Chapter 132

Stan was utterly dumbstruck.

Really? Was she going that far?

Did she really have no will to live, throwing herself into the ocean?“Find her-even if she’s dead,” Isaac growled just then.

He wanted a body even if she was really dead!

Stan promptly left and ordered the men to put on their gear for a searcheffort.

Meanwhile, Chad buried his head under his palms. He was still in lovewith Whitney-he would not have challenged Isaac's wrath to rescue herfrom prison otherwise.

“You're a murderer, Isaac Jefferson!” he bellowed in rage.

Isaac's expression was icy, but he did not even glance at Chad.

On the other hand, Stan snorted at Chad, knowing that he was messingwith the wrong man. Who murdered her again? She jumped into thesea on her own! Hell, we're going down right now to save her!”-Chad's face went red from frustration. “That's not true and you knowit!”

“But it is the truth,” Stan said, shrugging at him with a look that basicallysaid “what can you -do-about-that?"

Chad almost could die from sheer rage right then!

After over an hour, the recovery team returned to the boat. “Sorry, wecouldn't replace her. It's already difficult to launch a search in the middle ofthe sea, and in the darkness of the night.”

Chad leaned against the scaffolding and looked out at the borderlesssea.

Land was not in sight, and only the moon's glow flashed a crystallinereflection off the surface.

Anyone falling into these waters in the middle of the night would eitherdrown, freeze to death, or be eaten by sharks.

“Whitney...” Chad started to bawl in heartbreak.

Stan was pursing his lips. Had this man never seen another woman?Was Whitney worth mourning over?

However, Chad had done nothing wrong-he had simply fallen in love,and she was worth the world to her even if no one else agreed.

He loved her, and that was all that mattered.

It was mostly the same principle with Isaac, being in love with Irene...Reasons? He loved her, and that was reason enough!

“What should we do, sir?” Stan asked Isaac softly then.

There was no way they could keep searching. They were in the middleof the sea and it was nighttime, and the divers would be exposed toserious danger.

Isaac mused to himself for a while and said, “Stay on the boat. Watchthem for the night.”

That was in case Whitney survived by chance and returned to Chad'sboat after they left.

“Understood, sir,” Stan replied.

At the mansion, Irene was waiting for Isaac's return after he left-to tellhim what she wanted to say before: that she had managed to save oneof her twins, and delivered it safely.

As she waited, she contacted Sheryl on video call and checked on herson, who was beaming happily.

“Did something good happen over there, Irene?” Lulu asked from theother end.

“I guess,” Irene replied-she was relieved to be able to come clean withIsaac.

“By the way, I might be making a trip to Cloud City soon, Irene,” Lulusaid then.

Before Irene could ask if it had anything to do with Zachary, Lulu toldher, “It's work.”

Irene thought that she could be honest with Zachary too, but shesighed feebly since she should not interfere. Composing herself andsmiling, she said, “Let's meet up when you arrive.

“Actually, I don’t think we can,” Lulu said. “I'm coming with my team.”Irene thought nothing of it. “I'll meet up with you even if you can't maketime.”

“Okay.” Lulu smiled.

“Boo-hoo” Tommy suddenly bawled.

Irene asked worriedly, “What's wrong, Tommy?"

“Oh, he’s either hungry or he’s just pooped,” Sheryl said then.
