Chapter 129

“Divorce you?!"

Isaac's cheek was twitching as crimson fury flared in his eyes.

He really wanted to gouge her heart out and see what it was made of-how could she be so heinous?!

“No, you'll never get a divorce. Your soul belongs to me even if youdie!”

Irene felt like she could lose her mind just then.

She tried to give up on her spite and have a heart-to-heart talk withhim, but he was messing around with other women! She felt so stupidfor almost believing that he actually loved her! “Fine! I'll announce tothe world tomorrow that I'm your wife, and I cheated on you all the timewith different men, even getting pregnant! I'll make you get sick of me!”Isaac almost choked from that just then.

She was really killing him!

“Just try it!!!

“"You think I won't?!” Irene retorted with equal staunchness.

It was going nowhere, so Isaac took a deep breath to compose himself.“How could you be so callous?”

At the same time, Irene’s chest was heaving from sheer frustration. Didhe really just say that? When he had toyed with her feelings?!

And now he is acting like he cared again!

That was when they heard a knock on the front door, and Mrs. Watsoncalled out, “Mr. Jefferson? A Ms. York is asking for you.”

Irene turned towards the door. Ms. York?

On the other hand, Isaac frowned. He remembered telling Stan to getrid of her! Why was she showing up here now?

“Tell her to leave!” he barked coldly.

Kathy was actually at the door, and did not leave even though sheheard Isaac. “I am just here to deliver a document, sir.”

Isaac frowned, but Irene thought that he was still pretending.

He even had a hand on her waist, and now he was acting as if therewas nothing between them?

She really wanted to tell him that he would make a good actor just then!Deciding for him just then, she said, “Let her in, Mrs. Watson.”

Kathy entered the instant Mrs. Watson opened the door-it was obviousthat she had dolled herself up before coming, having changed intofresh clothes and putting on even more elaborate makeup.

Irene looked at her, and then herself-her clothes were wrinkled fromsitting on the couch, her hair was a mess and there was no makeup onher face at all.

Kathy was her polar opposite. It was as if every inch of her had beenworked on immaculately.

Judging from that alone, it was no coincidence that Isaac would desireher-she had what it took to seduce man.

Irene actually felt herself a mess before her.

Picking up her book, she told Isaac, “You need to talk about work,right? I'll stay upstairs-l won't impose.”

But even as she tried to make her escape, Isaac caught her wrist justas he walked past her.

He had the feeling that this was another of Stan's terrible ideas... butIrene was getting even more distant due to their misunderstanding, andhe did not like being around a woman he did not know.

In fact, it was annoying and even revolting.

“You're not imposing,” he said.

Irene leaned in to whisper into his ear then, “How are you going to copa feel when I'm around?”

There was no telling if she was mocking Isaac or being jealous, leavinghim a little speechless just then.

Lowering his gaze, he asked quietly, “Are you jealous?”

“Nope.” Irene naturally refused to admit it.

That was when Isaac suddenly had a thought. Was she being cold andcontemptible because she had seen him with Kathy and got upset?His gloomy mood eased considerably, and he smiled, “If you say so.”His reaction left Irene puzzled. Why is he being so volatile? She simplycould not get a read on him!

Meanwhile, Kathy was left standing there, feeling out of place.

Isaac was even acting as if she did not exist.

To draw their attention, she said, “Mr. Jefferson, the documents?”

“Put it on the table, and you can leave,” he said flatly.

“Of course,” she said evenly, and after she did so, she asked, “So, arewe going to the hotel today?”

Isaac's face darkened at her words!
