She did not know Sam all that well, as he had been overseas the entire time and though he would occasionally return home during holidays, he had only come back once a year ever since he entered university.

Before Lucas was brought back into the fold of the Woods family, Sam was the one member of the family who was willing to speak to Irene. She usually kept to the back kitchen, and Sam would often enter the kitchen to talk to her.

"Are you that scared of him, Irene?" Sam sat down on the couch. "Is he mistreating you? I can talk to Father..."

"Don't say that Mr. Sam. Mr. Lucas has treated me kindly." Irene realized that Sam was trying to divide her and Lucas. Since Lucas was hot-tempered, she did not want to be the person to trigger a fight between the two siblings.
