One of the bodyguards gestured for the street thug to speak, and he stammered over the phone, "T-The person you asked me to tail… Just entered her apartment block…""Irene… Oh?!"Sheryl just happened to step outside the apartment block with Tommy, and she yelped when she saw them.The person on the other end seemed to have heard them and quickly hung up.Irene took the street thug's phone and called the same number again, but no one answered this time.They dropped the ball.One of the bodyguards snarled then, "You have a place to meet, don't you?!"The street thug nodded. "Yeah."The bodyguard turned toward Irene. "We will head over right now—we might reach them in time."Irene nodded. "Yeah."With that, the bodyguards shoved the street thug into the car and drove off.Sheryl walked up to Irene then, having seen them."Who were those people?" she asked.Irene smiled. "The protection detail Isaac arranged." "Are there bad people after us?" Sheryl asked. "No," Irene rep

Peter gloated smugly. "Of course I do. I was the one who planned it all out!"Although the conspiracy to murder Lulu was his, it was Zachary's mother who pulled the trigger.The cops would never trace it back to him since he covered his tracks well, too. On the other hand, Zachary felt like he could crush the bottle in his hand as he listened, but he restrained his temper with every ounce of control he had."I see. What was the plan?" he asked, having done his best to hide the rage from his voice to stay as calm as possible."We've looked into it, but Lulu Adams has no connections at all… Her mother is dead, while her father remarried and doesn't care about her, so I told your mom that no one would ever notice if someone like her disappeared… and we did just that."Though Peter's gaze seemed to turn turbid, he was getting increasingly elated the more he spoke. "I told her that no one would ever find a body if we fed Lulu to the fishes, and your mom really listened! After I bankr

Zachary's gaze darkened."Good," he murmured softly.…Inside the Lindts' residence, Shirley's jaw was dropping after seeing Zachary's attitude. "Did he get up on the wrong side of the bed?"Why else would he suddenly show such a dramatic change of heart?"Yeah, he's definitely different now," Ember replied. "I can't get a read on him.""When did you ever?" Shirley said, giving her hand a squeeze. "You'd have won him over long ago if you did."Ember was actually left pensive just then—maybe her mother was right, and she never knew him?But she was convinced that she did. Peter stepped out of his office just then and told them, "I'm going out."Ember ran up to him, wrapping her hands around his arm as she asked, "What did you talk to Zachary about last night, Daddy?"Peter looked at her for a while and sighed. "He's been apologizing, saying that he shouldn't have asked for a divorce, and I could tell that he was earnest about it. Stop arguing with him already—you're not goin

"Ricky? What are you doing here?!" Irene was at first shocked to see Ricky, but soon snapped as she came to her senses. "Where have you been?!""Irene, please tell them to let go…" Ricky groaned—his arm felt like it would be ripped off soon.Irene quickly waved off the bodyguard. "I know him. Let him go!"The bodyguards did so and left, while Irene asked, "What happened to you? And why did you sell the mansion?""I thought you would help me find Lulu, but you went missing and Isaac left the country too," Ricky explained. "There's no one here to help me, and I don't have any clues where to look. It's like she's gone without a trace…""Anyway, I started drifting from bar to bar, when I spotted Isaac's secretary… Debbie, was it? She was talking to a man in a corner of the bar, acting all shady-like. I then followed the man… and guess what I saw?""What?" Irene urged. "Don't keep me in suspense.""He drove a dump truck and crashed it into James Cross's car."Irene's face fell, h

Irene glared coolly at Debbie, watching as she left.Her cool composure faded, replaced by aloofness.Debbie was getting more daring by the day.She must come up with something soon, or James would get killed if he was kept here."Debbie said that she is James's best friend," Erin asked just then. "But you don't seem to like her…?"Not liking Debbie was putting it lightly."We just can't see eye to eye," Irene replied, refraining from discussing the past just then. She must not let Debbie find out that she already knew that Debbie staged James's accident, or Debbie would resort to drastic measures."Have you been here every day?" she asked Erin."Yes," Erin replied.Even so, Irene was convinced that James would not be safe here—they had to get him out. Irene then watched as Irene massaged James's body, and could not help commenting, "You're very good at this.""I've been learning from his physiotherapist for a while," Erin replied.The physiotherapist Zachary hired was c
