Chapter 489

Stephen was so nervous he barely managed a sentence. "W-What are you... doing in my house?"

"Give me your phone." Isaac held out his hand, but Stephen promptly held on tighter to it, even as fear showed in his

eyes.

Isaac gave one of his goons a look then. "Take it."

The man walked up and quickly wrestled the phone out from Stephen's grasp, then handed it to Isaac. "Sir."

The instant Isaac took it, he called out, "Irene."

He had no idea who it was on the other end, but he determined that it might be Irene because of Stephen's words and

his panicked reaction.

However, Irene had heard Isaac coming and quickly passed her phone to Jeff Cartman, who sharply answered, "What?

Who's Irene?"

Isaac's brow creased when he heard that it was a man. Did he get it wrong?

If that was the case, why was Stephen panicking so much when he saw him?

Hanging up, he kept his eyes on Stephen and asked sharply, "Tell me. Where's Irene now?"

Stephen feigned composure as he answered, "She's dead."

"It wasn't her-you were the one who operated on her, and you know very well how you managed to pull the switch

and send her away. Admit it, and I can be understanding... you can't blame me for anything that happens if you

refuse to talk."

Isaac was giving Stephen a chance to talk. Even if he sent Irene away, he did save her, and Isaac would still deny

that.

On the other hand, Stephen was sweating bullets.

Irene had just made a breakthrough in her career and it would be a shame if it ended because of Isaac.

Stephen himself wished that Irene could go further and help the nation's medical field grow as a whole.

As such, he lied. "I don't know what you're talking about."

Isaac's gaze darkened as his rage flared.

Stephen was still being stubborn after everything became so clear?!

"Take him away," Isaac growled icily.

"Who are you people? Where are you taking him?!" Stephen's wife rushed upto stop them. "You're breaking and

entering! This is a lawful society!"

Isaac's goons were certainly efficient, and simply shoved her aside.

Stephen got to his feet right then.

"I'll come with you. Don't hurt her," he said as he helped his wife up, before assuring her, "Don't worry-l'll be fine.

Just stay home for now."

With that, he turned toward Isaac while saying. "I don't believe he cant do anything to me."

Isaac simply turned away and strode outside. "Take him."

"You're not going to kill me," Stephen said staunchly, seemingly convinced that Isaac was just abducting him to

intimidate him.

Isaac did not respond, however, and simply took him to Blue Hill Asylum, showing him what had happened to Ian.

"You're breaking the law," Stephen said, but he was clearly a lot less staunch just then.

"Be honest, and I'll set you free. Refuse, and this will be your cruelty."

His words were utterly heinous, but Isaac spoke them with such calmness.

Anyone who was kept at an asylum and forced to face the loonies every day would eventually become crazy even if they

were sane, would they not?

"Mr. Jefferson." James arrived with every personnel who were involved in Irene's surgery, and leaned in to whisper into

Isaac's ear, "Robin Lynd was the one who texted you. She's Ian Jefferson's girlfriend, and she also blended in among the

asylum staff to contact Ian."

And Irene was alive...

Did Robin really know her whereabouts?

Why would she send him that text if he did not?

While Isaac pondered, someone ran toward him!
