Chapter 428

What was that?

lan frowned-it felt sharp as it dug into his skin.

Irene was glaring at him calmly. “A little push, and you will be in a world of pain.”

The temple is a vital spot for humans as it is a node where various nerves are connected, and any trauma leaves the victim vulnerable to injury.

Irene did not have time to prepare when she came and could not bring anything lethal. All she had was the key she grabbed from a table-but even if she could not kill lan, she could threaten him.

lan, however, did not think that she would hurt him. “Don’t forget that I have your mother and child. Hurt me, and they die.”

“Take me to them,” Irene demanded. “And I promise I won't hurt you.” “No.” lan stared at her sideways. “But if you hurt me, they die.”

To no surprise, she did not dare to get rough with him—not when her baby had not been rescued.

Taking her hand off himself, he chuckled when he finally saw what she was holding. “A key? You threatened me with that?"

Irene held his gaze, and repeated, “You have me already. Let them go.” “No. I. Won't." He breathed—it was his leverage against her and Isaac. He would die before he spared them. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Furious, Irene lunged at him again, ready to go down with him!

This time, however, lan easily caught her wrist. “Now, now. You shouldn't glare at me like that, or blame me at all. Blame myself for being the idiot who fell for Isaac Jefferson, and got caught in my line of fire.” The car stopped beside a riverside dock. Weeds had grown all over the path leading to it, cutting off all access.

lan whipped out his phone, saying, “Isaac should have returned to town by now, don't you think?" He dialed Isaac's number, and it was answered soon enough!

Isaac had taken a private jet on the trip back to Cloud City instead of an airliner, and his plane had just landed when he received lan’s call.

“I have your wife, your son, and your mother-in-law. Give me Remy if you want to save them.”

lan had actually found out about Remy, and was stunned when he found out-to think that Isaac had already laid out his exit plan years ago.

Though he must concede that Isaac had vision and the will to act, most of Remy's assets were Light Group's, and he would take them all back! Naturally, he had been lying to Irene when he told her that he did not care—his mother's one wish was that he lived level, arid to stand atop of Light Group. That was why he would take back what was rightfully his so that his mother’s soul could find solace!

Isaac's response, however, was ice cold.

“I can have any woman I want, and they'd be falling over themselves to bear me children... As for a mother -in-law, do you think I care?”

lan was actually stunned by his indifference.

He knew that Isaac could be ruthless, but not this ruthless!

Still, he turned on his phone's speaker so that Irene could hear, and said, “I know you're lying. You care about Irene Spencer, or you wouldn't have kept her around you for so long.”

Meanwhile, Isaac had gotten into a car that was heading straight to Spencer Mansion.

His expression was cool, and there was a sharp glare in his eyes.

As he loosened his collar, he remained perfectly aware that the more he cared about Irene, the more lan would threaten him with her safety. Hence, he feigned nonchalance and laughed. “You're really behind the times, aren't you?"

“What are you talking about?” lan was convinced he knew everything there is to know about Isaac, from the people he cared about to all his vital personnel.

“Did you even know that Irene Spencer and I split up already?”

lan did not believe him. “Trying to trick me? Did you think I'm that stupid?”

Sk around if you don’t believe me. She killed my mother, y’know—did you think I can love my mother’s murderer?”

lan saw the brief flinch in Irene’s eyes.

He actually did hear about Yvaine Lynd, and had been astonished for a while when he found out that his aunt was alive... only to die for some reason afterwards.

And it turned out that Irene had killed her?!
