Chapter 355

Irene could hear Lindsay, but she did not turn around or respond.However, Lindsay knew that her secret was out and that Irene knewwho she was, so she simply gave up on pretending. “I know it's you,Irene Spencer—I've been careless. I should have recognized your voice,but I only caught on when I saw you checking my underarm.”

Irene finally turned around just then, and asked, “You know me?”“There's no need to hide now. We both know what's going on. Don'tyou think we should talk?"

Irene stared at Whitney, suddenly unsure what she was up to. “What doyou want?"

“I just wanted to talk, but if you don’t want to, fine.”

Whitney turned and started to leave, but Irene stopped her, and theyheaded to the staircase.

“I never expected that it'd be you who found out first, Whitney said asshe stared at Irene. “Isaac

Jefferson tried to kill me because of you. Don't you think I deserve tohold a grudge?”

“You deserved it. Do you still not understand what you've done? Youare the reason I lost a child, and as the father, Isaac definitely wantsyou dead. He'd be unfitting as a father if he is unmoved.”

Whitney narrowed her eyes. “He knows.”

“Of course,” Irene replied.

Whitney clenched her hand and relaxed, but her heart was ablaze withspite and jealous. “That's why he was being so protective, shielding youfrom that blast.”

Irene laughed. “Of course. He has been so sweet, not to mention thathe outshines Chad in every way You know that, don’t you? Not onlywould he shield me from that bomb, but he was willing to die doing it.You can try something else if you don't believe me.”

She was deliberately provoking Whitney, but Whitney sharply noticedthat Irene was trying to trick a confession out of her, and she quicklysaid, “What bomb? I don't know what you're talking about.” “You knowIsaac was hurt from a blast. What, are you saying that you're not theone who planted the bomb?”

Irene pretended to be puzzled, but Whitney had learned her lesson anddid not take that easily.

“Don’t try to frame me,” she growled as she moved closer to Irene. “Youstole my man, Irene Spencer, and it's time we settled this.”

Irene simply retreated to keep her distance. “Your man? What, are yousaying that you're not the brazen one who pretended to be me? Youwouldn't even have had the chance to get acquainted with Isaac if notfor me, and you're still shameless enough to say that he’s yours? Howthick—skinned... Or is your skin made of rock?”

She unceremoniously exposed Whitney, humiliating her.

As Whtiney remembered her inglorious past, her face contorted andshe lunged toward Irene.

However, Irene quickly evaded Whitney, since she was prepared for it.Missing her chance, Whitney's embarrassment turned into fury. “Don’tget so smug, Irene Spencer. I heard that Isaac left the country—no oneis here to protect you!”

Irene simply ignored her, and Whitney wanted nothing less to tear offher pretty cheeks right then, and the way she looked so unmoved!

She hated Irene because she was always so composed, rarely losingcontrol or getting hysterical.

“How am I any less than you? Why do you get to have everything? Allthe boys at med school were hovering around you, and the hospitalchief admired you soon after we started out as interns... Howfrustrating it is that you keep overshadowing me!”

Whitney did not think that she was any lesser than Irene, but simplyhad bad luck. That was why the men who admired her were the likes ofChad, who was rich, but did not even have looks.

On the other hand, Irene had Zachary Slate, who was said to be a richkid and had good looks, and he always kept an eye out for her.

And now, she was married to Isaac! It was as if she only ever got all thegood men!

Suddenly, Whitney started walking toward the stairs. “You will suffer likeI did, Irene Spencer.”

Irene was actually confused for a moment. “What are you talkingabout?”

“You will suffer—just like I did.” With that, Whitney closed her eyes andfell!

Irene’s eyes widened in shock. “What-?!"
