Irene smiled.After that, Zachary told her to get some proper rest before leaving with Lulu.However, Irene felt that she was no longer sleepy, though when she left to find Harvey, he had already arrived at Spencer Mansion.He was smiling and appeared spirited.Irene remained impassive, and asked curtly, "When can I see my child?""Like I said, after our wedding. Now, which card do you prefer?"He had brought several wedding cards, each having different styles so that she could pick one she liked. Irene found the man's behavior bizarre just then—she insisted that she did not love him, and had only promised to marry him to save her child. Was he crazy? Picking an invite at a time like this?"Just do whatever you like. You don't have to ask me about anything," she said, planting herself on the couch."Fine, that'll do," Harvey replied. "Once the invitations are prepared, I'll send the very first one to Isaac Jefferson." Irene was not in the mood to play around, and simply n

Isaac finally looked up from his work when he heard Irene's name.Harvey naturally became smug at that, and opened the envelope to Isaac so that he could see the photo enclosed inside and their name. "See?"Isaac remained calm and unaffected. "I dumped her. Take her with you all you want."However, Harvey knew by now that he was too good at pretending, and did not even mind his dissing. "Of course—you dumped her, and that's on you. I don't mind that she's been with other men, and she'll be mine from now on. For that, I have to thank you for letting go, but don't worry, I'll give her some proper loving.""Get out!" Isaac snapped, scrawling a signature on the bottom of a document and throwing it aside.Harvey was grinning ear to ear at his response, as if challenging Isaac to hit him. "It's this Saturday, Mr. Jefferson! Don't forget!"Isaac's lips curled up savagely as Harvey put down the invitation. "See you there."With that, he whistled a tune cheerfully and smugly left Isaac's

Even if Kathy appeared to be special to Isaac, Stan could not help frowning each time he heard her referring to him by his first name.Did she think she could lord over everyone already, saying Isaac's name like that at the office?For some reason, he could not bring himself to like her."He's always like that," he flatly replied, and strode away.Kathy, however, gave chase, "Don't go, Mr. Hill. Do you think he'd still be upset if I went in now?""You can try." Stan smiled—he knew that Isaac was still furious, and anyone who went in would be bringing trouble on themselves. Still, Kathy was not that stupid. "I think I'll wait… I'd just be getting into trouble if I went in now."Stan snorted. "Smart.""I just don't want Isaac to be angry." She strode off.…Isaac, however, was in a bad mood for the entire day since Harvey showed up! He could not focus at work, even making mistakes until he finally decided he was too distracted to work, and left early, canceling all appointme

"Isaac Jefferson?" Ricky became indignant. "Isn't he your husband, Irene? He even sent his assistant to help you, but he's suddenly harassing you?""That are you talking about, Ricky?" The supervisor appeared surprised. "He's not married, let alone to your sister…"After all, Irene and Isaac's marriage was not publicly known, and not many people knew about it. Less important people like the logistics supervisor here were certainly not privy.Irene smiled. "Ricky just got a little drunk. Don't listen to him."With that, she started dragging Ricky to her office while telling the supervisor to leave work for now. "We will come up with something tomorrow.""Oh, okay." The supervisor thought nothing of it, presuming that Ricky was really drunk."Irene." Ricky frowned. "Why are you dragging me? And you did marry Isaac—""Ricky." Irene cut him short. "We're divorced, so don't ever mention that to anyone.""When?" Ricky gaped. "Is he abandoning his son too?""He doesn't know that Tomm

Irene had made up her mind. "It won't take that long. Livestream promotions are all the rage these days, and that's why we're going the route of viral marketing.""Alright, I'll make the call," Ricky replied."Good." Irene hung up but did not leave immediately. Instead, she asked several trustworthy employees to move the returned goods out of the warehouses. Since Isaac wanted to bully her, he had the money and influence to make it an issue as well if he were to find out that she was using viral marketing for retail. That was why she must do things quietly. It was daybreak when everything was done, but just as she returned to Spencer Mansion to rest, Harvey's makeup artist had arrived. She pressed Irene on a chair, and started to do her bridal makeup.Her eyelids weighed a ton—she could fall asleep right then.Ricky poured her a coffee and pulled out a chair to sit beside her. "Irene…""Don't ask. You have more important things to do," she said as she turned toward him. "Y

Isaac's expression turned icy, and the air around him seemed to cool as well."Irene Spencer! Did you really think Harvey Gooding loves you? Don't forget that you were married to me, and consummated—""Isaac Jefferson!" Irene snapped, cutting him short."What, can't take it already?" Isaac mocked, holding out a hand to her. "You can still walk away with me now."Irene was laughing despite her indignation. "You were the one who demanded a divorce, and it has been finalized. Also, aren't you with Kathy York? Are you sure she won't get jealous that you're here? Oh, and I also heard that you gave her your most prized possession—I guess you really love her, congratulations!""I'm just returning that thing to its owner," Isaac replied without thinking.Irene raised her brow. "So it's hers. I guess you two really go a long way back."Isaac pursed his lips but could not deny it, since she was the one who saved him as a child, or he would not have rehired her—even if his grandfather had

"But we're having a real wedding here. What's fake about it? We'll get our marriage certificate after as well." Harvey had never considered that any of this fake—he wanted Irene, and upsetting Isaac was just a bonus.Still, he would not push Irene too far. "It's a simple wedding anyway, and would be over before you know it. I don't mind going along with any requests either…"Irene gave him a look but said nothing."We're late. Shall we?" Harvey asked."Okay," Irene said simply. The wedding was neither lively nor joyous—only Harvey himself was pleased about it.There was nothing to dilly-dally about at this stage. Still, she could see her child soon when the wedding was over.As she stepped out of the door, Sheryl Harris came downstairs.She did not want to see her own daughter marry someone she did not love, but could not help coming downstairs when she saw her leaving in a wedding dress."Irene…."Irene turned and smiled at her. "I'm getting married, Mom. Please be happy

Although Harvey looked masculine as he shielded Irene, he had always led an easy life and had never been in a fight. The men from the Hummers, however, were all as burly as they were strong, easily dragging him out of their way!While grabbing Irene would have been an easy task after that, Irene had grabbed on to the car door and refused to get out. "Who are you people?!""Don't ask. Just come quietly, and we won't hurt you—resist, and we will have to resort to violence." The men's faces were stiff and impassive.Naturally, Irene refused to let go since she had no idea where they came from, or who she had offended enough to send them!"What do you think you are doing?!" Harvey was losing his temper—one of the men had restrained him, but none of the others were being violent, and it was clear that they were only after Irene."Don't bother," the man restraining him then told his friends, "take him away and be quick. Don't leave any traces either."With that, Irene was dragged away

Ricky believed that Irene was very smart, and that her actions were governed by rules and reason. Could this whole thing be her ploy? To stage her own abduction after leaving Spencer Mansion, so that she did not draw suspicion on either Ricky or Sheryl?Did she only pretend to agree to marry Harvey? The more he thought about it, the more Ricky thought it was likely!…On the other hand, Harvey was racking his brains in his car after he left Spencer Mansion. Who would want to abduct Irene? However, just as he was at wit's end, Isaac's name came to mind."It must be him!" Harvey exclaimed, gaping and smacking himself on his lap. Why did he only remember that now? After all, that man certainly had the power to prevent him from finding out anything. In fact, who else could?Having come to a conclusion, he drove off to Light Group's office building to recover his bride, arriving in just half an hour.He stormed inside furiously, pushing away the front desk receptionists who

Isaac looked up at Stan just then, but did not deny it!As Stan came to a realization, he carefully suggested, "Sir, you shouldn't have rehired Kathy York in that case. Women are petty, and Ms. Spencer must have been upset to see her around. That's not going to work in a relationship."Isaac snorted. "A relationship? After she pushed me away to another woman?" Stan was stumped, but it was true—if Irene really was in love with Isaac, she would not be able to bear her man getting cozy with other women. People get territorial in relationships, after all. No one would be willing to share their partner if there is love involved!"Well, if she's not interested, you can just let her marry Harvey Gooding. Nothing good comes out of coercion, and you're not going to keep her confined for life, are you?"Isaac's visage turned cold. "I will not let her be with another man even if she's not interested."Stan was speechless. Did he just basically say 'if I can't have her, no one can?'Ho
