Chapter 576

Although Isaac had now seen Debbie's true nature, he asked, "Whywould you hurt James Cross? He was the one who got yourecommended to this job. Shouldn't you be grateful?"

He wanted to know if James found out about some sort of secret shehad, that forced her to silence James.

“I really liked that diamond necklace you plan to give Irene Spencer,and I put it on as I fantasized that you gave it to me-James caught mered- handed, and I knew right then that he saw through me. So, I triedto silence him... permanently.”

Debbie then paused for a moment before adding, "Oh, I'm grateful thathe got me this job, but he became my obstacle after he saw what I did.Hesitation is the worst thing to do, so I had to do what I did... who knewthat he would've survived that instead.”

"Since you wanted to keep things quiet, why dispense with yourdisguise now? Are you really that confident that I'll bend to yourwhims?" Isaac leaned against his chair, but every nerve in his bodywas stiffening despite his nonchalant appearance.

"Well, after working for you for so long, I know how ruthless you can be,but I don't mind telling you that I've done my homework."

Pursing her lips, she said, "I wouldn't have carried out my plan thisearly, but I noticed that Irene knows about my secret. She wasdefinitely worried that I would try to murder James for good, so she toldZachary Slate to hide him."

“That's not the worst either-Ricky Spencer was actually the one whoforced my hand after I discovered that he was the one who had beenkeeping me tailed and blackmailing me. If he told you that I was the onewho hurt James, I'd be killed. It's the reason I did not hesitate, and wasforced to strike first.”

Fortunately, it turned out that she was not too late, and this situationwas exactly what she wanted.

"Either way, I hold the lives of your son and Ricky Spencer in myhands. Deny me, and I promise you that you'll save neither.”

Debbie's lips then curled up in a smile. "I worked for you-l know youbest. That's why I have been meticulous and never cut corners.Understand that you'd never get another antidote, and the only way tosave your son is to marry me."

Isaac's gaze darkened like an impending storm.

Even though she was mentally prepared and had seen him gettingfurious, Debbie still took a step back in fear.

Isaac's phone rang just then.

It was Irene’s call, and he naturally believed everything she said nowthat Debbie had revealed her true colors, even giving a noncommittalgrunt when Irene asked if he knew about Debbie's true nature.

Irene's words only serve to confirm Debbie’s threat.

He was already fatigued with his other child, who was still missing andher fate unknown... only for Debbie to hurt Tommy now.

All he knew just then was that he must kill Debbie for this.

It was absolutely necessary!

His fingers clenching over his phone, he said, "I'm breaking up withyou, Irene..."

Still in the car, Irene was left dumbstruck.

“I'm going to marry Debbie,” he finished, bringing her to her senses.

Her mind raced.

Was Debbie threatening him with Tommy's life? Coercing him into saying that?

Irene kept her voice quiet and said, "Debbie would never allow US to replace an antidote. I knowthat youre trying to save Tommy here, and I know what I must do."

“I trust you,” she said firmly.
