Chapter 735
Irene's appearance surprised everyone.
They were all briefly stunned, but they soon turned toward Finn.
"How did you know it's actually here?"
None of them told him, after all.
Finn was just going to say that Yolanda told them, but Irene spoke before he could. "Is it really that hard for me to find out?'
Yolanda just arrived, and heard her-she realized right then that she should not have spoken in front of Finn. After all, the boy did not understand the politics involved and would admit the truth straightaway.
If everyone else found out that she was the one who talked, they would definitely give her a wide berth.
Meanwhile, Irene slowly approached the crowd, her gaze sweeping across those who just spoke nonchalantly. "You know who Isaac is to me. Of course he'll find out what I want to know."
Dennis walked up to her then. "Come, Irene. Sit with me."
Irene sat beside him naturally, while the people who were quite enthusiastic moments ago stopped moving and stayed silent.
Irene smiled. "Why are you standing there? Come on, sit."
They appeared cowed, but sat down nonetheless.
"I know you all doubt me, and as such, I'll accept any challenge. I'll give up my post if I lose," Irene said.
Dennis turned toward her. "Are you that confident?"
Irnee shook her head-she was not, but proving herself was the only way to make them shut up.
She had nothing to lose if they beat her anyway, since it just proved that her ability was lacking and that she should not take the post.
"Are you serious?" someone asked.
"Of course," Irene replied. "You can pick the date, too-anytime except today."
Fine. Tomorrow it is."
