Chapter 138

Naturally, Chad doubted her and sneered. “Do you think I’m an idiot? That you could trick me so easily?”

Irene forced a smile and kept trying to cajole him. “I’m not lying-I’m being honest here. I have a bone to pick with Isaac Jefferson as well.”

“What, you have a bone to pick with him too?” Chad remained doubtful.

“You were saying that you know about us, but do you know what’s really going on between us?

Irene patiently reasoned.

She was quick on her feet-this way, she could find out about Chad’s intentions, along with how much he actually knew about her and Isaac.

Chad raised a brow in response. He certainly was not aware of the relationship between Isaac and Irene aside from Whitney’s brief mentioning.

In fact, he would not have remembered her if his men never reminded him.
