Chapter 339

Isaac was quite irked.

“Yeah,” he grunted coolly and left.

And the instant he was gone, Irene’s face fell.

She breathed a long sigh and told herself not to be petty—it was notworth it.

Even so, it felt like she had something stuck in her heart, and she couldnot stop herself from imagining what the other woman was like.

Was she beautiful?

Did she stand out of the crowd?

Were they innocent playmates? Childhood friends? A match made inheaven?

Why else was Isaac unable to forget about her?

Messy thoughts poured into her mind like an endless spring. She shookher head firmly to stop herself from imagining it, and started reading amedical textbook to calm herself.

Unsurprisingly, her thoughts were soon completely drawn to thecontents of the book, and the hours ticked past before she knew it.Meanwhile, the situation at Light Group was taking a turn for the worse,with lan being remanded for investigation while things appeared bleakin the company.

Everyone else was speculating if this would lead to their bankruptcy.For Henry, his concern to save face was now moot as his entire familywas humiliated, with no ounce of dignity left to speak of.

The evidence implicating Quincy's murder of Kathy was concrete-hertrial was merely a formality. As such, Henry was not going to botherhelping her, not to mention that she attempted to murder Greg as well.From that point alone, Henry was already being merciful in refrainingfrom making things harder for her. Still, it was only because Gregsurvived that Henry did not get involved.

That being said, her doom was her just deserts—especially when shewas not a Jefferson.

On the other hand, Henry could not afford to neglect lan, whose fatewas now bound to Light Group. As Eastdawn was defaulting on a debtwell worth over a billion, lan must take up 80% of said debt because. heowned the exact amount of shares of the company.

Once the concerned departments finished their investigation, all of lan'sassets would be confiscated or shut down, including Light Group.

As things stood now, Henry's only way out was to ask Isaac for help.Still, even if Isaac had not shown up for a while now, he could teli thatIsaac was the one behind everything Quincy did-if she was able to tell,he certainly could too.

But with his dynasty on the brink of collapse, he had to put aside hispride.

However, when he tried to contact Isaac, he could not reach hisgrandson at all.

It seemed that Isaac might have predicted that and turned off hiscellphone.

Not bothered to get involved no matter how lively things were gettingout there, he stayed at home, peacefully tending to his son as if none ofit concerned him.

Having no other choice, Henry sent Moneypenny to check everyproperty Isaac has, while he visited Greg.

Although Greg survived, his heart had stopped for a while, and oxygendeprivation caused permanent nerve damage, leaving him crippledfrom the waist down.

“Where is that bitch now?” he growled the instant he woke up, unableto accept that he was now paraplegic.

Henry seemed to have aged a decade, his hair now completely whiteand his gaze unfocused. “The cops took her Isaac has her exactlywhere he wants.”

Greg was not having any of that, and started ranting endlessly aboutQuincy.

Not bothered to listen, Henry pushed himself up with his cane andslowly left.

It felt like his body started to fall apart overnight, and he was nowhanging by a thread.

Irene just happened to be doing rounds with Stephen, and wasstepping out of a ward when she spotted Henry.

She did not greet him, instead following Stephen as they continuedvisiting other patients.

However, Henry saw her!

“trene Spencer!”
