Chapter 553

Isaac looked up at Irene just then. "Yeah?"

She wanted to ask if Debbie was responsible, but realized that she hadno proof.

"What is it?" Isaac held her gaze, sitting on the bed just then.

Irene hesitated for a moment, but eventually asked, ' Did you tellDebbie to come back after James’s accident?"

"No," Isaac replied. "James had her transfer back earlier.”

mReally?"

Irene thought that Debbie did that to James just to make it back, butsince the case was the exact opposite, it would look as if she had nomotive.

It meant Irene's hunch was wrong, and could she have been paranoid?However, she knows that Debbie wanted Isaac, and would be only tooeager to return to Isaac's side.

"What is it?" Isaac asked.

Irene shook her head. "It's nothing.”

"Okay. Now get some proper rest," he said, pulling the blanket over her."Yeah," she said, and closed her groggy eyes.

Isaac waited until she fell asleep before leaving, closing the doorbehind himself.

Sheryl walked up to him, asking, "She looks so skinny. Was labordifficult for her?"

"Yeah." Isaac lowered his eyes. "That's why she needs to recover.”

As Irene's mother, Sheryl naturally felt sad to see her daughter like that.“I'll take good care of her.”

Isaac was naturally at ease having Sheryl keep an eye on things.Getting in his car, he started the ignition and dialed Zachary Slate'snumber

It just so happened that Ember Lindt's parents were at Slate Mansion,because Zachary was demanding a divorce!

Ember naturally refused, insisting that it was Zachary's scheme, andnow the two families were in the midst of a confrontation.

But truth be told, it was Zachary confronting the Lindts and his ownmother.

After all, Mrs. Slate would never allow him to get a divorce, and wasdoing her best to reason with him, “It's just a misunderstanding. Howcould you demand a divorce at the drop of a hat?"

Zachary held her gaze. "She cheated on me."

“I didn't! You set me up just to replace out what happened to Lulu!"

Ember had already resolved herself to go the distance because she would never allowzachary to be free from her.

As for Mrs. Slate, she was even more determined to side with Ember at the mention of Lulu,taking her words at face value.

Moreover, she had gone through great lengths to make this marriage happen-how could sheletit end so easily?

“What a jinx, causing problems even from the graver” she blurted.

zachary tumed to glare at her right then. "What? How did you know Lulu is dead?"

The Lindts glared at Mrs. Slate too, so she hastily came up with an excuse. "It's just a rumor."
