The Runaway Groom Chapter 82
Irene saw Sheryl and quickly turned to Harvey, who had returned as well.Why was he doing this? Why did he bring her mother here?!Even as her expression darkened, Sheryl hurried toward her. "Oh, Irene. This gentleman told me that he's your friend and was taking me to you. And you really are here!"Irene smiled at her. "Could you go in first?"Sheryl was puzzled, but nodded and entered the building. After making sure that Sheryl was gone, Irene glowered at Harvey. "What is this? Why did you bring my mother here too?"Harvey gave her a look. "I thought you were actually smart after all the times you escaped me. Why are you being so stupid now?""Who would know if you're really bearing ill will?" Irene was confused, but stared at him warily all the same since he had tried to mess with her so many times—he certainly was no angel.Harvey's face turned cold right then. "You're looking a gift horse in the mouth!"Irene sneered. "Are you saying you're being nice? Then why are you ke

Irene, however, knew that Harvey actually meant that the woman would be keeping an eye on them instead of taking care of them. Still, she kept that in mind without exposing him—it was understandable for Harvey to do that.Then, giving Irene a look, Harvey asked, "I'm actually curious about your relationship with Isaac. Would you mind telling me?"Irene chomped on a muffin before saying, "We're married."Harvey was speechless, his jaw almost dropping off right then. "What?!" he exclaimed, unable to believe his ears. "Come on, you can do better than that! Everyone knows that he's single, and you're saying you two are married? You're kidding!"It was natural for Harvey to doubt her, and he was convinced that she was using Isaac to stop him from having any funny ideas.Still, Irene calmly looked up at him. "I'm not lying. He wants revenge—that's why he's hunting me down.""Revenge against you?" Harvey appeared interested just then. "Do tell.""Our marriage is hidden, so not many

Before Irene could respond, Harvey said, "If you don't want to stay with Isaac Jefferson, and you've already broken up with your boyfriend… Why don't you just marry me?"Harvey had asked Irene who the child's father was before, and Irene lied that it was a boyfriend whom she had broken up with—that was why the child was now fatherless."No—""Don't be in such a hurry to say no," Harvey said, cutting her short. "We've been here for months, and I've shown that I can be nice, right? Aren't we friends, at least? There's no way you can stay here for the rest of your life, and if you don't want Isaac to keep haunting you, you need some degree of status."Irene looked at him as she pondered—it was true, she could not stay here forever. But once she left, being found by Isaac was just an eventuality. "I can be your shield. Just tell Isaac that your child is mine," Harvey suggested slyly then.Right now, he wanted to hurt Isaac in every way possible—he was even willing to make Isaac be

Even Stan, Isaac's personal assistant, was constantly on edge. Nonetheless, he reported to Isaac the instant he received a certain piece of information. "All the clues point to Sunny City. We've got nothing even after we searched that place for so long, but someone called us today with a tip that she was seen at the Sunny City General Hospital." Isaac was wearing a black shirt loosened at the collar, and a severe look immediately appeared in his eyes. "Get ready.""Are you going personally, sir?" Stan asked.Isaac ignored him and coolly said, "You've been searching for months, but you had nothing… Getting more competent lately, aren't we?"Stan kept his head lowered. "I think she's had help. There's no way she could have hidden herself so well if she was alone. Moreover, we had definitive leads that she showed up at Sunny City, but she seemed to disappear into thin air when we looked, only for her to reappear there now…That was when he remembered something else, and it seemed

Harvey entered and took a seat. "Long time no see, Mr. Jefferson." He greeted Isaac with a fake smile.The private room was dark, and Isaac appeared to be lounging—but the look on his face was inscrutable."To what do I owe the pleasure?" Harvey asked."I heard that the CEO of Hartman United reneged on your partnership offer?" Isaac asked evenly, but it was sheer humiliation to Harvey.Still, Harvey knew that Isaac was behind that, and he composed himself despite the fury in his heart. "It's just a partnership—if it falls through, it falls through."Isaac chuckled. "How magnanimous! How much did it cost you?"Harvey’s face darkened a little. Isaac was just trying to twist the dagger now! Harvey had always known that the man was swift and decisive, but he came so prepared that Harvey was completely caught off guard!Moreover, in spite of the devastating losses from that failed partnership, Harvey still had the advantage because he knew where Irene was."A loss is a loss. I

Irene was feeling uneasy. Somehow, she knew that Isaac would show up in Sunny City anyway."So, you're giving up?" she asked."No way!" Harvey was just getting pumped for a fight against Isaac. "The more he wants to get to you, the more I'll make sure he never does…"Nonetheless, he soon trailed off because he just realized that Sheryl and Irene's son were gone."Where's your mother and the baby?" he asked."They left last night," Irene replied—she did not plan to hide that anyway.She had been compliant over the last few days at the mansion, and they had become very friendly with the guards. Moreover, Harvey was not keeping her as well-guarded as he did before, which allowed her an opening. "Do you not trust me?" Harvey's face contorted in rage; he felt as if he was betrayed after being so nice to her for months!Irene held his gaze. "It's not as if I don't trust you, but Isaac is here, so I had to do something. What if you'd told him about me when you met him yesterday? I'm

Stan tried to stop it, but he was too late—Irene had already fallen out of the window.There was a dull thud, but Isaac coolly told him, "Take her away." With that, he turned and left the room.Stan peeked outside the window—it was not exactly high here since it was just the second floor, but anyone falling out from here would still be severely injured. He felt sympathy for Irene, but his heart was not aching for her.She was the one who challenged Isaac, and it was her own fault for running away when the world was her oyster.Everyone had spent months looking for her!Downstairs, Irene was curling up in agony, with her leg being especially painful. She reached out to touch it, and could tell that there was a broken bone.Even so, Stan barked at his men to pick her up unceremoniously—even a little violently! Irene had no strength to resist, allowing herself to be dragged around like a rag doll. Harvey was left watching helplessly as everything unfolded.While this might

Isaac remained apathetic. "Leave her be."As he headed upstairs, Mrs. Watson breathed a long sigh—she was not about to go against him, even if she felt sad for Irene.Moreover, Irene was the one at fault. How could she run away? Isaac had every reason to be angry.…The months when Irene was missing was an opportunity for Whitney Cox.Even if Isaac was still ignoring her, she still came every day with her homemade food in an attempt to win his favor again—to fulfill her dreams to enter that mansion as the lady of the house.It was the same today, and Mrs. Watson was used to Whitney showing up constantly.Taking the food containers she brought, she told Whitney, "I'm afraid Mr. Jefferson still doesn't want to see you, Ms. Cox. Please leave."Unrelenting, Whitney asked, "Did you say that, or did Isaac?""Mr. Jefferson has told you that on multiple occasions. Why would you still ask?" Mrs. Watson countered, leaving Whitney speechless. It was obvious that Mrs. Watson abhorre
