Chapter 120

Thomas didn't know that Irene had changed jobs. When Irene went to visit him that day, it suddenly came to mind that he hadn't seen Jordan in a while. Therefore, he asked Irene, "Why haven't I seen Jordan around recently?" Irene fell silent for a moment before answering, "Uncle Thomas, Jordan is engaged. I also quit my job and found a new one."

"When did this happen?" Thomas asked in surprise.

"It's been a few days," Irene answered.

"That b*stard! Like father, like son! They're both b*stards!" Enraged, Thomas cursed at Jordan.

Thomas had initially thought that Jordan was worthy of Irene, as someone who would protect her all her life. But, he didn't expect that he would be so wrong. The situation now was exactly the same as Malcom and Myra's. Myra was left waiting for Malcom, who married Lydia without any warning nor explanation.

"Don't blame him. I'm the one to blame! It's my fault!" Irene smiled bitterly and filled Thomas in on what had happened.

Hearing that, Thomas sighed heavily. "Irene, that's not how things are. Your mom did not do anything wrong. It's just that... Sigh. Jordan went too far... Forget it, you guys are not fated to be..." Speaking in a low voice, Thomas exhaled deeply again.

"Uncle Thomas, Jordan wasn't the one at fault. Neither was my mother. Malcom was the guilty one. Since he's married, he should shoulder the responsibility he has as a spouse and father. How could he neglect his wife and son?" Irene grew enraged when she remembered the scene of Malcom bringing a rose to Myra's tomb. "He had the gall to show up at my mom's tomb to mourn her, acting like he was still deeply in love. How disgusting!"

Thomas let out another sigh. "When emotions are involved, things become complicated. Malcom might have his own difficulties to deal with."

"Even if he did, how could he be so shameless?" Rage consumed Irene. "Is he completely devoid of common senses and morality?"

When Thomas saw how angry Irene was, he recalled Marie's threat. If Marie told Irene that he wasn't actually Thomas Nelson, what would Irene think? He had a sudden sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach.

After Jordan's engagement, he returned to San Fetillo. When he returned, it struck David right away how much Jordan had changed. He was no longer the playful Jordan he used to be. He had become much more matured and silent.

Internally, David shook his head. No wonder it was said that maturity came after a painful love. Jordan must have truly loved Irene.

On that day, not long after Jordan reached the company, Thomas suddenly came to pay a visit. After leading Thomas to Jordan's office, David tactfully left the office and closed the door behind him.

Jordan stood up and personally served a cup of tea to Thomas, but Thomas did not drink it. Instead, he said, "I just found out that you've gotten engaged, so I came here to congratulate you!" "I'm sorry." Jordan bowed his head.

Thomas was furious. "It's all my fault. I wanted to give Irene happiness, but there was no way for me to just pretend nothing
