"Don't call me that. Say my name," Isaac demanded."I would never—"Before Irene could refuse, he had jammed his lips on hers, stopping her from talking.However, she clenched her jaw to stop his tongue from advancing!As Isaac pulled away, he found her glaring at him stubbornly. "Are you really not letting me kiss you?" He chuckled coolly. "Who would you rather kiss, then? Harvey Gooding?"Irene stiffened her neck, and lied outright despite thinking otherwise. "Yes."Isaac glowered horribly right then, and snorted coldly, "Don't even think about it!"He started to lean forward again, and Irene fought back in turn—but this time, he bit firmly down on her lips, and Irene winced in pain."Oof—"Embarrassed, she suddenly pretended to be receptive. Isaac was surprised as she took the initiative, but before he could revel in that sensation, Irene was biting his lip at the next instant, and her teeth closed a lot harder on his lips than when she did it to him. Isaac, however, di

Isaac took two steps backward, avoiding Kathy.Naturally, she was disappointed to miss, and asked Isaac tearfully, "How could you do this to me?"As Isaac remained impassive, she bawled miserably. "I saved you, didn't I? Those men almost had their way with me!""I will not work at the branch company!" she cried hysterically. "Even if it kills me!"Isaac frowned in disdain just then. "You were raised overseas, weren't you? I could arrange a job for you at a foreign company instead," he said—not relenting despite her tantrum.Kathy was left in disbelief. Was his heart made of stone? Could he not see the bruise on her face? Why was he insisting on making her leave?"Why can't I stay at headquarters? Was my performance lacking? I can improve—""I arranged a job for you because of my grandfather and because you were the owner of that silver crucifix. Do you think I would be here otherwise? I'm already being kinder than I should be just by being here, and if your answer is still n

Harvey quickly answered the telephone, believing that there was news about Irene."Hello…?""We have your mother. Come meet Master Jefferson if you want her freed.""Moneypenny?!" Harvey remembered the butler's voice, and narrowed his eyes. "He took my mother?""Yes," Moneypenny replied."Where?" Harvey growled through clenched teeth."Hibiscus Garden." "I'll be right there." He snarled every word, his face contorted with rage.Even if there were times when he was unreliable, he cared for his parents very much—especially his mother—and he had never committed any unforgivable crimes!"Get the car. We're leaving." Harvey growled urgently.Enrique was left confused. He wanted the chopper a moment ago, and now the car? Which was it, exactly?"Mr. Gooding…?""The car!" Harvey barked.Having confirmed his order, Enrique quickly said, "I will go right now."After Enrique left, Harvey was left scratching his neck in frustration. Forget not finding Irene—even his mother was n

Rosa had no idea what had happened, but she was aware that Jefferson Manor was not the place to talk.Once inside Harvey's car, she took her son's hand and said, "Tell me. What was all of that about?"She certainly felt uneasy about all that."Look, Harvey—your father left the company to you in its entirety, and I don't know much about business so I can't help much with that. I also know that things can get difficult for you, but even so, you shouldn't force a woman who doesn't love you to marry you. You would never find happiness that way."While Rosa was being considerate for her son's sake since he would not find happiness in a marriage where coercion was involved, she was also a woman—she knew that from the perspective of the bride, being compelled to marry someone she did not love was misfortune too."I wish I could have a daughter-in-law who is kind and understanding, but most of all, loves you for who you are. If you love her too, your marriage will last. That's why I've be

In the hospital, the doctor who had just performed the paternity test on Tommy had just put away his phone when he found Ian standing before him."Mr. Jeff—"Before he could finish, Ian had caught his collar. "Cut the crap. Tell me—why did my grandfather come to the hospital today?""It's a routine examination—""Do I look like an idiot?" Ian growled with a menacing glare. "Say that again, I dare you."The doctor was left shaking in his boots.Henry had pressured him into silence, but the man before him was no pushover either—leaving him treading on thin ice. "I would never dare.""So you do think I'm an idiot," Ian growled. "You think I wouldn't know? If it's a routine checkup, why would my grandfather be here at the genealogical department? Also, this hospital has the DNA of every Jefferson in case of emergencies. The only reason for using that would be for a paternity test for that baby my grandfather brought, no?""That's true, but I hadn't heard of any paternity test…"Ia
