Chapter 122
“When did that happen?!” Isaac barked.
“I’m guessing in the last 48 hours,” Stan replied from the other end. “I just received word myself.”
“Find her!” Isaac bellowed then.
“Yes, Mr. Jefferson.”
When he hung up, Isaac flung his phone at the table, smacking it loudly as if to reflect his mood.
“What happened?” Irene asked. “Is it really that bad?”
For Isaac, it could well be-Whitney Cox had just been rescued by her former flame, the rich kid named Chad Ross.
Meeting Irene’s gaze, Isaac told her, “It’s nothing.”
However, he would never allow Whitney to stay unpunished-she had impersonated Irene, and had indirectly caused him to kill his own child!
On the other hand, Irene did not dwell on the matter. She simply presumed that it was a bad day at the office, and kept eating.
After they finished breakfast and were ready to leave, Moneypenny-the butler from Jefferson Manor-arrived, and told Isaac, “Master Isaac, Master Jefferson is asking to see you. Please return to the manor with me, if convenient.”
“Understood,” Isaac replied, and turned toward Irene, “Stay here. Take your time to rest.”
Irene nodded her leg had recovered but was hardly limber.
As Isaac headed out, Moneypenny followed. Just as he stepped out the front door, he turned to look at Irene.
When she saw the look in his eyes, she realized why Henry was asking for Isaac.
Did Lionel speak to Henry already? Was Henry really going to tell Isaac to divorce her?
Even as she moved to sit on the couch, she felt a little tense, and her eyes seemed unfocused.
But why was she being tense? She wanted a divorce, did she not?
Still, she found herself heinous when she considered how nice Isaac had been lately. However, she soop perished the thought, hating herself to even think it.
