Chapter 464
The man's voice was a little familiar, and Harvey turned around stiffly to see James standing nearby.
He was going to leave to do what Isaac told him to, only to find Harvey standing at the entrance and ranting on
Isaac. "From where I'm standing, you’re the petty one, slandering people behind their backs! Mr. Jefferson may
have a poor temper, but he's more of a man than you are! I mean, aren't you a man? If you are, why ramble on
like some fishwife? Do you even understand why you always lose out to him in business?"
'Why?” Harvey asked in reflex, but he regretted it immediately-he just admitted to being less than Isaac!
And before he could argue, James said, "That's because you're despicable, ignorant, pig-headed, and foolish."
Harvey was left heaving from frustration, but unable to find a good retort, he simply yelled, "Eat shit, James Cross."
"I could say the same to you," James said with a snort. "No one should ever waste their time with you.'

Hold on...
He did not remember hanging up!
Did Irene hear everything? What should he do?!
Harvey really wanted to hit his head on a brick wall just then.
He slowly lifted his phone, and the screen still read 'in-call'.
He had ruined his own image! It was so disgraceful!
He genuinely wanted to slap himself across the face-why did he have to call Irene right outside Isaac's office
building and be overheard by Isaac's lapdog James?!
The sheer misfortune!
Composing himself, he held the phone to his ear again, "Uh, Irene... Did you hear me talking just now?"
Irene certainly heard everything, and giggled. "Every word, though James did a better job at destroying you."
Harvey was left speechless again.
"You could have lied. That was so humiliating," he said as he stopped a taxi.
Irene played along. "Fine, I heard nothing."
"Oh, forget it. You're just making it worse," Harvey grumbled. Changing the subject, he said, "Anyway, back to
business. It doesn't look like Isaac has any plans to get involved, but don't worry, I will come up with something. I'm
going back to Sunny City now to check on my mom before flying back to Minerva-"
Irene was quick to set boundaries. "You don't have to tell me everything.
I'm going to bed-l'm hanging up now."
Harvey finally remembered about the time difference. "Alright, I won't keep you."
Over at Minerva, Irene could not sleep after putting down her phone.

She felt a kick in her belly and looked down as she stroked it with a faint smile. "You little imp.”
Her baby was quite lively... Was it a boy, or a girl?
She hoped for the latter-he said he wanted a daughter.
Bzzt—
Her phone suddenly vibrated and she turned around to pick it up.
Her eyes flashed when she saw the text and she quickly headed to her laptop.
After hesitating for a moment, she clicked on her email and forwarded what she just received to James's email
address!
She was convinced that James would not catch on since she kept her address anonymous, but she underestimated
James's ability!
James had always been a serious person, and he naturally would be concerned after receiving something like that
out of the blue.
It had not been a moment after Irene sent him the file when he sent a reply.
