Chapter 760
Sheryl said, "Look, Isaac is not your average business owner. He needs a wife at home to keep an eye on things
while he works. I know that he wants the best for the family, even suggesting that we go to Franconia with Tommy,
since he already had a house and arranged for servants there. We'd be able to settle down quickly while his work
would become more convenient... he never mentioned that again because of you, you know."
Irene had never heard Isaac mention that before.
She only found out he wanted to move to Franconia today-when they were arguing.
Lowering her eyes, she murmured, "So that’s why..." 'But the richer and more powerful he is, the less reason you
have to deny your own self," Sheryl told her.
She still supported Irene's work, and she would take care of Irene's children.

children with him. There's all the pretty young women one would need out there, so I don't want you to have
nothing to fall back on like me. Get it?"
Sheryl was being earnestly considerate for her daughter after her husband betrayed her—it was better to be safe
than sorry.
Patting Irene on the shoulder, Sheryl said, 'Til talk to him for you." "What about?" Irene became nervous right then-
she did not want Sheryl to meddle in her argument with Isaac, which would complicate things.
"Don't worry. I know what to say," Sheryl replied. "Now, eat. If you're sick, you'd have to stay home for real."
Irene pursed her lips. "Thanks, Mom." "Don't thank me-l'm your mom. I'm always on your side whenever,
wherever," Sheryl said, breathing a long sigh. "I won't go that far if it were an average Joe you married, but that's
not who your husband is. That's why we have to be careful, and of course I hope you'll always be happy, and not
suffer like I did." "Mom..." Irene did not want her to mention the past.
Sheryl simply smiled. "I stick by what I said."
Overwhelmed, Irene decided to send her off. "You should go home, Mom." "Of course. Now eat, there's soup
underneath too," Sheryl said.
"I will," Irene replied.
"And do come home earlier." "Okay."
Sheryl was worried that Mrs. Watson alone would not be able to care for both children.
Sheryl could not find Tommy when she reached home.
The boy liked to play in the living room.
The other possibility was his baby brother's room.
Mrs. Watson was caring for the baby, so Sheryl asked her.

Sheryl nodded, but did not go there.
Tommy would not go to the study alone-it probably meant that Isaac was home.
In the study, Isaac was standing in front of the glass wall.
Thick curtains dangled at each of this side, while the glass that was wiped squeaky clean was clear and transparent.
"Find out if anyone came into this city over the last two months, see if the people in the photos I sent are among
them, and whether they have been active here." "Of course, but this will take time since it's a lot of work." "It's fine.
Contact me as soon as you have something." "Of course."
Isaac hung up after a few more words.
The photos were screenshots from the security footage, the imaging being so advanced it recorded over 90% of
the goons' likeness.
However, they had no criminal record in Cloud City, which meant they were from elsewhere.
Even so, that was a lot of ground to cover and it would take a lot of time, but a clue was a clue!
"Papa."
A soft voice called out then, and Isaac turned around.
