Chapter 212 Henry’s eyes widened in shock, and he asked unsteadily, “H–How did you know?

Isaac’s expression was as cold as ice. “Who was it?”

“I–I don’t know,” Henry blurted, and reached out to hold his grandson’s arm “Calm down, the child will

be fine-”

“When did you find out, Grandfather?” Isaac demanded icily, knocking his hand away right then

Henry was taken aback. “Isaac…”

“Grandfather, you know how my parents died and why I almost drowned. I’ve been restraining myself

not because I have forgotten, but because no parent should bury their child You can’t blame me for

being heartless if they hurt my child.”

With that, Isaac turned around, leaving the manor and studying outside, instructing Stan as he walked.

“I want to know everything happening over there.”

“Yes, sir.” There was a grave look on Stan’s face, but he quickly left to carry out his orders.

“Isaac…” Henry was murmuring back in the manor.

He certainly did not want to see his own family destroying each other while he was still alive

His hand trembled as he asked, “Moneypenny, do you think lan took the child?”

“Maybe not,” Moneypenny said.

Henry, however, knew–he just did not want to admit it.

“No, it must be him. He saw us when we were carrying out that paternity test on the child at the

hospital, and we never could have hidden from him once he suspected it. He also visited us that night,

and the child soon disappeared after–who else could it be but him?”

“You’re overthinking this, sir,” Moneypenny tried to assure him.

Henry wobbled, unable to stand and needing his butler’s help.

“I don’t think I can protect them now,” Henry quietly said.

Moneypenny, however, believed that Henry had done all he could “Sir, they have been relentless, and

I’ve even heard that Quincy Moore tried to kill Master Isaac on the day of his wedding. He did not

retaliate, however, because he was being considerate to you.”

“While you believed that they would not go that far if you gave them some of Light Group’s shares, they

clearly wanted everything. You’ve been defending them for far too long, and you’ve also done

everything you can to stop Master Isaac from seeking vengeance. The marriage, the bride you chose

for him… Things may not have played out ideally, but you’ve done your best.”

*But now, they deserve whatever is coming to them.”

Quincy was the one who started the whole mess, and Henry knew it.

Even so, they were all his family, and it hurt him to lose anyone.

“Sigh..”

“You’re not that young now, sir. It is time to let go,” Moneypenny told him.

It was true–as he aged, Henry’s health was a shadow of what it was

“Oh, let them do whatever they want,” he sighed, feeling endlessly helpless and lonely just then.

When Irene was released, she was informed that Harvey had returned to Sunny City, and had to wait

despite her anxiousness.

She returned to the Spencer Mansion to assure Sheryl she was fine, and found out that Ricky had

done what she asked perfectly.

She was relieved to have Ricky keeping an eye on Spencer Holdings, while she placed all attention on

her child.

She returned to Isaac’s mansion as well, telling Mrs. Watson to call her immediately when Isaac

returned.

In fact, she had been making several trips to Light Group, repeatedly asking if Isaac had returned.

It was during one such trip that she saw Isaac’s car, and quickly ran up to it.

“Isaac Jefferson-”

Isaac stopped the car and alighted, but Irene ran straight to his car to look inside.

Finding no sign of Tommy, she frowned and asked, “Where’s my baby?”

Isaac appeared nonchalant. “I’m having a friend babysit-”

“What do you mean, babysit?!” Irene had grabbed him by the collar before he could finish.

He was too tall for her to look him in the eye, and had to stand on her toes even if Isaac leaned

downward to help. “You’re talking about your own baby!“
