Chapter 962
Irene was helping Sheryl with arranging their belongings, but she could only use one hand since the bullet wound on
her shoulder still hurt.
Hearing Zachary's call, Irene looked up to find him dashing toward her in panic.
She frowned. "What?"
Zachary quickly hid behind her, saying, "It's Erin. She was interrogating me about James. I have no idea, but she
keeps pestering me anyway."
Erin arrived after Zachary did and snapped, "You were talking about him on the phone!"
Zachary's reluctance to tell Erin left her really uneasy, and she turned to Irene. "Irene?"
Irene simply looked away to help Sheryl, pretending as if she never heard a thing.

While Irene was speechless, Erin kept pestering her, "Just tell me what it is, Irene!"
Irene was silent for a moment and started toward a room. "Come with me!"
Erin followed, and after she closed the door, Irene admitted everything, knowing that there was no hiding it now.
"After we found Isaac, James had to cover our escape. He was captured afterward."
Erin stood, her expression blank as her hands clenched gradually at her sides!
"We're worried about him too," Irene assured Erin.
"Why isn't anyone out looking for him?" Erin asked, more or less accusative.
"We don't even know who those people were," Irene explained. "Isaac has already asked people to find them. Why
would we ever abandon James? Who do you take us for?"
Erin stayed silent for a long while for the information to sink in. "Sorry. I was too worried and didn't choose my
words..."
"It's alright." Irene understood and therefore did not take offense. "We're worried too, but we didn't tell you in case
you get distraught."
"I understand that you hid it from me for my sake," Erin replied. "But to be honest, you should've told me sooner. I'd
find out eventually—there's no hiding something like this."
Irene thought about it and had to agree.
"Is there no news at all yet?" Erin asked.
Irene shook her head.
Erin then asked, "Where was he captured? I'll go look."
She could not just sit and wait!
"No." Irene refused summarily-the gang had guns and were clearly serial criminals. It was too dangerous for Erin,

Even now, James's fate was unknown!
Irene reached out and took Erin's hand. "Trust us. We will do our best. Honest!"
Erin was willing to believe them, but she could not do nothing and wait!
Irene could tell that Erin was anxious. She said, ’Wait here for me. I'll ask if there's news."
Erin nodded, while Irene left to find Isaac and saw that he was talking to Zachary.
She did not approach them but instead listened quietly from a distance.
Zachary seemed confused. "Why would it be Ian Jefferson's leg?"
Isaac did not seem surprised, since it was not that hard to explain. "Hector bribed those pilots to capture me.
Knowing that it failed and I survived the crash, he's now coming for my family."
"You mean Hector was the one who sent it?!" Zachary gaped but he soon understood. ’So he's taking his revenge
on your family... But he didn't bother to check why Ian was constantly kept under confinement? James only spared
him because killing him would sully his hands, while torturing him, was the best way to punish him. But Hector didn't
even do his homework and thought that killing him would be payback against you?" Zachary was amused by the
thought!
