"I have nothing to talk to you." Isaac's tone was impatient. He pushed away Lucho and was about to go downstairs.
"Don't you want to know what has happened to your mother?"
Isaac suddenly stopped and looked at Lucho with his eyes narrowed, as if he wanted to figure out whether he was talking nonsense or not.
Lucho raised his eyebrows and glanced at the tearoom next to him, "Come with me."
Isaac followed him and closed the door after entering the room. Then he couldn't wait to ask, "What has happened to my mother?"
This time, Lucho didn't ask Isaac to sit down like he did last time. Seeing that Isaac was so nervous, he sat down leisurely and looked very relaxed, "Why are you so worried? Anyway, she won't die."
"Are you going to tell me or not?"
"Why are you yelling at me? Since you're so capable, why didn't you roar at dad just now? What's the point of roaring at me?"
Isaac's eyes were red. He wanted to rush forward, grab Lucho's collar and punch him severely.
"Or..." Lucho looked at Isaac, "Let's make a deal?"
Isaac narrowed his eyes, "Don't beat about the bush!"
"If you give up working in Bai Company, I'll tell you." As Lucho said this, he took out a folder, "I've got the contents ready. All you need to do is sign your name here."
Hearing this, Isaac suddenly laughed. If he still didn't know why Lucho had called him here, he would be too silly. Lucho just wanted to let him sign the document with this excuse. In fact... he didn't know if his mother was all right.
Well... he was just too worried. Maxwell wouldn't let others know much about what he had done, because he didn't want to get into troubles.
"It seems that what I said those words to you in vain. Don't worry. I won't change my mind."
"You don't even care about your mother's life?"
Isaac looked at him blandly, "If I sign the contract, will you be able to save my mother?"
Lucho didn't expect Isaac to say so. He was taken aback and then shook his head, "Of course I can't."
"Ha-ha."
"However, she seems to be ill. Yesterday, I heard that dad asked a doctor to see her. She is seriously ill, and she is about to die."
"What did you say?"
Lucho raised his chin, "Just sign it. If you sign it, I can speak for her in front of dad."
Isaac clenched his fists and gave Lucho a mocking smile. Then, he turned around and walked out of the door.
Lucho immediately stood up, "You really don't care her? You're really a filial son!"
Isaac put his hand on the door handle, but he did not look back, "I can't believe what you said."
By the time Issac came back, the sky had already darkened.
When he opened the door, he found that the lights were on.
Isaac changed his shoes and came in. He saw Adele eating noodles on the dining table alone.
It was just a bowl of egg noodles. He glanced at it and asked, "Are there any noodles left?"
Adele stopped eating and replied in a muffled voice without looking up, "No."
Isaac pulled a chair and sat down, "Then... could you please cook some noodles for me?"
Should she tell him?
After thinking for a while, she picked up the phone and went to the study.
"Hello? Isaac!"
Adele was dumbfounded for a moment and then heard James's voice again.
She looked down and suddenly felt a little helpless. She didn't know how she pressed the answer button. What should she do at this time? Although she didn't mean to answer the phone call, would Isaac think so?
After hesitating for two seconds, she simply put the mobile phone close to her ear. Anyway, she had answered it. Moreover, James seemed to be very anxious. Could it be something about Isaac? That day, he...
"Why don't you speak? I've been talking to you for a long time, okay?" James said on the phone.
Adele didn't speak and remained silent.
"You... Forget it. I know you must be in a bad mood now."
The place between Adele's eyebrows twitched and she listened more attentively.
"I met Ben just now, and I've just left his house. He hasn't called you yet, has he? I just want to tell you. Don't be too worried now. You are useful to Maxwell, so he won't give up your mother. Even if you are worried, it's useless, isn't it? You can't see your mother and don't know what has happened. You..."
"Alas! She is not in good health and has been imprisoned by Maxwell for a long time. As for this matter... Richard and his friends invented something new. If possible, you will get some news about her in these few days."
"You'd better hurry up and carry out your plan. Madelyn may make trouble for you. But don't worry! Ben and I are your strong backings."
"Well... if you're really in a bad mood, how about coming out and having a drink with us? I'll call Ben and Richard out, and you can ask them about the details by the way. Of course, the details are just like what I said."
"Hello? Isaac? Why don't you speak? Do you want me..." Before James finished his words, he changed his words with certainty, "You are not Isaac! You are..."
