The Runaway Groom Chapter 455
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

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.""

Harvey was left speechless from shock.Irene nodded. "Those are the people backing Mead Clinic.""I know," Harvey groaned. "The Raideen dynasty is a famous dynasty of magnates whose legacy began from the 19th century, and one of their members became the world's first billionaire. They've now built a monopoly over Minerva's oil industry, while branching out to every other industry."Looking up at Irene, he asked, "Why are you showing this to me?""I'm not going back to Zidonia," Irene told him. "There's a lot to learn in Mead Clinic, and I like the working environment here. Actually, I know the man you warned me about—he's Mark Wickers, an entrepreneur in the pharmaceutical industry. He's actually conscientious and an idealist, and he's here because he doesn't want to see Mead Clinic creating a monopoly over the research."Clenching her fingers a little, she said, "I know that this is difficult, but could you come up with a way to claim a share of this project so that it does not b
The Runaway Groom Chapter 462
Irene was frowning. What was Harvey doing here first thing in the morning? She was not sure how to react to him."What are you doing here?""I bought you breakfast—I'm making this a routine everyday from now on." Harvey was not being shy either and quickly squeezed his way in.Irene was wearing white baggy lace pajamas that covered up to her ankles and wrists, and naturally her belly. She stroked her belly a little before walking up to Harvey, staring at him as she said, "If you have the time to bring me breakfast, you should instead head back to talk to Isaac already."Harvey was speechless. Why did she have to mention that killjoy of a man?"I'll be gone after this." Irene sat down at the table then. "Can't you be less childish, Harvey? You're not exactly young.""How am I being childish?" Harvey was actually upset—he was sincere about bringing breakfast.He did read online that women loved men who cared and paid attention to details, so he was doing his best!"You're b
