Chapter 339
Isaac was quite irked.
“Yeah,” he grunted coolly and left.
And the instant he was gone, Irene’s face fell.
She breathed a long sigh and told herself not to be petty–it was not worth it.
Even so, it felt like she had something stuck in her heart, and she could not stop herself from imagining what the other woman was like.
Was she beautiful?
Did she stand out of the crowd?
Were they innocent playmates? Childhood friends? A match made in heaven?
Why else was Isaac unable to forget about her?
Messy thoughts poured into her mind like an endless spring. She shook her head firmly to stop herself from imagining it, and started reading a medical textbook to calm herself.
Unsurprisingly, her thoughts were soon completely drawn to the contents of the book, and the hours ticked past before she knew it.
Meanwhile, the situation at Light Group was taking a turn for the worse, with lan being remanded for investigation while things appeared bleak in the company.
Everyone else was speculating if this would lead to their bankruptcy.
For Henry, his concern to save face was now moot as his entire family was humiliated, with no ounce of dignity left to speak of.
The evidence implicating Quincy’s murder of Kathy was concrete–her trial was merely a formality. As such, Henry was not going to bother helping her, not to mention that she attempted to murder Greg as well.
From that point alone, Henry was already being merciful in refraining from making things harder for her. Still, it was only because Greg survived that Henry did not get involved.
That being said, her doom was her just deserts–especially when she was not a Jefferson.
