Henry was already feeling ill and irritable, but he still had to comfort Kathy as she continued her crying
fit.
That alone made Henry think less of her than Irene.
Women could be delicate and their vulnerability might tug at the heartstrings of men, being exceedingly
spoiled would get on anyone’s nerves.
but
Henry was already feeling irritable, and he certainly did not have the patience to comfort someone else!
“You told me you wanted me to get together with Isaac, right?” Kathy sobbed.
Henry kept his patience as he told her, “Sit.”
At the same time, Moneypenny reminded her, “Say what you have to, but no one would understand you
if you cry louder than you speak.”
Kathy glanced between him and Henry just then. Even though Henry was not visibly angry, he was a lot
less mild than usual. She was naturally smart enough to notice Moneypenny’s kindness, and quickly

Having ensured that she was calm, she said, “Did you know? Isaac transferred me from the
headquarters to a branch office! I won’t be able to see him, let alone get him to warm up to me
Henry was not actually surprised–that was Isaac’s style.
He then remembered that he had basically pushed Irene to Isaac as well, but she had never come to
him bawling like Kathy. In fact, she had never complained to Henry about any grievance she suffered,
nor shed a tear even when Isaac made her bleed right here in this manor!
He would never have been able to tell if he never compared them, but once he did, it became apparent
to him that Kathy was a far cry from Irene!
Even if most men would agree that a woman with looks and a caring side was good enough, Isaac
covered so many bases that he did not need someone that extraordinary–but a crybaby certainly would
not do!
Henry actually felt awkward just then.
He was the one who had proposed the match in the first place, and if he reneged now, he would have
broken a promise to both Cedric and Kathy.
And if she held a grudge…
What a dilemma!
Moneypenny could tell what he was thinking, and hence thought of an idea.
“Ms. York, Master Jefferson has already assisted you plenty, even making you Master Isaac’s savior.
You should be using it to your advantage—what do you think Master Jefferson can do even if you came
crying to him? Tie Master Isaac to your bed?”
Kathy flushed and lowered her head in embarrassment.
At the same time, Henry glanced at Moneypenny–his words lacked tact, but Henry did not refute it.
After all, it was almost reasonable: Kathy should be coming up with ideas of her own to make Isaac fall
for her.
How much could Henry help, when Isaac was already upset with him?
“How can I help?” he asked just then.
Kathy certainly had no idea because even drugs failed to work on Isaac. What else could he do?
Her womanly wiles? That would only work if they spent time together, so that he noticed her virtue!
“Could you stop Isaac from transferring me to the branch office? He’ll definitely fall for me if I stay with
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhim.”
Kathy believed that she had the looks–and while it was no lie, she also believed that Isaac would fall for
her as long as she could stay around him!
“I don’t think I can help you,” Henry said earnestly. “You should be using your own advantage to the
fullest.”
Kathy was puzzled and mistakenly believed that he was talking about her looks. “But he’s not much of
a gentleman-”
Henry frowned even before she finished–she was a little stupid, was she not?
Moneypenny had already told her outright, but she still could not get it.
“Isaac values sentiment. You are now the person who ‘saved‘ him, aren’t you? Learn to use that.”
Kathy vaguely understood, but said, “He already chased me off… How do I use that? He clearly
doesn’t care about me, even though I’m supposed to be his savior.”
Henry suddenly felt that speaking with her was tiring! He decided right then to just flip a coin, and that
the position of Isaac’s wife is up for grabs to anyone, as long as they had what it took!

may have suggested setting you up with him, but you must have been interested in him in the first
place to agree to it, right?”
He was just too old to care!
