The Runaway Groom Chapter 482
Harvey appeared with bags under his eyes. "No, you don't have to."He had been worried because Irene never left Isaac's room the whole night, so he had been eavesdropping as he stayed outside.James frowned. "You've learned to eavesdrop now, Harvey? Picking up more unnecessary skills, are we?""You're the one who left the door open. I just came in," Harvey retorted, then turned toward Isaac "You don't have to look into anything—I paid off Jane Tanner to seduce you. She's ugly, but she somehow doesn't disgust you, right? That's because she put on a fragrance that confounds you. It's exactly because she's hideous that I hired her just to mess with you.""You're despicable!" James exclaimed—but Harvey's scheme did explain everything. He had just been curious as to why Isaac did not feel disgust toward that ugly woman!"I'm no match for him when it comes to business. Why can't I harass him in some other way?" Harvey tried to make his lie sound as true as possible.There was no hel

It was hell on earth.She saw a woman with dreadlocks whose skin was as dark as coal. She looked just like a hippopotamus, but she was only dressed in a pink tank top that was as thin as a feather. For some reason or another, Harvey was lying still as she straddled him, looking like he would rather be dead.It was too stimulating a scene for Irene, so she quickly turned around, and found James had appeared behind her without her notice."Dr. Tanner. Were you looking for Harvey?""Yes," she calmly replied. "He's a patient, so I was just checking on him…""How dutiful of you," James growled with contempt. Not sure why she deserved that, Irene pointed out, "I had been dutiful when I treated Mr. Jefferson as well. Is there anything that you find unsatisfactory, Mr. Cross?""You know very well what you've done, so drop the pretenses. We're only targeting Harvey and sparing you because you're so ugly, and there won't be a place for you anywhere if you're fired. Count your blessings

Erin continued to cry, and miserably at that. "Wargh…"James shook her arm. "Just tell me—what truth were you talking about?""It's all because of you! And you're still asking?!" Erin grabbed his hand and suddenly bit him.It was the second time he did so, and James was left clenching his teeth in pain. "Are you a dog?Why did she have to keep biting him?!"You're the dog! Your whole family are dogs! Urgh…"James's cheek twitched. "Say that again and I won't be so kind."It was fine if she cursed him, but not his family."Hit me if you dare." Erin suddenly dropped to the floor, her hair a mess. She was certainly in a sorry state especially with her stink of alcohol.Still, James merely rolled up his sleeve to check the teeth marks she left on his hand. "Unbelievable." After checking out from the front desk, he was about to leave when Erin wrapped herself around his legs. "It's all your fault. Don't even think about getting away."James looked down at her, wondering if t

Perhaps Erin was really drunk—or just trying to vent the grief from learning of her true roots—but she was not backing down at all.James was panting as she clung on to him, but he was still rational, and thus hesitant to take things to the next level.His eyes a little red, he growled, "Do you consent?"He had already torn open her blouse.Even so, Erin was still latched to him. There was no telling if she heard him or if she was just sick from all the alcohol, but she pressed her face against his chest and moaned, "Uh-hmm…" Her response was no different from throwing oil to fire.Unable to stop himself, James pinned her beneath himself……An hour later, James got dressed and strode outside—there was just ten minutes until his flight, and he was late although he drove at top speed to the airport.Isaac was already waiting when he hurried into the plane and almost lost his patience."I was held up…" James tried to explain.Still, as Isaac looked up, he saw that James's co

Isaac's first reaction to the text was to wonder who was playing a prank on him this time.Harvey had pulled the same stunt just days ago but he was still abroad, so there was no chance of him doing it again.So who was doing this, and why?Still, despite knowing that it was a trick, Isaac replied anyway.[In that case, tell me where she is.]He put down his phone after doing so, but his eyes were locked on it.At the depths of his heart, he somehow held hope that it was no trick, but a miracle instead.It soon rang, and Isaac picked it up.[I can tell you, but I want something in exchange.]Isaac remained calm as he read it, as if he had expected that.[Name it.][Release Ian Jefferson.][Sure.]After replying to the text, Isaac quickly called James, who soon answered his call. "Find out who has been in touch with Ian recently," he growled."Okay," James replied. Isaac hung up soon after, just as another text arrived. [We will make the exchange at the Seventh Port.

Soon, Isaac's call was answered, and he said, "I need a favor. Find someone reliable—we need a DNA test.""Yes, sir," the person on the other end said, and Isaac hung up.Sheryl was a living specimen, and he had all the DNA samples he would need.An excuse, such as a medical examination, would do.After that, all they had to do was to wait.…Over at Minerva, all of Irene's colleagues were congratulating her for being appointed as the youngest attending physician in Mead Clinic.Jeff Cartman said, "Dinner's on you," Irene smiled, but she was feeling generous. "Alright. That's a deal."Still, a nurse arrived and interrupted the merry atmosphere. "Dr. Tanner? Dr. Pitt is asking to see you in her office.""I'll be right there," Irene said."Maybe she wants you to buy her dinner too?" someone joked."Desperate, aren't you?" Jeff chuckled.Still, he was one of the few who genuinely wished Irene the best, especially given her meteoric rise.Before this, anyone who wanted to be

Harvey asked, "What is it?""It's what James Cross told me," Irene said. "But I think they recorded a video of you, and they would upload it online in Zidonia. Many people know you over there, so you really should do something soon…""What?!" Harvey huffed, his cheeks puffed and his eyes bulging. "Isaac Jefferson must be crazy! Does he have to go that far to tarnish my reputation?!" "You should think about how to resolve it instead of ranting," Irene pointed out.Realizing that he had been too agitated thanks to her prodding, he said, "Alright. I should return to Zidonia soon.""Yeah." Irene nodded. "I'll be returning soon myself.""You too?" Harvey lost composure right then. "Why? Because of Isaac?""No. There's this forum we're going to attend. Mead Clinic is sending three representatives, and I'm one of them—I was thinking about heading home because of Lulu Adams anyway." She naturally had her personal reasons too, which was visiting Tommy and Sheryl."As long as it's not

Stephen was so nervous he barely managed a sentence. "W-What are you… doing in my house?""Give me your phone." Isaac held out his hand, but Stephen promptly held on tighter to it, even as fear showed in his eyes. Isaac gave one of his goons a look then. "Take it."The man walked up and quickly wrestled the phone out from Stephen's grasp, then handed it to Isaac. "Sir."The instant Isaac took it, he called out, "Irene."He had no idea who it was on the other end, but he determined that it might be Irene because of Stephen's words and his panicked reaction.However, Irene had heard Isaac coming and quickly passed her phone to Jeff Cartman, who sharply answered, "What? Who's Irene?"Isaac's brow creased when he heard that it was a man. Did he get it wrong?If that was the case, why was Stephen panicking so much when he saw him?Hanging up, he kept his eyes on Stephen and asked sharply, "Tell me. Where's Irene now?"Stephen feigned composure as he answered, "She's dead.""It w
