"Yeah," Lulu said. "Zachary told his blind date that I'm his girlfriend. The woman felt like she had been swindled, and called Zachary's mother right then and there. It was such a mess…"Irene could actually imagine the scene just then!"And what happened after that? Why were you at Zachary's place? Did you talk things out?" Irene asked.Lulu was quiet for a while before finally saying, "He knows."Irene actually thought it was for the best. "You two are still in love anyway. He must be even more reluctant to break up now that he knows, right? You have no idea how depressed he has been lately—he actually drinks himself silly every day, and he must have lost a few pounds. It hurts to see him like that, don't you agree?"As a matter of fact, Lulu did. Zachary had always had a sunny personality, and it hurt her to see him so depressed.Even so, Zachary's mother would hate her more after what happened. His mother had already been dissatisfied with her modest family before, and woul

Irene turned when she heard it, and got off the window seat, walking up to Isaac when she saw him. "How's Zachary?"Isaac loosened his collar. "He's going to resign from the hospital and start work at his family's company."Irene's expression darkened. She knew that Zachary loved being a doctor—giving up must cause him misery."Win some, lose some." Isaac could see that she was worried. "Don't worry about him."Irene helped him take off his jacket but kept her eyes lowered. "I'm not."Staring at her just then, Isaac thought that she was being different today. Irene hung his jacket and asked, "Are you going to take a shower before you sleep?""Yeah," Isaac replied. "I'll warm the water for you," Irene said as she went to the bathroom.Isaac caught her wrist then and asked, "Something on your mind?"Irene smiled. "Does it look that way?"She just wanted to live peacefully with him, and confront her feelings for him.And yet, Isaac's heart raced as she was being agreeable an

With a cold and severe tone, Irene told Samantha, "You don't get to decide who the Spencer estate goes to. Also, I'll investigate my father's death, and I'll destroy you if you are guilty.""And I'll destroy you if you take a cent from my son's inheritance!" Samantha retorted."Mother…" Ricky was still trying to dissuade Samantha.Lionel had just died, and they were already fighting right in front of his body. How could he rest in peace at all?"I'm telling you, Ricky—don't listen to your father! I'm your only family, and that woman has nothing to do with you!" Samantha bellowed furiously, because it really upset her that her own son kept siding with Irene.She was convinced that Ricky's attitude was all Lionel's fault, that he had given his son all the wrong ideas!After all, how could there be a bond between step-siblings?Moreover, her personal grudge against Irene meant she could not allow him to be family with Irene, and the conflict over the inheritance would only drive th

It was Ricky!"Ricky!" Samantha ran to him in terror, fearful of the worse. Ricky was already unconscious when she lifted the shelf off him, and she slapped his cheeks, crying, "Get up, Ricky! Please, you're scaring me… Don't do this to me…"Samanthat's tears were genuine this time—Ricky was her only son, and everything she did was for him. She had pinned all her hopes on him! She could not live without him!"Why are you so stupid?! Why would you save her?! She's trying to take everything from you!"On the other hand, Irene was bleeding from her knee, but she whipped out her phone to call an ambulance even before taking a look at her own injury.When she limped over to check on Ricky, however, Samantha seemed to be convinced that she was out to hurt Ricky, and pushed her away. "Don't touch my son!"Irene stumbled, but coolly said, "Let me tend to him if you want him to be safe—I'm a doctor, I won't hurt him."Samantha, however, was cradling Ricky's head and crying hysteric

Mrs. Watson then noticed the tiny child in Irene's arms, and hurried toward her, asking, "Where's this baby from?"Before Irene could answer, she asked, "Is he yours, Ms. Adams?"Lulu glanced at Irene and smiled tenderly. "I wish—I'm not that lucky."That naturally puzzled Mrs. Watson. "Then, whose is he?""Mine," Irene replied. Mrs. Watson gaped. "Mrs. Jefferson… W-What did you just say?"Suddenly coming up with an idea, she asked, "Could he be Mr. Jefferson's?"Irene shook her head. "No.""What?!" Mrs. Watson became flustered. "If he isn't… then who's the father? Did you have a child with another man?""Yes," Irene replied, having no intention of denying it."Irene." A deep, slightly angry growl could be heard behind her just then.Irene turned to find Henry leaning against his crutch at the doorway. He was glowering, and must have overheard her conversation with Mrs. Watson. "Come with me," he growled, and headed to Isaac's study.Moneypenny was with him, and he level
