Chapter 561
One of the bodyguards gestured for the street thug to speak, and he stammered over the phone, ’T-The person you
asked me to tail... Just entered her apartment block..."
"Irene... Oh?!"
Sheryl just happened to step outside the apartment block with Tommy, and she yelped when she saw them.
The person on the other end seemed to have heard them and quickly hung up.
Irene took the street thug's phone and called the same number again, but no one answered this time.
They dropped the ball.
One of the bodyguards snarled then, "You have a place to meet, don't you?!’
The street thug nodded. "Yeah.’
The bodyguard turned toward Irene. "We will head over right now-we might reach them in time."
Irene nodded. "Yeah."
With that, the bodyguards shoved the street thug into the car and drove off.

Sheryl walked up to Irene then, having seen them.
'Who were those people?" she asked.
Irene smiled. "The protection detail Isaac arranged."
"Are there bad people after US?" Sheryl asked.
"No,” Irene replied-it was not the truth, but she did not want Sheryl to worry.
Moreover, she had no idea who sent that street thug or why they wanted her followed.
She held out her arms to Tommy, who held out his arms at her in return. Perhaps blood does run thicker than water.
Irene was certainly very happy and carried Tommy back to their apartment.
Sheryl then told her, "We have a dog now, but I don't think Tommy likes it very much."
Irene was puzzled. "Is it that ugly?"
'I'm not sure, but he just isn't warming up to it. Maybe it's the breed or even the size-the ones he likes tend to be
the bigger ones."
Irene returned home and saw the dog.
Its fur was curled and brown, and its eyes were perfectly circular. It was an adorable sight as it lay there tamely,
and it was the right size to raise at home.

They certainly could not rear a big dog here, since it was not a mansion with a garden.
While their apartment was not small, it did not have a garden.
Still, they could not throw it away right after they bought it.
"Let's keep it for now," Irene said-perhaps Tommy would warm up to it.
There was a knock on their door in the evening, and Mrs. Watson answered it.
It was the bodyguards from earlier, here to give Irene a report.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMrs. Watson had to wake Irene up since she went to bed early. Once Mrs. Watson told her about the bodyguards, she
quickly said, "Let them in."
As she put on a cardigan and stepped outside, the bodyguards were already waiting in the living room.
"Did you find the mysterious person?" Irene asked.
"No, ma'am," one of the bodyguards replied. "They bolted before we arrived. ■
Irene was not surprised, since the call earlier had tipped them off.
"It's late. You should get some rest," she told them.
The bodyguards did not ask her if they should continue investigating either, since their top priority was to keep Irene
safe.
Detective work was not their forte either.
Once they left, however, Irene stayed on the couch and did not return to her room.
She suddenly could not sleep. As she tugged on her cardigan, Mrs. Watson came and said, "Ma'am, you really should get
some sleep."
Irene finally got up and when she returned inside the room, she saw the screen of her phone flashing.
She picked it up and saw that it was a text from Issac.
