Chapter 469

Having hatched a plan in her head, Erin was feeling buoyed and refrained from bugging James.

Clasping her hands behind her back, she was grinning even as she left.She found a potential means of
breakthrough, so it was not as if the day was wasted.

On the other hand, James was feeling less than happy.

Even as he kept walking, he was looking behind to check that he was not being followed, worried that
Erin would latch on to him again.

If she did, it would be a catastrophe!

Later in the evening, James got a call from Irene.

“It's Dr. Tanner. Is the patient free at the moment? I can help him with the treatment now.”

"Of course," James replied. "We're at Olston Hotel, Room 909.”

“Okay,” Irene said and put away her phone.

She stood in front of her mirror, checking her disguise and ensuring that it was flawless before heading
over.

At the same time, James headed to Isaac's room to inform him, "Sir, Dr. Tanner will soon arrive for your
treatment."

Isaac was sitting on the couch with his laptop on his lap. He just happened to read the last email and
casually threw it aside, leaning back and rubbing the bridge of his nose, appearing quite tired.



Since he left James behind because Erin was latching herself to him, James had no idea how
negotiations with the Raideens went.

"Did the talks go well?’ he asked.

"More or less,” Isaac replied flatly.

Even if they had leverage against the Raideens, they should not threaten them on the outset.

A hard sell would lead to resistance and the outcome might not be ideal for both sides.

They were all businessmen, and they were all in it for the money.

It was therefore just a question of balancing the carrot and the stick mastering that, and one would earn
leverage against anything.

Handshakes and armistices brought greater profits, not burning bridges.

"That's better than I thought.” James was naturally surprised.

Isaac gave him a look, and said, ‘TH be working with Wes, and the Raideens ' representative agreed
that they would join us as a partner.”

“Oh?” James gasped in surprise, though he soon understood.

The Raideens made their fortune with oil, and having Wes of Duran joining them was a jackpot.

It would even be reason enough for them to offer a cut of Mead Clinic shares.

Tit for tat had always been a common gimmick in business.

Ding dong.



The doorbell rang just then, and James went to open the door.

Since he had seen Jane Tanner's true face too, the image appeared in his mind once more when he
saw her again.

Still, he stood aside to make way. "Come in.”

lrene's leather shoes had flat heels, and she also had white socks matched with an old-fashioned floral
print skirt on, along with a clean shawl.

It was a ridiculous getup, but there was no helping it-she wanted to treat Isaac without being
recognized.

That was why she did her best to mess up, to the point where not even her mother would recognize
her.

James clearly noticed that she was ‘dressed up’ for the occasion, and wondered if she had fallen for
Isaac already.

Still, it did amuse him that someone so ugly was after Isaac, though he could not laugh out loud.

It almost hurt to keep it in.

"I'll get things started now.” Irene headed to the bathroom and filled the tub with hot water, before taking
out a pack of herbal medicine and pouring it into the tub as well.

She had concocted the medicine beforehand, and it took minutes before the tub was full.

She put a palm into the bath, and seeing that it was just the right temperature, she kept watch as the
medicine spread in the water, dyeing the tub dark brown. It also filled the bathtub with a faint herbal
scent, though it was easy on the nose.



Outside the bathroom, James slid up to Isaac's side. "Mr. Jefferson, I think Dr. Tanner deliberately put
on extra makeup. I mean, she's put on so much makeup that it looks like she’s scrubbed it like a wall...
it's so white it's scary. Moreover, she won't cheat on you, don't you think?”

Isaac shot him an icy glare. "Do you need to get your head checked?

"Hehe... I'm just worried. I mean, you're quite the ladykiller..."

"I've been too lenient on you lately, I see." Isaac wrinkled his brow.

“Of course not. Anyway, I'll be going now-take a nice little break, sir." James hurried off, worried about
getting caught and forced to stay.

"Mr. Jefferson?" Irene stepped out of the bathroom and said, "You can come in now.”

James paused at the doorway just then and heard, "Please take off your clothes.”

James felt the creeps right then.

Take off his clothes? Did she mean get naked?!
