“Ricky? What are you doing here?!"
Irene was at first shocked to see Ricky, but soon snapped as she came to her senses. ‘ Where have
you been?!"
“Irene, please tell them to let go...” Ricky groaned-his arm felt like it would be ripped off soon.
Irene quickly waved off the bodyguard. “I know him. Let him go!”
The bodyguards did so and left, while Irene asked, "What happened to you? And why did you sell the
mansion?"
“I thought you would help me find Lulu, but you went missing and Isaac left the country too,” Ricky
exined. “There''s no one here to help me, and I don''t have any clues where to look. It''s like she''s
gone without a trace...”
“Anyway, I started drifting from bar to bar, when I spotted Isaac''s secretary ... Debbie, was it? She was
talking to a man in a corner of the bar, acting all shady-like. I then followed the man... and guess what I
saw?*
“What?" Irene urged. “Don''t keep me in suspense.”
“He drove a dump truck and crashed it into James Cross''s car.”
Irene''s face fell, holding Ricky''s gaze as she asked, “Are you sure about what you saw?"
"Of course. Since I have leverage against Debbie, I used her to start a fight between Ember Lindt and
Zachary te to make Ember pay."
He appeared a little proud when he said that, but soon slumped unhappily again. "By the way, I had no
choice but to sell the mansion. I had to keep an eye on Debbie''s every move, so I needed help. With
spencer Holdings bankrupt and no money in my ounts, I had to sell everything I could."
Irene did not scold him, since he was hardly useless there.
At the very least, he had done well where James was concerned.
If not for him, no one would have known what Debbie did to James.
"Wait, you sent those street thugs to follow me?" Irene asked.
"Yeah... I mean, I was worried you''d get upset with me selling the mansion,” Ricky scratched his head.
"I didn''t dare to meet you, so I had them watch you for the time being."
“All grown up, huh," Irene said, holding his gaze. "Well, why are you showing up now? Not afraid that
I''d beat you up or scold you now?"
"Because you reported me as a missing person. The cops are looking for me now, so I have no choice
but toe to you,” Ricky said.
If he was not worried that the cops would find him and discover that he broke thew by sending street
thugs to stalk people, he would not havee to Irene at all.
“Anyway, just call off the search. Tell them that I came home safely."
"I know," she said, now worried about Lulu.
And Debbie needed to be dealt with too-something would happen eventually if they kept a time bomb
like her around.
“Anyway, still no clue on Lulu at all?” Irene asked.
Ricky hung his head. "No."
Needing time to calm down and think, Irene told him, "Stay here. I''m going out now.”
“Where are you going?"
Irene shot him a re. "To call off the search. Thank goodness I went to the cops when I did, or you''d
be hiding forever."
Ricky promptly slouched.
Irene headed to the precinct and was on the way home when she remembered Ricky''s words, and she
turned around, intending to visit James.
She called Zachary-since Stan Hill was not around, Isaac would definitely have entrusted James in
Zachary''s care.
Being a former doctor, he was the best choice to care for James.

“Hello?”
“It''s me. Which hospital was James Cross admitted to?” Irene asked. “I''m thinking about visiting him.”
Realizing that it was Irene, Zachary replied, “Central Hospital.”
Then, he added, “Let''s meet if you''re freeter?"
“Sure. We''re staying at Rose Garden,” Irene replied. “You know the ce better than I do.”
“Yeah. See you tonight.”
“Yeah,” Irene said, hung up and directed the chauffeur to head to Central Hospital.
After asking for James''s ward, she arrived outside and entered...
