The Runaway Groom Chapter 370
Irene thought that even if she had yet to actually sober up, Isaac would stir enough fear in her to make her sober.Giving him a meek look, she asked again, "When did you get back?"From Isaac's perspective, the repeated question was a sign that she was not sober."We'll talk when we get home," he said flatly.Irene was left speechless—he was still angry with her!Firmly rubbing her cheeks, she began, "Actually—""Talk when you're sober." He cut her short, leaving her at a loss for words again.Well, that suited her just fine since she was sick anyway. Although she was now thinking straight, her stomach was uncomfortable. She leaned against her seat as the car drove on steadily, and since her eyes were heavy, she slowly closed her eyes.Isaac studied her from head to toe just then, and scowled when he saw that her clothes were wrinkled and she was not wearing shoes. Still, she looked exhausted, and he refrained from snapping at her. There were not many cars on the road,

Irene did want to weasel her way out of that and deliberately miss the point.Judging from Isaac's reaction, however, she was not getting out of this if she did not explain herself. Clearing her throat, she said, "So… Lulu and Zachary were fighting because Zachary cheated on her. Lulu was feeling terrible, so I drank with her… and ended up having too much to drink.""Why was Harvey with you?" That was what Isaac cared most about, so Irene continued, "Lulu wanted to get drunk, but I couldn't think of any places. Harvey suggested that nightclub, and we used his private box…"Her voice trailed off at the last part."And?""And I kept Harvey outside, while Lulu and I drank inside. Check the cameras if you don't believe me." She might have drunk too much yesterday, but she still remembered everything before she got drunk.Bzzt—Isaac's phone suddenly vibrated on the table, and he picked it up to see that it was another photo from Harvey.It was from one of the nightclub's came

Irene's face fell when she saw who it was.Whitney was glaring at her viciously. "Irene Spencer—I don't know how your chief managed to persuade Chad's father to not pursue the matter, but I won't let this slide."Irene backed two paces away to keep her distance."You know very well how you lost your child. Keep obsessing and you'll only hurt yourself further.""You're the one who hurt me. Do I have to suffer like this now if not for you?!" Whitney's eyes were scarlet—she believed that Irene was the cause of all her suffering, and she definitely would have stayed at Isaac's side if not for Irene. Irene was the reason Isaac hated Whitney now!On the other hand, Irene did not want to keep talking with Whitney because she clearly was less than sane now."Greed, wrath, and ignorance. You ticked all the boxes of evils," Irene coolly retorted. "Keep being stubborn, and you'll lose Chad too—remember, you're the one who denied him a child."However, Irene had also deliberately said t

Irene said, "No, Isaac isn't furious, but I am—are you trying to drive a wedge between us? I didn't take you for such a person." Harvey only wanted to upset Isaac, and did it in the knowledge that he would make things difficult for Irene. He naturally could not argue now that Irene was upset with him, and smiled apologetically. "Come on, don't think of it that way! If he becomes distrustful and gets angry at you, it's a sign that he only loves you that much.""Fuck off," Irene cursed at him right then.This was neither about love or trust—she would be uncomfortable if Isaac had ended up drunk and then shared a room with another woman.That was why she understood why Isaac was grumpy over that.As for trust? Their relationship only began recently, and it was no flaw that they did not have unconditional trust in each other.However, she was confident that they could do it as time went by.Suddenly, she said, "You'd better hand over all of last night's security footage to Isaac.

Since she entered the room, Irene had shown no interest in their conversation.After all, everyone had secrets. Seeing that she was not prying and that she was quite composed, Mick said, "Alright, I'll bring her in tomorrow.""And I'll have everything prepared and waiting," Stephen replied. "She'll be the first one to be examined tomorrow—I know you're concerned, but I'll do my best to keep her away from the public.""I'm counting on you then," Mick said, rising to his feet.Stephen escorted him out, and soon returned. Since Irene still did not ask anything, Stephen nodded in approval. "You're not curious at all?""I actually am," Irene admitted. "But I shouldn't pry, especially when patient confidentiality is concerned."Stephen smiled, and pulled out a patient's file.It was the patient from last time, whose photo bore a striking resemblance with Isaac's mother.Irene's eyes widened when she saw it—this was the person Stephen and Mick were referring to?She then noticed
The Runaway Groom Chapter 375
Judging from the photo she stumbled upon on Isaac's desk, as well as the patient's file she saw, Irene realized that the two seemingly unrelated events were actually inextricably connected.She might be meeting the woman in question tomorrow, too…In the past, she would not have eavesdropped about others.However, this concerned Isaac, so she wanted to find out if the patient was Isaac's mother.And who was Mick Gooding? Why would he be so attached to her? Also, his reluctance to let others find out about the patient meant that there was something fishy involved. Making up her mind, she headed to Admin to finish her errand, and returned to Stephen's office. Stephen was not around, and she stood by his desk, hesitating for a moment before picking up the patient's file. Opening the folder, she was stunned when she saw the note that Stephen had performed a craniotomy on the woman named Layla Gooding. Craniotomy? But Stephen's specialty was cardiovascular diseases! Moreover

Zachary stopped in his tracks but did not turn around. "Don't ask. Everything she said is right—I've done her dirty."He was very clear about it, affording Irene no space to argue. "Take care of yourself, Zachary."Zachary heaved a deep sigh then, and left, while Irene returned to work.…Over at Spencer Mansion, Lulu was packing her belongings.Sheryl Harris was helping her, and she told Lulu, "You can visit anytime you want if you miss Irene. Think of this place as your home, and we have more rooms than we need. I'll save one so you can come here anytime."Lulu's toughness crumbled from Sheryl's warmth. Tears welled out of Lulu's eyes right then, and she firmly wiped it away. "Thank you." "It's no issue," Sheryl said, patting her on the back of her hand and adding mildly, "You're like a sister to Irene and you've helped her a lot. From where I'm standing, you're both my children."Lulu could not say anything then, because she was already choking with tears and would not

Harvey's words were a barenaked challenge."Really?" Isaac smiled faintly in response, his tone clear and rumbling as if emitted out of his chest.Harvey stared warily at him. "Yes, you'll definitely get upset if you saw—there's nothing between me and Irene, and I had the footage deleted because I don't want you to misunderstand."However, it would have been better if he did not explain. The more he did, the more others would feel like he had done something shady last night."I think you're just guilty that others would find out," Stan growled—his distaste toward Harvey did not happen overnight, and he had always thought Harvey shameless. Even Harvey himself felt that his attempts at explanation turned out badly.Stan now seemed certain that he did something wrong, while Isaac glowered intimidatingly. Could he really keep talking, given the situation? Or maybe he should show Isaac the videos he had… but would that not worsen the misunderstanding?Whatever. "Believe what y
