Chapter 204 “Isn’t that Chad Ross?!” Stan exclaimed in surprise. “I thought he was in love with Whitney Cox, and he

looked like he could die after she went missing. He’s marrying someone else already?”

“I told you to watch him-you never noticed that he was going to get married?” Isaac asked icily

He had been anticipating reprisals from Chad because he drove Whitney presumably to her death, and

therefore told Stan to always keep an eye on his movements.

“But my boys are watching him,” Stan quickly argued. “He wasn’t doing much, and I don’t even

recognize that woman.”

Worried that Isaac would snap at him for failing in his responsibility, he quickly tried to change the

subject. “Hold on, sir. Don’t you think the bride looks just like Whitney Cox? Maybe it’s a rebound

relationship?”

Isaac was not interested in the bride, but he was surprised that Chad would marry another woman so

soon.

He certainly did not hold back from challenging Isaac just to protect Whitney, and there had to be actual

love involved.

“Call off your guys. There’s no need to watch him now,” Isaac said flatly “Let’s go

Chad’s marriage was proof enough that he was over Whitney–Isaac therefore did not have to watch his

back for him now.

“Yeah,” Stan replied, and drove off.

Unbeknownst to them, the bride had been staring at their car the instant it arrived and stopped outside,

and was still watching as they drove into the distance.

The unrepressed spite in her eyes was certainly sinister.

“What are you looking at?” Chad asked just then.

“I saw Isaac Jefferson’s car,” the bride replied unhappily.

Chad patted her hand then. “It’s our happy day-we don’t have to get upset over him.”

The bride nodded in agreement. “Yeah”

Over at Jefferson Manor, Moneypenny hurried into Henry’s study, informing him, “I have done what you

asked, sir.”

Henry was satisfied with his performance–he had people tailing his butler after he asked him to find

leverage against Harvey Gooding, and Moneypenny did so without contacting Harvey.

“Good. Contact him now,” Henry said.

“Yes, sir.” Moneypenny replied, and left.

After he was gone, Henry called out, “Timmy.”

Timmy was his professional bodyguard, but was also adept at intelligence work.

“Leak news that Moneypenny was the one behind the abduction,” Henry said.

“Yes, sir. Right away, sir,” Timmy said and left.

Henry moved a black chess piece, checkmating the white side.

He leaked the news because he just wanted Harvey to know that Moneypenny had abducted his

mother.

If they were still in league with one another, that would drive a wedge between them.

Moreover, it was necessary to be wary of Moneypenny after his betrayal–he would have fired him if he

were younger.

After all, betrayal was betrayal–coercion notwithstanding.

However, he was now an old man and had become a little sentimental, a shadow of his ruthless self

during his younger days!

Meanwhile, Harvey was still busy looking for Irene, only to realize that another fire had just ignited in

his backyard

He almost jumped from sheer frustration when he got the call.

“Who is it?! Who has a death wish, kidnapping my mother?!” he demanded in frustration.

“We don’t know, sir…”

The answer left him even more frustrated, and he snapped, “Did I pay all of you to goof off?! Find

them!”

“Yes, sir.”

He flung his cellphone away the instant he hung up, and it shattered into pieces with a loud crack.

He had no idea who it was, when Isaac came to mind….

“Enrique!”

His assistant entered the room. “Yes, Mr. Gooding?”

“Get my chopper ready. I need to leave right away-” Before he could finish, the phone on his desk

started ringing.
