Chapter 431

Irene turned to replace a silhouette standing there, but she knew right awaythat it was him.

She had felt no fear even as she confronted lan, but now that he washere, she became fearful that he had fallen victim to lan's deviousnature.

lan had her life and Tommy's life in his hands, and the leverage wouldkeep Isaac's hands tied.

"Oh, he's here. See?" lan laughed in delight-he was one-upping Isaacfor once!

Nonetheless, Isaac walked steadily with composure, not at all flustereddespite present circumstances.

There was a brief look of pain and worry in his eyes as he glanced atIrene before he turned back toward lan with an impassive look. "Here.What you asked for."

lan, however, was actually scared of Isaac, and told one of his goons toget it instead of taking it himself.

When the goon appeared hesitant, he kicked the goon on his bottom.“Gol

As the goon walked toward Isaac with apprehension, lan said, "I knewit- you care about this woman, and are willing to give up Remy for her!"In reality, lan had actually felt uncertain when he made the bet withIrene. After all, giving away Remy for one woman was outrageous.Naturally, he was now even more bent on holding Irene hostage-eventhough he had already put that explosive vest on her, he directed twomore goons to hold her arms, stopping her from moving.

"Care? I'm just doing this because she is the mother of my son, and I'drather not be seen as heartless,” Isaac said without looking at Irene.After all, he was just pretending not to care.

On the other hand, Irene became uneasy and spaced out.

Tm just doing this because she is the mother of my son’ seemed toecho in her mind.

He was just being nice because she was Tommy's mother? Charitygiven to her for Tommy's sake?

Turning toward Isaac, she murmured, "Y-You never loved me at all?"Isaac’s fingers clenched when he saw that she was uneasy. "Does thatmatter? We have a son.”

He was worried that lan would hurt her if he acted overly concernedabout her, especially when she was strapped to explosives.

Urgh-

Irene's face turned as white as a sheet, and she wanted to throw upright then.

She had presumed that they loved each other, and that they were just alittle estranged recently because of Yvaine's death-that he actuallycared, but needed time.

Therefore, hearing him saying now that he only cared because ofTommy tore her heart.

Would he be even nicer if she told him now that she was pregnant too?That they would have a second child?

But the love she thought they had was just a joke!

At the same time, Isaac's phone vibrated in his hand. He did not checkit, however, and merely kept holding on to it and counting the number oftimes it was vibrating-three times were the agreed signal from Jamesand Stan if they found Tommy and Sheryl, while once would mean thatthey had yet to reach them.

And now, it vibrated three times before stopping.

Isaac did not relax at all, however, because Irene was in grave danger.Glancing at his own SUV without being noticed, he continued, "Youhave it now. Let her go.”

"No, what I say goes around here." lan laughed in disdain. "Do you see theexplosives on her? One press on the trigger, and she'll be blown into pieces. Did youreally think I'd let her off that easily? When did you become so naive, IsaacJefferson?"

Walking up to Irene with his eyes still fixed on Isaac, he said, "You destroyed myfamily. I'm just repaying the favor."

Irene’s eyes then widened, her thick eyelashes then dampened.

She looked upon Isaac with fondness, a reluctance to part, and clear misery.

Then, she murmured with a quiver in her voice. "Tommy is your son. You must savehim, and take good care of him..."

Isaac frowned and growled sternly, "What do you think you're doing?!"
