Chapter 145 Lulu noticed the strange look on Irene’s face just then. “What’s with you-

“Lulu.’ ”

Zachary suddenly stood up, leaving Lulu stunned!

Just then, she felt surprise and pang of delight-delight to see him.

Still, she quickly came to her senses and maintained an indifferent look as she asked coolly, ” Why are

you here?”

Zachary simply stared at her fixedly-she was questioning his presence, without greeting or asking after

his health.

Irene quickly said, “We met outside. I was going to call you, but you came already…”

Lulu saw that she was holding her phone and hence telling the truth-she did not mean to set up this

meeting between them.

“Let’s go elsewhere,” Lulu said.

“Okay,” Irene replied, while Zachary pursed his lips beside her.

‘Just as they were ready to leave, he strode forward in an instant and grabbed Lulu’s wrist, dragging

her further into the tearoom, telling Irene as they moved, “I need to talk to her. Don’t interfere.”

“Let me go! There’s nothing to talk about, I’m married

Zachary suddenly wrapped his arms around her and kissed her, stopping her mid-sentence.

Irene stood nearby and watched.

Knowing that a proper talk would do them some good, she quietly turned and left.

She was going to get a taxi and return to the mansion, but changed her mind-she should go look for

Isaac and clear their misunderstanding anyway.

He must have calmed down by now, and would readily listen.

Directing the taxi driver to take her to Light Group’s offices, she only found Stan there, who told her,

“Mr. Jefferson is not around-he returned to Jefferson Manor.”

“Is there a reason?” Irene asked.

“I’m not sure,” Stan replied. “Moneypenny himself came looking for him, so I’m sure that Mr. Henry

Jefferson asked.”

Irene nodded in understanding, and returned to the mansion since Isaac was not around.

Isaac appeared a little impatient as he played chess with his grandfather.

He was summoned here, but Henry was not saying a thing.

“Can you tell me what I’m here for, Grandfather?” he suddenly said, interrupting the old man who was

contemplating his next move

Seemingly remembering that he was there just then, Henry laughed cheerfully. “Oh, my memory is

really failing me these days… Getting so engrossed with chess after getting you to come!”

He told Moneypenny to pour them two cups of tea, took a sip, and slowly said, “Actually, it’s nothing

much –I have a friend coming by today, and it’s impolite since I would be alone receiving them. That’s

why I asked you to help me show them some hospitality.”

Isaac frowned. “Your son is better suited for that.”

He was obviously displeased.

At the same time, Henry’s face paled.

He had two sons the eldest, Isaac’s father, had long since passed away.

Isaac was clearly referring to his second son, lan Jefferson… And he knew very well what his own son

had done!

That was why he had no authority even if he was Isaac’s elder, because he defended his son

Breathing a deep sigh, he remembered the two reasons he handed the entirety of the Jefferson

estate to Isaac.

For one, Isaac had the ability to bring them to new heights.

“And the other was to make amends.

“Your uncle is just too soft-he’s not meant for great things,” Henry said, pushing all the responsibility to

lan’s wife, Quincy Moore.

After all, when the day comes and he departs, Isaac would have no qualms to destroy Ian. He was

therefore doing his best to talk Isaac into training his crosshairs on Quincy, and be lenient on lan since

he was his uncle.

Moneypenny returned to the room then and announced, “Sir, they’re here.”

“Good. Bring them here!” Henry exclaimed.

Moneypenny left once more, and returned with a man who appeared around the same age as Henry,

but appeared more spirited than himself!

“Long time no see, old friend.”

“We never had much chance to meet after you moved out of the country,” Henry said warmly.

Isaac remained in his seat, but when he finally looked up and saw the woman with the visitor, he could

not help furrowing his brow!
