Chapter 339

Isaac was quite irked.

“Yeah,” he grunted coolly and left.

And the instant he was gone, Irene’s face fell.

She breathed a long sigh and told herself not to be petty—it was not worth it.

Even so, it felt like she had something stuck in her heart, and she could not stop herself from imagining what the other woman was like.

Was she beautiful?

Did she stand out of the crowd?

Were they innocent playmates? Childhood friends? A match made in heaven?

Why else was Isaac unable to forget about her?

Messy thoughts poured into her mind like an endless spring. She shook her head firmly to stop herself from imagining it, and started reading a medical textbook to calm herself.

Unsurprisingly, her thoughts were soon completely drawn to the contents of the book, and the hours ticked past before she knew it. Meanwhile, the situation at Light Group was taking a turn for the worse, with lan being remanded for investigation while things appeared bleak in the company.

Everyone else was speculating if this would lead to their bankruptcy. For Henry, his concern to save face was now moot as his entire family was humiliated, with no ounce of dignity left to speak of.

The evidence implicating Quincy's murder of Kathy was concrete-her trial was merely a formality. As such, Henry was not going to bother helping her, not to mention that she attempted to murder Greg as well. From that point alone, Henry was already being merciful in refraining from making things harder for her. Still, it was only because Greg survived that Henry did not get involved.

That being said, her doom was her just deserts—especially when she was not a Jefferson.

On the other hand, Henry could not afford to neglect lan, whose fate was now bound to Light Group. As Eastdawn was defaulting on a debt well worth over a billion, lan must take up 80% of said debt because. he owned the exact amount of shares of the company.

Once the concerned departments finished their investigation, all of lan's assets would be confiscated or shut down, including Light Group.

As things stood now, Henry's only way out was to ask Isaac for help. Still, even if Isaac had not shown up for a while now, he could teli that Isaac was the one behind everything Quincy did-if she was able to tell, he certainly could too.

But with his dynasty on the brink of collapse, he had to put aside his pride.

However, when he tried to contact Isaac, he could not reach his grandson at all.

It seemed that Isaac might have predicted that and turned off his cellphone.

Not bothered to get involved no matter how lively things were getting out there, he stayed at home, peacefully tending to his son as if none of it concerned him.

Having no other choice, Henry sent Moneypenny to check every property Isaac has, while he visited Greg.

Although Greg survived, his heart had stopped for a while, and oxygen deprivation caused permanent nerve damage, leaving him crippled from the waist down.

“Where is that bitch now?” he growled the instant he woke up, unable to accept that he was now paraplegic.

Henry seemed to have aged a decade, his hair now completely white and his gaze unfocused. “The cops took her Isaac has her exactly where he wants.”

Greg was not having any of that, and started ranting endlessly about Quincy.

Not bothered to listen, Henry pushed himself up with his cane and slowly left. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

It felt like his body started to fall apart overnight, and he was now hanging by a thread.

Irene just happened to be doing rounds with Stephen, and was stepping out of a ward when she spotted Henry.

She did not greet him, instead following Stephen as they continued visiting other patients.

However, Henry saw her!

“trene Spencer!”
