"We have a hit. I'm heading over as we speak."James had managed to track down the goons, but they were out of town so he needed to head over to confirm right away.He was already on his way, but he decided he should give Isaac a head's up."Good," Isaac replied. "Contact me when you have something.""Sure."With that, Isaac hung up and turned around, only to see that Irene was gone from their table.His heart skipped a beat—the unending list of trouble that occurred to her was almost freakish, leading to his mind always jumping to the worst-case scenario. He looked around frantically, but he eventually found her carrying a paper bag.He frowned and strode over to her. "Where did you go?"Irene held up the paper bag to show him. "I bought you donuts. There's nothing else available this late."As Isaac stared at her in silence, Irene presumed that he disliked it too. "Everyone likes snacks, but if you don't want it, we can just head home and ask Mrs. Watson to cook you someth

Irene frowned as she tapped on her phone again, and it was another message. [Refuse, and I will come to you at your workplace.]It almost sounded threatening. "What now?" Isaac asked. Irene pursed her lips, searching her mind endlessly to find who would possibly do this.No one came to mind apart from Seth Hedge, but he was not about to bother her with a broken leg. "They would look for me at work if I don't go," she told Isaac, unsettled.She was wary, and certainly did not like having this weirdness like this happening to her."I'll drive you to work tomorrow," Isaac said.Irene looked at him, feeling apologetic inside that she could not care for their family as a wife, or ease his list of worries. Instead, his own work was affected because of her.She lowered her gaze to Tommy, who was asleep in her arms. Both him and his baby brother were basically raised by Sheryl Harris. "Give me two years, Isaac. Dennis Turner picked me, and he's not going to find someone else
The Runaway Groom Chapter 774
The way the woman was butchered senselessly left Lulu flinching, even though she had seen her fair share of gore. Still, she quickly composed herself and opened her equipment box, whipped out a pair of gloves, and began examining the victim: a young girl with a pretty face.Initial examination suggests that she was tortured to death, though further investigation was needed for more details.Lulu was not distressed or embarrassed to see the victim brutalized beyond description, but she instead calmly and thoroughly examined every part of the victim's body, including the privates.When she was done, she said, "Initial post-mortem suggests extensive damage to internal organs to be the cause of death. Most of the observable damage is in her womb." "Is there nothing else?" Martin asked. "I took some samples to examine back at the lab. We might get something more conclusive there.""Good.""Captain, check this out," an officer said, picking up a bloody beer bottle.Martin glanced

Isaac and Irene turned simultaneously to find a blonde, fair-skinned foreign lady standing at the front door. She was young and beautiful, but Irene was positive she did not know her."You are…?""Are you Irene Spencer?" the woman repeated—her pronunciation was so perfect that no one would think that she was a foreigner if they only heard her voice. "Who are you?" Irene refused to answer her again."I'm asking, are you Irene Spencer?" Lara was equally stubborn and imposing!"I don't know you," Irene replied, and took Isaac by the hand and started to leave.Lara rushed toward them. "Don't you run away—"Eagle caught her the instant she strode forward and she glared at him. "Let me go." There was no way Eagle would—instead, he shoved with just his wrist, bouncing her off.Lara stumbled backwards and slipped, hitting the floor on her bottom. She frowned in pain but got up, dusting herself. "That was rude!" she snapped, pointing at Eagle and throwing the law in his face.

Lara glared at Irene and asked, "Seth loves you, doesn't he?"Irene frowned. "You're imagining things—""I'm not. My groom ran away and came here to Zidonia. And the only woman he was in contact with is you." It turns out that Lara came to Irene not only because she hurt Seth, but to find out what was going on between Irene and Seth!Irene raised a brow in turn. It seems this misunderstanding would persist if she did not make things clear. "First of all, I didn't even know that he's a runaway groom. We were just neighbors in the past, and we've never met or been in touch since he moved abroad. You can even verify that. In fact, we were only reunited by chance because I needed plastic surgery, and he happened to be the surgeon arranged by a friend. We barely met that many times even then."Lara certainly never found evidence that Seth was in contact with Irene before returning to the country."Then why did you hurt him?" she asked."Because he's disgusting," Irene replied.

There were cameras in the walkways of the hotel where Lulu and Zachary had their tryst.Her identity would be exposed if he saw the recordings, and she should not cause trouble for him since he decided to start over.Putting on her clothes, she hurried to the hotel.She spoke to the hotel management, but they had regulations against erasing it.While she was left at a loss what to do, Martin arrived. "What are you doing here?"Lulu tugged on her own sleeve in reflex, pursing her lips as she felt nervous inside. "W-What are you doing here?""I was going to check out," he said. Lulu then remembered that Martin had to lodge here because he was wounded."So? What were you doing here?" Martin asked just then.Lulu hesitated. "I-I wanted to ask them to delete the footage of me being here…"Martin stared at her for a couple heartbeats, but soon said, "I'll help."Walking up to the front desk, he flashed his badge and asked to delete the footage of Lulu.The management had to comp

The front desk receptionist put down the phone and told Irene, "I'm sorry, but Mr. Jefferson refused to see you. Please leave.""What?" Irene exclaimed in disbelief. Isaac refused to see her? Did he do something here that she was not supposed to find out?Whipping out her phone from her bag, she called him directly, but no one answered.As she frowned, the elevator nearby jingled before the doors opened and a ringtone could be heard.She looked up to find his towering figure striding toward her.His shirt collar was a little loose, while his straight cut trousers hugged his long legs.He was hardly his usual impeccable appearance in suit and tie. Irene stared at him then, realizing then that this was how he usually looked while he was at the office, and it somehow made him appear mundane. The receptionist saw the ringing phone Irene was holding, and then at Irene. She wondered then if she was Isaac's bride for that wedding, which had to be called off for some reason.As

Irene quickly turned toward Isaac, who had released her without her realizing it and stood there, looking all-serious.It was as if she was the one brazenly trying to kiss him."Mr. Jefferson." The employees at the door greeted Isaac just then."Yeah," Isaac replied flatly. "Come in."He took Irene's hand then and stepped outside, not forgetting to introduce her as they went. "She's my wife. Greet her properly the next time you see her.""Yes, Mr. Jefferson." The employees all agreed with one voice and turned toward Irene. "Hello, Mrs. Jefferson.""Hello." Irene smiled politely, but she loathed Isaac just then for making her look like a fool.First impressions were vital, and what were the people in this building going to think of her now?Isaac had completely ruined her image! Once inside Isaac's office and the door closed behind them, she grabbed Isaac by the collar down to eye-level. She had no choice since he was too tall—it was the only way to look into his eyes with
