Isaac certainly wanted Quincy Moore, but he wasn’t that impulsive."It'd just dirty our hands," he growled after weighing his options. "Let's go."Stan quietly got in his car and left.They took Kathy to the hospital. She wasn’t hurt, but she would still need a checkup and some comforting after what had happened. Since Isaac had always been cold to her, she was actually surprised that he was suddenly so kind and caring.As she sat on her bed, she didn’t forget what Quincy told her—act miserable and tragic to curry sympathy."I can't live like this… Sob…""Such a shame," Isaac said impassively.Kathy looked up. "W-What is?""You have a pretty face, and you could’ve married an upstanding man. I wonder who’d want you now?" Then, deliberately giving her a look of disdain, "Did you really think I’d fall for you after what happened?"Crash!The dream Quincy envisioned for Kathy shattered right there and then.Isaac was right—what man would like an immodest woman? Even if he

Ricky looked up abruptly, his eyes widened in surprise after he scanned through the agreement."What…?""Our father wanted you in charge of Spencer Holdings anyway," Irene told him. "He didn’t give it to you right away because he's worried about your lack of experience. I went to check on things today, and it's obvious you’ve proven yourself. Plus, I'm too busy since I have to take care of Tommy. So, I'm handing the company to you right now. You know I was never interested anyway—my lifelong ambition is to be a doctor."Irene simply wanted Ricky to know that she had no intent on keeping Spencer Holdings for herself, and that she would not meddle once he took over.Still, Ricky was actually suspicious instead of happy that she was giving him Spencer Holdings at this time, and wondered what her intention was.Was it because she knew Isaac had murdered his mother, and the company was given to appease him? "I'm still young, Irene. Dad wanted you to manage it, so you do it," he said,

Taking Irene’s hand in his, Isaac said, "Is there anything you want? I can give it to you."Irene giggled, "Don't worry. I’ll get my one pound of flesh." Then, she steered the conversation away while acting casual, asking, "Where have you been today?""The office, of course." Isaac grinned, since she rarely asked him about his whereabouts. "What, worried about me?""Of course. I was worried you'd have an affair," Irene replied.Isaac chuckled softly in amusement.Irene shot him a glare. "What's so funny?""I just liked it that you asked. That's all," he replied.Irene was left speechless for a moment, and then suddenly remembered something else. "I've put together an agreement to hand Spencer Holdings over to Ricky. He's alone now that Samantha’s gone, and I hope that the company would encourage him to keep himself together—maybe he’d forget his misery if he's busy."She thought it necessary to Isaac.They had now decided to live together, and be involved in each others' l

Isaac stared at Irene from the back. She had smiled at him, but he felt no warmth from it.In fact, it felt icy.What had gotten into her?Suddenly not drowsy at all, he kept his eyes widened, his eyes glimmering in the dark room. On the other hand, Irene was sitting on the toilet although she turned on the shower sprinklers, and her clothes were still on.She had calmed herself on the way home, but for some reason, seeing Isaac left her flustered. She was afraid something really did happen between Kathy and Isaac. If there really was nothing between them, Isaac would’ve never allowed Kathy to be that close to him.Irene took out her phone to see that photo again: the angle was perfect, and it looked just like Kathy was pouting at Isaac as she tugged on his jacket. While Isaac was not facing the camera, anyone would think that they looked just like lovers.Irene felt a pain on her chest, and suffocated a little.She patted herself on the chest. Steam soon swirled all ove

Irene struggled, not eager to go with it. "Mmph… Stop it…! Isaac!"Isaac didn’t let her go, however, and instead kissed her even more fiercely. Unable to resist, Irene turned into jelly in his arms.After a long while, she finally gave up on reisting, he let go.Irene slowly looked up, crystalline tears lingering on her thick, curled eyelashes. "Why are you doing this?" Her voice was hoarse and tearful.Even though she didn’t like to cry, she felt utterly miserable at the moment.Isaac held her gaze. "Does it hurt? Your heart, I mean.""What…?""Couldn't you ask me if you have a question? Did you think I was cheating on you?" Irene was stunned, her gaze watery just then. "H-How'd you know?" Isaac did not answer, and instead asked, "Did you talk to Kathy?"Irene shook her head. "No.""Really?' Isaac was doubtful."You know I'm a doctor, and I have doctor friends," she explained. "I've only checked her medical records.""And you thought it was me?"Irene simply slippe
