Chapter 355
Irene could hear Lindsay, but she did not turn around or respond.
However, Lindsay knew that her secret was out and that Irene knew who she was, so she simply gave up on
pretending. “I know it’s you, Irene Spencer–I’ve been careless. I should have recognized your voice, but I only
caught on when I saw you checking my underarm.”
Irene finally turned around just then, and asked, “You know me?”
“There’s no need to hide now. We both know what’s going on. Don’t you think we should talk?”
Irene stared at Whitney, suddenly unsure what she was up to. “What do you want?”
“I just wanted to talk, but if you don’t want to, fine.”
Whitney turned and started to leave, but Irene stopped her, and they headed to the staircase.
“I never expected that it’d be you who found out first, Whitney said as she stared at Irene. “Isaac

“You deserved it. Do you still not understand what you’ve done? You are the reason I lost a child, and as the father,
Isaac definitely wants you dead. He’d be unfitting as a father if he is unmoved.”
Whitney narrowed her eyes. “He knows.”
“Of course,” Irene replied.
Whitney clenched her hand and relaxed, but her heart was ablaze with spite and jealous. “That’s why he was being
so protective, shielding you from that blast.”
Irene laughed. “Of course. He has been so sweet, not to mention that he outshines Chad in every way You know
that, don’t you? Not only would he shield me from that bomb, but he was willing to die doing it. You can try
something else if you don’t believe me.”
She was deliberately provoking Whitney, but Whitney sharply noticed that Irene was trying to trick a confession out
of her, and she quickly said, “What bomb? I don’t know what you’re talking about.” “You know Isaac was hurt from
a blast. What, are you saying that you’re not the one who planted the bomb?”
Irene pretended to be puzzled, but Whitney had learned her lesson and did not take that easily.
“Don’t try to frame me,” she growled as she moved closer to Irene. “You stole my man, Irene Spencer, and it’s time
we settled this.”
Irene simply retreated to keep her distance. “Your man? What, are you saying that you’re not the brazen one who
pretended to be me? You wouldn’t even have had the chance to get acquainted with Isaac if not for me, and you’re
still shameless enough to say that he’s yours? How thick–skinned… Or is your skin made of rock?”
She unceremoniously exposed Whitney, humiliating her.
As Whtiney remembered her inglorious past, her face contorted and she lunged toward Irene.
However, Irene quickly evaded Whitney, since she was prepared for it.
Missing her chance, Whitney’s embarrassment turned into fury. “Don’t get so smug, Irene Spencer. I heard that
Isaac left the country–no one is here to protect you!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIrene simply ignored her, and Whitney wanted nothing less to tear off her pretty cheeks right then, and the way she
looked so unmoved!
She hated Irene because she was always so composed, rarely losing control or getting hysterical.
“How am I any less than you? Why do you get to have everything? All the boys at med school were hovering around
you, and the hospital chief admired you soon after we started out as interns… How frustrating it is that you keep
overshadowing me!”
Whitney did not think that she was any lesser than Irene, but simply had bad luck. That was why the men who
admired her were the likes of Chad, who was rich, but did not even have looks.
On the other hand, Irene had Zachary Slate, who was said to be a rich kid and had good looks, and he always kept
an eye out for her.
And now, she was married to Isaac! It was as if she only ever got all the good men!
Suddenly, Whitney started walking toward the stairs. “You will suffer like I did, Irene Spencer.”
Irene was actually confused for a moment. “What are you talking about?”
“You will suffer–just like I did.” With that, Whitney closed her eyes and fell!
Irene’s eyes widened in shock. “What-?!”
