Chapter 417

She only wanted to tell Isaac what she thought, and did not expect Zachary to be listening!

Ricky was young and impulsive–it certainly looked like something he would do.

“I was going to see you off,” Zachary said, hesitating for a moment before continuing, “Also, please pass a message to Lulu.”

“What is it?” Irene asked.

“Tell her…” Zachary’s voice trailed off, and then said, “Forget it.”

It was pointless to say anything now–there was no question that he was the one who let her down.

Jimmy the chauffeur was the one who brought Irene to Central Tower, so she sent him home while she got into Isaac’s car.
