Chapter 474
James furrowed his brow. 'What are you laughing at? Did you lose your mind?"
Harvey was staring at his left eye, however. "Are you trying to turn into a panda, with one black eye?"
James raised his hand to hide his bruised eye while glaring at Harvey with the other. "Seeing that you helped me
before, I won't hold this against you. But you should know that I have a temper, and don't complain that I never
warned you when you mock me again.”
"I helped you?" Harvey was a little confused.
When did he help James, and with what? How did it manage to slip his mind?
’Are you sure about that...?"
"Don’t bother. I won't remember it even if it was a huge favor-you laughed at me, so we're even. Now buzz off."
With that, James headed toward Isaac's room, leaving Harvey speechless.
He doubted that he would help James out of the kindness of his heart.
Still, he glanced at the time. "Oh, it's almost seven."
He still had to head to Irene's apartment-he did not have anytime to waste here.

brought her-she probably did not like the local food.
When he rushed to Irene's apartment, however, she was just about to leave.
"Have you eaten breakfast?" he asked.
Irene stared at him, and then at the food he brought.
"I did," she lied, but she had not actually eaten and was going to have some on the way to the hospital.
And the reason she lied was because she did not want Harvey to do so much for her.
Harvey was more or less disappointed. "Actually, I ran into James Cross earlier. He must have been messing around
and he got a black eye for it too, so I ended up wasting my time chatting with him. I'll come earlier tomorrow-"
"Harvey, I've told you-you don’t have to do this." She tried to turn him down again.
Harvey, however, told her, "It's up to you whether you accept me, but whether I want to keep wooing you is my
business."
Irene ignored that. "I'm going to work, or I'm going to be late."
"I'm coming with you," Harvey said.
However, just as he was going to throw the food into a bin, Irene stopped him. "Don't."
It was such a waste!
"Why would I keep it for? You've already eaten,” Harvey argued.
Irene snapped, "It isn't good to waste food. I've already eaten, but wasting is still terrible. Just give it to me."
Harvey happily did so. "I'll drive you to the hospital. You can eat along the way."
Irene nodded.
In the car, Irene opened the box to find her favorite Zidonian delicacies inside.
'Where did you get this?" she asked, even as she stuffed a pie in her mouth.
Harvey said, "My hotel's breakfast menu includes Zidonian delicacies."
"Oh, I see."
As Harvey drove, he asked casually just to kill time, "Did you know that Spencer Holdings went bankrupt?"
"What?!" Irene looked up right then-she certainly was not aware. "What happened?!’
"I don't know, but what I heard was that your mom moved to Isaac's home after you 'died' to take care of your son.
As for Ricky, I don't even know how he got his company bankrupt."
Irene suddenly found the pie in her mouth tasteless.
Her eyes welled with tears-she had been so selfish she never thought about her mother or brother.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Didn't Isaac try to help Ricky?" Irene asked.
Ricky was still young, and it was almost natural for him to mess up.
Even so, Isaac could have helped Ricky since he was more or less family. Since Sheryl was taking care of Tommy, he
could at least offer some assistance to honor Irene's departed soul, or to repay Sheryl's favor in taking care of
Tommy.
Naturally, Harvey would not miss another chance to badmouth Isaac and to offer a favor. "He doesn't consider
them his family now that you're gone, and he's too busy to get involved with your brother's business anyway...
That said, I can help you find out what happened with Spencer Holdings."
Irene was certainly eager to find out. "Thank you."
"It's fine." Harvey smiled.
While Mead Clinic was close to Irene's apartment, the research center was in a separate building that was quite far
away. All researchers worked different shifts between the hospital and the research center as well.
As Irene aligned and got in the hospital, the chief summoned her to his office the instant she entered.
"Someone is asking for you," he told her.
