Tim said, "I agree, and I will help you when the time comes. However, Iwant his office building when we split the spoils."

It was certainly a nice place-one would not blame Peter for resorting tomurder for that plot of land.

"Of course.” Zachary agreed to it right away, since he needed Tim'shelp.

Naturally, he had done his homework on Tim before seeking hispartnership -the man certainly had the resources to reopen an old caseand renew the investigation, first by inciting online sentiment topressure the authorities.

"All the best to our joint venture,” Tim said, raising a glass in salute."Let's toast with coffee for now."

They had already squeezed Peter dry for money, after all.

As Zachary clinked glasses with Tim, Tim's secretary entered. "Theambulance has arrived."

"Let them do their work," Tim said.

Meanwhile, Irene had arrived at her new residence-a mansion up onthe hill, near a body of water.

There was only a road up to the hill, and it was hidden within thickbamboo forests.

When they arrived, there were already three security perimeters setaround the mansion, guarded by men 24/7.

Even if the guards slipped up and allowed someone in, the radardetector would pick up on the intruder and sound the alarm-nothingwas getting in without permission.

Moreover, everything was prepared for their daily needs along withother necessities-lrene could live there comfortably once she movedthere.

It was spacious, and everything from the environment to the air wasbetter than Rose Garden!

Mrs. Watson's eyes widened. “This is such a good place, ma'am. Whendid you buy it?"

She actually thought that moving to this place was much nicer.

Irene sat on the couch with Tommy in her arms and said, “Isaacarranged for it."

Mrs. Watson's eyes lit up. "I see. So Mr. Jefferson still cares aboutyou."

"It's just crocodile tears," Sheryl growled. “That's a man for you...Tommy is sick, and you're still recovering from labor, but what did hedo...?!"

She had been holding it in for a while now, and it all burst out-sheswiped at a vase on the table!

Bang!

It shattered into a million pieces, its shards shattering everywhere!Even as Irene shielded Tommy in her arms, Sheryl screamed, “I knewit-1 misjudged him! All men are rotten apples who are only skin-deep!"Sheryl was under the impression that Isaac was dumping Irenebecause of her disfigurement.

"Messing with his secretary, too. How cliche!" She then turned to Irene.' We are changing Tommy's name tomorrow. lke Jefferson?! More likeIke Spencer!"

Irene was about to speak, but eventually stopped himself fromexplaining.

Flipping out was the normal reaction here-Debbie would suspectsomething if Sheryl appeared calm after learning the truth.

Debbie was sharp, and her abilities were certainly not to beunderestimated after she stayed by Isaac's side for so long.

Irene must not let down her guard.

"Mom, just calm down..."

"How am I supposed to calm down?! This is killing me! How could hejust leave you like that? You've had two children with him, but this ishow he repays you? It's outrageous!"

Sheryl's heart ached for Irene-how could she bear to see her own daughter being hurt likethis?

She could stab Isaac right now if he was here!

At the same time, Mrs. Watson was quietly cleaning the floor.

She had always cared for Isaac's needs and spoken on his behalf.

However, she dared not say a word now.

Creak...

The door suddenly opened and everyone turned toward it right then!
