NovelOnlineChapter 175
Irene decided that she could not sit and wait!
As Henry left for Ian’s home, Irene left Jefferson Manor, though she lingered at the gates, wondering as
to who would want to abduct her baby…
Bzzt-
Her phone suddenly rang.
When she answered, Sheryl was crying urgently from the other end. “Irene? Please come home
quickly!”
“What’s wrong?” Irene asked.
“It’s the people who took Tommy. They’re asking for you!”
Irene became spirited the instant she heard that there was a clue about Tommy’s whereabouts.
“I’ll be there as soon as I can,” she replied, and quickly used her phone to summon a taxi.
That was when a car drove up to Jefferson Manor.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStan alighted, but averted his eyes when he saw Irene.
For her part, she was actually confused why he would come at this hour. “Why are you here?” she
asked.
“There’s something I have to get,” Stan replied, and headed into the manor.
Irene did not press the subject since she could not spare a thought for anything but Tommy- nothing
was more important than her baby.
Still, Stan soon stepped out with a chest, and Irene remembered seeing it.
Henry had also told her that before that the chest was very precious to Isaac.
“Why are you taking that?” she asked in curiosity.
“Mr. Jefferson told me to get it and give it to Kathy York,” Stan admitted.
Irene did a double take, and asked, “Isn’t it supposed to be very precious to him?”
Stan appeared afraid to look into Irene’s eyes. “It’s just an object, no matter how precious it is. Also, I
don’t think I’ll be visiting your company from now on–you should consult someone else if you need
help.”
With that, he got into his car.
Irene quickly ran up to him, asking, “Stan, please explain! What was that supposed to mean?”
“I’m just doing what Mr. Jefferson told me to do,” he said as he started his car. “If there’s anything
you’re confused about, just ask him yourself.”
“Isaac? He told you to do it?” she pressed.
Stan sighed. “I’ll be honest–he adores you very much, and has been most patient with you. And yet,
you keep running away or try to fix him up with other women, so I think he’s truly giving up on you this
time…”
“So he’s into Kathy York now?” she rasped. “He’s even giving her what was most precious to him?”
“I’m not sure,” Stan replied. “I’m just following orders, and again–if there’s anything you’re confused
about, just ask him yourself.”
With that, he sped off.
Irene’s face was ashen.
So Isaac was serious when he said he would divorce her?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe was already wooing another woman as well, and not shying from giving away his most precious
object?
Her lips curled up in a bitter smile.
He had kept saying that he loved her, but he never gave that to her.
It seemed that Kathy was more important, did it not?
As those thoughts crossed her mind, icy tears trickled down her cheeks, but she wiped them away
firmly!
Men were volatile, and a man like Isaac even more so!
He was probably sick of her now–she was stupid to think that she could make up with him!
After drying her tears, she reared her head and decided that she did not have to mourn losing a man
like him.
He certainly did not deserve to be the father of her child!
Moreover, she had no time to shed tears now–what she must do now was find her child soon.
Her taxi soon arrived after, and she hurried back to Spencer Mansion, asking the instant she stepped
through the door, “Who is it? Who took Tommy?!”
Sheryl did not have time to answer when the man in the living room stood up and said, “It’s me.”
