FreeNovelChapter 151 Irene stepped outside her room the instant she hung up, where she found Isaac leaving his
room as well.
Their eyes met, and Isaac spoke first. “Are you going out?”
Irene nodded. “A good friend of mine is in trouble. She asked me to help.”
Seeing that he was heading out as well, she asked, “You too?”
“Yeah.”
Isaac strode off, asking, “Where are you going?”
Irene told him the address after receiving it from Lulu.
Isaac turned around to look at her then. “We’re going to the same place.”
“Eh?” Irene gasped in surprise, though she soon remembered that Zachary and Isaac were close. “Did
Zachary call you?”
“Yeah,” Isaac replied. “Let’s go together.”
Irene nodded, and they left in Isaac’s car.

say.
Eventually, Irene said, “The friend I mentioned is Lulu Adams–she used to be Zachary’s girlfriend.”
Isaac did not actually know much about Zachary’s personal life. From what Irene said, however, it
became clear that the man had been depressed recently because of relationship issues.
“So, are they having a fight?” he asked.
Irene did not know how to put it into words. “Lulu wants to break up with Zachary, but he is refusing to
let her go.”
Isaac remained aloof and did not ask any further questions–he never did poke his nose into others‘
affairs.
Soon, they arrived, and Irene alighted before Isaac did.
Zachary answered the door, and he did not appear surprised to see them show up together. In fact, he
had been right next to Lulu when she called Irene.
Standing aside, he said, “Come in.”
Irene hurried over to Lulu, who was leaning against the couch and had her face buried in her palms.
Dropping to a crouch in front of her, Irene patted her on the back. “Lulu.”
Lulu looked up, and her eyes were red and swollen. Her voice was also very hoarse–she had clearly
been crying for a while. “Get me out of here.”
Irene helped her up to her feet. “Okay.”
It seemed that Lulu was exhausted from crying, and Irene had to help her walk.
“Head back to the mansion,” Isaac said as he gave Irene his car key.
“Thank you,” she said as she took it.
Isaac gave her a look but said nothing.
Once they returned, Irene helped Lulu to the couch and poured her a glass of warm water for her
throat.
As Lulu had a couple sips, Mrs. Watson came and asked, “Is she your friend, Mrs. Jefferson?”
“Yeah.”
“Will she be sleeping here tonight? Mr. Jefferson…‘

She understood why Mrs. Watson seemed uneasy–this was Isaac’s home and he never usually
allowed strangers, so Mrs. Watson was worried that they would fight again.
Naturally, Mrs. Watson was relieved to hear that Isaac knew, and said warmly, “Very well. I shall
prepare a guest room for your friend so that she can get some proper rest.”
“Sorry for the trouble, Mrs. Watson,” Irene replied.
“Oh, it’s no trouble,” Mrs. Watson said, and left.
Meanwhile, Lulu was starting to calm down.
“Are you alright?” Irene asked.
“No,” she replied.
“What happened?”
Lulu did not hold back anything, since Irene was aware of what was going on between her and
Zachary.
“Did you know that Zachary had a blind date at that teahouse?”
Irene nodded as she watched Lulu. “I did. Did it go south because of you?”
