Chapter 696
Harvey grinned with considerable difficulty. "Why don't you give me Irene-"
Before he could finish, however, Isaac had already thrown him into a pond with a loud splash!
Harvey was splattering water everywhere-he could swim, but he had long since been left exhausted by Isaac's torment and he was on his last breath.
He did not struggle at all underwater, and simply kept sinking.
As Isaac turned around, he saw James and growled, "Don't help him."
James lowered his head. "Yes, sir."
However, once Isaac had gone far enough, he beckoned for his men to quietly fish Harvey out of the pond.
If Harvey was killed, there was no cleaning up the ensuing mess-what if all the videos and images of Irene went online?
He knew Isaac well enough to tell that he was not that impulsive, and that he had only lost his calm from sheer rage this time.
As Isaac drove away, James followed suit.
The entire mess was so abrupt that he had a hard time letting it sink in, and he had to follow Isaac since he was worried that Isaac would do something drastic again.
At the same time, he called his men to lock Harvey up somewhere, adding, "Don't let him die.”
At the very least, they need to get all the photos and videos he has before they do.
"Yes, sir," a voice replied, and James hung up.
He kept following Isaac until Isaac's car suddenly stopped by the road and he stayed there for a long while.
James eventually alighted and walked upto it, and he found Isaac simply sitting there in silence.
He did not have anything to assure Isaac or comfort him-words seemed hollow and feeble at a time like this, and he could understand the psychological toll even though it did not happen to him.
Maybe he did not want silence just then, so James asked tentatively, "How about a drink?"
Who knew? If Isaac got drunk, his mind would clear when he got sober and he would be able to rationally clean up the mess.
Isaac looked up at him cooly for a couple seconds.
Then, he started his car again and drove off without a word.
