The Runaway Groom Chapter 229
As Irene followed Isaac out of the container, Ian rushed to the scene, having heard the commotion.He glowered when he saw that Isaac had saved his wife and child. "How did you get here?"He was convinced that Isaac would never find this place—he was too used to Stan's style in reconnaissance, which had helped him elude them thus far.That naturally left him confused—if he had managed to stay out of Stan's range, how did they get here?!Robin remembered something then, and turned toward Irene. "It was you, wasn't it? You were fiddling with your phone on the way here. Did you leak our location?"Ian snarled right then, "You ruined all my hard work!""Hard work?" Irene glared at him icily. "You deserve what's coming at you for all that you've done!"Robin realized that she had ruined Ian's plan, and felt sorry for him while she glared at Irene with spite. If she had not naively believed Irene and gotten exploited as a result, Ian's plan would not have fallen through, and his casi

As the sirens approached, the gamblers who had been entranced heard it and ran out of the containers, and swarmed toward Ian when they saw him."Why are the coast guard coming?" they demanded.They knew that they were involved in a crime, and they were naturally worried about getting caught. "Just shut up if you don't want to get caught," Ian growled angrily, and carved a path through the crowd as he made his way to Isaac. "Things won't end well for you once word of this gets out. Don't forget—I'm your family. Aren't you afraid of ruining the reputation of the illustrious Jefferson dynasty?"Though he owned this illegal casino, everyone knew who he was! If he was indicted and once word got out, Isaac would not fare any better?Isaac remained indifferent, his lips curling up with disdain and callousness. "What does that have to do with me?"He might be a Jefferson, but after seeing that Henry had come aboard without lifting a finger to save Irene or his child, he no longer had

The doctor almost jumped in shock from Isaac’s glare, and asked gingerly, "There's formula milk available over at the pediatrics. Why don't we go there?"Irene nodded. However, Tommy refused to drink the formula milk from the hospital. He was bawling so hard, he was almost rasping.Realizing that it could be the issue of the formula milk, Irene was forced to take him home to the Spencer mansion."Is he sick?'Beside himself with worry, Isaac was absolutely on edge on the journey. He kept urging Jimmy the chauffeur to drive faster. That put Jimmy on edge as well, but he did his best on the congested road, all the while driving as safely as he could. It was after quite a while when they reached the Spencer Mansion. Sheryl was nowhere to be seen, while Ricky was at work.Once inside, Irene handed Tommy to Isaac. "I'm going to heat some milk for Tommy."Tommy must be crying so much because he was hungry, and Irene was too anxious to care if Isaac knew how to hold a baby or not.

Isaac stood, tall and towering."Yes," he replied, having no intention of apologizing.Henry scowled—being advanced in age, he cared much about kinship.However, he cared about the family's reputation more. He had given all of the family's estate to Isaac to appease the latter, but in actual truth, his chief interest was maintaining their reputation. What happens in the family should stay in the family—he had been constantly worried that Isaac would expose the family's dirty deeds to the public's attention.He rarely tried to throw the weight of his seniority onto Isaac, but now, he asked, "Do you understand what you've done?"It was a rare instance, but Isaac pursed his lips coldly and growled in dissatisfaction; it came from the bottom of his heart. "Grandfather, you knew Ian took my child and my woman, but you didn’t tell me. I was going to ask you why. Do you agree with his actions, or were you a part of it?"Henry was stunned. "H-How did you know?!"Henry thought that h

Irene raised a brow, clearly doubting Isaac’s words.Henry wouldn’t call him twice if it was 'nothing'.Still, she knew shouldn’t ask if he did not want to tell."Don't you have work?""No."He walked up to her and wrapped his arms around her, and tightened his embrace when she tried to struggle."Don't. Let me hold you for a moment—that's all I ask."Irene stopped struggling, her heart skipping a beat.She was still sitting on the bed even as he held her, and her face was against his waist.She could sense that he was dispirited for some reason, and couldn’t help wrapping her arms around his waist. Concerned, she asked, "What's wrong?"Isaac said nothing, but he was brushing his fingers over her hair. There was only warmth in his heart when he held her, and he felt like he was actually standing on solid ground."I'm so thankful you were the one that night," he suddenly said softly.Irene, however, stiffened. This was the first time they spoke about it after that revelation

Isaac asked, "Is this a photo of you?"Irene nodded firmly. "Yeah… When I was around seven, if I remember correctly."Isaac couldn’t help laughing at that.Irene scowled, feeling like she was being mocked. "What's so funny?"Isaac passed her the photo. "Are you sure this is you?"Irene was left speechless the instant she saw it. Tommy was in the photo, not her."My mom must’ve changed it," she explained.It had to be Sheryl. No one else would do it! Isaac's gaze followed the photo as Irene put it on the drawer again. "Come back to the mansion with me, Irene.""Okay," she replied after a brief hesitation.Footsteps could soon be heard, and they could hear Sheryl calling out, "Irene? Are you home?"Irene promptly got to her feet—she felt a little guilty, perhaps because Isaac was in the room with her.Even though there was no reason to feel guilty…"Mom," Irene called out.Hearing her voice, Sheryl arrived at the door, asking, "Have you found Tommy?"Sheryl was surprised
The Runaway Groom Chapter 235
Irene was at a loss for words—why did she have to go to Isaac’s office with him?"How could you be so childish?" She was at once tired and amused.Somehow, a man as indomitable as him could be adorable…Although the journey was quiet as they headed to Sky Group's headquarters, the mood between them was relaxed, even a little sweet—as if they were dating.Arriving downstairs, Isaac parked the car and said, "Come on. Let's get you a drink since you're here anyway. Irene was speechless.She could tell what he was going to say later: you already had a drink, so just stay and we could leave work together later.He couldn’t get more childish than that, but Irene felt a little happy inside at the thought of how clingy he was being. Taking the elevator straight to his office on the top floor, Isaac told Debbie the secretary as they walked past her desk, "Two coffees, please.""I can get them." Irene smiled. "How do you take yours?"Debbie butted in, saying, "Dark."Isaac gave Debb

Kathy was stunned. While she did come here on her own volition, she never expected to run into Irene here.Even so, she did not lay a finger on Irene!"I—"Isaac didn’t bother to listen to Kathy. "Debbie, see her out.""Yes, Mr. Jefferson."Debbie the secretary stepped in front of Kathy right then and gestured, "Please."Kathy tried to explain. "I didn't touch her!"Isaac simply ignored Kathy and turned away with Irene still in his arms, though he soon paused. "If this happens again, you won't be working for this company anymore."Kathy felt a chill running down her spine.She had done so much, yet Isaac still had no interest in her.Plus, Irene's provocation actually worked?Isaac himself had chased Irene away from his mansion! How did that woman return and seduce him? What tricks did Irene use to make him favor her so much?Kathy was absolutely livid!…As Isaac returned inside his office with Irene, he picked up some tissues and helped her wipe the coffee stains on her
