Irene struggled, not eager to go with it ‘Mmph, Stop it. Isaac Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Isaac didn’t let her go, however, and instead kissed her even more fiercely

Unable to resist, trene tumed into jelly in his artis

After a long while, she finally gave up on reisting, he let go

Irene slowly looked up, crystalline tears lingering on her thick, curled eyelashes. “Why are you doing this?*

Her voice was hoarse and tearful

Even though she didn’t like to cry, she felt utterly miserable at the morment.

Isaac held her gaze. “Does it hurt? Your heart, I mean.

“What?”

*Couldn’t

you ask me if you have a question? Did you think I was cheating on you?”

Irene was stunned, her gaze watery just then. “H-How’d you know?”

Isaac did not answer, and instead asked, “Did you talk to Kathy?”

Irene shook her head. “No.”

“Really? Isaac was doubtful.

“You know I’m a doctor, and I have doctor friends,” she explained. “I’ve only checked her medical records.”

“And you thought it was me?”

Irene simply slipped out of his arms, picked up her phone from her table and showed him the photo. “See? I went there because of that. I had no trouble finding her, but I never spoke to her.”

Isaac did not take her phone, but a glance was enough.

“Is this why you suspected me?” he asked, despite knowing the answer.

Irene sat on the bed. “Wouldn’t you, if you were in my place?*

“Get dressed,” he growled.

Irene did not move. “Why? You didn’t explain anything.”

“Easier to show you,” he replied, and when she did not move, he added sternly, “Now.”

Irene did as she was told, after which Isaac took her to his office at Sky Group. headquarters.

Stan was already waiting, and appeared stunned to see Isaac arrive with Irene.

“Just tell us what happened,” Isaac said, putting a hand over Irene’s shoulder as they settled on the couch.

Stan glanced at Irene, and soon realized why Isaac brought her. Hence, he said carefully,” Kathy was meeting with Quincy Moore. We don’t know what they talked about, but I visited Kathy and managed to get everything out of her. She’s not siding with Quincy, and I don’t think she’s lying.”

With that, he took out his phone and played the recording of their conversation.

Stan was feigning concern as he visited Kathy, saying, “Hey, just checking in on you. I can. help you get discharged if you feel better. Mr. Jefferson also arranged a better position for you.”

Kathy appeared emotional and grateful, so Stan pressed his advantage, “Oh, right. The nurse told me that you left?”

“Yeah,” Kathy replied. “Quincy asked to meet me.”

“What did she tell you?” Stan asked with a smile.

“The first thing she asked was whether Isaac knew we’re meeting, and she became much. relaxed. She then told me that she took a photo of me and Isaac and sent it to Irene to drive them apart, and that she’d help me win over Isaac if I obeyed her. But, y’know, I’m not stupid-she took away my chastity. I’m not going to believe her ever again!”

Stan chimed in, “Of course. All men care about their ladies’ modesty.”

He deliberately twisted the dagger so that Kathy was reminded that Isaac would never fall for her, especially now that she was impure.

Naturally, whatever he said would make Kathy hate Quincy all the more.

Stan saw the fury and hate towards Quincy in Kathy’s eyes.

Back at the present, Irene came to a stunning realization.

Quincy had sent her that photo exactly to drive a wedge between her and Isaac.

Still, Irene had no idea how Kathy became involved with Quincy, so she asked, “What’s the story here?”

Isaac gave her hand a light squeeze. “Keep listening.”

As such, Irene had to stay patient and listened as Kathy spoke once more in the recording.
