Chapter 570

Irene raised a hand, gesturing at Ricky to stop talking.

She needed to calm down.

Ricky helped her to a chair, finally realizing that something was wrong. "Did something happen to the baby?"

Irene’s eyelashes were already damp without her knowing it and she rasped, "Don't tell my mom."

Ricky nodded somberly. "Got it... But what happened?”

"We think that our baby has been abducted."

At least, Irene hoped so-because that meant that her child was still alive.

And as long as the child was alive, they would find the child eventually. They would see the child again.

As Ricky stayed silent for a long while, Irene was able to calm down. “Is there anything I can do?" Ricky asked.

Irene held his gaze. "Actually, yes."

"Alright, shoot.’ Ricky's expression turned serious-no longer the half- baked kid from before.

Tell me about the driver Debbie hired. Where is he now?"

"Dead."

"What?!" Irene exclaimed, and soon realized something. "Did Debbie do that too?"

'I'm not sure. After the accident, the cops intervened and decided that it was a malfunction with the dump truck, so the driver was released soon after. I was going to catch him to have a stronger leverage against Debbie, but he suddenly died of a heart attack-no one knows if it's real either, since they buried him quickly.”

“If it's Debbie again, it just goes to show how ruthless she can be. We have to watch out for her," Irene said.

Ricky shrugged. "Just tell Isaac to fire her."

However, Irene knew that it would never be that simple-if she did that, she would have nothing holding Debbie back, and Debbie would really be capable of anything!

"Do you know why Debbie wanted James dead?" Irene asked then. "Did James find out about some secret of hers?"

“I'm not sure," Ricky said and whipped out his phone. "But it's not that hard to be rid of her, right? Here-records of my conversation with her. It's evidence that she planned James's accident.”

Irene thought that the text messages certainly did, but it was more ideal to keep her behind bars permanently, and that would require other evidence of her crimes.

"Could you try to get close to the driver's family? Find out if it really was a heart attack...”

"Actually, I think it would be better to keep her around,” Ricky said, and explained his idea. "The Lindts and the Slates might be responsible for Lulu's disappearance. I have no evidence, but I could use Debbie to goad Zachary so that he takes revenge on Ember. After all, I messed up their marriage already, and a divorce might soon happen.”

Irene was left staring at him. "You've only got leverage against her by chance. Even if you can threaten her, she's no pushover-you would know since you saw what she did to James."

Moreover, Debbie and James had been working together for so long, but she was still ready to kill him.

It just went to show how heinous she was.

"You have to be careful,” Irene reminded Ricky.

“I know," Ricky said. "I guess I should step out now?"

Ireme nodded, and after Ricky closed the door behind him, she sat in her chair for a long while.

Her head was buzzing and she rubbed her temples.

When she felt that she had recovered enough, she pushed herself up and noticed the notebook on the desk.

She walked over and picked it up, and noticed that it was covered in Isaac's handwriting.

He kept a diary? Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Was that not a little childish, even out of character for him?

She was curious, and started reading... and found that it was not a diary, just some notes about work.
