Chapter 87

Irene was feeling uneasy. Somehow, she knew that Isaac would show up in Sunny City anyway.

“So, you‘re giving up?” she asked.

“No way!” Harvey was just getting pumped for a fight against Isaac. “The more

he wants to get to you, the more I‘ll make sure he never does… Nonetheless, he soon trailed off becau

se he just realized that Sheryl and Irene‘s son were gone.

“Where‘s your mother and the baby?” he asked.

“They left last night,” Irene replied–she did not plan to hide that anyway.

She had been compliant over the last few days at the mansion, and they had become very friendly with

the

guards. Moreover, Harvey was not keeping her as well guarded as he did before, which allowed her an

opening.

“Do you not trust me?” Harvey‘s face contorted in rage, feeling as if he was betrayed

after being so nice to her for months!

Irene held his gaze. “It‘s not as if I don‘t trust you, but Isaac is here, so I had to do something. What if y

ou‘d told him about me when you met him yesterday? I‘m fine if he catches me, but what if he hurts my

child?”

That was why she had asked Sheryl to take

the child away and hide. Even if they were friends in appearance, Irene had never thought so for a sec

ond–it was just tit–for–tat at best.

On the other hand, Harvey actually thought

that she considered him a friend now, and was naturally stunned that she had been keeping him at arm

‘s length.

“You‘re a heartless bitch!” he snapped in frustration, but even as his knuckles cracked, there was a cra

sh from the door, soon followed by objects shattering and screams of pain.

Panicking, Harvey rushed downstairs to see that Isaac and his men

had stormed into the mansion, having already taken down all the guards Harvey posted around the hou

se.

“How did you get here?” Harvey exclaimed in disbelief . He was basically untouchable in Sunny City, an

d was convinced that Isaac would never reach this place.

“Sure, this place is so well–

hidden we never got here last time,” Stan said smugly. “Hell, we would never

have found it this time even if you didn‘t lead us here.”

One must say that Isaac‘s plan to chase the hare and follow it to its den was immensely effective.

Harvey narrowed his eyes when he came to a realization.”

You were following me?”

Nonetheless, Isaac completely ignored him and led him upstairs.

Knowing that there was no escape, Irene tried regardless. She tied her bed sheels into a rope

to escape, but the door was kicked open just as she reached for the window.

Isaac glared at her murderously from the doorway.

“Going to jump?” He smiled. Go on.”

Irene froze at the window, knowing then that she was not getting away even if she jumped.

“No, I won‘t,” she mumbled as she got off the window sill.

Isaac kept his expression cool then, hiding his inconsolable rage. “What, afraid that you‘d fall to your de

ath?”

He strode toward her, and Irene felt terrified even as she watched him. “Don‘t come any closer…

“What are you afraid?” Isaac kept walking steadily toward her anyway, backing Irene against the wall.

Still, she still pretended to

be calm. “You signed the divorce papers, didn‘t you? There‘s nothing between us now, so please keep

your distance…”

Isaac laughed icily. “What are you talking about?”

Irene was still very ill because she had just delivered a

child yesterday. Even so, she forced herself to stand her ground. “Why can‘t you just let me go?!”

Isaac suddenly grabbed her neck, the darkness looking as if it could devour her even as his fingers cle

nched.” Because it hurts you.”

“Is that why you insist on staying married? Because you can tie me down?” She breathed through her t

hroat with much difficulty.

“Yes! I want you to beg for your death!” Isaac snarled, and pushed her out of the window. “Argh!”
