The Runaway Groom Chapter 453
Isaac stood loftily as he looked down upon Ian as if he were an ant. "I told you—you would wish you were dead."Ian stayed lying sprawled haggardly on the floor, his spite almost consuming himself.His hands were shaking endlessly and his veins were bulging over the back of his hand!They were both Jeffersons, and yet he had lost everything including his own dignity, while Isaac remained perched on his lofty branch.Losing again was already humiliating, but he had to lose so thoroughly too!Pushing himself up from the floor, his facial features contorted with rage even as he growled, "You're just scared, Isaac Jefferson. You're not manly enough to kill me with your bare hands. Do it if you dare, don't give me a reason to belittle you."He suddenly dashed toward Isaac in a last-ditch effort to kill him, but was subdued the instant he moved."Time for your meds, Ian," the director of the asylum said just then.Ian struggled violently, but he was too weak to free himself.Ever

James sneaked a glance at Isaac.What would he do now that Erin Gooding had barged into his office? They were step-siblings in a way, after all…Even so, Isaac appeared unruffled, and watched as everything unfolded with coldness in his eyes.James was speechless—was he really that cold?He had every reason to acknowledge her as his sister, just so that he did not have to feel so lonely—that was what James believed, at least.Meanwhile, Erin moved to stand just behind Isaac's desk. "You're Isaac Jefferson, right? I've seen your photos and looked into you. Yvaine is as much your mother as she is mine, so please tell me where she's buried. I need to pay my respects."There was a sternness to her presence, as if she would not give up if Isaac did not tell her.However, Isaac simply glanced at Debbie. "Call security."Debbie was naturally thrilled. "Yes, Mr. Jefferson.""What?!" Erin exclaimed, gaping. "I'm Yvaine's daughter!""Doesn't matter who you are. Barging in here without

However, Mick pushed a plate of food to her. "Not now. Eat."He did not mention Irene since she did not want too many people to know that she was alive, and therefore hid the truth from his own daughter too.Even so, Erin's curiosity got the better of her. "Just tell me already, Dad. I really want to know.""Well, you've met Isaac Jefferson. What do you think about him?"He was just changing the subject to divert her attention, but Erin fell for it anyway."He has the looks," she said as she searched her memory. "But his bad temper cancels it out."Mick smiled. "And?""And what?" Erin was puzzled.Mick actually thought that she might be interested in Isaac after meeting him given the ladykiller that he was, but it seemed not to be the case.Still, he found comfort that Erin was so intent on finding Yvaine's grave as well. She was a good daughter, even if she was adopted.Nonetheless, Erin seemed to realize what Mick was getting at and shot him a glare. "Dad, are you getting s

Irene said, "I can't help you with that."In fact, even if she had any idea, she would never tell Mick—she respected Isaac's decision.From Isaac's perspective, it was natural that he would want to keep his own mother within his own family, alongside his father.In fact, if she were him, she would do the same. It was as much common sense as it was selfish, though she did not consider it as selfish a thing to do either.Moreover, Yvaine only developed feelings for Mick because they spent years together, and he did save her life. It was hardly a natural one—she might not even have fallen for Mick if he had not erased her memories and taken her abroad. Still, Mick could not help being disappointed."Well…""And if you recall, he was convinced that I was the one who killed his mother, and he naturally did not tell me where she was buried. You know how opinionated he can be too, so if he doesn't want to tell, he's not going to."Mick became silent. Isaac certainly was no pushov

[Name: Jane Tanner][Age: 30][Birthplace: Zidonia]Irene had changed her name for work reasons, though she had every reason to hide her real name too.However, as there was not much other information, Isaac was left frowning. "Is this all you have?""I'm afraid that's all I've got on her," Mark admitted. "But I assure you, if you agree to this investment, I'll personally travel to meet Dr. Tanner. If she has even the slightest conscience, I'm sure she'd agree to return to our country to continue her research.""Not interested." Isaac refused him right away. "Debbie, get him out of here."It was obvious that he did not want to waste his breath or time on a project he had no hopes for.Refusing to give up, Mark blurted right then, "Mr. Jefferson, what would Ms. Spencer do if she were still here?"Isaac's face fell immediately and he leveled a dark look at Mark. His eyes seemed placid, but he was really just a fraction away from throwing a fit.Naturally, Mark regretted his own
The Runaway Groom Chapter 458
What was Mark doing here?!That was when Irene remembered something else: she might have been close with Jeff, but he had never bought her dinner before!That was why she thought something was weird about this… he had a reason for inviting her.She turned and left the diner right then, while texting Jeff: [Sorry, something came up and I couldn't make it.]She strolled along the bustling foreign streets in her beige dress and loose jacket. She had a scarf pulled up to her face to cover her burned cheek and neck.She folded her arms as she slowly strolled along the streets—it was a rarity for her to be idling like today, and she even had time to admire the sights. …"Alright, I got it." Harvey was on the phone even as he strode along the street, when he knocked into someone.He turned around, about to apologize, but saw that it was the ugly woman from the auction. This time, she only covered her burned cheek, only revealing her brows, eyes and forehead. It reminded him so mu

Harvey lifted the employee ID dangling over Irene's chest and read it."Jane Tanner? I didn't think that it'd be you," he said in surprise. "I was actually wondering where I should start searching." He was impressed that he recognized her despite the face mask, too.As a matter of fact, Harvey had found out that Isaac might invest in the fully artificial heart project and was going to poach a certain doctor from Mead Clinic.Since Isaac was known not to fail, he wanted to poach the doctor before Isaac could, and then put his own money in the project. However, he had no experience in the medical field, let alone any contacts he could speak with.As such, he came here looking like an idiot, and was kept out of the staff's quarters. Frustrated, he paced around outside when he saw Irene came out, and grabbed her like he was grasping at straws."Come with me," he told her as he pulled her along.Irene was at a loss for words, and simply grabbed the nearest scaffolding.Harvey

Harvey swore under his breath. There was really no escaping Isaac! Hurrying to Irene's side to block her from view, he whispered to her, "That man is one of Isaac's people. He's here to poach talents from Mead Clinic."Irene turned to find Mark standing nearby.At the same time, Jeff called out to Irene. "Jane? Mr. Wickers is quite sincere in his offer. Why don't we sit down together?"Harvey was left gaping in shock right then. The person Isaac was trying to poach… was Irene?What the hell?!Still, Irene simply told Jeff, "Like I've said, I won't agree to it or even think about it."With that, she pulled Harvey along.Jeff naturally could not do anything about it, since he could not force Irene in this matter. Turning to Mark, he said, "I've told her about your proposal, but she refused."Mark was left feeling disappointed, but as he turned toward Jeff, his eyes lit up again. "Actually, I think you would work too…""Nope," Jeff quickly waved him off. "I can't do it.""
