Chapter 587
Isaac could tell that Irene was venting her frustrations at him.
However, he could not tell her that Ricky had been captured by Debbie so that she would not have to worry.
And yet, Debbie herself had sought out Irene to tell her just that, while also demanding that she get a lover.
How was he supposed to abide with that?
"1'11 find Ricky as soon as I can."
Irene restrained her temper just then-things were hard for Isaac right now as well.
"Debbie knows your methods after working for you over the years. She won't let you find Ricky so easily-not after
she's burned all bridges. Be prepared and wary, because I'm worried that she’d have other cards aside from Ricky
and Tommy. Try to get her to talk the next time she's with you."
Looking up and into his eyes just then, Irene murmured, "I just hope that this will be over soon."
"Yeah," Isaac replied. "I know."

He had sent his people out to look, after all.
"I have to go now," Irene said, not wanting further trouble.
Isaac caught her wrist. "I'm sorry."
None of this would have happened if one of his closest confidants had not betrayed him.
Irene did not complain, however, since it would not change anything-all they could do was to turn things around.
Her lips twitched, but she kept her silence.
Isaac squeezed her hand in turn, his face appearing pale as he tried to speak.
Silence ensued between them.
Over at the hospital, Peter Lindt woke up and tried to sit up when he opened his eyes to see his wife and daughter.
Shirley Lindt quickly went up to help him, asking, "You were just fine in the morning. What happened?"
Peter was silent for a while before saying, "Tim Goldman is trying to screw me over."
Shirley was actually confused.
Ember Lindt sat on his bed, watching him as she asked, "Dad, what happened? You have to tell US."

Peter scowled. "Tim Goldman somehow managed to get dirt on US. He knows everything: from the equipment not
up to regulation that caused the fire, to the lack of proper fire prevention measures that led to multiple deaths. I
had to bribe the people reviewing the incident to alter their findings and pin the blame on the deceased's
negligence, so that we didn't have to pay much damages or assume a heavy responsibility... and now, Tim Goldman
is using it against me as leverage."
"We can just look for the troubleshooter before..."
Peter cut his wife short before she could finish. "He's retired."

"I can ask Zachary for help," Ember said then.
"No." Peter leveled a stern look at his daughter. "If he knows, he would use it as leverage to threaten US too."
"But he's now on our side, isn't he?" Ember pointed out. "He came home and he's been good to me. Also, didn't he
apologize about what happened last time?"
Even so, Peter did not fully believe in Zachary, and was still wary toward him.
He would not ask for Zachary's help unless he was absolutely desperate.
As such, he told Ember, "Don't tell him. Understand?"
Ember nodded tamely, but her phone suddenly rang.
She took it out and saw that it was a news notification.
She did a double take when she saw the title, and tapped on it.
It was exactly what her father had just said!
How did it make the news?!
"Dad, this is bad," Ember said as she showed it to Peter, knowing that there was no hiding it now. "Someone posted
about it online, and it's now making headlines."
