Ricky hid his phone under his blanket, and moved so quickly that neither Irene nor Sheryl noticed it.Sheryl walked up to the food she left on the bedside shelf. "You must be hungry, right? Come have some breakfast."As she spoke, she unboxed the food she had cooked meticulously. "I'm not hungry. Can I be alone for a while?" Ricky's expression and tone was flat, but he didn’t appear too miserable.Sheryl tried to talk to him, but Irene stopped her. "Let's give him some space, Mom."As such, Sheryl restrained herself. However, she told Ricky, "I'll leave everything here. Eat it when you're hungry."Ricky did not respond, however, leaving her sighing. "Alright," Irene said as she pulsed Sheryl along. "Take your time, Ricky."Closing the door behind her, she told Sheryl, "Ricky needs time to accept reality. He won't be eating, but don't try to be pushy. Samantha’s his mother, and being unable to take it is normal."Sheryl understood. "I'm just worried about his health. He's sti
The Runaway Groom Chapter 269
Stan had to pass Quincy’s message to Isaac, who stopped and turned to stare at him. "What?!"Stan repeated Quincy's message, and asked, "What would she want with Kathy?"Isaac held out his hand. "Give me the phone."Stan did so, and he asked coldly, "What do you want?"Quincy went straight to the point. "I heard Kathy saved you from drowning that one time. Everything you owned now would’ve been my son's if you died back then—did you think I'd spare her after she ruined my schemes?""What do you want?" Isaac repeated. "Cutting to the chase already? Good. Since Kathy saved you, she must be important to you, right? So let's make an exchange—Kathy for my son. How about that?"After Quincy had met Kathy, she found out that Kathy was fond of Isaac, and they had agreed to work together.As she carried out her scheme, Quincy remembered that she could use this to force Isaac to make an exchange, and save her own son."Your son isn’t with me," Isaac said, while giving Stan a look—the l

Isaac left without pausing for a moment, even as Kathy started to bawl behind him.Stan was puzzled.Isaac wasn’t heartless, especially to those who helped him."Mr. Jefferson?" Stan called out in uncertainty. Isaac finally paused just as his fingers reached his car door handle. "Tell Quincy I won't interfere if she rescued his son."He was unmoved before, because he believed that the whole thing was an act—that Quincy and Kathy were working together.And they certainly were—Quincy had even promised Kathy that she would be untouched.Naturally, it was just deception on Quincy's part; she knew that if they wanted Isaac to believe them, a mere act would never be convincing.The instant Kathy agreed to play along, she was going to be deflowered. Stan quickly returned inside the house, but he was already too late—Kathy was wailing tragically even as he passed Isaac's message.Quincy was laughing, as if she knew this would happen. "Why walk away in the first place?"As she ente

Isaac certainly wanted Quincy Moore, but he wasn’t that impulsive."It'd just dirty our hands," he growled after weighing his options. "Let's go."Stan quietly got in his car and left.They took Kathy to the hospital. She wasn’t hurt, but she would still need a checkup and some comforting after what had happened. Since Isaac had always been cold to her, she was actually surprised that he was suddenly so kind and caring.As she sat on her bed, she didn’t forget what Quincy told her—act miserable and tragic to curry sympathy."I can't live like this… Sob…""Such a shame," Isaac said impassively.Kathy looked up. "W-What is?""You have a pretty face, and you could’ve married an upstanding man. I wonder who’d want you now?" Then, deliberately giving her a look of disdain, "Did you really think I’d fall for you after what happened?"Crash!The dream Quincy envisioned for Kathy shattered right there and then.Isaac was right—what man would like an immodest woman? Even if he

Isaac wheeled on Kathy with an icy glare.She flinched, and quickly let go of him.His severe expression faded, and he said, "I’ll let you keep your job.""Really?" Kathy exclaimed in disbelief."If Quincy asked…""I got it," Kathy said, her mind suddenly sharp. "I’ll tell her that you are warming up to me.""Good," Isaac said.Kathy then asked, "How will I get my revenge?""Win her trust. I’ll slowly teach you how to get back at her.""Really?" Kathy asked stupidly."Of course."Kathy was certainly overjoyed, so much that she was forgetting what had happened just hours ago.Nearby, Stan was raising a brow—is Isaac going to use Kathy against Quincy?One must say that his method of turning Quincy's scheme against her was devastating! "Take your time to get better," Isaac said, and left. Stan followed Isaac and asked softly, "Sir, she did save you before… Using her like this is a little cruel, don't you think?"Isaac glanced at him and snorted. "Does she deserve anythin

Ricky looked up abruptly, his eyes widened in surprise after he scanned through the agreement."What…?""Our father wanted you in charge of Spencer Holdings anyway," Irene told him. "He didn’t give it to you right away because he's worried about your lack of experience. I went to check on things today, and it's obvious you’ve proven yourself. Plus, I'm too busy since I have to take care of Tommy. So, I'm handing the company to you right now. You know I was never interested anyway—my lifelong ambition is to be a doctor."Irene simply wanted Ricky to know that she had no intent on keeping Spencer Holdings for herself, and that she would not meddle once he took over.Still, Ricky was actually suspicious instead of happy that she was giving him Spencer Holdings at this time, and wondered what her intention was.Was it because she knew Isaac had murdered his mother, and the company was given to appease him? "I'm still young, Irene. Dad wanted you to manage it, so you do it," he said,

Isaac was in the photo, along with Kathy! They were standing outside a hospital ward, with Kathy holding the hem of Isaac's jacket—he had turned around, so his expression could not be seen.Irene did not flip out when she saw the photo, since the fact that she was sent it made one thing clear: someone wanted her to see it.Their objective was also obvious—they wanted a misunderstanding between her and Isaac.Thus, Irene refused to jump to conclusions and decided to listen to what Isaac had to say instead. Though she blackened the screen and turned to look outside the car, her mood soured by the minute. Suddenly, she seemed to forget entirely about Ricky. The photo was all she could think about.Although the rational part of her mind insisted that someone was deliberately attempting to drive a wedge between her and Isaac, the emotional side of her mind was still worried.After all, Kathy was beautiful… And why was she tugging at Isaac's clothes?Nonetheless, she was soon bac

Taking Irene’s hand in his, Isaac said, "Is there anything you want? I can give it to you."Irene giggled, "Don't worry. I’ll get my one pound of flesh." Then, she steered the conversation away while acting casual, asking, "Where have you been today?""The office, of course." Isaac grinned, since she rarely asked him about his whereabouts. "What, worried about me?""Of course. I was worried you'd have an affair," Irene replied.Isaac chuckled softly in amusement.Irene shot him a glare. "What's so funny?""I just liked it that you asked. That's all," he replied.Irene was left speechless for a moment, and then suddenly remembered something else. "I've put together an agreement to hand Spencer Holdings over to Ricky. He's alone now that Samantha’s gone, and I hope that the company would encourage him to keep himself together—maybe he’d forget his misery if he's busy."She thought it necessary to Isaac.They had now decided to live together, and be involved in each others' l
