Chapter 501

Stephen immediately apologized.

"I'm sorry."

Irene could tell that Isaac had done a serious number on Stephen since she saw how Hannah reacted to Isaac—she never would have been so hostile otherwise.

And Irene certainly knew what Isaac is like.

"It's fine," she said.

"Isaac must have bothered you a lot."

Hannah was bringing her tea, and when she heard Irene, she said, "That's putting it lightly—"

Hannah held her silence reluctantly, and passed the tea to Irene, "Here, have some tea."

She had no idea that Irene was the reason Isaac abducted Stephen— if she did, she would not have let Irene in, let alone made her tea.

Stephen never told Hannah much about his work, and silence was certainly the best policy in Irene's case, giving him even less reason to tell to avoid causing her trouble.

Hannah was certainly no villain either, but she was not about to watch as her own husband was harassed.

"What's your name?" she asked Irene.

Irene smiled.

"I'm Irene Spencer. You can just call me Irene."
