Chapter 638

The traffic light was still red when Irene looked out of the window andsaw that familiar car, though the chauffeur started to drive off beforeshe got a good look.

Still, she turned and managed to see Moneypenny alighting.

It was not surprising that she recognized the car-it was HenryJefferson's, but she did not dwell on it since Isaac was not on speakingterms with them now.

Returning to the mansion, Irene found it dead silent except for thekitchen.

Sheryl was on the couch, sorting some of Irene's baby necessitieswhich they had bought just today.

“Where's Isaac?" Irene asked casually.

"He's talking to James Cross in his study,” Sheryl replied.

Irene left to check on her children first before she left the room quietlysince they were asleep.

Seeing her again, Sheryl asked, "Why don't you ask if they're done?Dinner is ready."

Irene did so, and found the study door ajar.

As she was about to open it, she heard James speaking, “Stan dealtwith Kim Sherwood since he's closer, but what are we going to doabout Harvey Gooding's shenanigans this time?"

This time, Isaac did not do much.

If anything, kidnapping Harvey's son was because he wanted to savehis own right away.

But although he grew a conscience after becoming a father and wouldnot resort to killing a child, he was not about to spare Harvey for whathe did.

In fact, he had been too soft before, allowing Harvey to run rampantunchecked and kidnap his son this time!

Irene had been so worried about their missing child that her health wascrumbling from the pressure.

All debts must be paid!

Since everything he did to Harvey before was trivial, he told James,"Get someone to infiltrate his company's internal structure. If thatdoesn't work, acquire their core business... As for Harvey, there arethings that go bump in the night.”

James quickly understood.

Outside, Irene pretended she never heard a thing and gently pushedthe door open, standing at the doorway as she asked, "Dinner's ready.That means you too, James."

"Actually, I have to go. Duty calls,” James said.

Having heard everything, Irene nodded and did not ask James to stay,and she entered the study after he left.

Isaac was actually curious once she mentioned the Jeffersons.

“Why ask that out of the blue?"

“I was coming home from Zachary's when I saw Moneypenny parkedhis car outside a clubhouse, probably meeting someone?"

“I'l keep an eye out," Isaac said as he walked up to her. "Let's go eat."Over at Sunny City, Harvey became tipsy while socializing with somebusiness partners, and he was heading to the washroom when heinadvertently bumped into someone in the walkway.

The other man grabbed him by the collar, stubbornly refusing to let itgo.

Harvey had a short fuse himself, and so it started with pushing andshoving before escalating to a fight.

It was a total defeat for Harvey-the other man was trained in man-to-man combat, flooring Harvey soon enough and kept going for a whilebefore running away.

Harvey actually had to be hospitalized, and even though he sent hissecond best out to look for his assailant once he regainedconsciousness, his assailant was not found even after a week.

His assistant, Enrique, had to be sent as a representative in his placefor a certain meeting, after all.

Still, as he slowly recovered and became calmer, he more or less foundout who did it.

“It cant be anyone else. Did the meeting go well?" Harvey tried tomove, but his bones ached-everything inside hurt even though therewas not much bruising or scars outside.

"Yes," Enrique replied.

Harvey's lips twitched. "I'll take the initiative this time. The more I clashwith him, the more I see through his moves."

Still, Enrique was worried about his injury, "But you can't get out of bedeven after a week, Mr. Gooding. It's obvious you're really hurt, so whydon't you rest for now? This can wait, right?"

Harvey looked up, scowling. "What would you know? I'll lose if we don'tmove first. Hell, can't you see that I'm already losing here?"

Enrique realized with a start. "Are you saying that Isaac Jefferson sentthe assailant?"

“Who else would? Why else can't I replace my assailant? It's all beenplanned.” Harvey glowered. "But I'm not about to take this lying down."
