Chapter 608

Debbie was not going to die so soon, but while she was being locked in the coffin with a corpse, her heart might

stop from sheer terror before she bled out!

Even if she survived that, being forced to stay in such a compact space with a corpse was sheer torment!

The reason Isaac did not set the fire right away was to make her taste despair!

After leaving the mansion, Isaac headed to the hotel to take a bath and change his clothes.

He was not supposed to meet Irene after being to such a terrible place, which was why he had to scrub off the

foulness he felt had latched on to him!

An hour later, he headed to the mansion he arranged for Irene.

Tommy was asleep after taking his medicine, and Irene was drinking the soup Mrs. Watson made her at the dining

table.

Mrs. Watson was sad to see her burn the candles on both ends, and now that Tommy recovered, everyone was

relieved, just as Irene could take the time to get some proper rest!

Sheryl was tidying Tommy's clothes on the couch and appeared puzzled when she heard the doorbell.

"Who is it?" she asked, since no one other than them had been here since they moved here.

Irene was there with them as well, so the doorbell was rather abrupt.

"Could you get the door, Mom?" Irene said, thinking that it was Isaac since he would have been done with Debbie by

now.

Sheryl did so, but her face fell the instant she saw that it was Isaac, snapping, "Oh, what a rare occasion! I wonder

what could have possibly brought you here?"

Sheryl had been content and respectful toward Isaac as her son-in-law before, but she was naturally hostile now.

After all, Debbie had chased them out of their house while Tommy was still sick, even flexing her status as Isaac's

new fiancee in their faces.

Would she have been able to do that without Isaac's own approval? Sheryl certainly held a bitter grudge for that!

"What are you doing here? Aren't you getting married soon?" she kept mocking him.

Isaac frowned and tried to look inside to find Irene, but she was at the dining room with her soup.

Did Irene even explain what had happened to Sheryl?

However, Sheryl saw what he did and moved to stop him from looking." What are you looking at? Leave, or I'll start

yelling!"

"Hold on-"

"Stop, I don't even know you," Sheryl cut him short. "Leave right now-no one wants to see you. Oh, and Irene and I

agreed that we will have Tommy be named Ike Spencer instead of Jefferson. You did dump him, but even if you

don't care about him anymore, we do."

"Wait, did you come to laugh at us? I'm sorry, but we're doing very well right now, so just buzz off getting married

instead of wasting your time here."

Irene had been watching with glee just then, and finally put away her bowl as she went to them.

Isaac thought that she would help explain things to Sheryl, only for her to add fuel to the fire.

"That's right. Aren't you getting married? What are you doing here?"

Isaac was speechless, and Sheryl shut the door in his face, not wanting Irene to be hurt.

Irene was actually stunned-she wanted to mess with Isaac a little, but Sheryl went too far.

"Mom-"

Sheryl cut her short before she could explain, taking her hands as she said, "Listen, Irene-you were fooled once, so

don't get fooled again. Get it? Now get some rest."

Then, as Sheryl pulled Irene along to her bedroom, she warned Irene, "You can't afford to be soft with men, or

they'll bully you. I lived through that once, and I don't want you to go through it as well."

Irene sat on her bed.

Even if Isaac was not sincere about his engagement with Debbie, she was one of his confidants, and her betrayal

caused this whole mess.

He was certainly responsible for Tommy having to suffer so much.

Still, she decided to let him have it for the day-she could just explain what happened to Sheryl tomorrow.

Smiling slyly at Sheryl, she said, "Mom, keep giving him an earful if he comes again."

"Of course," Sheryl replied.

With that Irene closed her eyes-she had certainly been exhausted and fell asleep soon enough.

The skies darkened when she groggily became aware that something was weighing down on her, almost

suffocating her.

"Urgh..."

She slowly opened her eyes!
