James was quiet again before saying, “It would be great if you can speak on his behalf. You’re legally Mr. Jefferson’s wife and would therefore inherit everything, so—”

“Isaac’s not dead! I’m not inheriting anything!” Irene shouted, but she soon regretted it—she should not have responded to James like that, but she was really in a bad mood!
