Chapter 735
Irene's appearance surprised everyone.
They were all briefly stunned, but they soon turned toward Finn.
"How did you know it's actually here?"
None of them told him, after all.
Finn was just going to say that Yolanda told them, but Irene spoke before he could. "Is it really that hard for me to
find out?'
Yolanda just arrived, and heard her-she realized right then that she should not have spoken in front of Finn. After all,
the boy did not understand the politics involved and would admit the truth straightaway.
If everyone else found out that she was the one who talked, they would definitely give her a wide berth.
Meanwhile, Irene slowly approached the crowd, her gaze sweeping across those who just spoke nonchalantly. "You
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtknow who Isaac is to me. Of course he'll find out what I want to know."
Dennis walked up to her then. "Come, Irene. Sit with me."
Irene sat beside him naturally, while the people who were quite enthusiastic moments ago stopped moving and
stayed silent.
Irene smiled. "Why are you standing there? Come on, sit."
They appeared cowed, but sat down nonetheless.
"I know you all doubt me, and as such, I'll accept any challenge. I'll give up my post if I lose," Irene said.
Dennis turned toward her. "Are you that confident?"
Irnee shook her head-she was not, but proving herself was the only way to make them shut up.
She had nothing to lose if they beat her anyway, since it just proved that her ability was lacking and that she should
not take the post.
"Are you serious?" someone asked.
"Of course," Irene replied. "You can pick the date, too-anytime except today."
Fine. Tomorrow it is."
They had numbers on their side, and each of them had their own specialty.
"Only three of you get to compete," Dennis said just then.
He knew his employees best, and that Irene would definitely lose if they all got to challenge her.
Three, on the other hand, would not be difficult.
Since no one spoke, Dennis said, "What, you all want a go at her? Don't you get embarrassed, bullying one person
while you're many? Three is already plenty, so why are you being quiet? Do you think you can't win?"
"No."
"Then, what is it?"
"...Fine."
"Good. Then that's decided," Dennis said, smacking the table.

toast. "Thank you for acknowledging me. I'll work hard so that you won't be disappointed."
"Of course, of course," Dennis chuckled. "I trust you, or I wouldn't have sought you up."
After they clinked glasses and Irene put hers away, more people came to speak with Dennis.
He would have to drink a lot if they came one-by-one, and so, he called for a toast collectively as the atmosphere
eased up.
The farewell party ended at midnight, and it was not an occasion where one left early.
Irene's chauffeur arrived to get her when she left. She only drank one glass, but her cheeks were red even if she
was not drunk.
The chauffeur also told her that Ricky Spencer left the hospital after he woke up.
"I see," she replied as she got into the car. "Let's go home."
Ricky needed time to calm down anyway.
After they reached home, she suddenly got a call, and she answered it to a stranger's voice!
"Come over right now!"
