Chapter 775
Isaac and Irene turned simultaneously to find a blonde, fair- skinned foreign lady standing at the front door. She was young and beautiful, but Irene was positive she did not know her.
“You are…?”
“Are you Irene Spencer?” the woman repeated—her pronunciation was so perfect that no one would think that she was a foreigner if they only heard her voice.
“Who are you?” Irene refused to answer her again.
“I’m asking, are you Irene Spencer?” Lara was equally stubborn and imposing!
“I don’t know you,” Irene replied, and took Isaac by the hand and started to leave.
Lara rushed toward them.
“Don’t you run away—”
Eagle caught her the instant she strode forward and she glared at him. “Let me go.”
There was no way Eagle would—instead, he shoved with just his wrist, bouncing her off.
Lara stumbled backwards and slipped, hitting the floor on her bottom.
She frowned in pain but got up, dusting herself.
“That was rude!” she snapped, pointing at Eagle and throwing the law in his face. “You’d better let me through, or I’m calling the cops because you just violated my personal rights!”
Eagle’s hawkish gaze remained placid.
That was when Isaac made his way towards them.
“Why are you looking for Irene?”
Lara studied him from head to toe. “And who are you?”
“You don’t have to know.”
Having confirmation that Irene did not know her, her sudden appearance was naturally an enigma.
As Lara raised her hand, poised to strike, Eagle stood between them again and warned, “Try anything funny again and I’ll break that hand.”
His burly form and hawkish gaze intimidated Lara right then. She bit her lip and glared at Irene as she demanded, “Why did you hurt Seth? You have no right!”
Irene frowned. “Seth?”
“Yes! Seth Hedge, my fiance! You broke his leg, and he’s now bedridden. Or am I not supposed to take issue with that?”
Irene was actually surprised by that, but she calmly retorted, “He deserved it. Why do you think I want him hurt, and not some random stranger?”
Before Lara could respond, Irene continued, “Now, leave if you have nothing else to say. Don’t bother me while I’m at work.”
Lara was advancing on her again, but paused as Eagle moved between them again. “I have a question. Can you be honest?”
“What?”
“What?”
Irene asked.
