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
The Runaway Groom Chapter 697
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

Ricky had decided to go to Lulu while Zachary was not at home.Lulu was just about to leave when he arrived, intending to look for Ricky since she needed his help.As they ran into each other at the front door, they stared into each other's eyes for a couple seconds before Ricky spoke. "Zachary is with James Cross. I came knowing that he won't be around—"Lulu stepped up and grabbed his wrist, pulling her somewhere quiet to talk. "I was just looking for you. I need your help.""What is it? Just tell me—I'll see to it," Ricky promised.Lulu gave him an address and told him, "There's a couple who lives there. The husband is Tobias Lang—he and his wife Barbara saved me. Zachary is threatening me with their safety, and I can't do anything or leave him because of that. That's why I need you to hide them so that Zachary would never find them.""That bastard!" Ricky cursed."That's enough, go already," Lulu urged, worried that they would be surprised if they were too late. Ricky held

Enrique was going to Seth the video when his phone rang.He answered it to Harvey's screams.Enqirueq's fingers clenched over his phone, his heart racing from the sheer horror of those screams. "Mr. Gooding?" he asked tentatively, but got no response.The call lasted for an entire minute, and Enrique listened for that long, his face turning pale.He did not want to imagine what inhuman torment Harvey was subjected to.Still, he was left dumbfounded when the call was suddenly cut off, confused by what just happened.Did they call him just to make him listen to Harvey scream?What was the point?"What is it? What's that look for?" Seth asked.Enrique shook his head. "I'm just worried about Mr. Gooding's safety.""Was that him?"Enrique nodded, and then shook his head—if his hunch was right, it was not Harvey, but Isaac who told his goons to do it.While he was still left confused about what the phone call was for, the door suddenly opened with a loud bang!Up to seven burl
