Isaac grinned even as he stared at his own phone.Stan turned around just then and saw that, and asked in a nosy tone, "Was it something amusing, sir?"Isaac's expression turned serious instantly. "Interested?"Spooked right then, Stan pursed his lips. "Not particularly."James almost laughed at his fearful reaction, and moved closer to ask him quietly, "Can't you toughen up a little?"Stan rolled his eyes at him. "What, and talk tough to the boss? Why don't you do it?""I won't, but at least I won't be as spineless as you were."Stan had no comeback, so he rolled his eyes at James again.Meanwhile, Isaac was watching them. "Now isn't the time to slip up. Keep a close eye on the company.""Yes, sir," James replied, since he was the one in charge.…Meanwhile, Quincy's arrest and Eastdawn's bankruptcy directly brought to light the investment that Light Group made on the latter.The board was in an uproar the instant they found out, and promptly convened for another meeting.
The Runaway Groom Chapter 334
Henry was still the head of his family, and there was no one better to ask Isaac to return.That was why the entire board pinned their hopes on him—his very appearance at this moment gave them hope!"Henry…"Though Henry was taken ill from stress by recent events, he rushed here anyway because he heard about the board meeting, and was worried that Ian could not keep the board in line. Even so, he was still very sick. He was very pale, and he would not be standing if Moneypenny was not helping him.On the other hand, the board did not care—their money was at stake. They swarmed Henry right away "You're the head of the family. You have to give us something to work with after what happened."Henry did not come unprepared, naturally.Quincy had given him a call before she was arrested, insisting that she would take responsibility for what happened to Light Group.He also learned that Ian had signed an agreement with her to that effect. It additionally stated that she had made

Stan entered. "I've got caught up with something."After greeting Irene, both he and James headed to Isaac's study, which was basically their office these days.Irene tactfully refrained from intruding, while Mrs. Watson just happened to finish preparing dinner. "Should we ask them to have dinner together?""I'll ask if they're busy," Irene said, carrying Tommy as she headed to the study. Holding Tommy in one arm, she was about to knock on the door when she heard Stan exclaiming in surprise, "What? It wasn't Kathy York?!"…Inside, Isaac was staring at the silver crucifix on the table, which James had recovered from Kathy's apartment. Isaac's gaze was lowered, and no one could tell what he was thinking."Thank goddess it wasn't her."There was rejoicing in his words—Kathy could not have been the girl with those beautiful eyes. In fact, the reason he realized that Kathy was not the girl who saved her as a child was because of his own scheme. As a part of his honey trap for

The thud drew Irene back to her senses. Her hand, frozen in the air, moved again as she knocked on the door.She composed herself as quickly as she could, while James soon opened the door for her, averting his eyes a little when he saw that it was her. James himself did not understand why he did that… perhaps Irene should not hear their conversation, and it was a sign of guilt?Nonetheless, Irene was smiling. "Are you guys done here yet? Mrs. Watson has made dinner."James studied her then, but her smile was impeccable.He was relieved inwardly. Maybe she did not hear them, and there were no unnecessary misunderstandings. "We're just finishing up," he said.Irene looked inside, meeting Isaac's eyes and quickly putting on a smile, though she did nothing as she turned away and took Tommy back to his room. Isaac sent Stan and James to the kitchen while he followed her into the room, where she was changing Tommy's diapers. Looking up when she heard a knock, she smiled. "You shou

Irene then asked, "Do you boys want something to drink?"Stan said nothing—he was fine either way.James refused politely, "I'm afraid there's still work tomorrow. Boozing might complicate things."Irene did not try to push him—it was just a question.That was when James's phone rang, and he moved to the living room to answer the call.Irene glanced at him, thinking to herself just then that James was more prudent and sharp than Stan.If she wanted to find out the identity of the woman Isaac kept in his heart, she would have to find out from Stan.Pushing a plate of Mrs. Watson's signature dish to Stan, she smiled. "Here: Mrs. Watson's finest Chilean sea bass, and it's even better than what they serve at fine dining restaurants. Have some."Stan was actually overwhelmed, and quickly ate—it was certainly great. "Oh, it's fantastic," he praised endlessly. As for Irene, she was keeping her eye on him as she asked, "How long have you been working for Isaac, Stan?"Stan mumbled
The Runaway Groom Chapter 338
Irene did not really have an appetite in the first place, and even less so after learning hints about Isaac's past.As a child, Irene herself had been constantly pushed around by Lionel. She could not do everything as she wanted, and life was less than happy.But when compared to Isaac, she was—at the very least, her parents were not murdered. Considering that, and the fact that Isaac himself was almost killed too, she could imagine how harsh life had been for him and could not help sympathizing.James perceived her mood right then, and said, "Well, we're going to return the favor soon."Irene nodded, but since she was eager to eat, she got to her feet and said. "You boys finish up here. I'll go check on Tommy—Isaac is probably hungry now."When she returned to their room, however, Tommy was already asleep.Isaac was in bed, his eyes closed—there was no telling if she was asleep or napping.She walked quietly up to him, arching her back to get a look at his face. "Isaac?" sh
The Runaway Groom Chapter 339
Isaac was quite irked."Yeah," he grunted coolly and left.And the instant he was gone, Irene's face fell.She breathed a long sigh and told herself not to be petty—it was not worth it.Even so, it felt like she had something stuck in her heart, and she could not stop herself from imagining what the other woman was like. Was she beautiful?Did she stand out of the crowd? Were they innocent playmates? Childhood friends? A match made in heaven?Why else was Isaac unable to forget about her?Messy thoughts poured into her mind like an endless spring. She shook her head firmly to stop herself from imagining it, and started reading a medical textbook to calm herself. Unsurprisingly, her thoughts were soon completely drawn to the contents of the book, and the hours ticked past before she knew it.…Meanwhile, the situation at Light Group was taking a turn for the worse, with Ian being remanded for investigation while things appeared bleak in the company.Everyone else was spe
The Runaway Groom Chapter 340
Irene pretended not to hear Henry calling her name, but Stephen turned around and gave her a look, asking, "Is someone calling you?""Is that so?" She turned reluctantly toward Henry, who seemed to have aged a century in a day and appeared far from spirited."Go on. You have ten minutes—we're scrubbing up later," Stephen told her.Irene had no choice but to nod then. "I'll be right back."She walked toward Henry, but did not even greet him.He spoke before she could. "Take me to Isaac."He was very direct. Irene frowned. If he wanted to see Isaac, why was he asking her to take him?"As you can see, I'm working right now," Irene said evenly. Henry's fingers clenched over his cane, even as he hid his anger behind his turbid gaze—because he had to. "Do you think I'd ask you if I could see him whenever I wanted?"Irene understood right then. Isaac was refusing to see Henry, and in that case, why would she lead him to Isaac? "I don't know where he is," she said.Henry narro
