Chapter 605 There Is a Mole

Irene signaled for silence by putting a finger to her lips, causing Mary to cover her mouth and cry silently.

Irene took out her phone and called a number, but it took a while before someone picked up.

When the call was finally answered, it was Ainsley's cold and emotionless voice on the other end. "Irene, I know it's you."

"You're not entirely stupid,’ Irene sneered as she handed the phone to Mary. "Mary has something to tell you.’

Mary promptly stated, "Ms. Easton, I won't try to reopen the case. Please don't bother me again. Nancy's death was a tragedy, but we must move on.'

Irene took back the phone and taunted, "Did you hear that?"

Ainsley mocked, "Irene, so it was really you who took them away, but do you really think it's over now?”

Irene chuckled. "Did you really think that's all there is to my way of dealing with things? And don't think you've won just because Manuel is on your side, Ainsley. While he may be a big deal in Seattle, there are always people more powerful than him."

Ainsley sneered. "So, you're implying that you still have some allies?"

"Maybe they are my accomplices, or maybe my foes, but what I'm certain of is that they are against you," Irene snickered.

"If you happen to know who they are,” Ainsley said coldly, "do me a favor and let them know that even if they choose not to come forward, I will still find them, and it would be best if they do it willingly. But that's not your concern, actually. You've done so much in secret. Now, let's see if you can really win forever."

"Well then, I'll be waiting to see what you have in store," said Irene, her face devoid of emotion, before hanging up the phone.

Mary wiped her tears and pleaded with Irene, "Ms. Wade, I've said everything you wanted me to say. Can you please let us go now? I promise I won't bring up the case again."

Irene felt angry at Mary's cowardly behavior. Despite her daughter's tragic situation, she chose to remain silent for the sake of her own interests.
