The Runaway Groom Chapter 694
Isaac was not concerned at first, but his face turned grim when he saw Irene in the video.She was lying on a bed with Harvey sitting right beside her.Even their conversation could not be clearer, especially when he said, "Scared, aren't you? Think I'm disgusting? But that's what I want, for both you and Isaac to be disgusted!" With that, he no longer teased her, and instead, he tore through her clothes.The video did not stop there, however—Isaac watched with his own eyes as Harvey completely undressed Irene, and once she was nude, he leaned downwards…Bang! The laptop lid was shut so violently the resounding bang could shatter the glass wall!Isaac's hand, still on top of the laptop, clenched into a fist. Veins bulge over the back of his hand while his chin clenched and his temples twitched.Fury overflowed in his veins and his eyes turned bloodshot! He sprang to his feet at the next instant, kicking up a cold gust in his wake as he strode outside while making a call.

Isaac had never lost his cool or his mind like this!After flooring Harvey, he lifted Harvey again and punched him in the face again.As Harvey kissed the floor again, his face was numbed from overwhelming pain. All he could taste was the increasingly thick scent of blood and something hard in his mouth.He spat it to the floor, and it turned out to be one of his teeth.He picked it up, frowning as more blood streamed out of his mouth.Still, he licked his lips and looked up at Isaac before bursting into loud, ironic laughter."Do you think you could fix anything even if you kill me? Haha!" He guffawed even as he lay on the ground, since he was not getting up anyway. "I've never won against you, but I finally did it, huh?"Isaac kept glaring at him, the vein on his temples bulging and throbbing!Suddenly, James kicked Harvey. "Shut up already!"He then moved up, intending to gag Harvey—Isaac would kill Harvey anyway if he kept running his mouth.However, Isaac stopped him

Harvey grinned with considerable difficulty. "Why don't you give me Irene—"Before he could finish, however, Isaac had already thrown him into a pond with a loud splash!Harvey was splattering water everywhere—he could swim, but he had long since been left exhausted by Isaac's torment and he was on his last breath.He did not struggle at all underwater, and simply kept sinking.As Isaac turned around, he saw James and growled, "Don't help him."James lowered his head. "Yes, sir."However, once Isaac had gone far enough, he beckoned for his men to quietly fish Harvey out of the pond.If Harvey was killed, there was no cleaning up the ensuing mess—what if all the videos and images of Irene went online? He knew Isaac well enough to tell that he was not that impulsive, and that he had only lost his calm from sheer rage this time.As Isaac drove away, James followed suit.The entire mess was so abrupt that he had a hard time letting it sink in, and he had to follow Isaac since he

Seth had never been slapped, and his right cheek certainly stung.Nonetheless, Irene asked icily, "Does it hurt?""That's not the point," Seth quickly retorted. "I'm a man, and I can take a slap, but you're hurting my dignity here. How could I do this so casually…" Irene's slap was certainly loud, drawing much attention and leaving him blushing. "We're in a public place. Can't you see that everyone is watching?"Irene rose to his feet then. "If you were actually a fellow conspirator and not a tool, it would be a knife and not a slap."Seth turned pale, finally realizing the gravity of the situation, and he asked, "What did Harvey do?"Irene ignored him and simply strode out. Seth gave chase and caught her. "Come on, just tell me—"Irene shook him off. "Let me go!"Her almond eyes were glaring as if spitting fire—it was the first time she flipped out after what Harvey did.Still, she soon quelled her flaring emotion and said with utter coolness, "Don't ever show up around

Isaac paused before he got out of the car. "Yeah?" Irene held his gaze and said, "Let's talk."Isaac returned to his seat and shut the door.He was quiet for a while before he finally asked, "What about?"She nervously clenched her hands and braced herself for a while before finally saying, "I really mind." It was out of context, but Isaac understood what she meant. "So?" he said even as his gaze darkened a little, and he finished before Irene could speak. "Don't think about it. Let's go home—our kids are waiting."The last part was to remind Irene that they already had two children. Even if something happened, they should face it together instead of deciding to split up so lightly—that would be irresponsible. He then reached for her hand, but she shook him off as if repulsed.It was on reflex, and she stunned even herself.However, when she looked up, she found his hand still hovering above, waiting."Sorry," she said, lowering her head—she did not mean it, but she ha

Isaac arched his back but refrained from touching Irene—he simply picked up her blanket and adjusted it for her.Then, he stayed there for a moment and said ever so softly, "I don't mind."Those words left tears welling up in Irene's eyes.She kept her eyes tightly shut, and firmly bit her lip, holding it in so that she would not make a sound.Even so, her tears trickled out along the corner of her eyes, flowing over her nose and disappearing into her hair. As her body started to shudder, Isaac wanted to comfort her, but his hands hovered in the air for a moment before lowering.She needed time, and him being close would only add to her pressure.He breathed a deep sigh and returned to their bed, but lay on his side, watching her on the couch.They were going to have trouble sleeping tonight!…The night certainly seemed to stretch on, and both of them pretended to have slept and just woke up in the morning despite the dark circles under their eyes.Still, they both acted a

It was Rosa, Harvey's mother."Hello, Aunt Rosa? It's me, Seth!" Seth said over the phone. "I can't seem to reach Harvey at the moment…""Don't go looking for him if it's nothing important," Rosa replied, and she sounded despondent. "What? Why?" Seth asked.Rosa naturally knew about what happened at Harvey's company.It was also obvious her son was up to something when he sent away her daughter-in-law and her grandson. Naturally, she tried to talk him out of it, but Harvey would not listen, and she could not do a thing about his stubbornness. "Don't bother," she told Seth, not wanting him to get involved. Seth, however, pressed, "What happened? You're making it sound so serious…""Don't ask. Just remember what I told you.""Okay," Seth replied begrudgingly.Once he hung up, however, he called his clinic and applied for leave—he decided that he must find Harvey.…Lulu Adams visited Barbara and her husband soon after she left the Slates.She was worried that she had tr

Zachary simply grinned, disregarding Lulu's wrath. "Even if you do, I would own up to it because I deserve that much. I've even written my will to ensure that you won't be punished."Lulu snorted coldly. "Save your cheap theatrics."Zachary did not mind that at all. "Whatever you say."He was being thick-skinned, and he could not care less about what Lulu said or thought about him. After all, he knew very well that Lulu's impression was long since tarnished, and he would just lose her if he still cared about his image now.This time, he would not lose her—he would keep her firmly within his grasp no matter the cost.However, Lulu only felt irritation from seeing his face, and she started to head out. Zachary followed her. "Where are you going?"Giving him a look, she replied, "I need a job.""I can give you money, or arrange for a position at my company. How does becoming my personal assistant or secretary sound?" He was smiling, but he was dead serious—he would never al

The Runaway Groom Chapter 1265
Soon after the wedding, Mr. Fowler proposed for Stan to work at his company to get used to the work over there.He was worried as he did not have much time left, and it would not do if he was gone before the proper arrangements were made.Still, Stan returned to Franconia with Isaac and his family, sorting out things at work and finishing every task he had on hand.While Isaac used to have a lot of free time with Stan around, he was just slightly busier after Stan left. After all, no company should operate in a way that losing a single person would stall all their operations.And after a week, Stan sorted out all the remaining tasks he had in Franconia and returned to Zidonia to start work at the Fowlers' family business.While Stan had property in Zidonia too, he moved into the Fowlers' mansion, but not as a live-in son-in-law. He was simply aware of Mr. Fowler's illness, and Rea wanted to spend more time with her parents.And as the son-in-law, he was obliged to do that much.
The Runaway Groom Chapter 1264
Despite feeling wistful, Mr. Fowler eventually passed Rea's hand to Stan. "I hope you will both cherish each other from now on."Rea told him, "We will."Thereafter, it was the usual proceedings of a wedding, with exchange of rings and vows, the wedding speech, and the luncheon!Though everything went smoothly, Mrs. Fowler could not help shedding tears.She was pleased that her daughter was finally getting married, especially since she was looking forward to this.But now that Rea really did marry, she was worried that her life might get difficult and unhappy.Such was the worrisome nature of mothers.-Later, Stan led Rea to Isaac's table.They were all acquainted, but Stan introduced everyone once again to reacquaint them with Rea.After all, she was no longer Zachary's friend's cousin now, but Stan's wife.Erin was grinning from ear to ear. "Congratulations.""Thank you." Rea smiled in return."Congrats," Baby said, imitating the adults.Rea reached out to stroke his c

Zachary said, "I heard you sealed the deal with Rea Fowler, and her family is preparing for your wedding."Stan smiled. "I'm the look of success—getting a girl couldn't be simpler. See? I'm getting married already.""Well, I guess we're all taken now," Erin said.Tommy poked his head up just then. "Congratulations, Uncle Stan.""Thank you." Stan chuckled, patting his head."Also, I heard that you're marrying into the Fowler family?" Zachary asked.Everyone turned to stare at Stan in shock, but it was understandable.Stan was not that modest that he would have to go that far—he had money and was successful enough to afford a wife.Still, Zachary—who knew the Fowlers—suggested, "To be fair, they do need someone to take care of the family business…"-Either way, it meant that Irene's family would be delaying their return trip to Franconia.After all, none of them had expected to attend Stan's wedding so soon after Zachary's.Stan himself did not expect that either, as he had

"What's the problem? We've already slept together," Rea said as she put her clothes on.She frowned as Stan was still on the bed and not moving. "What, are you going to stay in my bed forever?""What am I supposed to wear?" Stan shrugged. "You haven't brought my clothes here.""I'll get it for you."Rea remembered his suitcase then and hurried downstairs to bring it up."Wear whatever you like. I'll be waiting downstairs," she said and hurried away.Stan got out of bed and put on a suit—it was only right to dress formally when it came to discussing marriage.After cleaning up and heading downstairs, he found Rea sandwiched by her parents.Stan had no idea if she had already mentioned it, but both Mr. and Mrs. Fowler were both staring at him, leaving him further tense.Clearing his throat, Stan began, "Excuse me, but—""Yes, we agree to you marrying our daughter.""You mean marrying into our family," Rea corrected them.Everyone else was staring at her before asking all at o
The Runaway Groom Chapter 1261
If Rea asked her parents now, they would only get sad, and life would become difficult for everyoneWhat should she do to make them happy?Right, she could get married! Her parents would definitely be pleased. As for the choice of bridegroom, did she not have one readily available here?If Stan could pretend to be her boyfriend, he could definitely be her husband too.They could fake their marriage if they had to!Putting the medical file back where she found it, she wobbled up to her feet and left the room.Stan had yet to step out of the bathroom when she returned, so she sat on the bed and waited.After a while, Stan stepped out with a towel around his waist and paused when he saw Rea sitting there. "Where are my clothes?" He asked, presuming that Rea had forgotten since there was nothing on the bed or the table. "My suitcase is still in your car trunk."Rea turned toward him. "Let's get married."Stan was left speechless for a moment and soon chuckled, "Did you forge
The Runaway Groom Chapter 1260
Mrs. Fowler smacked her daughter, but while Rea thought she was angry, she said instead, "Just do your best."Rea's mind was blown—were her parents bewitched? They were completely different from before! A long time ago, her parents had used to tell her that she did not have to marry as long as she was happy.But later on, they had persistently sent her on blind dates… and now, they were telling her to seduce a man?Touching her mother's forehead, Rea asked, "Are you sick?"Mrs. Fowler slapped her hand off. "Your dad and I are leaving now.""Yeah." Mr. Fowler nodded. "The chauffeur is waiting."Rea walked them to the door and watched as their car left before returning inside.She did not go upstairs since Stan was asleep, and she would be bored—she was the type who just could not sit still.However, it was inappropriate if she left since that would leave nobody home.In her boredom, she thought of pranking Stan. She headed upstairs to find him asleep, and soundly at that.Ca
The Runaway Groom Chapter 1259
Unable to argue against her parents, Rea said, "Fine, fine. Whatever you say."Mrs. Fowler smiled. "Then help Stan upstairs to get some rest.""Which room?" Rea asked.Mrs. Fowler realized with a start and quickly said, "Oh, there's no bedding in the guest room… So let him stay in your room."Rea was left staring at her in shock. "When did you get so open-minded? Letting a man stay in your daughter's room?"Mrs. Fowler shrugged. "What can he do when he's drunk?""Haven't you heard of drunken fumbles?" Rea asked.Both Mr. and Mrs. Fowler shook their heads at the same time. "Nope."Rea was left totally speechless—this was just outrageous!She would think that Stan was actually their son, if it was not for the fact that they were not acquainted before.They were not like this before either—even if they were urging her to get married, they were not throwing her at a man like this!Mr. Fowler then said, "If anything happens, we'll demand that he takes responsibility and marries y
The Runaway Groom Chapter 1258
"I get it," Stan replied quietly. "I wouldn't have been upset even if you didn't explain yourself. But since you did, I forgive you."Rea's brow creased as she pursed her lips. "See? I knew it. We really shouldn't be too nice to you."While Stan was speechless, Mrs. Fowler was enthusiastically putting food on Stan's plate. "This is our family's favorite dish. Try it."Stan nodded after a bite. "It's good."Mrs. Fowler smiled, while Mr. Fowler poured him a glass of wine. "Can you hold your liquor?"Stan smiled. "More or less.""You're being humble now." Mr. Fowler smiled at him. "You're definitely a good drinker.""A little."Rea had enough right then. "Dad, Stan has work to do, and he has to return to Franconia tomorrow. You're going to make things difficult for him."Mr. Fowler smiled awkwardly. "Right…" "You think?" Rea huffed, snatching his wine away. "Everyone only gets to have one glass."Mr. Fowler glared at Rea. "Party pooper."Rea shrugged. "I'm doing this for your

Rea turned her head aside. "Then what's your hobby?"Stan did a double take and remembered his life… which was work and more work.It had been years since he took leave, and he would not get to goof off the last few days if it had not been for Zachary's wedding.Hobby? He certainly did not have anything like that.Now that he thought about it, his life was boring and monotonous, and he did not have anyone very close.That was why he wanted a kind, understanding wife to care and offer him company while he took care of her needs.When he looked up at Rea, he clearly felt that she was not for him—he needed someone to take care of him, but with her, he would be busy taking care of her instead."You're looking at me weirdly," Rea suddenly said."How so?" Stan asked.Rea moved closer, looking him in the eyes and asking solemnly, "Don't tell me—you've fallen for me?""You don't just suffer from a flawed personality—you're narcissistic too."Stan pursed his lips and checked the tim
