Irene doubted that. Moneypenny clearly stated that Henry was behind everything.
Keeping herself as calm as possible, she said, “Tommy is Isaac’s son. Do a paternity test if you doubt
me.”
Henry frowned, appearing doubtful. “What?”
“My child is Isaac’s too.” Irene snarled every word.
Henry almost slipped just then-a servant reacted quickly to catch to stop him from falling.
“Go! Get me Moneypenny right now!” he barked.
“Yes, sir.” The servant promptly left to look for the butler as soon as he helped Henry to a chair.
Irene was actually confused just then. “You… didn’t take my child?”
“Why would I lie to you?” Henry retorted. “Yes, I was hoping you’d get Isaac to fall for Kathy York, but I
didn’t know about your child. Hell, I would’ve taken the boy away from you at the mansion when we ran
into you last time–even after all that has happened, I’m not that cold that I’d forget the fact that your
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtgrandfather saved me.”
Irene was still doubtful, however. “Then why would Moneypenny take away Tommy, while acting as if it
was your orders?”
Suddenly, the servant who left to find Moneypenny ran back into the room, exclaiming, “I’m sorry, sir,
but Moneypenny has gone missing!”
“What?!” Henry sprang to his feet, losing his composure right then. “Then, start looking!” Irene’s face
turned ashen in fear, and she stumbled backwards, almost falling over.
If Henry did not know as well… then her child was in grave danger!
This would not do! She must look for them!
But just as she made to leave, Henry called out, “Where are you going? You don’t even know where
they are!”
Irene could not help yelling, “What, am I supposed to wait here?!”
Henry might be old, but he was far from senile–he doubt that Moneypenny would betray him.
Something sinister was afoot!
“Give me time. I’ll have my people look for him,” Henry told her.
Irene could not calm down, let alone stay there and wait.
“I’ll help with the search!”
Henry gestured for his servant to stop her. “You think that’d help?”
“I have to do something!” Irene’s tears welled in her eyes–she could not do nothing when her child was
missing!
“My people will return with Moneypenny, and we’ll get to the bottom of this!” Henry assured
her. “Rushing into things does nothing–you’d be no different from a headless fly crashing blindly
everywhere. Give me time so that we can find Moneypenny and get to the truth!”
Irene knew that she was just being impulsive and unable to stay calm.
After all, the fate of her son was unknown.
She started to wobble, unable to stand straight.
“I promise you, I’ll find them,” Henry said he certainly knew Moneypenny thoroughly after the man had
served him for so long
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIrene did her best to take deep breaths and calm herself.
Everything was far beyond what she could have expected.
After looking at Henry for a while, she could tell that he was not lying.
But in that case, who was the mastermind behind Moneypenny?
Henry thought of the same question, and his first thought was Ian Jefferson and his wife- they did
attack Isaac before.
He had warned them to stay in line, but there was still a chance that they were up to no good!
“Does Isaac know about Tommy?” Henry asked tentatively then.
“He doesn’t,” Irene replied–she did not have the time to tell him.
“Don’t tell him for now,” Henry said quietly. “With your child’s fate unknown, he’ll rush into things once
he finds out. You don’t want him to do anything dangerous, do you?”
“No, I don’t.” Irene pursed her lips–she certainly knew Isaac’s temper.
If he knew that their child was still alive but missing, he would not just sit and wait.
“Sir, Moneypenny’s family is gone. They must have left earlier,” one of the servants reported. just then.
Henry’s expression turned grave and he rose to his feet. “Let’s go.”
Remembering Irene just then, he told her, “Stay here and wait for me.”
Irene was silent, but she decided that she could not wait–she would leave and start searching.
