Chapter 576
Although Isaac had now seen Debbie's true nature, he asked, "Why would you hurt James Cross? He was the one who got you recommended to this job. Shouldn’t you be grateful?"
He wanted to know if James found out about some sort of secret she had, that forced her to silence James.
"I really liked that diamond necklace you plan to give Irene Spencer, and I put it on as I fantasized that you gave it to me-James caught me red- handed, and I knew right then that he saw through me. So, I tried to silence him... permanently.”
Debbie then paused for a moment before adding, "Oh, I'm grateful that he got me this job, but he became my obstacle after he saw what I did.
Hesitation is the worst thing to do, so I had to do what I did... who knew that he would've survived that instead."
"Since you wanted to keep things quiet, why dispense with your disguise now? Are you really that confident that I'll bend to your whims?" Isaac leaned against his chair, but every nerve in his body was stiffening despite his nonchalant appearance.
"Well, after working for you for so long, I know how ruthless you can be, but I don't mind telling you that I've done my homework."
Pursing her lips, she said, "I wouldn't have carried out my plan this early, but I noticed that Irene knows about my secret. She was definitely worried that I would try to murder James for good, so she told Zachary Slate to hide him."
'That's not the worst either-Ricky Spencer was actually the one who forced my hand after I discovered that he was the one who had been keeping me tailed and blackmailing me. If he told you that I was the one who hurt James, I'd be killed. It's the reason I did not hesitate, and was forced to strike first."
Fortunately, it turned out that she was not too late, and this situation was exactly what she wanted.
"Either way, I hold the lives of your son and Ricky Spencer in my hands. Deny me, and I promise you that you'll save neither."
Debbie's lips then curled up in a smile. "I worked for you-l know you best. That's why I have been meticulous and never cut corners. Understand that you'd never get another antidote, and the only way to save your son is to marry me."
Isaac's gaze darkened like an impending storm.
Even though she was mentally prepared and had seen him getting furious, Debbie still took a step back in fear.
Isaac's phone rang just then.
It was Irene's call, and he naturally believed everything she said now that Debbie had revealed her true colors, even giving a noncommittal grunt when Irene asked if he knew about Debbie's true nature.
Irene's words only serve to confirm Debbie’s threat.
He was already fatigued with his other child, who was still missing and her fate unknown... only for Debbie to hurt Tommy now.
All he knew just then was that he must kill Debbie for this.
It was absolutely necessary!
His fingers clenching over his phone, he said, "I'm breaking up with you, Irene..."
