The Runaway Groom Chapter 293
Although he had always been in charge, Isaac somehow felt uneasy—even though they had been together for a while and long since familiar with each other's bodies.However, as Irene was going to take off his pants, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed for some reason!"I can do it myself," he said, taking the pants off her hands.Irene giggled when she noticed that his ears were flushed.Goodness! He actually felt awkward and embarrassed, after he had been so clingy with her and acting as shameless as he had been? And now, he was suddenly an innocent, self-conscious pubescent boy?"Isaac…" Though Irene hid her lips behind a palm, she was shaking with laughter!Isaac feigned composure as he growled, "Is it really that funny?""Yeah," Irene said after taking a moment to calm herself. "It really surprised me."Left speechless, he cleared his throat to hide his embarrassment and threw the pants at her, snapping like a tsundere, "Help me wear it"Irene stared at him. "Are you sure

Irene quickly rose to her feet, asking Ricky, "You're hurt! Why did you come here? What's with that look?"Ricky's eyes were welling with tears, and he appeared unable to speak.Beside him, Sheryl said, "The police just came, saying that they're closing the case on Samantha White, and requesting that we claim her body from the morgue.""What?!" Irene exclaimed in shock.Why would the police close the case on Samantha?However, it made sense when she really considered it—the culprit would naturally want that since they had failed to pin the crime on Isaac. As Irene walked up to Ricky and helped him stand, he told her, "The police said that the verdict will be formally announced at court tomorrow. Will you come with us?" "Definitely—the culprit would definitely be worried about leaving a mess. That's why they want it to end soon.""But can I really find them if they close the case?" Ricky was almost hysterical."Of course, once we have evidence to build a case," Irene told him

Any idiot could have told that there would have been people watching Samantha even though she was transported to the prison. The only reason she had escaped was because someone well-connected got her out.Ricky was agitated even as he listened to the verdict. Seeing that his hands were balled into fists, Irene tried to assure him, "Just calm down.""I can't." Ricky wanted to stay calm too, but he could not—his mother was murdered, but they were now saying that she killed herself!Knowing the truth he was unable to accept the verdict… but he had no evidence either!Despite his knowledge, he could not do anything, leaving him utterly indignant!Irene sighed softly—she understood how he felt, and said nothing.He was going to need time after this.The verdict announcement ended soon enough, and they were allowed to take Samantha's body to bury it.Ricky left and Sheryl went with him, while Irene waited outside.That was when she saw a female journalist walking nearby. Though

Clearing her throat, Irene said, "You see, I'm the one who bought the graves next to our father's."She had been wary toward Samantha, though it was not to say that she was helping Sheryl retain her place as Lionel's legally married wife. After all, Sheryl was over Lionel, and Irene wanted her mother to live a long, fulfilling life—she did not want a grave for her so soon.In fact, Irene had bought it just because she did not want Samantha to be interred beside Lionel. On the other hand, it took Ricky a long while to actually realize what Irene meant. "You did that for Sheryl?""More or less," Irene said. "Huh." Rick sighed, realizing that he was too late. It seemed that he was not as smart as Irene, who showed foresight while he only thought about his mother's funeral matters now."You're really smart, Sis. Dad was right to leave Spencer Holdings in your care," he said.At that very moment, he was not actually jealous—instead, he was impressed with Irene's consideration. Sh

That was the reason why Quincy was so eager to have Ian take over as Light Group's CEO. After she cajoled Henry, it was inevitable that Ian was here today!And now that they had leverage against Isaac, Henry could actually be harsh with Isaac."What about you, Isaac? Do you have anything to say?"Isaac was busy pretending to be shocked and upset, as if he never expected this to happen. He even made a show of scolding Stan in front of everyone. "What do I pay you for? How could you let this document leak out?!""Sorry, sir… I don't know what happened either!" Stan exclaimed.Ian snorted coldly right then. "Just give it a rest already. This isn't the time for you to scold your boy for being incompetent—everyone would inevitably find out the moment you decided to keep this from us… To think that I always believed that you were above the rest, but I guess this is all you amounted to."Stan appeared upset and argued, "What are you talking about? Everyone makes mistakes, and don't yo

Irene replied, "When I went with Ricky to court, I saw this woman… Huh, maybe it's nothing." Some people just bear a striking resemblance with others, after all, and she did not want to add to Isaac's troubles since he was very busy at the moment.Nonetheless, Isaac frowned. "What is it? Aren't you going to finish your sentence?""Like I said, it's nothing." Irene laughed. "Anyway, we can put the matter aside after Samantha White's funeral tomorrow."Knock, knock.Irene had barely finished when someone knocked on her door."Come in," she said, and the door only opened at that.It was Stan, and he was carrying a box containing a mess of documents and random items. He put the box on the table before coming to them and said, "They appointed Ian Jefferson as CEO.""Yeah," Isaac grunted in acknowledgement—he was not surprised by the outcome. It was all part of his plan anyway, since Quincy would only let down her guard once he was gone from Light Group.Still, Stan felt indign

Turning his face so that half of it was buried in his pillow, Isaac said, "You can go if you want."Stan pursed his lips, understanding what was going on just then.Truly, what goes around comes around… to think that the day had come that Isaac was kept on a leash—and on a very tight leash at that! Despite what she said, Irene remained focused as she bandaged Isaac. "Stay here and rest."Isaac then took her hand and gave it a squeeze. "Come back soon. Have Stan stay with you."Irene nodded and left the ward.Stan was ready waiting outside."Let's go," she said. Stan quickly followed, appearing hesitant to speak his mind despite holding the car keys.Unable to stand his fidgeting, Irene said, "Just spit it already.""It's not much, but… I just wanted to say that you might be paranoid. Debbie and I are both indebted to Mr. Jefferson, and we're definitely loyal to him—""Why do you think I'm paranoid?" Irene asked in return, cutting him short.Stan became quiet since he had

Irene was not intimidated however, and asked nonchalantly, "Does this have anything to do with your insistence on staying?""I'm not your run-of-the-mill secretary in charge of answering calls, preparing for meetings, and other measly errands. I am always on standby, waiting for any instructions from Mr. Jefferson as well as planning his itinerary. I also have to keep a constant eye on any documents submitted by other departments and appraise them before getting Mr. Jefferson's signature. Since I have many tasks, I would always have to prioritize, but what I do is primarily to pave the way for my boss. If Mr. Jefferson isn't leaving the country, what would I even do there?"Debbie's words were prim and her message clear, and Irene patiently listened and waited until she was finished. "Oh, so you're mainly worried you have nothing to do over there?""Yes, that would be the case if Mr. Jefferson isn't there."Irene nodded and smiled. "What if I offered you a different position?"Deb
