Chapter 507

The call just happened to be from Zachary.

Isaac raised a brow when he saw the name on the screen, seemingly expecting it.

Speak of the devil indeed.

’I need a favor," the voice from the other end said.

'I'm at the Elegant Dawn. Get over here."

The person on the other end was silent for a moment, before saying, "Okay."

With that, Isaac put away his phone and turned toward Irene. "He'll be here soon. You can talk to him here."

He told Zachary to come over so that Irene did not have to make a trip.

Irene nodded.

After half an hour, Zachary arrived and he was led to the private booth by a host.

"Isaac-"

He was going to speak with Isaac immediately, but froze completely when he saw the person beside him.

He thought he was seeing things.

He rubbed his eyes and looked again, but she was still there.

"Irene?" he called out tentatively, but soon decided that he must be mistaken-lrene was dead and they even saw

her corpse.

How could she still be alive?

Did Isaac miss her so much he got himself a woman who looked just like her?

Pulling out a chair and sitting, he asked, "Where did you find this lady, Isaac? She looks just like Irene- "

Irene gave him a look, i'm not dead."

Zachary sprang to his feet again from shock, disbelief registering all over his face.

"It's a long story." Irene did not want to go into detail, since it was between her and Isaac. "I have a question-did

Lulu really cause Ember Lindt's miscarriage?"

Zachary was not at all surprised that she asked that, since she and Lulu were close.

Still, he lowered his gaze at the mention of Lulu. "Yes."

Irene clenched on her fork. "And you believe Ember?"

"I saw her push Ember with my own eyes," Zachary said.

Even so, disappointment showed in Irene's eyes-even if he saw it, that did not mean it was true.

Moreover, she would never believe that Lulu would do something like that.

Because she would never stoop so low!

But if Zachary did not believe her either, how sad and disappointed would she be?

'We can discuss this further when I see Lulu again." Her tone was clearly cold-things would become clear when she

met Lulu.

"I don't think you will," Zachary said unhappily just then. "I'm looking for her too-l'm actually here to ask for Isaac's

help to find out where she's hiding, actually."

"Hiding?" Irene frowned-she did not like that word, because the Lulu she knew would never hide despite such a

predicament.

And since Zachary used the term, it goes to show that he never knew Lulu despite the years they spent together. It

was more or less tragically disappointing, considering that they had known each other since medical school.

Still, Irene did not jump to conclusions.

"I'll find her and get to the bottom of this," she said, and turned back to her food without looking at Zachary-even

though it was a lot less appetizing now.

"Tell me right away when you find her," Zachary said.

Irene fed herself a spoonful of caviar, keeping her eyes lowered as she chewed slowly.

"Why would you want to see her? To interrogate her?"

"No, I'm just worried-"

"Why pretend to care? You believe that she pushed Ember.’

"What do you mean pretend?" Zachary heaved. "I lost my child, and I watched as she pushed Ember off the stairs and

caused her miscarriage. But I never blamed her, and was actually worried when she suddenly went into hiding. How am I

the bad guy here? Because I'm searching for her? Haven't I done enough?!'

Irene simply looked on as he argued his case vindictively, but did not argue.

All she had was her words, and Zachary would never believe whatever she had to say.

However, she would find out how Ember 'fell'.

"Eat," she said flatly.

"No," Zachary got to her feet and left.

He was certainly upset-his child was gone, and although he never blamed Lulu, Irene was insistent that it was his fault.

Who would understand his woes?

Back at the private booth, Isaac had a guilty look on his face.

"Irene...?"
