Isaac did not sleep in her room—everything was neat and tidy, with nothing touched at all.Irene entered, took a shower, and put on fresh clothes before leaving. When she reached the hospital, however, she realized that Dr. King had swapped her out for someone else at her post.There was no place for her now, and she turned and left in despair.Stepping out of the hospital, she stood still for a moment, knowing now that she had no choice.-In the evening, she arrived outside Blue Bridge and stood there for a while.Nonetheless, just as she was about to enter, she saw Whitney.She was confused about why Whitney was also there.However, Irene soon remembered Whitney's connection with Isaac and decided that it should not come as a surprise. She headed inside, quietly following Whitney, and watched as she entered a private room.However, it was not Isaac inside, but instead, a rich kid named Chad Ross who used to woo Whitney when they were in university.Chad came from money b
Hanging up, Isaac flung his phone on the table, and it landed with a loud thud, startling Irene.She stood aside quietly, afraid to make a sound. No ordinary person would be able to bear seeing their love interest getting it on with an ex—certainly not someone as conceited as Isaac! "Excuse me…" she whispered tentatively.However, Isaac was seeing red, and he naturally could not stand Irene.Unable to calm down, he paced around as he gritted his teeth. His eyes were gleaming with irrepressible rage, and he knew very well that he was upset because he had seen the unsavory side of the woman he wanted!It shattered all the dreams he had of that night! Still, feeling as if everything he had seen or heard would keep replaying in his mind, he strode out of the room.Irene followed him by instinct. "Mr. Jefferson…"Still fuming, Isaac snapped, "Get away from me!"Irene stopped in her tracks. Even if Isaac sincerely wanted to give her a chance, he was not in the mood to talk after
In Harvey's mind, Irene was basically a gift from Isaac anyway.At the same time, Irene's heart turned cold. So it really was Isaac!"I have a private room here where we can enjoy ourselves properly." Harvey smiled at her. "Honestly, it's weird—why wouldn't Isaac want a ravishing beauty like you? Does he really not like women?"Isaac never had a girlfriend, and everyone knew that he surrounded himself with men.Many called him impotent, while others called him homosexual—either way, he could not be normal!Irene laughed coldly. ‘Isaac, not liking women? No, he just does not like me!’ she thought inwardly.‘Just look at how upset he was because he saw Whitney messing around with Chad—that simply means he cares, doesn’t he?’"Still, I should thank him properly," Harvey chuckled as he continued. "There's no way I would make your acquaintance if not for him!"Even if he was hurt that other day, the way Irene held a scalpel at him and threatened him was a memorable moment.Wome
In the living room, Samantha White was sitting on the couch, wearing silk pajamas that accentuated her devilish figure. She raised a pretty brow when she saw the other woman entering. "Oh, if it isn't Irene!"Irene clenched her fists and was surprised that Samantha had moved in while her mother was sick.She then glanced at Samantha's wrist and noticed the bangle that looked like it cost an arm and a leg. It seemed that things had taken a turn at the Spencer household after they received the Jeffersons' dowry.Despite feeling embittered, she said, "I'm here to talk to Lionel."Samantha brushed her thick, maroon curls and replied, "He's not here."Irene quickly turned to leave, but Samantha called out to her. "Stop—did you come to ask for money? Why would you need money when you're Mrs. Jefferson now? I'm telling you, we don't have any money for you. I'm sure you know how much your mother's surgery costs."Irene pursed her lips. Samantha was merely a mistress, but she acted as i
Stan ran into Isaac just as he was about to leave, and quickly greeted him. "Mr. Jefferson."Giving him a look and growling rather hostile, Isaac asked, "Have you found out anything?"Stan complained in his head that he was not Superman, not to mention that Isaac himself had given him a ton of work earlier today."N-No, I was just about to do it," he said gingerly and wondered what had happened that could get Isaac so upset.Isaac's secretary approached them, saying, "Mr. Jefferson? There's a Ms. Cox at the front desk, asking for you.""Ms. Cox? Could it be—"Before Stan could finish, he immediately saw Isaac glowering and kept silent tactfully.Even as the air around them cooled, Isaac flatly said, "Bring her upstairs, Stan.""Yes, Mr. Jefferson."-Soon, Stan arrived at the CEO's office with Whitney Cox.Isaac was standing beside his desk, having taken off his jacket and carelessly thrown it over his chair, and he slowly turned toward her.Whitney appeared prim and proper
Isaac loosened his collar indignantly and snorted coldly out of his chest.He vividly remembered that the woman with him that night was so inexperienced.On the other hand, Whitney had a boyfriend. After seeing how intimate they had been, Isaac could tell that they had definitely done it before."The cameras were sabotaged that night so we lack definitive evidence, making it likely for a mistake. I'll check again… But it would have been ideal if you'd given her a token or something…" Stan said, heading off to the hospital while not forgetting to complain."Wait…"Isaac suddenly called out to him. "Never mind."Now that he had calmed down and thought about it, would a woman who spread her legs under those circumstances be a woman of virtue?Desiring her to be saint when she offered her virtue on a whim?He was asking for too much.Still, none of it meant a thing to him now!Whoever that woman was, he no longer felt butterflies in his stomach for her. Stan naturally did not u
Over the years, Irene did not have much savings because she had been footing her mother's medical bills.Nonetheless, now that her career as a doctor was over, she had to work another job. Her dream as a military doctor was also delayed—not abandoned, even if she was forced to concede it because of her life at the moment.She would become a doctor again if she had the chance.Eventually, she left the hospital and took a taxi back to the mansion."Mrs. Jefferson, are you ill? You look pale," Mrs. Watson said in concern as she entered.Irene shook her head. "I'm fine."As she entered after changing into loafers, Mrs. Watson pressed on, asking, "Don't you have work today?"After all, Irene had always been busy and often took night shifts.Irene's heart skipped a beat, and she looked up at Mrs. Watson. It was true—she was supposed to be at work, but…Repressing her bitterness, Irene steeled herself and smiled. "I took a few days off. The chief approved my leave already. "Mrs.
Irene had no idea what Isaac was talking about. Looking up into his eyes for two heartbeats, she eventually realized what it was, but she did not react.‘He must be humiliating me again,’ she thought to herself.She simply kept her head down and ate as quickly as she could.Isaac naturally frowned because of her silence. "What's the hurry? No one is stealing from you."He was actually perplexed—the boorish way she wolfed her food was somehow acceptable, even a little adorable.It was much better than pretentious women who put up a prim and proper act.Nonetheless, Irene waited until she was finally finished and drank two mouthfuls of water before snapping, "How I eat is my own business. Why do you care?!" Jobless because of him, she had nothing to fear now—it was time to go all out!Isaac slowly looked up, his visage projecting coldness just then. "You're too bored, aren't you?"‘What happened to her? What is with that false bravado? ‘And her wording… She really wants to
