Chapter 225
Striding toward Robin, Ian demanded, “Who are you looking for?”
“Irene Spencer. What’s wrong with that?” Robin replied.
Ian narrowed his eyes. “She’s onboard?!”
Robin had no idea why he was glowering, and explained, She just came here with me. She’s a friend, and she won’t tell anyone about this place. We’re leaving once she comes back-”
“A friend?” Ian’s brow was twitching. “Do you even know who she is?!”
Robin felt a foreboding sensation just then. “We just met
“Just met?!” Ian growled through his teeth. “And you already brought her aboard?”
“Who is she? Why are you so upset?” Robin asked then- was Irene Spencer someone special?
“She’s Isaac’s wife!” Ian bellowed, and took a moment to calm himself. “Well, whatever. Thank goodness I found out early and this didn’t get worse. She’s not getting away as long as she’s on board.”
Robin froze. “She approached me… On purpose?”
“What do you think?” Ian retorted. “I dumped you
because I was hoping Isaac and his people wouldn’t come after you. Guess I was still too late, but no matter. Now that the cat is out of the bag, I can tell you that Irene Spencer was using you to find her baby.”
“You took her baby?” Robin gasped in surprise.
“Yes, and he’s everything to me. As long as I have him, I can force Isaac to give me everything he has even Light Group.”
“And that woman just now…”
“Like I said, a wet nurse,” Ian answered simply, before adding, “The baby was having a crying fit. I needed her to feed him.”
Irene could swim, and had hid herself by latching herself to one of the lifebuoys tied up over the hull of the cargo ship.
However, when Ian’s crew failed to find her on the ship, they thought of the hull as well, and found her in no time at all.
“Over here!” one of the crew members yelled, and his companions were there soon.
“Let’s go look,” Ian said, bringing Robin along.
His crew did not capture Irene immediately, since she would not be able to hold on for that long–they simply stood aside, watching and laughing at her.
As Ian looked down at her as well, he smiled. “Did you think you would get away in the middle of the ocean? You came here on your own, so don’t blame me if I prove to be less than gentlemanly.”
With that, he gestured for the crew to pull her aboard.
Irene glanced at the sea beneath. She would break something if she jumped and it was too far to swim ashore. Not to mention that there was no telling what lurked beneath the depths. Eventually, she decided to go up on her own. Stop. I’ll get up myself. Eleven. When she got aboard, Ian’s crew encircled her as if worried she would run. Make way, Ian growled, knowing that there was no way she could run. She would not have surrendered otherwise. You were using me. Robin strode up to her then, as they looked each other in the eye, Irene knew that she could not argue because she did exploit Robin. I had to do this. I want my baby. Dash. Before she could finish, Robin raised her hand, ready to slap her. Stop.
