Chapter 285

How could Irene possibly be here?

Hadn't Brian already shipped her off overseas?

Panic surged through Nathan. He'd been planning everything so carefully: once the whole family was abroad, he would buy a gun, wait for the right moment, and eliminate Irene-tie up every loose end for good.

But now, before he could even set foot on a plane, Irene was standing right in front of him, very much alive.

That bastard Brian had sworn up and down that Irene was being kept under strict house arrest at the estate, that there was no possible way for her to escape.

Nathan's gaze flickered nervously. But when his eyes landed on Jarrod and Karin Cole, realization struck like a bolt of lightning. Of course it had to be the Cole couple who smuggled Irene back.

Right now, both Jarrod and Karin were glaring at him with naked hostility, their eyes burning with unspoken accusations.

Nathan's heart plummeted. He suddenly understood: Irene must have told them everything.

A cold sweat broke out across his forehead. He didn't dare meet the Coles' eyes and quickly looked away, feigning indifference.
