Chapter 260
The male judge had brought the jacket Irene forgot. He was about to help when he saw Robin grabbing Irene’s hair,
but someone beat him to it.
“Miss Spencer? You forgot your jacket,” he said, holding it out to Irene.
Irene was going to reach for it when Isaac took it, casting a cool glare at the male judge and showing no inclination
of thanking him.
He had seen how mesmerized the male judge was when Irene was dancing–the man was just using this as an
excuse to talk to Irene.
Irene, however, thought that Isaac was being impolite since she did forget her jacket.
She smiled at the male judge. “Thank you. You’ve helped me a lot today.”
“It’s nothing,” he smiled back. “This gentleman is…”
“My husband,” Irene replied.
Isaac had been keeping a profile, which left the male judge thinking that he was an average Joe.
He couldn’t resist sizing up Isaac at that–deciding that Isaac was just a little taller and handsome, but nothing else,
and certainly was not as gentlemanly as him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThose cold eyes were also a clear sign of Isaac’s bad temper.
“Miss Spencer-”
The male judge tried to say more, but Isaac quickly put a hand around Irene’s waist and cut him short. “We should
go.”
Irene glanced at Isaac but said nothing, and left with him.
It was only until they got in his car and drove off that she finally asked, “Why do I have a feeling you’re annoyed?
Even a little hostile towards that male judge?”
Isaac kept driving silently. Knowing his temper, Irene did not press him since he wasn’t going to answer.
Changing the topic, she decided to dissect the current situation. “I’m sure Robin was the one who tried to hurt
Tommy, but there’s another mastermind. Without help, Robin wouldn’t be able to do much on her own. She couldn’t
have gotten Samantha out of prison. -the only people who can do that are lan, your uncle, and your grandfather.”
It was her theory, especially since Robin had a motive.
Isaac agreed with Irene’s opinion–he wouldn’t be surprised with whatever they tried to do now.
“They want control over Sky Group,” he said. “Always have a bodyguard with you when leave the house.”
Irene nodded. “But what about you…?”

“I’m fine,” Isaac said, and suddenly stopped the car on the side of the road.
“Why are you stopping?” Irene asked in curiosity. “Do you have something to do?”
Isaac did not answer, and was simply staring at her.
“Is there something on my face? Why are you just staring?” Irene even reached up to feel her own cheeks.
Isaac suddenly leaned in and kissed her, leaving her eyes widening and her curled lashes twitching.
His kiss was firm but brief, though the single instant almost left Irene’s heart leaping out of her chest!
“What’s gotten into you?”
Why the sudden passion?
Isaac was still staring at her.
She rarely dressed alluringly, and wouldn’t put on makeup unless she had to.
As such, seeing her dance for the first time was especially bewitching for Isaac.
“You looked so beautiful on the dance floor,” he confessed quietly.
Irene was speechless.
Was that the reason?
“You have a lot of hobbies, don’t you?” Isaac asked–she always seemed to surprise her, shining bright like a star
and was capable of charming any man.

“He loved you,” Isaac started as he started the car.
Irene stared at him for a while, and said, “If I told you that my father had me learn all that to seduce you, would
you still think better of him?
Screech-
Isaac jammed his foot on the brakes. Once the car stopped, he asked, “What was that?”
*Spencer Holdings was never in a crisis–my dad was lying. It was an excuse to have me marry you. In fact, he had
me learn so many arts: dancing, piano, painting, and even swimming… Just to groom me as this multi–talented
maiden to earn your favor. He keeps insisting there’s no future to being a doctor, and I should just get married
instead.”
Irene sighed lengthily as she remembered Lionel Spencer.
She slowly came to believe that he wasn’t as terrible as she assumed, and that he actually wanted the best for her
in his own strange way.
Even if things had been unpleasant between them, remembering him hurt her somewhat; and she actually thought
she missed him.
Meanwhile, Isaac kept staring at Irene. Then, he laughed.
