His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 2487

The old woman's last words echoed in her mind, followed by her devastated cries.

...

Two days later, Irene arrived at the Woods' mansion after settling the old woman's funeral.

Ever since the old woman had fallen sick, Irene had been working in the kitchen of the Woods family's mansion.

The money that the old woman earned each month was sufficient to support Irene through college. Being the grateful child she was, Irene would help with chores in the Woods' mansion whenever she had time. This was after the old woman had secured a job in the mansion.

All the servants in the mansion knew Irene and took rather good care of her.

"Irene, how's your grandma? Are you still going to work here? The butler asked about her yesterday!" a servant who knew Irene asked.

"Mrs. Flores, my grandma has passed away," Irene muttered while lowering her gaze.

"Oh, dear! Perhaps it's better that way. You will exhaust yourself, working between jobs while balancing school as you take care of your grandma!"

"I'm fine."

"Even if you are fine, your grandma wasn't! The last time I saw her, she was a living skeleton, and it was hard to watch. Now, she is free from her pain. Talk to the butler later and beg him to let you stay, or you won't be able to pay for your tuition." Mrs. Flores tapped her on the shoulder.

"Thank you, Mrs. Flores."

"You must be tired. Look at how skinny you are," Mrs. Flores said before handing her a piece of bread. "This is the leftovers from breakfast. Eat this! I feel sorry for you to have to live on your own from now on," she said, before sighing pitifully while staring at the scar on Irene's face.

Irene still felt uncomfortable whenever people stared at her scar.

Though she knew that her path would never cross with Rose's again, it was still comforting to know that Rose was happy.

In another three months, Irene would be turning eighteen, but this time, she would be alone on her birthday.

...

"Hey, something big is happening again! Mr. Woods brought home an illegitimate son from his business trip! I heard that they are at the airport, and Mrs. Woods is losing her temper in her room as we speak!"

"Tsk, tsk. Another illegitimate child? How old is he? I'm impressed by Mr. Woods, actually. It's not easy to stay so 'active' despite his age. It's no wonder that Mrs. Woods is angry!"

"I don't know how old the kid is, but he must be of age. I heard that Mr. Woods is clearing the South Block for his son. I think there's going to be a lot of drama in the next few months! Let's be careful not to irritate the family. Getting fired is one thing, but one wrong move might get us killed!"
