it spares us from having to choose a new person."Isaac stared at him but stayed silent—Stan took it for a silent approval.In reality, Stan only did that because he had come to understand that Isaac did not care about Kathy at all.From his point of view, there were just two reasons why Isaac had not kicked Kathy to the curb—the first was that she had saved Isaac's life before, and he could not be too harsh on her despite his indifference.The second was that she was still useful to them. Still, that made Stan think—why the difference in treatment between Kathy and Irene? Both of them had saved Isaac's life, and yet one one was treated like a tool, while the other was being pampered to kingdom come. Seeing that certainly left Stan clicking his tongue.Truly, it hurt to see the contrast!"How are things going on over there?" Isaac asked just then, seemingly not interest
Irene smiled. "My baby can say 'mommy' now."'Isaac shot her a look, and instructed their son indignantly. "Say 'daddy.""Mama…""Da…Da.""Mah… Mah…"Isaac looked like he would keep going, and Irene could not bear to look—Tommy was just mouthing some syllables that sounded like 'mommy' and not actually saying it. How would he ever say 'daddy'?Taking Tommy off Isaac's arms, she said, "Time for your milk, baby."With that, she went looking for Mrs. Watson, leaving Isaac alone and speechless.However, the more she was trying to cold-shoulder him, the more he wanted to stay with her.Following her downstairs, he said, "I'll carry Tommy. You can get the milk."Irene quickly said, "Mrs. Watson can do it."Isaac was once again speechless. Did he offend her somehow?Mrs. Watson hid a smile as she watched them, and took Tommy off Irene's arms. "I can feed Tommy. He's going to sleep soon anyway."Irene sighed, and returned inside their room, while Isaac followed and closed the do
Irene was left speechless for quite a while before finally saying viciously, "I'll break your legs."Isaac brushed his cheek against hers, chuckling. "Could you bear to hurt me so?"Irene went further. "That's not all. If you really cheat on me, I'll break your legs, and then use your money to become the sugar mommy for some young 'uns…"This time, it was Isaac who was left speechless."That's going too far."Using his own money while cucking him?!Irene reared her chin at him. "Yeah. So go on, cheat on me, and I'll make you the greatest cuck ever—""But none of them is as good looking as I am," he growled, pinning her underneath himself on the bed. Irene tried to get away from his kisses since it tickled, shoving him. "The sun is still up—""Yep," Isaac answered distractedly, but was not inclined to get off her, even undressing her right then.Irene panicked and gave in right then, "Fine, my bad. I won't hook up with other men. You're the only one for me…"Isaac leaned in
They were married, and it was reasonable that they gave each other their blessings, instead of having one of them make sacrifices.Irene then mischievously fiddled with his collar.Isaac was speechless for a moment before he caught her hand. "I thought you're reluctant since the sun is still up."Irene rolled her eyes. "What do you think I'm doing? I'm checking your injuries."He had such a dirty mind! However, he could not restrain himself since she took the lead and took off his shirt—he was an ordinary healthy man and certainly not impotent.…Meanwhile, Greg was boozing at an exclusive nightclub. It had been days since he saw Quincy, since she was busy with work at Light Group with their son Ian, and had no time to care about anything else.Feeling neglected, he came here to drink his sorrows away.His eyes seemed to glaze over after a few glasses of whiskey, and he smacked several hundred dollar notes on the bar before wobbling up to his feet. However, someone came r
As Kathy helped Greg out of the taxi, it was clear that the man was really drunk.Unlike before, the alcohol he had tonight seemed especially strong… even stimulating.Kathy had no money, so he had to pay for their room.Once inside, she made a show of helping him to bed, and said, "You should rest, sir—"Grey suddenly caught her wrists.Feigning surprise at first, Kathy resisted just a little before yielding to his advances, and what happened soon after was simply water under the bridge.…After the deed was done, Kathy was clutching at the sheets as she sat by the headboard, her eyes welling with miserable tears.Greg was left staring at the blood staining the sheets in silence for a long while, before breathing a lengthy sigh. "I didn't know that you were chaste… but I'll definitely take responsibility for what I did."Kathy appeared afraid, and was averting her eyes.However, the reason she bled was because Stan had her undergo a hymenorrhaphy at a hospital. He told her
The thought of Quincy left Greg grimacing. "Oh, my wife is old now. It actually irks me whenever I see her face these days."Kathy raised her brows, feeling cathartic inside just then!Even if Quincy had done her best to maintain her beauty, the way Greg called her 'old' made it clear that her place in their family was just for show."Oh, you're such a bad man, sir. How could you talk about your own wife like that?" she purred as she threw herself into his arms. "But do you think I'm prettier?""Of course," Greg answered with no hesitation. In reality, Quincy was far prettier than Kathy in her youth, but age simply had not been kind to her.If she were not that beautiful, Greg would not have been a loyal husband, let alone have zero scandalous affairs."Anyway, it's late—I should go," Greg said just then.While he was certainly reluctant to leave her, Greg nonetheless feared Quincy, and was worried that she would throw a fit if she found out. As such, he left his name card w
However, just as Quincy was about to speak, Greg snatched his phone away. "Hey, it's my phone! What do you think you're doing?"Quincy froze for seconds and narrowed her eyes.Greg was clearly feeling guilty, but he had no choice but to do it—what if it was Kathy calling? He would be exposed! "Give it to me right now." Quincy held out a hand, looking dead serious just then.When Greg refused, she demanded, "Are you cheating on me, Greg?""No way! Why would I do that? You're being paranoid—"Quincy snatched his phone out of his hands before he could finish, and answered the call. "Hello?""Oh! Hey, Quincy! Is my brother from another mother over there?"Quincy recognized the voice—it was one of Greg's close friends, and she was acquainted with the man as well.Greg was relieved since he heard the voice too. Feeling confident right then, he snorted at Quincy. "Why would you suspect me? Come on, you're embarrassing me in front of my friend here—what if he told the others you'
"That is for sure," Quincy said as she poured James a cup of tea. "I'm sure you also know Light Group's influence in the country too.""Of course," James replied. "I wouldn't have agreed to this meeting otherwise. In fact, I don't mind telling you that there's so many interested investors I couldn't afford to meet them all, so I've picked the ones I see most potential in.""Apologies if we seemed prudent too, since we're not learned in this industry," Quincy said as she scrounged through the document James brought them.The concept, development process, and other details about the mechanical component were summarized meticulously, and it appeared professionally done to Quincy and Ian even if they did not really understand it.Ian then leaned in to whisper to Quincy, "Shouldn't we get expert opinion on this, Mom? We don't know anything about this…"Quincy was hesitant too. While the project shows potential, her ignorance on the matter made her worried about messing up, since rese
