Ricky Spencer did not release her, however. “I know that your son was kidnapped. Is there anything I can help with?”

“No,” Irene replied. “Just stick to your lessons on managing the company.”

“Tommy is my nephew even if you won’t admit it. I’m actually worried that he has been taken away, and I just want to help.”

Ricky’s tone was sincere, making it awkward for Irene to brush him off.

He may have entrusted Spencer Holdings to me for now, but understand that he loves and cares about you… As for your mother, there’s no question that she made many mistakes, and I hope you can let go of past grudges and concentrate on studying.”
