Chapter 608
Debbie was not going to die so soon, but while she was being locked in the coffin with a corpse, her heart might stop from sheer terror before she bled out!
Even if she survived that, being forced to stay in such a compact space with a corpse was sheer torment!
The reason Isaac did not set the fire right away was to make her taste despair!
After leaving the mansion, Isaac headed to the hotel to take a bath and change his clothes.
He was not supposed to meet Irene after being to such a terrible place, which was why he had to scrub off the foulness he felt had latched on to him!
An hour later, he headed to the mansion he arranged for Irene.
Tommy was asleep after taking his medicine, and Irene was drinking the soup Mrs. Watson made her at the dining table.
Mrs. Watson was sad to see her burn the candles on both ends, and now that Tommy recovered, everyone was relieved, just as Irene could take the time to get some proper rest!
Sheryl was tidying Tommy's clothes on the couch and appeared puzzled when she heard the doorbell.
"Who is it?" she asked, since no one other than them had been here since they moved here.
Irene was there with them as well, so the doorbell was rather abrupt.
"Could you get the door, Mom?" Irene said, thinking that it was Isaac since he would have been done with Debbie by now.
Sheryl did so, but her face fell the instant she saw that it was Isaac, snapping, "Oh, what a rare occasion! I wonder what could have possibly brought you here?"
Sheryl had been content and respectful toward Isaac as her son-in-law before, but she was naturally hostile now. After all, Debbie had chased them out of their house while Tommy was still sick, even flexing her status as Isaac's new fiancee in their faces.
Would she have been able to do that without Isaac's own approval? Sheryl certainly held a bitter grudge for that!
"What are you doing here? Aren't you getting married soon?" she kept mocking him.
Isaac frowned and tried to look inside to find Irene, but she was at the dining room with her soup.
Did Irene even explain what had happened to Sheryl?
However, Sheryl saw what he did and moved to stop him from looking." What are you looking at? Leave, or I'll start yelling!"
