Chapter 182
Isaac finally looked up from his work when he heard Irene’s name.
Harvey naturally became smug at that, and opened the envelope to Isaac so that he could see the photo enclosed inside and their name. “See?”
Isaac remained calm and unaffected. “I dumped her. Take her with you all you want.”
However, Harvey knew by now that lie was too good at pretending, and did not even mind his dissing. “Of course you dumped her, and that’s on you. I don’t mind that she’s been with other men, and she’ll be mine from now on. For that, I have to thank you for letting go, but don’t worry, I’ll give her some proper loving.”
“Get out!” Isaac snapped, scrawling a signature on the bottom of a document and throwing it aside.
Harvey was grinning ear to ear at his response, as if challenging Isaac to hit him. “It’s this Saturday, Mr. Jefferson! Don’t forget!”
Isaac’s lips curled up savagely as Harvey put down the invitation. “See you there.”

When he saw her, he asked, “Did you make Mr. Jefferson upset?”
Isaac had just called him–he sounded like he was ready to kill.

“How should I know?” Stan snorted–he was almost scared witless from Isaac’s call.
