Chapter 343
Quincy was grunting in pain.
“Mmph!!! Mmph!!!”
She fainted from the pain in minutes, but Stan simply splashed her withthe drinking water on the table to wake her and repeated the process.The same cycle continued for a while until Quincy was half-dead, andStan finally put away his tools, saying. “No one will care about her inthere.”
In other words, people would not ask questions about her injuries, letalone tend to it.
Beside them, Isaac was not reacting at all-his heart's anguish could notbe placated no matter how much Quincy suffered.
The memories of his parents’ deaths was the most terrible memory hehad, more so than the memory of almost dying from drowning.Eventually, he stepped out of the visitor's room and saw Henry.
Once again he was not reacting at all, and there was no warmth to befound in his eyes.
“Shall we talk?” Henry asked.
Isaac stayed silent but did not refuse, while Henry traded glances withMoneypenny and breathed sighs of relief.
If Isaac was willing to talk, there just might be hope for Light Group toturn things around.
Henry was certainly optimistic, holding on to Moneypenny so that hecould keep pace with Isaac.
Once they were outside, Henry said, “I can help you with Quincy.”
He was trying to sell him a favor, and Isaac naturally knew that. “I mighthave bought that before,” he said coolly, “but now that she is awaitingtrial and basically doomed, what can you help me with?”
Henry was instantly silenced—he had kept protecting Greg's family andstill did not understand his mistake.
All he cared about was that he lost a son, and refused to lose another.That was why he took upon himself to raise Isaac, in hopes that hewould give up on his hatred.
And yet...
“She deserved it. Greg has been punished too—he’s now paraplegicand would be wheelchair-bound for the rest of his life. But lan neverknew and was never involved, so can't you-"
“No.” Isaac's response was simple and certain.
It was already his final act of sentiment that he did not immediately turnagainst Henry.
Meanwhile, Stan had finished up and was stepping out of the buildingas well, and quickly got into the driver's seat, turning on the ignition asIsaac got in.
Henry had so much to tell Isaac and was eager to appeal to Isaac'semotion since he raised him as a boy.
However, he could say none of it as Isaac was very clear where hestood.
Overwhelmed by emotion, he fainted and started to fall.
“Sir?! Please, stay with me!” Moneypenny caught him, and cried out toIsaac, “Master Isaac! Help, please!”
Stan was going to drive off but paused, and turned to look at Isaac. “Mr.Jefferson?”
Isaac was staring straight ahead. There was a brief second when heseemed to twitch, but he composed himself soon enough.
“Drive.”
With that, Stan stayed silent and floored the gas pedal, and they soonreturned to Isaac’s mansion.
Although Isaac headed straight to his study, Stan did not dare to followbecause he clearly was not feeling calm.
To no surprise, Stan soon heard something breaking from inside!
