The Runaway Groom Chapter 130
Furious, Irene knocked Isaac's hand away. They had already planned to get a room, and he was still pretending as if he cared about her? Right in front of his lover?His talent was wasted as CEO. He should be an actor instead!"You're a liar!" she snapped, and started to run upstairs.However, her foot might have been still too stiff, or she was moving too quickly, or perhaps she was simply too distracted… she almost tripped on the stairs, but caught the scaffolding in time so that she did not actually fall.That left her even more frustrated. Forget making a fool of herself in front of Isaac—she was doing it in front of his lover too!"Stupid mansion!" she snapped grumpily. "They can't even get the design right when they built it!"Isaac stared at her and said, "If you say so. Let's demolish this place and build it in a design you prefer."Irene wheeled on him and shot him a glare.See? He was flirting with her again! "Why do you care? Go to the hotel already!" Irene huffed
The Runaway Groom Chapter 131
Looking into Irene's eyes, Issac told her, "If you still hate me for causing your miscarriage and pushing you off the building, you can curse me and hit me all you will, or demand anything—I will accept everything you ask, but not a divorce."Irene sniffled. "I hate you, but…"But she could not control her own feelings, and fell for him.Biting her lip, she asked, "Don't you care that I've been with other men?""I don't," Isaac replied, because he knew that she was squeaky clean and had given him her first time!Irene made up her mind then. "But… do you mind if I had a child with another man?"If he accepted it, so be it. If he refused to, she would hold no qualms about leaving, so that neither of them would be hurt because they had to stay!On the other hand, Isaac did not catch her hint, and presumed that she was talking about their lost child.His heart sank at the thought, and his chest felt as if it burned. "If your children were still here, I would love them as my own.

Stan was utterly dumbstruck. Really? Was she going that far? Did she really have no will to live, throwing herself into the ocean?"Find her—even if she's dead," Isaac growled just then. He wanted a body even if she was really dead!Stan promptly left and ordered the men to put on their gear for a search effort.Meanwhile, Chad buried his head under his palms. He was still in love with Whitney—he would not have challenged Isaac's wrath to rescue her from prison otherwise. "You're a murderer, Isaac Jefferson!" he bellowed in rage.Isaac's expression was icy, but he did not even glance at Chad. On the other hand, Stan snorted at Chad, knowing that he was messing with the wrong man. "Who murdered her again? She jumped into the sea on her own! Hell, we're going down right now to save her!"Chad's face went red from frustration. "That's not true and you know it!""But it is the truth," Stan said, shrugging at him with a look that basically said 'what-can-you-do-about-that?'

Sheryl then asked casually, "When will you be done over there and come over?""Soon," Irene said after thinking about how things were, before asking hesitantly, "Mom, have you considered coming back instead?""Why?" Sheryl asked. Irene wanted her to meet Lionel Spencer, since he would not survive for long."Who knows, we could actually stay in Cloud City…""Sunny City is quite good," Sheryl retorted just then.In fact, she was getting used to life over here—she had no problems, and just had to help babysit Tommy.Irene did not try to push her, and made up her mind to talk to her about Lionel once they met.After asking more questions about Tommy, she eventually ended the call and headed downstairs—she was feeling a little hungry. She found a cake in the fridge and had a spoonful. The texture was soft and had a buttery sweetness, with a fruity later in between.That was when the doorbell rang. Mrs. Watson was not around, so she put the cake on the table and answered the do

"Hah! Aren't you a smart one?" Samantha did not hide her intentions at all. Despite knowing that Samantha wanted her dead, Irene stayed calm. "You're breaking the law.""I won't leave evidence since I planned to do it," Samantha laughed icily. "Hell, I don't mind getting shot or jailed—I'll make sure that Ricky claims every cent of the Spencer estate. I lose nothing if he lives worry free for the rest of his life! He'll be the sole heir, whether Lionel likes it or not!""Why wouldn't Lionel want to give it to him?" Irene reasoned. "He's Lionel's son—you're being paranoid.""He never cared about Ricky! If he did, he would've divorced your mother long ago!" Naturally, Samantha held a serious grudge against Lionel.What did he take her for? Why did he refuse to make her his legal wife? She just wanted to hold her head high—was it really that wrong? And yet, he insisted on keeping her a mere mistress, subjecting both her and Ricky to all scorn and contempt. "Lionel just wants t

Samantha was left in disbelief. "Cold, aren't you? That's your father, y'know?""My father? He used me like a tool. I was never his daughter!" Irene retorted as she feigned spite.Samantha did not buy it, however. "Aren't you quite close with him now?""Since when?" Irene shot back."Weren't you two being very polite at the hospital the other day? You even thanked him after you got him a specialist's help—you knew he's dying soon, so you were trying to earn his favor and get a share of his estate, weren't you?" Samantha exclaimed as if she had just gained an epiphany. Irene did not bring her phone because she left in a hurry, and had no choice just then. Her foot had just recovered, and she would really become cripple if she jumped! Right now, she had to wait and see where Samantha was taking her, and then try to come up with a plan after that. Jumping out of the car was not a good plan!Seeing that she was staying put, Samantha chuckled. "Now, that's better."Irene laughed
The Runaway Groom Chapter 136
Irene tamely followed the tanned, skinny man, who started to let down his guard since she was compliant. He undid his belt, while urging Irene to undress! Irene appeared to play along, but even as she did, she was looking around for anything she could use as a weapon.There were only rocks and weeds around, but she spotted a sharp rock that she could use. Stamping on the grass as if to make it even, she said, "Just making sure it's not too rough to lie down on."The tanned man was not wary at all, and even praised her for being such a tease. Irene flashed a smile that did not reach her eyes. "How about you take off your clothes and lay them on the ground?""Fine." He was getting undressed anyway, and was actually delighted that she would say that.Irene, however, picked up that sharp rock while he took off his shirt. Gripping it tightly and sneaking close to the man, she smashed it as hard as she could on his jugular, catching him unawares and sending blood spurting.The man

Although Samantha was in a good mood, she did not know that Irene survived.Irene was a good swimmer, and where she landed was deep enough to break her fall.She was not familiar with the area and wanted to get ashore, but did not do so immediately since Samantha might still be around.The skies were brightening a little when a light suddenly flashed on her, and someone called out, "There's someone here!"Irene was startled. 'Is it Samantha?'She swam as fast as she could, but was quickly overtaken by a boat. "Whitney? Is that you?" Chad called out, and frowned in disappointment to see that it was not when a light caught Irene's face.Stan and his men had left the boat, confident that Whitney was dead since they did not find her after an entire night. Chad was searching as well, but there was no sign of her, and there was not much chance of her surviving. He fell to despair."Are you swimming here?" he asked. He was puzzled since this was no place to swim, and the beach
