Chapter 529

The research concerned the entire medical development scene ofMinerva and their position as a global power.

After the mess Irene caused, there was no doubt they would bringdown the hammer on her-especially when her allegiances clearly layelsewhere.

"We're looking at prison time if things get to worse," Mick Gooding wassaying.

Stephen Carr had spoken to him over the phone, and he wanted tohelp after learning that Irene was in deep trouble. He had even gone asfar as to seek out Isaac while asking his friends to discern the damage."Pregnancy is inconsequential to the laws here, and since Irene is aforeigner, she might get slammed with espionage and treason," Mickfinished, feeling the weight of a very hairy situation already.

As Isaac listened to him dissect the situation over the phone, hisexpression remained impassive.

However, there was no way he could just do nothing and wait-no matterhow grim things looked.

“I have a business relationship with the Raideens. I'm going over to seeif there's a solution.”

Mick nodded. "If you need anything, just ask.”

Isaac did not reply.

After reading Yvaine Lynd's letter and replaceing out that she had fallen forMick later in life, he had been unable to accept it at first, but eventuallyunderstood that it was just human nature.

Feelings develop over time spent together. It was absolutely normal-hewould appear unsympathetic if he kept prying.

Moreover, he had already misunderstood Irene because of Yvaineonce, and he would rather not make more mistakes about that.

Erin Gooding had been eavesdropping on Mick's call and learned thatIsaac was coming to Minerva, even agreeing to meet at a cafe.

James would definitely be here as well, since he was Isaac's lapdog.As such, she sneaked to the cafe, pretending as if she was running intohim when she saw that he was going to leave.

Smiling in greeting and seeing that it was just Isaac, she quickly asked,' James isn't with you?"

Isaac, however, did not have time for her, and simply sidestepped tostride past her.

For Erin's part, she would not dare to mess around with Isaac now.After all, she had neither the right nor the confidence-she was notYvaine's child, and certainly not Isaac's half-sister.

Running up to him, she asked politely, "Look, I won't bug you-I just wantto know whether James came here with you."

Isaac turned to look at her, and said, "No."

"Why not? He still works for you, right?" Erin pressed, but Isaac-clearlyimpatient-did not answer this time.

Erin wondered if James had avoided coming because of her.

Could he be worried that she would stalk him again?

Cutting in front of Isaac, she asked, "Is he staying away because hedoesn't want to see me?"

"That's his business and I wouldn't know. Now, move!"

His tone was cold, and the savagery in his visage was a clear indicatorof how he felt at the moment.

Erin stepped aside, grumbling softly, "Petty."

Isaac seemed to hear her, but he did not say anything as he got into his car.

Bzzt—

His phone began to ring, and he answered.

“I'm sorry, Mr. Jefferson, but we have a problem,” Debbie said from the other end.

Isaac remained impassive. "What is it?"
