Chapter 271

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

Chapter 272

Isaac wheeled on Kathy with an icy glare.She flinched, and quickly let go of him.His severe expression faded, and he said, "I’ll let you keep your job.""Really?" Kathy exclaimed in disbelief."If Quincy asked…""I got it," Kathy said, her mind suddenly sharp. "I’ll tell her that you are warming up to me.""Good," Isaac said.Kathy then asked, "How will I get my revenge?""Win her trust. I’ll slowly teach you how to get back at her.""Really?" Kathy asked stupidly."Of course."Kathy was certainly overjoyed, so much that she was forgetting what had happened just hours ago.Nearby, Stan was raising a brow—is Isaac going to use Kathy against Quincy?One must say that his method of turning Quincy's scheme against her was devastating! "Take your time to get better," Isaac said, and left. Stan followed Isaac and asked softly, "Sir, she did save you before… Using her like this is a little cruel, don't you think?"Isaac glanced at him and snorted. "Does she deserve anythin

Chapter 273

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,

Chapter 274

Isaac was in the photo, along with Kathy! They were standing outside a hospital ward, with Kathy holding the hem of Isaac's jacket—he had turned around, so his expression could not be seen.Irene did not flip out when she saw the photo, since the fact that she was sent it made one thing clear: someone wanted her to see it.Their objective was also obvious—they wanted a misunderstanding between her and Isaac.Thus, Irene refused to jump to conclusions and decided to listen to what Isaac had to say instead. Though she blackened the screen and turned to look outside the car, her mood soured by the minute. Suddenly, she seemed to forget entirely about Ricky. The photo was all she could think about.Although the rational part of her mind insisted that someone was deliberately attempting to drive a wedge between her and Isaac, the emotional side of her mind was still worried.After all, Kathy was beautiful… And why was she tugging at Isaac's clothes?Nonetheless, she was soon bac

Chapter 275

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

Chapter 276

Kathy’s doctor asked, "Who’s she to you?" Irene actually did not hear the doctor, because what she read was too shocking! They actually checked her for that?!"When was she admitted? Who brought her in?" she asked, when she eventually looked up."Just today," the doctor replied. "Kathy York, was it? She was brought in by this heartthrob—I heard he's the CEO of Sky Group and the most eligible bachelor in the city. Her clothes were in pieces, and there were clear signs of foul play."Irene was disgusted, and hid her lips behind her hand as she retched."Are you alright?" the doctor asked in concern."I'm fine, thanks for asking." Irene waved it off, and returned the clipboard to the doctor. "It's nothing," the doctor said."Next dinner is my treat," Irene added."Thanks," the doctor smiled.Once again, Irene avoided meeting Kathy at her ward, because her mind was a mess at the moment.She didn’t want to doubt Isaac, but she did ask, and he didn’t tell her that he was the o

Chapter 277

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

Chapter 278

"I'm not…" Irene denied it at first, but soon became silent for a while.Eventually, she admitted, "Yeah, I don't want you to go."Isaac loved that she was being clingy. "Okay," he replied quickly without hesitation. That actually left Irene doubtful. Was it possible that she misunderstood him? After all, he really loved Tommy."What's in your mind?" Isaac reached out to gather her in her arms while she was left conflicted.Irene evaded him by instinct even though she didn’t mean to—her suspicion of him getting it on with Kathy made her repulsed by the notion of being intimate with him. As Isaac's hands were left hanging mid-air, she quickly tried to divert his attention. "Hmm… Where's Tommy?"Isaac glanced at the bed, where their son was sleeping soundly. It looked like Tommy wasn’t about to wake up anytime soon.He had actually noticed that Irene was being weird, but did not point it out. Even so, he calmly lowered his hands and pinched her button nose. "I won't get u

Chapter 279

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

Chapter 280

Kathy asked, "Is Isaac not going to fall for me now?"'He wouldn't even if you weren't defiled,' Stan thought to himself. 'Why are you still not giving up?'He couldn’t say it, however, and instead said, "Yeah. You have no chance now after what Quincy did to you."Even if Stan didn’t continue directing Kathy's spite to Quincy Moore, Kathy absolutely loathed the woman now. "I hate her."With that, Stan stopped playing the recording. "My observation is that she really hates Quincy now. That spite can't be feigned."Irene promptly asked them, "So? Can you now tell me what happened?"Stan glanced at Isaac Jefferson then, and seeing his approval, began, "Well, it started with…"…When he was finished, Stan summed up, "And Kathy’s now still at the hospital."Irene patted her chest as he finished.Thank goodness Isaac wasn’t involved!So Kathy believed in Quincy and was exploited. The thought that Quincy was willing to ruin her chastity on a whim left Irene wary. She must be ca
