Isaac was glaring at Irene as if he would cut her into little pieces—if looks could kill, she would be dead already!"I was just—"Even as Irene tried to explain, Isaac sprang to his feet, clearly reluctant to listen to her, and strode out of the dining room.Irene pursed her lips but did not follow—he was furious, and he was not calm enough to listen to her explanations.She should give him time to calm down before talking to him."Achoo—"Irene suddenly clasped her hand over her mouth as she sneezed!Seeing that, Mrs. Watson asked, "Do you have a cold?"Irene nodded, and she quickly brought her cold medicine."Thanks," Irene sniffled.Mrs. Watson smiled. "You're Mr. Jefferson's wife. It's what I should do."Irene lowered her gaze at the mention of Isaac, but quickly took the medicine and washed it down with water. …After having breakfast, Irene changed into fresh clothes and headed to the hospital.Ensuring that Samantha was not around, she visited Lionel, and told hi

Lionel was convinced that after he sided with Irene on this one, she would not refuse him should he ask her to look after Ricky in the future. He had certainly thought of everything, and had already left a will dictating the distribution of his estates.Everything Samantha did was in vain!For her part, Samantha knew that Lionel never loved her.However, she never expected him to side with Irene, even going so far as to force her to surrender herself to the police by using his fortune as leverage!"I've been with you for over twenty years… Don't you trust me at all? I said I didn't…""Just stop already! Are you going to surrender yourself or not?!" Lionel promptly cut her short, because he was not in the mood for her nonsense. Samantha was left trembling even as she stood. While she did not love Lionel that much, they had been partners and he genuinely cared for her! How could he be so heartless?"I'm the mother of your son!" she snapped.Lionel remained calm despite her o

Kathy York was obviously surprised to see Isaac there as well.Still, she did not speak with him as the elders were talking, and stayed quietly beside her own grandfather.However, even if Isaac did not speak, his mere presence certainly caught attention.Cedric York noticed him immediately, and smiled. "Is this the grandson you're so proud of?"Henry did not hide his pride at all and chuckled heartily as he said, "Of course. He certainly outshone my son and myself in our prime!"Then, turning toward Kathy, he said, "And this is your sole granddaughter, I presume?"Cedric sighed. "Indeed. We only have each other, now that her father has passed away due to illness and her mother remarried."Henry sighed as well—he had lost his son too, and knew the pain of a parent who had to bury his child! "Isaac, would you mind showing Kathy around the manor while we old friends catch up?"Isaac could tell immediately what his grandfather was up to.Henry had told him to divorce Irene last

Kathy naturally noticed the look from Isaac, and her smile became even brighter. With that, he got up and left, though he got a call from his grandfather on the way back."Isaac, I heard that your company hired Kathy, but she was let go because she was not up to her task? Can't you arrange for something easier for her?""You arranged for her to show up, didn't you?" Isaac asked in return. Even if everyone at the manor was convinced their act was good, Isaac did not even need to guess what was happening—the signs were all there, not to mention that there were one too many coincidences. Regardless, Henry tried to keep up the act anyway. "What are you talking about? I don't understand.""Do I look like an idiot, Grandfather?" Isaac growled, his tone turning cool. "You were telling me to divorce Irene Spencer the last time we met, and now that woman shows up at the manor? You're just trying to get us together, aren't you?"Henry was convinced that his plan was foolproof, but Isaa

As Irene quietly explained everything, Isaac realized that while he had a general idea of what happened, he did not have the details.Now that he knew Samantha had picked that quiet place to attempt murder, he stiffened and asked, "Were you hurt?"Irene shook her head.Isaac was relieved, and remembered the injuries she inflicted on Harvey as well.She knew her way around a scalpel—she was not about to get hurt that easily. Even so, she was a woman—she had limits to her strength no matter how smart she was."Be more careful next time," he told her. "Contact me at once when you get in trouble next time.""Okay," Irene said, her bright, crystalline gaze flickering just then. "Isaac, I…"She wanted to tell her that she had a child just then, but swallowed her words just as it reached the tip of her tongue."What is it?" Isaac asked.Irene hung her head, wondering how she should piece the sentence. "I had something to say yesterday, didn't I?""Yeah?""I…"Bzzt—Her cell pho
