Chapter 454

James sneaked a glance at Isaac.

What would he do now that Erin Gooding had barged into his office?They were step-siblings in a way, after all...

Even so, Isaac appeared unruffled, and watched as everythingunfolded with coldness in his eyes.

James was speechless-was he really that cold?

He had every reason to acknowledge her as his sister, just so that hedid not have to feel so lonely-that was what James believed, at least.Meanwhile, Erin moved to stand just behind Isaac's desk. "You're IsaacJefferson, right? I've seen your photos and looked into you. Yvaine isas much your mother as she is mine, so please tell me where she'sburied. I need to pay my respects.”

There was a sternness to her presence, as if she would not give up ifIsaac did not tell her.

However, Isaac simply glanced at Debbie. "Call security."

Debbie was naturally thrilled. "Yes, Mr. Jefferson.”

"What?!*" Erin exclaimed, gaping. "I'm Yvaine's daughter!"

“Doesn't matter who you are. Barging in here without permission isagainst the rules,” Debbie told her.

The security guards arrived just then, and she said unceremoniously,”Throw her out of here."

Irene was dead, and Debbie did not want to suffer more rivals as shehoped to replace Irene.

Naturally, any woman that shows up around Isaac would leave herwary and she would do everything she could to make them leave!Even as the security guards restrained Erin, she was still not giving up."Isaac Jefferson! You don't get to keep our mother to yourself! She'sour mother!"

Debbie simply gave the security guards a look. "Make it fast."

Erin was hence swiftly dragged into the elevator and her voice was cutoff once the doors closed, restoring silence to the office.

Isaac, however, was clearly unhappy about it. "How did she get uphere?"

Knowing that he was in trouble again, James quickly said, "I'llstrengthen security and tell them not to let unfamiliar faces in."Isaac's expression was cool, seemingly unsatisfied with his answer.James gulped. "I'l make her leave the country right away.”

As he quickly left, Debbie was a little pleased to hear it, though herhappiness did not even last for a minute...

"Out," Isaac growled coolly.

Debbie kept her head down as she left, but she was not upset withIsaac's coldness.

In fact, she already felt lucky that she could return to his side and be hissecretary again, and they had all the time they needed.

She was certainly not in a hurry to get things done right away.

She was also convinced that Isaac would definitely notice her thelonger she stayed with him.

She was much more useful than Irene since she could help him at worktoo.

And what could Irene do now that she was dead?

Erin was soon repatriated back to Minerva.

Mick had been living there with Yvaine, and although they had adoptedErin from an orphanage in Cloud City, she spent most of her life inMinerva too.

Still, James simply had to make an excuse with an expired visa to gether repatriated.

Erin was naturally very upset about it, and complained the instant shereturned to Mick!

"Dad! How could Mom have a son as cold as him? He even told hispeople to throw me out of his office! I mean, I am his half-sister, right?Even if he's not going to show some hospitality, he shouldn't humiliateme like that! He even had me repatriated-it's outrageous!"

Erin's dainty, innocent face was contorted with rage, but Mick was notactually surprised.

Pouring her a glass of water, he said, "It's fine. Now, have a drink tocool down."

Erin was still discontented. "The more he tries to stop me, the more I'lllook. I*

Mick certainly wanted to see Yvaine again while he was alive, andsince Irene used to be with Isaac, she would know him best."Patience. You need a plan, and I can help you come up withsomething," Mick said.

Erin's eyes brightened. "You have an idea, Dad? What is it? Tell mealready!"
