Chapter 408
Irene stared at her phone after texting Isaac, expecting a reply.
However, she did not receive anything even as the car drove into the front porch.
Irene tried to tell herself that he was busy, just to seek some solace..
Nonetheless, Isaac was actually busy, and he was in a spacious conference room that could accommodate over a
hundred people with dozens of executives.
Many of them were foreigners, but they were all fidgeting despite being seated.
While Remy had been founded recently, they had many of Light Group’s profitable business and projects. Moreover,
with Isaac’s sharp sense in commerce and the trends of the market, his precise investment and exceptional
judgment elevated Remy as a trustworthy investor in no time at all, and was making waves among their circles.
In fact, one showbiz company that he invested in scouted up to four internet celebrities. Within two years, they built
fanbases for themselves which numbered up to dozens of millions, but the executives of the company remained an

After all, it was unnecessary for Isaac to present himself publicly for something like that. His executives could
handle the day–to–day administrative tasks, and Isaac would only get involved in vital decisions or company
strategizing.
Remy also held the majority of the shares in Bramble Automotive, an automobile company which Isaac invested in
back when he was CEO of Light Group. He had always held them in high esteem, and after years of hard work and
development, they forged a flagship brand as a producer of luxury electrical automobiles and traditional
automobiles, and some of their models included KST5, KST6, KST7, WS1, and WS2. Just last year, they launched an
IPO on the New York Stock Exchange as well.
Remy’s investment in medical research had significant developments as well, and today’s meeting involved the
executives of various main companies and its branches.
One of Isaac’s main priorities in traveling aboard was also to meet the various heads of departments, and he had
no time to check his phone in the five–hour meeting, not to mention that he left it in his office.
Even as she showered, Irene kept her phone near her in the bathroom, worried that she would miss a reply from
Isaac.
However, hours had passed since she was done showering, and she still did not receive a reply.
She could not begin to describe her bitterness.
Sliding her phone beneath her pillow, she tried to stop herself from thinking about it, but her mind refused. -he was
all she could think about.
She was left clenching on her blanket and throwing it over her head, and tried her damndest to think about
anything else.
That was when her phone chimed
Her breath seemed to leave her lungs right then, and she quickly reached under her pillow to take her phone out…
only to see the reply: [Yeah.]
She stared at it without tapping on it–what was that one–word reply supposed to mean? To tell her that he saw her
message?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEven if she understood why he was being distant, she could not help feeling heartache.
As she put down her phone, she suddenly wondered if Isaac would dump her after Yvaine’s death.
His coldness certainly pointed to that.
Irene was left clutching her head as her thoughts were a mess.
It was yet another sleepless night.
She did not text Isaac over the next two days, and nothing came over the other end either.
It was now the day of Zachary’s wedding, but Isaac still did not tell her if he was returning.
Irene put on heavy makeup before she left, to hide her weary face that was a result of her losing sleep recently.
Her long dark hair was tied up carelessly, though the dangling lock beside her ear added a gentle look.
She put on a sky blue gown that hugged her body and accentuated her figure, matched with a simple pair of heels
that bared her dainty, fair feet. It was a conservative, polite appearance that would not steal the limelight from the
bride.
It would certainly earn her full marks as an attendee.
When she arrived at the venue and alighted, she saw another car stopping just as she was about to go in.
Isaac alighted then alighted, and his eyes quickly found her.
Irene actually panicked just then, and was left clenching on her skirt as her throat suddenly turned dry.
Although she did her best to stay calm, her voice choked with tears the instant she spoke. “Welcome back.”
