The Runaway Groom Chapter 684
Even before Isaac could respond, Harvey continued, "Well, I guess calling it off does make sense… It would be a jinx to keep it going with someone dying at your wedding venue." He planted himself on the couch, sitting crossed-legged and acting like he belonged there."By the way, have you seen the news? They're all saying that she was your lover, and that she committed suicide when she found out about your wedding. Tut, tut… What is that if not slander?"Despite his taunting, Isaac remained nonchalant as he sat behind his desk, though there was an undertone of contempt in his relaxed attitude. "Say them, or say you?""Now, now, I never said a word. It's all them." Harvey threw up his hands innocently. "Sure, you never said a word. You just played puppeteer behind the scenes." Isaac appeared even more relaxed then. "But even if I have to postpone my wedding, what did I lose, specifically? Irene is still with me, and everything I bought is still mine."The throughout of his los

"Yes, sir! I'll get our techies on it right away!" James told Isaac before hurrying out of his office.…Back at the hilltop mansion, Lulu helped take down the decorations after Erin left. When they were almost done, she gave Irene a head's up. "We're finished now, so I'm going home, okay?"Ricky frowned, feeling uncomfortable when he heard Lulu say 'home'.Did she consider Zachary Slate's house 'home' now?Was she not out for revenge? Why would she call that place 'home' so affectionately?!"Why don't you stay for dinner?" Irene asked."Yeah, you should stay for dinner," Ricky chimed in.However, Lulu had lost all her old affection for Irene and her attitude toward Irene was cool because of her discontent toward the latter! "Actually, I should go since Zachary might be waiting for me." Lulu deliberately came up with an excuse just so that she would not have to stay.Naturally, it sounded different to Ricky's ears.Zachary was waiting for her? She wanted to go back that

Zachary had arrived without them knowing, and he was glowering as he warned Ricky, "Stay away from Lulu!"Ricky simply wiped his lips, vaguely smiling. "Just because you told me to? Do you really think I'd listen?"Zachary simply gave him a dark look before turning to Lulu. "Are you coming with me?"Lulu averted her eyes from his for some reason, appearing evasive just then!"Lulu," Zachary called her again.Lulu hesitated, but eventually walked to his side.Ricky remained where he was, but he taunted Zachary. "Lulu loved me even before she lost her memory. Even now, the feelings she has for me remain in her body, so you can't stop us."Zachary did not argue and headed straight for his car. Lulu followed him and studied him gingerly as she got in his car. "I was confused, so I didn't push him away."Zachary said nothing, because he was in a sullen mood after overhearing Ricky's conversation with Lulu.He had never expected Lulu to find out that his mother tried to have her k

Zachary glowered. "Are you saying that we're already dead?"Mrs. Slate scowled, her fingers clenching on the handles of her wheelchair. "I was hurt, but I came back on a wheelchair because I had to. I'm worried she'd hurt you—""If she does kill me, I deserve it. Consider that I'm paying your debt." With that, he reached for the door handle, but suddenly paused and turned around to his mother again. "Don't mention anything, and pretend you know nothing about the fire."After all, he knew very well that Lulu would just leave him if she could not have her revenge, and he wanted to keep her at his side even if she was doing it out of spite."If she leaves me again because of you, I'll never forgive you!""Fine, I'll even treat her like my daughter," Mrs. Slate quickly replied. "But you have to be wary of her—I don't want you to get hurt."Zachary sneered. "You don't want me to get hurt while you hurt others?"Mrs. Slate had no comeback for that. "Look, I know I've made mistakes,

Zachary studied her. "Why are you always so wary? Am I some sort of criminal?""Haven't I always been like this?" Lulu replied.Zachary pursed his lips. "I love you, Lulu, and that's never changed, y'know?"Lulu sensed that something was wrong with him right then. "You know I've forgotten.""You have, but you could ask about the past, couldn't you?"He was referring to the possibility that someone might have told Lulu that his mother tried to kill her. "What are you talking about?" Lulu raised a brow."Do you know what your previous profession was?""What?" "Forensic doctor," Zachary replied. "We both graduated from the same university, and we used to date as students—""I'm sleepy," Lulu said, not wanting to hear further and sensing that Zachary was acting weird.Zachary, however, ignored her and continued. "When it comes to people of our profession, we are sharp when it comes to drugs…"That was why the drug he spiked her milk with was colorless and tasteless, and he wo

"I don't want to throw away everything I've learned," Irene admitted—she was passionate about her work, and she was convinced that she must not lose herself or give up on her career no matter who she married. In fact, she wants to be his equal, instead of being a yes-woman—or at least have a career if that was not possible. Isaac thought about it for a couple seconds. "Would you give up if I said no?""I…" Irene trailed off, sending his displeasure.Before she could come up with something to convince him, he added, "I can give you anything you want."He was telling her that he could give her everything else.Irene lowered her gaze. "I insisted on becoming a doctor despite my father's protests. I really love my job."Isaac simply wiped his face and threw the towel into the basin. "Think again."With that, he strode out.Irene tried to follow, wanting to explain that Dennis did not give her much time and she must come to a decision."Isaac…""I have a lot on my plate."He

Sensing danger right then, Irene turned toward Seth, who appeared perplexed by her look. "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"Irene pointed at Harvey Gooding. "He's your cousin?""Yeah," Seth replied honestly. "His mother is my mother's youngest sister.""He's sick?" Irene asked. "Yeah—that's what he told me," Seth said. "He's hoping you can take a look.Irene's lips twitched.Fine, it was her own negligence! Or maybe she never could have expected that Seth and Harvey were related."Why are you so surprised?" Harvey rose to his feet just then and he slowly walked towards Irene.Alarmed, Irene retreated and turned to run, only to find the door blocked by several burly men, each of whom had fearsome looks on their faces!Her escape cut off, Irene wheeled on Harvey. "What do you want?"Harvey smiled. "To get checked, of course—I'm a patient, and you're a doctor, right?"Irene narrowed her eyes. "I don't think I can do it. Get someone else, and let me go rig
The Runaway Groom Chapter 691
Irene panicked, sensing that Harvey was different now.Softening her tone, she said, "It's ungentlemanly of you to take out your grievances on a woman, Harvey. Your quarrel is with Isaac, so take it up with him—""Oh, but I am. He's destroying my company, so I'm destroying his woman. Isn't that fair?" Harvey licked his lips. "You'll both suffer!"Irene looked around the room then and saw a closed window to the right. She judged that her body could squeeze through it and it was her only chance to escape. Keeping her distance from Harvey, she started to move slowly toward it. "Calm down, Harvey. We can talk about this.""Talk? Do you think I'm an idiot? There's no going back now!" Harvey saw through her intentions right then. He snapped smugly, "Trying to run again?!'Realizing that he had caught on, Irene dashed to the window at top speed—it was the only way and there was no time to think!However, when she tried to open it, she found that it was stuck in place, refusing to
