Chapter 690

Sensing danger right then, Irene turned toward Seth, who appearedperplexed by her look. "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me likethat?"

Irene pointed at Harvey Gooding. "He's your cousin?"

"Yeah," Seth replied honestly. "His mother is my mother's youngestsister.”

"He's sick?” Irene asked.

"Yeah-that's what he told me," Seth said. "He's hoping you can take alook.

Irene's lips twitched.

Fine, it was her own negligence!

Or maybe she never could have expected that Seth and Harvey wererelated.

"Why are you so surprised?"

Harvey rose to his feet just then and he slowly walked towards Irene.Alarmed, Irene retreated and turned to run, only to replace the doorblocked by several burly men, each of whom had fearsome looks ontheir faces!

Her escape cut off, Irene wheeled on Harvey. "What do you want?"Harvey smiled. "To get checked, of course-I'm a patient, and you're adoctor, right?"

Irene narrowed her eyes. "I don't think I can do it. Get someone else,and let me go right now. You know Isaac's temper, and if he knows thatyou're messing with me again, he'll destroy you."

Harvey simply stared at her, and Irene felt the creeps from his gaze."Don't give me that look!"

Harvey snorted and returned to the couch then, crossing his legs as hetold Seth, "You can go back to work now. We don't need you here."Seth was puzzled. "You two know each other? Why did you have to gothrough me, then?"

"Can't you tell from her harsh tone?" Harvey said. "There's a littlemisunderstanding between us, so she's been refusing to see me.That's why I needed your help, and I thank you for it."

With that, Seth turned toward Irene. "Just clear the air, whatever themisunderstanding is. I'll get going now."

Irene tried to stop him. "No-"

Seth simply cut her short. "Just talk it out, and clear themisunderstanding. What's the harm? Shouldn't you be friends sinceyou're acquainted anyway? m

Irene shook her head. "We can never be friends. We're enemies-"“Like I said, a misunderstanding.” Harvey waved him off. “You can gonow, Seth."

With that, Seth turned to leave without another word, not looking backeven as Irene screamed his name.

Harvey chuckled. "You can stop screaming now. It won't work-he'dnever believe you."

"What do you want?" Irene glared at him.

"An eye for an eye. Isaac cares about you, right? I'm just repaying himfor what he did to me."

Irene slowly calmed down. "And what's going to happen to me?"

"Just enough to make him suffer.” Harvey's lips curled up savagely. "Doyou know what he did to me?"

"You deserved it, whatever it was," Irene coolly shot back. "You messedwith us first, and I hate you, let alone him! I just didn't have the power topunish you, or I would have done worse than he did!"

Harvey's veins were bulging over his face from resentment, and hisface twitched as he sneered, "You really deserve each other... It's theexact same words. Fine. I guess I have no reason to hold back now!"With that, he beckoned, "Get in here.”

Soon, a man in a lab coat who appeared to be a doctor entered.

Irene distanced herself by instinct while glaring at him warily. Even ifshe did not know what Harvey was up to, she was sure that he wasrotten to the core!

"Are you going to lie down yourself, or should I have my man pin youdown?’ Harvey said flatly and icily-he had always been kind to herbefore, but they were burning bridges now!

Since Isaac had pushed him over the edge, he had nothing to lose!

If he had to suffer, he would make them suffer with him!

Before Irene could respond, he added, "I know that you're a doctor, andthat you're smart and resourceful. Hell, I suffered at your hands before-but you're not getting away this time."
