Chapter 682
Irene said, "Robin Lynd was going to jump even if Ricky didn't push her. I'm also convinced that there was someone
who goaded her into it."
Isaac turned toward her just then. "What?"
"Didn't you see that it was Robin before you came upstairs? What did you do to her after you dumped Ian Jefferson
at Jefferson Manor?"
Isaac frowned.
While he did see a corpse, there was a huge crowd around it and it was too much of a bloody mess for him to
recognize who it was.
That was why he would never have known that it was Robin if Irene never mentioned it-they released her after
dumping Ian home, and he presumed that releasing Ian would keep her in line.
He never saw it coming, but it was almost unsurprising that a villain would continue to be one! They would never let

While it was fine that she was dead now-it meant one less loose end to worry about-the consequence was far
worse.
He had been preparing the wedding for a while, and it had already been delayed in the first place.
And now...
He certainly felt sorry for Irene.
Irene, on the other hand, was concerned for Ricky and not that their wedding had to be called off.
"Ricky did this for me. Don't let him go to jail-you have to do something about this."
"I know," Isaac replied.
Ricky had calmed down considerably, but he had never felt this bewildered or terrified.
He had committed murder-he was still afraid inside even if it was not premeditated!
"Brother-in-Law, you have to help me. I really didn't mean to push her... She was dragging Irene to the window and
I was so furious, I pushed her!'
Suddenly utterly humble, he no longer addressed Isaac as Mr. Jefferson-all he wanted right then was to emphasize
that he was Irene's younger brother in hopes that Isaac would save him.
He could not go to jail-what would happen to Lulu Adams if he did?
Zachary Slate would just steal her away!
Isaac leveled him a cool look. "I'll do something for your sister's sake."
"Thanks, Brother-in-Law."
Ricky's words were certainly sweet, and Isaac actually liked being addressed as 'brother-in-law.'
Meanwhile, they had returned to the hilltop mansion, and as Irene and Ricky alighted, Isaac assured them,
especially Irene. "I'll get it done, don't worry."
Irene nodded.
Then, just as he was about to leave, she told him, "You have to watch out too."
"Yeah," Isaac replied and drove away.
Ricky was still on edge, so Irene told him to relax. "It's alright. I know you didn't mean it."

"Just forget it," Irene said softly.
Ricky stared at her then. "Aren’t you scared?"
She was so exceedingly calm that Ricky thought it inhumane of her-even as a man, the gore still traumatized him.
"What's there to be scared about?" Irene simply patted him on the shoulder. "Just forget it."
Ricky smacked himself on the forehead right then-how could he forget Irene's profession?
She cut people open at the surgical table, and she had certainly seen all varieties of bloody scenes.
"Can I stay here a few days?"
He suddenly did not want to be alone at his own home-his terror just might subside with all the people in this
mansion.
Irene agreed to it without thinking, since they had many rooms to go round.
"Wait, you have a visitor?" Ricky suddenly asked.
Irene followed his gaze, and saw her...
