Chapter 461
Harvey was left speechless from shock.
Irene nodded.
“Those are the people backing Mead Clinic.”
“I know,” Harvey groaned.
“The Raideen dynasty is a famous dynasty of magnates whose legacy began from the 19th century, and one of
their members became the world’s first billionaire.
They’ve now built a monopoly over Minerva’s oil industry, while branching out to every other industry.”
Looking up at Irene, he asked, “Why are you showing this to me?”
“I’m not going back to Zidonia,” Irene told him.
“There’s a lot to learn in Mead Clinic, and I like the working environment here.
Actually, I know the man you warned me about —he’s Mark Wickers, an entrepreneur in the pharmaceutical
industry.He’s actually conscientious and an idealist, and he’s here because he doesn’t want to see Mead Clinic
creating a monopoly over the research.”
Clenching her fingers a little, she said, “I know that this is difficult, but could you come up with a way to claim a
share of this project so that it does not become a monopoly?”
“I don’t think I can,”
Harvey admitted, but quickly added, “but I’m sure Isaac Jefferson could.You may not be aware of his current
influence, but he has been throwing himself into work since you were gone.Give it a year or two, and he’ll become
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtpopular across the world.”
To Irene, however, each mention of Isaac felt like a needle pricking her heart.
Still, the way Harvey put it actually made her want to laugh.
Popular across the world? He was not some celebrity…
Harvey continued, “I know you don’t want to meet him.Just leave it to me.”
“Sorry for the trouble,” Irene said.
Harvey chuckled.
“It’s fine.I’m happy to help.”
He had no idea why Irene wanted everyone to believe that she was dead, but she must have her own reasons since
she was not telling him.
Moreover, the fact that she left Isaac meant he stood a chance and he must seize this opportunity.
There must be a rift between her and Isaac for her to leave him while pregnant, and he must not miss this chance
again.
Women are vulnerable when they are pregnant, and he would warm her heart if he took care of her.
When that happened, Isaac’s woman was his… and even his child would call Harvey daddy! The very thought was
exciting! Naturally, the dream was so beautiful that he was grinning broadly.
Irene raised a brow.
“What, did something good happen? What’s with that dirty smile?”
Harvey quickly composed himself.
“Who are you calling dirty?”
That was so harsh! Still, he must put on a good show around Irene.
“Anyway, eat.You can have mine too.”
Harvey pushed his plate toward her.
Irene was speechless—did he take her for a pig? “By the way, I could get you a plastic surgeon,”
Harvey suddenly said.
Irene leveled an incredulous look at him.
“I know more doctors than you do.”
Harvey did a double take.
That was true—how did he forget that Irene was a doctor herself? If she wanted reconstructive surgery, she would
be able to get the best.
Nonetheless, he asked, “What, are you going to wear that scar for the rest of your life?”
It was not as if he hated it, but it was just so gruesome that it really left the heart skipping a beat to see it, not to
mention that she was a woman.
“It can wait,” Irene said flatly.
“I can’t have surgeries while pregnant.”
There was no issue aside from slight inconveniences in her daily life, although she also remembered Harvey called
her ugly repeatedly…
“Look, I know I look ugly right now, but I won’t force you to be my friend…”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Who called you ugly? Point me to him, and I’ll break his jaw.”
“You did,” Irene said—she was never going to forget it.
Harvey pursed his lips, racking his brains just then on how to defend himself.He did not know the truth at the time.
If he had known it was her, he would never have said that even if it killed him! Naturally, he was left feeling
flustered and was even less able to find an excuse.
Irene giggled.
“You should see your face—to be fair, I am ugly, and you’re just speaking the truth.It’s no slander, and you weren’t
the one to tell me that either.”
She clearly did not mind.
Harvey made a serious face just then.
“You’ll always be in my heart.Irene saw the look in his eyes and could not help averting hers— she was not used to
Harvey being so serious.
“I should go.”
“I’ll walk you home.”
As she rose, Harvey got up too and paid for dinner.
Although he wanted a look inside her house, she promptly shut the door in his face when they reached home.
“I need to get some rest.”
Harvey was left at a loss for words, but he was not giving up yet.
In her house, Irene stared at her own face for a moment before she took a shower, but her gaze was calm.She was
woken up early the next day by an urgent knock on the door.
“Who is it?” she asked, rubbing her eyes as she headed over to open the door…and saw the man standing outside!
