Chapter 1002

Stan said, "It's me, Mrs. Jefferson."

Irene's eyes lowered slightly and said flatly, "Yeah."

"The crisis is over for now," Stan continued. "You can move back to the castle.”

The mastermind, Hector, had been deported back to Zidonia and would be sentenced to death in no time at all

since he was responsible for a handful of deaths.

"Okay," Irene replied and quickly asked about Isaac. "Did the doctors say when he'll be better?”

Stan was silent for a while before answering, "The doctor said soon."

Irene did not even need to guess-while Stan paused, he was actually asking Isaac what to say.

"Stan, is he hiding something from me?" she asked then with a threatening edge in her voice.

Stan was speechless.

He felt so awkward being caught in the middle!

He certainly would not dare to speak out of turn where Isaac was concerned, but that meant he had trouble

answering Irene too.

If he said something wrong, he would have to suffer Isaac's abuse.

He then thought to himself that it would be nice if James were there to take over this for him.

However, he knew that that was impossible, since it would take James a long while to recover from the injuries he

sustained.

And while he did, he would be working alone for Isaac.

The very thought left him feeling stressed.

Nonetheless, he chuckled. "I'd never lie to you. Don't worry-Mr. Jefferson is really getting better."

"Then where is he?" Irene asked.

"He's having an eye examination," he replied, and he was not lying-the doctors had just come to take him away for

a test.

'Take good care of him," Irene told him.

Stan was the only one around Isaac, and she knew Stan was hardly as competent as James-she would be relieved if

James was there with Isaac.

Hanging up and putting away her phone, Tommy stared at her. ’Mommy."

"Yeah?" Irene asked, looking up.

"Let's go visit Daddy, okay?" he said, blinking his large, innocent eyes.

Irene held his gaze for a while. "You just don't want to study, do you?"

Tommy was speechless, realizing that he was exposed again.

Irene said sternly, "Don't even think about it."

Moreover, she would not go because Isaac told her not to.

She knew that he must be stressed with this condition, and she would wait quietly for him to return after making a

full recovery.

On the other hand, since Tommy could not say anything, he was forced to study like a good boy.

During dinner, Irene asked Mrs. Watson as she did not see Zachary at the dining table.

Mrs. Watson told Irene she did not see him, and Irene whipped out her phone to call him.

Though the call got through, no one was answering.

She frowned coolly and put away her phone.

Finishing her soup, she picked up her baby from Sheryl and played with him in the living room, intending on waiting

for him to come back and tell him that they could move back to the castle.

After all, staying here for too long was inconvenient since they had too many people around.

However, as Zachary had yet to return even past 9 PM, she called him again.

Still, no one answered, and she frowned.

Where did he go? It was already very late, but she's not returning at all... Did something happen to him?

She could not be blamed for worrying, since too much had happened lately.

Unable to stop herself from getting paranoid, she decided that she was worried and called Zachary again.

After a while, her call was finally answered, and Irene immediately asked," Where were you Zachary? Why aren't

my calls getting through?" "Who are you?"

Irene froze-it was a woman's voice!
