Chapter 190

Isaac looked up at Stan just then, but did not deny it!

As Stan came to a realization, he carefully suggested, “Sir, youshouldn't have rehired Kathy York in that case. Women are petty, andMs. Spencer must have been upset to see her around. That's not goingto work in a relationship.”

Isaac snorted. “A relationship? After she pushed me away to anotherwoman?”

Stan was stumped, but it was true—if Irene really was in love with Isaac,she would not be able to bear her man getting cozy with other women.People get territorial in relationships, after all. No one would be willingto share their partner if there is love involved!

“Well, if she’s not interested, you can just let her marry HarveyGooding. Nothing good comes out of coercion, and you're not going tokeep her confined for life, are you?”

Isaac's visage turned cold. “I will not let her be with another man even ifshe’s not interested.”

Stan was speechless.

Did he just basically say “if I can't have her, no one can?"

How much more unreasonable could he get?

While he actually felt sympathy for Irene, he also found her tactless.How lucky was she to have Isaac falling for her? And he had beentolerating her so much. How could she not see it?

“There's nothing about Harvey Gooding that's better than you. Whatdoes she see in him?” Stan asked in confusion.

“She's just blind.” Isaac snorted.

Stan blinked, but Isaac was right!

“Are you going to see her?” Stan asked.

“No. What time does the meeting start?” Isaac asked.

“Half—past one,” Stan replied.

“Go get ready,” Isaac said, his tone remaining flat and inscrutable.Once Stan stepped out of his office, Kathy had just arrived.

“Mr. Hill.” She smiled.

“Why are you here?” Stan asked.

“I'm looking for Isaac,” she said, still smiling pleasantly.

For some reason, Stan was uneasy whenever she said “Isaac.’ Hesomehow found her rather unreserved and danced on the edge ofslutty!

He found women like her who threw themselves at men unlikeable—they were unlikeable and had no charm at all.

The only reason Isaac did not kick her to the curb like other womenwas probably because of the silver crucifix.

He remembered that it was very precious to Isaac, but Isaac said thathe was returning it to the owner when he gave it to Kathy. If anything,his tolerance toward her was only thanks to that object.

He sighed Isaac usually steered clear of women, but there weresuddenly two in his life!

And it was clear that Kathy loved Isaac, but Isaac loved Irene.

What a complicated web of relationships!

“Go on in,” Stan said and left.

Kathy did not go in immediately, however. She checked her makeupwith a mirror, ensuring that she looked impeccable, and straightenedher skirt before heading inside.

“Mr. Jefferson...” she greeted Isaac—she only used Isaac aroundeveryone else so that they would get the impression that he and shewere close.

However, she would not use his first name personally... Even whenthey were alone.

Isaac remained impassive to her arrival-in fact, he was a little cold. “Isthere a problem?”

Kathy smiled. “No, it's just that your grandfather is asking us to havedinner together at the manor.

“I'm busy. You're on your own.” Isaac refused right then.

Kathy was disappointed, but she was not giving up. “But I've askedDebbie. She said you're free tonight-"

“I hate it when others ask for my schedule.” Isaac glowered right then.“I didn’t mean to,” Kathy quickly tried to explain. “I was just asking-
