Eagle replied, "No, I made sure to pull my punches.’

"Then why is he still there?" Irene asked.

"I think his leg must have broken when I threw him, so he can't walk."

Irene was left perplexed by Eagle's response.

Seth could not move because of a broken leg? He must be kidding!

"Why didn't he call somebody to help him? Why is he still lying there?"

"He can't talk, so it would be pointless to call anyone. And no one would touch him with me around."

Irene was speechless, while Isaac suddenly said, "Not bad."

He certainly did not forget that Irene had a crush on Seth before, and was naturally feeling schadenfreude from the

situation!

"Thank you, Mr. Jefferson."

Eagle's stern visage did not twitch as he replied respectfully.

Irene was once again speechless. "Call an ambulance. He'll affect passersby if he stays there.’

"Yes, ma'am," Eagle replied, while Isaac drove off.

Eagle soon called an ambulance and followed it in his car.

"Let's eat out with Tommy and visit the amusement park," Isaac said.

"Okay," Irene nodded, and leaned on his shoulder. "Honestly, we're both sub-par parents."

"I'll do my best from now on," Isaac said.

"Me too,’ Irene replied.

They headed home and took Tommy out, who was beside himself with joy.

He leaned into Irene's arms, his little feet dangling in the air, ’ Mommy, I want to ride a train and have an ice-

cream."

Irene patted his little head and said lovingly, "Okay."

It was as if men got smarter after a break-up.

Zachary Slate's company was expanding into many new businesses after Lulu Adams left the city.

In fact, he was now in New Kent, a city almost a thousand miles away to discuss a new project.

It was a mountainous area, and he was discussing a tourism project with a local developer.

He also needed to survey the area to see if it had the potential.

A location's reputation depends on the marketing, and developers were reportedly interested in constructing a

suspension bridge built on the highest sea level within the country.

The hype alone was enough to gain attention, although the initial investment capital was high and construction

would take upto three years.

Zachary counted as an external investor, and the developers were naturally interested in signing him up too.

However, it was not a small sum and Zachary wanted further surveys.

Worried that he would bail, the local developers held a nice dinner for him in the evening-people always ease up

after a couple drinks.

And after a few rounds, Walter Cash said, "We're grateful you traveled all the way here, Mr. Slate. You've seen the

site yourself, so what do you think?"

"You still owe me reports," Zachary said.

"No problem, as long as you're willing to invest,’ Walter said, refilling his glass while leaning closer to whisper into

his ear, "It's not just the mountains that are beautiful around here... our ladies are too."

Zachary became drunk with that glass and started to wobble to his feet. "Time to go."

"I'll get someone to escort you," Walter said and beckoned outside.

A pretty young girl entered, and Walter gestured for her to go with Zachary, and the girl compliantly did so.

His head muddled, Zachary blurted, "Lulu..."

The girl missed it, but she said, "Get in.'

Zachary stared at her then, seeing double images and then somehow taking her for Lulu.

His cool gaze turned heated abruptly. "Is that you, Lulu? Is that really you?"
