Chapter 460

Harvey swore under his breath. There was really no escaping Isaac! Hurrying to Irene’s side to block her from view, he whispered to her, "That man is one of Isaac's people. He's here to poach talents from Mead Clinic."

Irene turned to find Mark standing nearby.

At the same time, Jeff called out to Irene. "Jane? Mr. Wickers is quite sincere in his offer. Why don't we sit down together?"

Harvey was left gaping in shock right then.

The person Isaac was trying to poach... was Irene?

What the hell?!

Still, Irene simply told Jeff, "Like I've said, I won't agree to it or even think about it."

With that, she pulled Harvey along.

Jeff naturally could not do anything about it, since he could not force Irene in this matter.

Turning to Mark, he said, "I've told her about your proposal, but she refused. IV

Mark was left feeling disappointed, but as he turned toward Jeff, his eyes lit up again. "Actually, I think you would work too..."

"Nope," Jeff quickly waved him off. "I can't do it."

"But..."

“No "buts!" Jeff refused him resolutely, leaving Mark despondent. Meanwhile, as Irene dragged Harvey along and left, Harvey stared at her for a while and asked, "Did you really manage to master Minervese so fluently in six months?"

He was left astounded just listening to her!

“I've already learned it earlier,” Irene answered casually.

Harvey was left speechless. "Alright, then what other languages have you learned?”

"Franconian, Eiseng, Mariachi,” Irene replied.

Harvey was actually stunned. "That many?"

“I had to," Irene explained.

"You had to? What?" Harvey was perplexed.

Remembering why Lionel Spencer had forced her to learn those foreign languages left Irene remembering Isaac, and her voice became quiet. "So that I would be more appealing to a certain man."

Harvey was speechless again. "... Who?"

Irene did not answer as she pulled him along to a diner, but Harvey kept pressing, "Wait, don't tell me it's Isaac?"

Irene gave him a look, and Harvey knew right then that the answer was a yes.

He could have died from jealousy right then!

Isaac Jefferson this, Isaac Jefferson that... There was just no escaping from that man!

Harvey really wanted to duel Isaac to death just to end his own misery! Meanwhile, he and Irene took their seats, with Irene asking, "What do you want to eat?"

Harvey was certainly not in the mood with his belly full of questions, so he said, "Anything is fine.”

As such, Irene ordered for both of them, and she had quite the appetite since she was pregnant.

While they waited for dinner, Harvey finally broke down and asked, "The baby..."

“It's Isaac's,” Irene admitted right away.

Isaac was the only man she had been with, and it would always stay that way-she would not fall for anyone else.

Harvey knew that and although he did not give up before, he did now. Heaving a lengthy sigh, he murmured, "Yeah, I was asking forthat.” After all, he knew the answer but asked her anyway.

Taking a moment to calm himself, he asked, "So, why did you fake your death? Why leave Isaac?"

Naturally, the last one was his greater concern-was she leaving him because she fell out of love?

'Nope," Irene answered shortly and took a sip from her glass. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Then, why?" Harvey was confused. "Could you be worried that he would get sick of you because of your disfigurement...?"

Irene could not deny that. "Well, I'd hate to let him see me as I am now."

If she was to leave any memory of herself in his heart, she would rather it be of her beauty, and not her gruesome burn scars.

"Does he know you're pregnant?" Harvey asked.

As Irene looked up at him, Harvey chuckled, “I won't push you if you don't want to tell me today..."

"Nope." Irene pursed her lips. "You have to keep that a secret.”

“You don't have to worry about that,” Harvey assured her.

He was just pitting himself against Isaac. There was no way Harvey would tell Isaac-not when he wanted to hide her from Isaac more than anyone else!

Let Isaac grieve her to death!

"Oh, right..."

Irene actually had something important to discuss, and took a document folder from her bag and passed it to him. "Check this out.” Harvey felt no suspicion at all and took it.

Still, he was shocked when he opened and read it.

"What the hell..."
