Chapter 340

Irene pretended not to hear Henry calling her name, but Stephen turned around and gave her a look, asking, “Is

someone calling you?”

“Is that so?” She turned reluctantly toward Henry, who seemed to have aged a century in a day and appeared far

from spirited.

“Go on. You have ten minutes–we’re scrubbing up later,” Stephen told her.

Irene had no choice but to nod then. “I’ll be right back.”

She walked toward Henry, but did not even greet him.

He spoke before she could. “Take me to Isaac,”

He was very direct.

Irene frowned. If he wanted to see Isaac, why was he asking her to take him?

“As you can see, I’m working right now,” Irene said evenly.

Henry’s fingers clenched over his cane, even as he hid his anger behind his turbid gaze–because he had to. “Do you

think I’d ask you if I could see him whenever I wanted?”

Irene understood right then.

Isaac was refusing to see Henry, and in that case, why would she lead him to Isaac?

“I don’t know where he is,” she said.

Henry narrowed his eyes and grabbed her wrist, but he was too weak to make himself look intimidating. Irene easily

freed herself and flatly said, “I’m now Isaac’s wife, so I’m sure that if you touch me again and upset him, things

won’t end well for you.”

With that, she turned and left, leaving Henry standing there but unable to do anything to her.

He wanted to see Isaac so that he could ask for leniency toward lan and naturally did not dare to offend her, not to

mention that he had no leverage against Isaac.

Suddenly, he wobbled and started to lose his footing, but Moneypenny reached him just in time, catching him so

that he did not fall.

“Are you alright, sir?” Moneypenny asked in concern as he settled Henry on a bench.

“Have you found where he’s staying?” Henry simply growled.

“We’ve searched every house he owned but came up with nothing,” Monepenny answered. “He’s hiding

somewhere we don’t know.”

“How big is Cloud City? Do you think he vanished into thin air?!” Henry snapped in annoyance.

Moneypenny thought about it. “We could set a bait and wait for him to show up.

Henry did not get it. “Is there anything that could make him?”

“Quincy Moore,” Moneypenny replied. “She was the one who murdered Master Isaac’s parents and nearly killed him

too. There’s only bitterness between them, and with her trial being soon, he would definitely want to see her before

that.”

Henry thought about it. “Guess that’s our only option.”

With that, Moneypenny helped him to his car, and once inside, Monepenny said, “About Kathy York’s death

I’m sure Master Isaac used her to seduce Master Greg and drive a wedge between Quincy and Master Greg. But

that’s different from the Master Isaac I know, because he’d never use Kathy like a tool and then allow Quincy to

murder her.”

Henry snorted. “It’s nothing complicated. He must have found out that Kathy wasn’t the girl who saved him, and he

must be fuming after realizing that he had been tricked. There’s nothing to stop him from that point on, and he

must have used Quincy as well to remove Kathy. He’s only too happy since the murder charge on Quincy will

definitely stick.”

Moneypenny sighed. “We’ve made a mistake back then. We should never have turned against Master Isaac…”

Henry turned toward Moneypenny right then!
